CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNERS!  | | Goore’s for Babies to Teens
Family-owned Sacramento-based Goore's is the best of both worlds: While the store is 30,000 square feet and carries as much inventory as any superstore, the customer service and attention to detail rival that of a cozy boutique. A few loyal customers drive upwards of 45 miles just to shop here because they know they will find what they are looking for and if not, any helpful employee will be glad to order it.
Co-owner Richard Goore says that their store philosophy is simple: "Offer the best service and selection of quality merchandise under one roof at great prices. This is why we say 'It means so much more when it comes from Goore’s!'"
In addition, they have consistently wonderful sales, and returns are never a problem (even without a receipt) because each and every person's purchase history is stored in a computer (how cool is that?!). Cradle readers have gushed about features the store offers such as "meet the manufacturer" days and car seat installation, "even when it is super hot outside". One Goore's devotee says, "Just stepping inside brings warm feelings and wonderful memories of childhood." Well, who wouldn't want to shop at a family-owned establishment that evokes that kind of nostalgic bliss?
Cradle note: Check out their newly re-launched website – Richard Goore says that they’ve made their customer’s shopping experience even easier!

| | Dimples & Dandelions
The Dimples and Dandelions website has a great vibe the moment you enter it--soft pinks and browns are accented by adorable fairy graphics, letting you know you are entering a whimsical land of online shopping. However, there is also plenty of funky merchandise like rocker diaper bags and leopard covered shopping cart covers. The brands they carry are truly unique – we Cradlers see a lot out there in the mom and baby world, and we had never even heard of such lines as 'Monster Republic' clothing and 'Andy's Gang' crib bedding before seeing them here.
Customers rave about the high quality of products, fast and reasonable shipping, and super attentive customer service. (Dimples and Dandelions offers phone support, which many smaller websites do not.) They will also offer a price match on any product found elsewhere for a cheaper price (and who wouldn’t love that?). So if you did not know of Dimples and Dandelions before, check out why Cradle readers voted it the Best Online Boutique.
