Ambajam, www.ambajam.com, of Denver, makes kid clothes and blankets that feature brightly colored animal appliques, $26. Find Ambajam designs at Poppy, 2098 Broadway St., in Boulder.

Yay: The appliqués hip up drab baby clothes, and can be reapplied on clothes as the child grows. The animals have crazy designs, textures and colors, with names like “tangerine orange” and “turquoise snow cone.”

Hmm: Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t help but thing that these patterns look like something you’d want around if you popped a bag of magic mushrooms.
