Kyte Baby's holiday drop adds 10 Hanukkah pieces

The holiday card is booked for Sunday and every person in the house has something to wear except the one who will be in the front of the photo. Kyte Baby put 52 new pieces up yesterday morning in three prints, and for once one of them is a menorah.

What went live

The drop is called Holiday 2, it landed Thursday at 10 a.m. Central with no early access, and the brand had the date and the full style list on its own October calendar three weeks ago. Hanukkah Nights is ten pieces on a midnight ground with metallic gold menorahs, dreidels and stars. Peppermint Stripe is sixteen, cardinal and ruby on vanilla. Holiday Pups is twenty-six, a breeze-blue field of dalmatians and huskies in Santa hats, and it is the only one of the three that reaches the nursery.

The Hanukkah one

It is the news here, quietly. Bamboo brands do Christmas in eleven colorways and Hanukkah in a bib, if at all. Kyte’s runs the actual range: a $14 bib, a $26 crew neck tee, $38 toddler pajamas, a $38 zippered footie and romper, a $44 twirl dress that nothing else in the drop has, a $95 women’s jogger set, a $105 men’s jogger set and a $150 women’s pajama set. There is a $20 dog bandana, which is either the best or worst thing in this paragraph.

The catch on the good print

Holiday Pups is app-exclusive. The best print of the three, the only one with the crib sheet at $46, the swaddle at $32, the baby blanket at $50, the twin sheet at $75 and the $150 youth blanket, is not on the website. You download the app or you do not buy it. Peppermint Stripe and Hanukkah Nights are open to everyone.

What the rest of it costs

Fourteen dollars gets you in at the bib. A 1.0 TOG sleep bag is $55 and the 2.5 is $60, the sleep bag walker is $75, toddler pajamas are $38 in 18 months through size 12, and the adult sleep bag walkers in Peppermint Stripe are $150 sleeveless and $180 with sleeves. Men’s long sleeve pajama sets top the drop at $160. Shipping is free over $85 at kytebaby.com.

What we’d buy

If you need one thing, the $38 toddler pajamas in Peppermint Stripe. They photograph like candy canes, they come in ten sizes, and nobody can tell from a phone screen whether the whole family matched on purpose. If you celebrate Hanukkah, buy the twirl dress or the footie now rather than in December, because ten pieces is a short run and this is the first year it has been a real range. Skip the dog bandana unless the dog is in the card. Then it is $20 well spent and we will not question it.
