Our baby creepers, kids Tee’s, infant hats and baby bibs not only encompass cute design and playfull sayings, they also come packaged in retro metal lunch boxes that make great baby shower gifts and fun birthday party treats for little ones. If you are up for a little playful name calling and somewhat confused animal behavior, we have you covered with our Wee Bubba and Chirp Daddy lines.</description><language>en</language><lastBuildDate>Sat, 17 Mar 2012 11:57:48 PDT</lastBuildDate><atom10:link xmlns:atom10="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" rel="self" type="application/xml" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/megiant" /><feedburner:info xmlns:feedburner="http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" uri="megiant" /><atom10:link xmlns:atom10="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" rel="hub" href="http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/" /><item><title>Behind The Scenes Look at a Photo Shoot</title><link>http://www.megiant.com/4608/behind-the-scenes-look-at-a-photoshoot/</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Product catalog and magazine photos are great, but have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to get those great shots?  Wonder no more&amp;#8230;here&amp;#8217;s a quick video showing you some behind the scene looks of our recent photo shoot.  It takes a lot of work to stage and light, but it&amp;#8217;s fun.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The final product &amp;#8230; aka Amazing Photos, will be up on the site next week.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Live Giant,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Shelia www.megiant.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
