About

Little Hometown is a company that creates products that remind you of the feeling of home and belonging, no matter where you are. All of our designs are created by our founder Marie, who runs the business with her husband, Jeff and no employees. Little Hometown creates products with state, city, and regional themes. With 99.5% 5-star reviews online and over 1,500 small business retailers around the US, Little Hometown is not on Amazon, Target, or Walmart to support the local communities we serve.

Little Hometown offers baby blankets, bibs, onesies, pajamas, and have recently begun adding adult-size plush blankets as well. With over 200 designs for over 40 states, cities, and regions, we add the gift of home.

Founding Story

I’m a mama of two, New Orleans native, and founder of Little Hometown.I was born and raised in south Louisiana, though I’ve spent much of my adult life in New York City, where I met my Massachusetts-born husband, Jeff. NYC gave me some of the best years of my life, but home is where my heart stayed. Once it became time to start our family, we knew where we had to go: home, sweet, New Orleans!

A few years after my second child was born, I was inspired to create Little Hometown. My original idea was to offer large, cozy swaddles, a must-have baby item, that represented the beauty of my hometown.

The thought of exceptionally large and endlessly soft swaddles--two qualities I could never find--covered in crawfish, crabs, red beans, oysters, magnolias, and more brought joy to my heart. And when I’m packaging items and preparing gift messages from the sender, I’m inspired all over again by the joy that a little taste of home has to offer. I like to think that our customers aren’t just sending a gift - they are sending a connection.
