Magical Moments

May 21, 2013 By Leave a Comment

I was lucky enough to get invited to the Disney Baby “Expect the Magic” event last week, where I was able to have a sneak peek at some of the new Disney Baby products!

Not only were Tigger and Winnie the Pooh there (which was VERY exciting for our family), but the products did not disappoint!

A stand out this year was the new Disney Baby Paint Line (which features magical elements like confetti and glitter)!

In terms of gift ideas, here were a few of my favorites:

1. Character Cups:  I loved these sippys – they sort of resemble the” lollacup,” but in a Disney sort of way.

2. Nemo Gear:  Super cute onesies and a cozy bath robe and slipper set!

3. Hooded Towels: Towels make a great gift-and what little munchkin wouldn’t want a Tigger or Pooh hooded towel?!

4. Blanket Set:  Mickey Mouse stuffed animal plus a cozy blanket – great new baby gift!

Buzzworthy

May 2, 2013 By Leave a Comment

 

As I was walking up and down the aisles at the NY Gift Show a few months ago,  something caught my eye: Bold, Beautiful, Kid-Friendly Canvas Prints – and I just HAD to stop!

Buzzworthy baby creates gorgeous prints that include TONS of information about the new bundle of joy: name, weight, hospital, parents names, pet’s names, first home address, and more!

After talking to the owner Devin and learning about Buzzworthy Baby, I was not only in love with the product, I was in love the STORY!

Thirty years ago, Devin’s mom Kris started the business of creating colorful collages and giving them as baby gifts – well, the idea took off and people loved them!  The business came to a halt when Kris decided to raise her boys…until one of them grew up and decided to re-launch the company and re-create buzzworthy baby!

Canvas prints start at $110, and they have a fabulous gift certificate option (so the couple can fill in all of the important details).  This is a thoughtful and beautiful gift for a baby shower, new parents, or first birthday!

Boston Love

April 24, 2013 By Leave a Comment

I absolutely  love this company:  Sisters of Los Angeles – they create unique glassware sets with different city names printed in organic ink (New York, LA, San Fran, Las Vegas).

They recently launched their Boston Set to benefit the Erika Brannock Fund (one of the surviving victims of the Boston Marathon attack).

From their site:

“Erika had traveled to Boston to see her mother run the Boston Marathon. This 29-year-old schoolteacher from Towson, Maryland suffered extreme injuries including the amputation of part of her left leg.  $15 from the purchase price of each set of Boston Rocks Glasses from our site will be donated to this fund. We thank you in advance for supporting SoLA with its efforts to support Erika’s recovery.”

The set is $44, and you can check it out here: Rocks Glasses Boston Set
