When it comes to clothing for little girls, you don’t have to look far to find cute. Everything is cute. And pink. And purple. The challenge is looking beyond that to find cute in the everyday. Cute in the not pink. So when I received an email from the folks at Simply Chickie, describing their [...]
Spike the ULTRA DINOSAUR made by Imaginext® charmed his way into my daughter’s heart the first time she saw him. I know you’ve seen the displays. All the kids keep pushing the button to make him stomp and ROOOAARR!!! He is too cool!
We met Spike for the first time Christmas morning. I had him wrapped up in such [...]
I’m not a mom who enjoys really ”messy” projects. So, when my boys kept asking for Martian Matter Alien Maker Playset – Spaceship I was a little apprehensive. I took a quick look and saw that it came with “Lunar Lava” and “Martian Mud” and thought that this was going to end up being a mess [...]

This year nearly 52 million households will be buying toys. But with this rough economy, do we have to spend money to buy that special gift for our children? Or can we do something instead which is sincere and from our heart, that will touch their little hearts even more?
My brother once took [...]
Do you have a food lover on your gift list (or, a foodie, if you prefer)? This is a cool gift for anyone who appreciates fine food, and especially loves cooking.
Nudo, a group of Italian artisans, has an Adopt an Olive Tree program where purchasers (or whomever they gift it to) actually sponsor an olive [...]
I love personalized presents. Shutterfly has to be one of the easiest photo gift websites out there today. I was a bit skeptical while I was putting together my 20 page 8×8 photo book. I’ve had some mediocre experiences with similar products before that left me unmotivated to bother ordering anything else. I’m already planning to [...]
