DwellStudio Junior Book Shelves
These new junior bookshelves from DwellStudio are really quite nifty. Carved from one piece of wood, your child can store a few choice books in a truck, snail or elephant. A very nice addition to any playroom or nursery, indeed. And better yet, a nice neutral array of colors. The $170 price tag is a little hard to swallow, but if you've got the bucks, why not get all three? Of course, you might wind up on a wait list as they are all sold out on Design Public.

Finally, a place for your kid's toothbrush: the Poke Organizer
I have a problem with just throwing my toothbrush in a cup when I'm done with it. I prefer to hang it instead. So naturally, I'm imposing my little "isms" on my own child and insisting on hanging his toothbrush up as well. The problem is that a lot of toddler toothbrushes are made with bulky handles for ease of use. The Poke Organizer, made with flexible silicone, solves this problem. So hang those big bulky toothbrushes, moms and dads, and rest easy that their little handles aren't collecting germs somewhere at the bottom of a cup! Available at Umbra.

LuCoo - fun products for kids
LuCoo is the creation of Seattle mom Amy Laybourn, and I am quite fond of one of her characters - this little robot guy. Too bad the fleece plush doll is sold out, but you can still find him on pillows and t-shirts.

Zid Zid Kids Portfolio
Of late, I have been editing the kids' artwork, choosing really great stuff they've made over the years and keeping it safely stored for future framing, reference, their delight, etc. Here is the perfect portfolio to put it all in. I may have to indulge in more than one to fit all of the collected creativity three kids amass, not a problem since these are so beautiful, and with the added whimsy of sparkly zippers! Love.

Handy sandwich wrapper
How much do you spend in a year on cling-film or tinfoil, I wonder? Or, indeed, how much sandwich packaging goes into landfill with your name on it? If these are the types of issue that worry you, then the simple idea behind the Re-usable Sandwich Wrap should appeal.
Wipe-clean on one side, cotton on the other, and with a Velcro closer, apparently it'll stand up to the occasional machine wash. And while the design does look susceptible to the 'I could make that at home' train of thought, I'm sure there are just as many who think, 'Just £4.50 - well, why not?'.

Wishosaurus
If you're planning a dinosaur-themed party but can't quite manage a dinosaur cake, here's your easy answer. The Wishosaurus holds up to ten candles and imparts a dinosaur theme to the plainest of cakes. That leaves you to get on with worrying about dinosaur balloons, masks, and games. Good luck.

Storage Bags By Jenna Rose
This is endless: storing and organizing all the things that accumulate with kids. We "spring clean" all the time and yet I find myself needing a bin or two for all the loose stuff. Jenna Rose has designed some options that could work nicely in a child's bedroom.

Handmade Correspondences from Flaunt
These new correspondence cards by Flaunt (and exclusive to enfant terrible) had me giggling straight away. I just found them so quirky and funny - and I would have loved to have received something similar myself.
These little hatchlings are hand made in Vancouver of mulberry paper and feathers and come in a variety of silly options - like "welcome baby", "dad" or "and baby makes three".
A trip to Flaunt's website to view their greeting cards is definitely worth it as well. They are perfect for a kid's thank you note or even a party invitation.

A few picks from Sweet William
Stuffed animals, at times, can teeter over on the overly-cute side, but you can argue that these stuffed animals from Hansa are anything but. This hen, for example, is pretty realistic. Made by Hanso and available at Sweet William , they are a refreshing take on the ubiquitous stuffed animal.
While you're on the site, make sure to check out the sale happening at this very well curated Williamsburg store. Picks like Golden's picnic dress shown below (I picked up 2 dresses for my girls) and atsuyo et akiko, je t'aime brooklyn bag are the perfect summertime purchases.

Backpack by Dante Beatrix
It didn't take long for Dante Beatrix, mavens of fashionable mommy bags, to branch out into kids' carryalls. And like their larger forebearers, these spunky little packs possess all the of fun and funk of the mom-sized versions. Durable, roomy and lightweight, they're also sure to sport at least one of your pre-schooler's favorites: penguin, pig, dino, bunny, lion, shark, monkey, bear or bee.
For older kids, there's even a larger eco-pack, made from recycled plastic bottles.
