The Mai Teeni Blanket
The Mai Teeni Blanket is a fairly simple product: it's really just a blanket with a lush, silky feel, however, it's much more versatile than you'd think. You can use it just as a blanket, of course, or for swaddling. Or you can put it by your baby so he or she can enjoy the tactile sensation of feeling the silk and the bright colors. There's much to look at touch with this blanket, and sometimes it's the simple products that end up being your favorite.

Your Child's Art on Clay
Jess is always worried about saving the art the children make... but now there are bins and bins of it. If you'd like to keep some of your favorite work a little more permanently you can have it framed, of course, or you can put the work on a necklace with Your Child's Art on Clay.
You send in your image, and she'll put it on clay; the size changes depending on the work. The resulting pieces would make a great present.

The 'Return to Sender' bag
This colourful and multi-pocketed bag should appeal to toddlers, but it has a discreet safety feature that parents might like, too: the secret tags in the pockets contain space for name and address details. Not that it's exactly difficult to write your own details and pin them inside any old bag, but here's a design that kids will like to carry, and it's all done for you.
The Return to Sender bag is from e-Niko and costs only £5 (US$10).

New bedding from Nurseyworks
I'm obsessing a little bit over the color black in kid's clothing and accessories. Paired with a bright color, it seems so refreshing to me, so when I saw this new print from Nursery works, I was definitely intrigued. The bad news is I don't see it available on the Nurseryworks site aside from a press image, so I'll have to do a bit more investigating, but here's another new print that available now, a cheerful dot pattern designed by Lucy Sykes.

Snow & Graham's Cards and Paper
I am a sucker for really beautiful paper and stationery. Since my son's birthday falls right around the winter holidays, I wanted to find some cute wrapping paper for his bevy of gifts that wasn't Christmas themed. So during a rare shopping trip this winter (sans baby), I was delighted to find this cool blue monkey wrapping paper by designers Snow & Graham. I love how this simple design manages to be totally whimsical. This particular print also comes in pink.
In addition to their wrapping papers, Snow & Graham also makes fantastic letter press cards for all occassions. This certainly makes the fact that I am planning two baby showers right now much more fun! My current favorite is this little "and baby makes three" gem.
For more Snow & Graham wrapping paper, look on-line at Kate's Paperie. Cards can be found at Luxe Paperie as well.

Snappy Leg Warmers: Baby Spats
It's that awkward time of year again when the weather is shifting from cold to warm. During this seasonal limbo, it's often hard to predict just what baby should be wearing out of doors - should you take the warm snugly out of the stroller? Maybe bundle baby's legs in a blanket? Well wonder no more, as the folks at JamTots have come up with a perfect solution!
Baby Spats are designed to snap over that gap between the end of your tot's pant leg and the beginning of her socks, preventing that terrible draft that certain Old Wives just know will result in pneumonia. These come in multiple colors and designs and are much easier to pack away in a diaper bag or under the stroller than a blanket. With a budget friendly pricetag (about $11 USD), you can't go wrong.
Buy them on-line at JamTots.

Angel Brush: Teether's Best Friend
Take a gander at the Angel Brush by Baby Buddy. Upon first look, you may think to yourself, "Uh, what part of the baby is that for?" Touted mainly as a toothbrush, this flexible tool has six (count 'em, six!) surfaces of small bristles on its H-shaped brush head that clean and massage the tops, bottoms, fronts and backs of baby's' teeth and gums --- perfect for all of your little teethers and junior brushers.
Recommended by pediatric dentists, the Angel Brush won the iParenting Media Award - not too shabby! With proper supervision, of course, your tot is certain to chew and brush her way to a gummy euphoria. My son certainly did!
Available at Right Start.

The Rocket Flexible Spatula
What makes cooking with your parents such a fun thing? I remember every time my mother let me help her make french toast. Even putting cookie batter on a baking sheet is fun for a child and the idea that they helped to create something they'll then consume is a very empowering one.
The Rocket Flexible Spatula is a great way to get your children even more interested in cooking - how great to have a utensil that's just theirs! Perfect for cookies, pancakes, or the aforementioned french toast, this is a neat little spatula to have around the house.
It's six dollars very well spent.

MagMag Drinking System by Pigeon
At a recent playdate with an Australian friend and her daughter, my son decided that he and his little girlfriend should not only share their lunches, but also swap sippy cups. His was the usual Born Free 9 ounce blue cup that he totes everywhere and hers was this quirky looking orange MagMag cup from the Japanese company Pigeon. Well, smitten would hardly be the word to describe my guy's infatuation with this new item. We had tried other cups with straws but they all seemed so huge that they dwarfed him!
The MagMag, however, has handles and is about the size of an orange - perfect for little hands. The straw is the third stage top for this system, which starts as a bottle first and a soft spout second, so it grows with your baby. My friend's mother has been smuggling these cups in from Australia, since she couldn't find them in the U.S., but I recently found them on the Canadian website Galtak.
While no toddler melee ensued when it was time for my son to hand back the MagMag, I'm very glad that one is en route as I type...
