Counting the Days!

Happy Friday, everyone! Any great plans for the weekend? I popped in to Giggle, one of my favorite baby stores today, looking for a baby gift for one of my favorite people (I'm looking at you, Elisabeth!). It occurred to me that many of us are at the stage where we're buying lots of baby gifts, and thought that I might give you a few recommendations that will guarantee a happy recipient who will get a lot of miles out of your gift.

(JoyaBaby Diaper Wallet)

This diaper wallet is one of the best gifts I received when I was pregnant with Emi. I used it instead of a diaper bag, and I still tuck it into my purse when we leave the house. It has a mat to make any surface a changing table, and two pockets for diapers and wipes.

(Baby Memory Book, Noveau Designs)

Many baby books hit one of two extremes: super saccharine or bland, bland, bland. These hit just the right balance of sweet and modern. 

 (Little Anchor Teething Toy, Little Sapling Toys )

We met these folks at the Martha Stewart Craft Sale, and they could not have been friendlier. They were also super-humble, considering their toys are selling like hot cakes are in high demand. I love the anchor shape of this teething toy. Just because it spends time the baby's mouth doesn't mean that it has to make the mom want to hide it whenever it's not. 

(Sophie La Girafe)

This is a classic toy; there's something about Sophie that all babies love. And it has a long shelf life; after the baby has stopped using it as a teether, he or she will likely continue to love to use it as a special comfort toy or "pet." 

Hope you all have a very happy day! We're working this weekend on some fun and exciting stuff (raise your hand if you just made a million billion teeny-tiny sugar cookies!), and we can't wait to see you back here on Monday. Have a lovely weekend!
