Bargain Tees for the Wee Ones

Deb Savvy — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:38:59 +0000

I’ve been shopping for baby gifts again – it seems like I’ve had a baby shower or actual baby arrival to celebrate just about every weekend – FOR MONTHS! It’s starting to wear a bit thin – I just can’t bring myself to send the same gifts over and over again. But I’m also getting just a little bit tired of shopping for baby stuff every single week. Anyway – I took a surf over to Coco Bonbons, thinking that maybe I’d find something cute and just a little bit different. Let me just say I was totally pleased with what I found.

Max Monster T-shirtAs usual, they had a great selection of original and whimsical clothes for babies and toddlers – and I found some pretty terrific bargains. I love their appliqued t-shirts with original characters like Sam Monkey, Charlie Airplane, Arthur Elephant, Max Monster and others.

Sophie Butterflies T-shirtRegularly $26 – lots of these adorable character tee shirts are now on clearance sale for only $7.98 – can you believe it? And lots of other items are on sale at similar discounts! At prices like these, I’m going to stock up and have some gifts on hand for the next few new arrivals.

Perfect First Playthings for the Little Ones

Deb Savvy — Thu, 29 May 2008 01:04:15 +0000

Things are going baby crazy around here – it seems like almost every day I’ve been off to visit a new arrival. And, of course, that means that almost every day I have been shopping for baby gifts. As things usually work out, by the time the baby has arrived, I’ve already attended a shower (or two) and already sent a gift (or two). But who wants to show up empty handed when visiting the newest arrival for the first time? Not me. I’ve been stocking up on cool toys from Constructive Playthings.

One of my current favorites is this Soft Activity Cube – a great value for only $19.99 and a sure winner with the little ones and with the parents, too. Both Little Guy and Tiny Guy LOVED it when they were littler and tinier, respectively.

I also really like these Photo Stacking Blocks. The photos add a personal touch and are a perfect way to keep loved ones close at play time. A fun gift – and a steal at only $13.99.

And they’ve got loads more choices too. Safe, non-toxic and, as they say, kid-tested and mother-approved.

Great Glass

Deb Savvy — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 01:32:27 +0000

Art glass lovers, take note. There is a HUGE selection of beautiful Murano glass and art glass at Novica.com . Explore the work of dozens of artisans and craftspeople from all over the world. You’ll find wonderful glass for gifting. And for keeping, too. At prices starting well below $50 up to several hundred dollars for all but the most expensive pieces.

I love the look of this small Murano vase and at $47.95, it’s quite a good buy.

Murano handblown vase, ‘Ember’

The fiery red glow of this vase is fascinating. It is intense and passionate, and contrasts elegantly with its crystalline finish. The Seguso Family mastermind the illusion as they craft the vase by hand with traditional blown glass techniques inherited from Murano, Italy. The presence of air bubbles accentuates the nature of the traditional hand blown crafting process, making each piece unique. Other designs, sizes and colors are available from the same artists.

I also like the glass star mobile – what a wonderful gift for a baby shower! Also under $50.

Glass mobile, ‘Dancing Stars’

Brilliant Baby Blanket

Deb Savvy — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 00:58:07 +0000

Now, this is one of the most ingeniously clever things that I’ve seen in a while. And such a simple idea. Yet positively brilliant. The Bahama Baby Blanket (from the oh so innovative Bahama Towel Company ) has patented sewn-in feet so you can place baby in a car seat or stroller without having to unwrap the blanket. Like I said, brilliant!

They also offer adorable Bahama Kids Hooded Towels and Bahama Kids Hooded Robes, so kids can get warm and toasty when they come out of the pool or bath. And their original designs for beach towels are equally ingenious. They include a sewn in pocket that prevents the towel from slipping off your lounge chair. Love that!

Millions of toys manufactured in China, including many very popular and common toys manufactured by Mattel, Fisher Price and other major brands, have been recalled because they’ve been painted with lead based paints. OY! And we’re talking about some of the most popular and common toys for little kids. The kind of toys that wind up in little mouths. DOUBLE OY! At this point, we’re all thinking about two things when it comes to safe toys. First and foremost – what to do about the toys that are already in the house. The answer is to check all your toys thoroughly and return EVERYTHING that is on ANY of the recall lists. Many experts also suggest testing remaining toys with a home test kit. Some people are even going as far as to get rid of any metal or painted toys that were made in China, regardless of their inclusion on a recall list. How far to take the toy purge is a personal choice and I am far from an expert on the subject and would never tell anyone how to make the best choice to protect their children, grandchildren, neices and nephews. I urge anyone reading this to educate yourself thoroughly about the facts and to check your home for recalled or suspicious products. In other words, get the lead out!

Once that’s over, you’ve got to be thinking what I am at this point. This is awful. This is a pain. This is annoying. And most of all – I do not want to do this again. Ever. I want to buy toys that I know are safe so I don’t need to worry. Wondering how to do that? Check this out. I’ve always been a fan of eBeanStalk.com. Each one of their developmental toys is hand selected by experts to nurture intellectual growth and inspire creativity in newborns, toddlers and children up to about 5 or 6. And here’s one more reason to be a fan. NOT ONE TOY ON THEIR SITE WAS INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL! And even better: THEY’VE LEAD TESTED EVERY SINGLE TOY THEY SELL JUST TO BE SURE. Now if that’s not enough to inspire confidence, I don’t know what is. I’m completely impressed with eBeanStalk.com and I know you will be too.

A Fail Safe Baby Gift

Deb Savvy — Fri, 18 May 2007 00:36:39 +0000

When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a gift card from babyGap.com - Normally I am not a fan of giving and receiving gift cards, but this is one exception. Why? First of all it’s virtually IMPOSSIBLE to have children and not regularly shop there, but that’s not the only reason why I think these cards make the perfect baby gift. If you shop there regularly then you know how frequently the inventory turns over. Sometimes things are only in the store a couple of weeks before whatever is left is marked down to make room for new arrivals. It seems like such a waste to buy something knowing that it could cost half as much in a matter of days. I’ve given gifts that the parents later noticed on the sale rack and subsequently returned them in exchange for sale merchandise. Why not just save them the trouble?

If you can’t bring yourself to send a gift card or you really want a gift that can be openend are remembered as coming from you, I suggest you go for the classic denim pieces. The simple signature jean jacket does not go on sale quite as frequently and every cool baby needs one!

Biker Chic Baby Gifts

OK, I’m the first to admit that this idea is not appropriate for everyone. But for the right people – or the right child - baby biker gear is PERFECT. I love the idea of the Harley Davidson rocking hog.

And the toy box is totally cute too.

Harley-Davidson Toy Caddy

I found both of these at HomeVisions where they’ve got a nice selection of motorcycle themed decor and more for the even the smallest bikers. And a few very nice coupon offers:

For Elegant Baby Gifts…

Deb Savvy — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 04:34:19 +0000

Consider silver. Select something traditional like a sterling silver baby or toddler spoon, a small handled drinking cup or perhaps a rattle. A classic gift like this becomes an immediate keepsake, something that will be treasured and kept for the next generation. Expect to spend between $50 and about $125 or more, depending on the size and complexity of the piece. Silver plate is less expensive than sterling silver and is still quite lovely. These are two of my favorite websites for elegant yet affordable gifting. Both have nice selections of sterling silver and silver plated baby gifts. Check it out.
