Now this is a library branch! The Tree Bookcase, made for Nurseryworks by Shawn Soh ($850), brings the great outdoors home and inspires a lifelong love of nature and reading. 47.25 x 6 x 63 zero-grade MDF tree with low VOC lacquers (choose from snow or forest green) attaches to the wall and holds over 100 (!) books. Plant this seed and watch curiosity grow.
Yeah, those moldy cardboard boxes in the basement aren’t gonna cut it, pops. Move up to Stella Stackable Storage. ($350) This ultra swank interchangeable unit gets your kids cleaning and looking fab in the process. 100% recycled wood boxes with handles can be stacked up in any combination, and give plenty of room for toys, clothes, etc. And oh-by-the-way they look just a little better than those sodden boxes you were going to use…
Lighting and décor does not get any more beautiful than the Single Pink Ruffle Pendant from Doodlefishkids. ($378) This pendant light with ruffled pink shade is the ultimate in kid luxe. The shade is custom made when you order, so nobody else will ever have the same one. Beautiful and singular enough for your beautiful and singular daughter.
It’s a case of adorable exposure with the Baby Bloomers with Flowers Gift Set from Born Fabulous. ($32) This set of three 100% cotton bloomer unders is packaged with the butt flowers popping out of the flower box gift box, and it just gets cuter from there. And now for something completely different: a girl with three floral bums…
If bling is their thing, your little starlet will love the Swarovsky Wall Letter. ($93 ea.) This is décor turned up to 11. Each letter is about 8” with hanging ribbon, and full of hot pink rhinestone style. It’s a great way to make a huge pop in their room! Decorate like you mean it: your glamour kid will thank you.
Who said frogs are homely? The Frog and Prince Chandelier from Baby Bee’s Boutique ($350) is pretty damn adorable. This hand-crafted porcelain fixture features three kissing frogs off a harlequin center piece. This is an incredibly high-quality piece, long available only in high-end boutiques. Now it’s yours with a click. (Shades are not included, BTW) We can’t, unfortunately, deliver a prince. But hey, you’re half way there…
Why should the ladies have all the fun (and protection)? Get your little cutthroat the Jannuzzi Pirate Sun Hat! ($18) This 100% cotton hat offers 100% protection from the rays and 100% swashbuckling style. No lame Strawberry Shortcake styling here! Keep ‘em safe and looking kick-ass.
Square pegs don’t easily fit into round holes, as your kids will learn with the Geared Shape Sorter from P’kolino. ($29.99) Crank the gears and try to fit the blocks into their proper hole! The blocks drop out the back, so they can try again. It’s a great way to learn about color and shape recognition while developing fine motor skills. Wait, learning can be fun?!? What????
A rose by any other name wouldn’t be as sweet as the Polka Dot Infant Foot Wrap from Toe Blooms. ($25) Two stretchy polka dot bands with gorgeous flowers and rhinestones slip onto your little princess’ feet and turn an ordinary stroll into a parade of oohs and aahs and glamour. No pictures or autographs, please…
Eating well and one-handed? Hells yeah! The Plum Dispensing Spoon from Boon Inc. ($4.99) is a godsend for moms with their hands full. The award winning (and of course BPA/Phthalate/PVC free) Plum dispensing spoon now screws on to the full line of ready-to-go Plum Organics baby food pouches. You’ve got enough to juggle, mom: take feeding time gymnastics off your plate.
