Smart Mom Jewelry Teething Bling  $19.99

This is a fun new mommy gift!  Babies love to grab and chew everything in sight, so many moms take a hiatus from wearing jewelry while they have a baby.  Teething Bling^® from Smart Mom Jewelry is the original teething jewelry with pendants and bangles that look great and safe for curious babies to handle and chew.  They’re made of FDA approved materials that teethers are made of, all non-toxic, phthalate, BPA, PVC, latex and lead free.  All pendants come with a breakaway clasp as an added safety measure.

pediped® Originals® $32 and up

Pedipeds are a great first shoe for infants and they remain the best choice as children begin walking on their own.  The soles were specially designed to closely mimic barefoot walking; They are soft and flexible and allow children to grip the floor when taking those early steps and developing their stride.  Unlike those crazy chunky heavy flat soles that cause babies to walk like Frankenstein J  The pediped® Originals® collection is available in sizes 0-24 months and you can find their super cute designs in tons of stores or online.

Aden & Anais Swaddle 4-pack   $49.99

Mothers have swaddled babies forever.  It’s a gentle and effective way to soothe and calm baby.  Studies have shown that swaddled babies sleep more peacefully by preventing spontaneous movements (called reflex motion) which continually wake them through the night; swaddled infants stay in REM sleep.  Which means Mom and Dad get more sleep, too!  The muslin material lets air circulate, so overheating isn’t as much of a concern.  Aden & Anais have great prints and organic options as well.  Love!

Joovy Room Play Yard   $269.99

The Joovy Play Yard is designed to be a full-featured nursery center- it’s a bassinet, changing station and playard all in one.  It’s super convenient and multi-purpose to have at Grandma’s, on a trip or in a room in your home.  The nylon fabric is super strong, durable and stain resistant.  It’s got a full-size bassinet that holds an infant up to 15 pounds and the removable changing table supports a baby up to 25 pounds.  The parent organizer is the biggest available on a playard with nine compartments that hold up to 9 lbs. of nursery items (again, perfect on at a vacation home where you’ll have all your diapering items, maybe toys and clothing.)  Room also has some bells and whistles:  a built-in MP3 (iPod) jack for you to play a personal playlist or the integrated music with sleep mode as well as a built-in nightlight positioned to work inside the bassinet!

Baby Cargo Ultra lightweight Stroller 300 Series $179

Unfortunately we ran out of time before I could feature the brand new Baby Cargo stroller line! Baby Cargo is made for parents on the go- it’s made for travel around neighborhood or hoping on a plane or train and heading out of town!  It weighs under 16 pounds and has a great shoulder strap for carrying it.  Baby Cargo strollers’ design was inspired by fashion and interior design.  Someone said the colors and mod design makes them think of West Elm.  It’s super easy to fold and has great storage pockets.  You can come kick the tires at Please Touch on 1/21- they’ll be there showcasing their line to Philly parents!

Today we featured some of our fave finds for unique gifts for all of the people on your list this holiday season!  Details of the items featured today follow the video with links to the sites.  Be sure to allow enough time for holiday delivery!!  Also, read below about how to win the Ltd. edition Sugarjack diaper bag!

SugarJack Gabi Ltd. Edition Bag $729

Sugarjack is a new, luxury line of diaper bags from the U.K., just now available in the U.S.  Created by stylish parents who weren’t willing to compromise on style, quality and function while they carried a diaper bag, Sugarjack bags are made of the finest leather and boast of their signature removable baby organizer.  These bags are genius and gorgeous!!  The organizer has room for all of the baby items you could possibly need while on-the-go with baby, and then snaps out easily for mom to have a stunning handbag when she is out child-free or is ready to shed the baby bag altogether!

All Sugarjack bags come in a keepsake box that can be used to save baby’s special items.   A bamboo bag contains the accessory pack which includes a thermal bottle holder, a pvc pouch for wet items and a pvc wipe clean travel changing pad.  The bamboo bag is anti-bacterial so is ideal to use in the nursery as a laundry bag.  Every item is designed with the long term in mind, so that you can keep using every part of the package.  Each diaper bag has internal hooks so that the bags can be attached to any stroller using Buggy Clips, which may be purchased for $30.

The whole collection is available on the Sugarjack site ($385 and up), including the ‘oliver’ which is a satchel bag designed specifically for the style conscious daddy.  Sugarjack bags must be ordered by December 10^th for guaranteed holiday delivery.

Today on “The 10! Show” I featured the Gabi, a Ltd. Edition bag; only one hundred of this style will ever be made and each one has it’s own unique number on a silver plated disc just inside the organizer.   This bag will be raffled to a lucky mom-to-be at the Expectant Parent Bootcamp which we are pleased to be partnering with the Please Touch Museum to present on January 21, 2012!

Indigo Night personalized night sky poster $49 to $109

Personalized Night Sky posters are a totally unique, very thoughtful and meaningful gift.  I love the idea of giving this as a new baby gift to proud parents who probably have all of the gear, clothing and toys they could possibly need!  A small group of illustrators, artists, writers, and astronomers work together to create a rendering of a local view of the true night sky for the latitude and longitude of your location, on the date you specify.  The print includes a description of that night’s Night Sky; you select an illustration to go with sky and add personalization – a headline and message (There are a ton of samples on their website).  A basic 14×18” print is just $49 and a framed one is $109.  A separate, detailed starmap is included with each print, naming the constellations, planets and stars shown in the print.  Turn around time is pretty quick- they can be shipped out about three days from order date.

Em Tanner Designs personalized gifts $12 to $65

Em Tanner Designs is my go-to for birthday shirts, big brother/little sister shirts and holiday gifts for teachers, caregivers, and bus drivers!  They have everything you can think of and more that can be personalized in a variety of ways, but our favorites for gifting are the “Me 2 a Tee” items!  Each year my kids create a character that looks like their teachers and we order them water bottles or if they are known coffee drinkers, a closed-top tumbler.  Useful and created by their student, these are a huge hit every year!  Order now to allow for holiday delivery!!

Creative Baby iMat $69.99

The Creative Baby iMat is an brand new toy perfect for the older toddler or preschooler in your life.  These won’t be available to order until next week.  The iMat is an interactive, soft play mat and magic pen that is great fun to play with.  The magic pen can be used in Language Mode to name objects it touches on the pad in English, Spanish and Chinese, and can also be used in Game Mode to play interactive games.  The “My Animal World” iMat is the first in a series.  So fun!

Isotoner SmarTouch gloves

Isotoner SmarTouch gloves are a great gift for anyone on your list! These gloves that have conductive thread that conveys an electrical impulse to touchscreens, allowing the wearer to operate their smartphone, MP3, GPS, etc., all while keeping their fingers cozy!  Isotoner SmarTouch gloves are super comfortable and offer more flexibility than other touch gloves on the market.  Available in leather, knit, fleece-lined and a variety of colors, and for $12 – $38, these are great for teachers, sitters, and stocking stuffers for parents on-the-go!

Just in time for Cyber Monday… From the fun to the practical, check out our faves for new baby gift giving over on one of our fave local sites, PhillyParentCircle.com!

• Skip Hop Complete Sheet $24.  Crib bumpers and bedding have historically been the focal point of nursery décor and the inspiration for many parents’ nursery themes.  However, in light of safety concerns and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations to avoid use of soft, pillowy crib bumpers, and to remove all bumpers once baby starts to pull up, many parents are opting against their use.  Skip Hop has a creative solution that offers a stylish, functional alternative- the Complete Sheet. It’s a fitted sheet designed to essentially create the illusion of a crib bumper, by having a different design on the side of the crib mattress. So simple and also genius!  At only $24 for the sheet alone, or $120 for the coordinated set which includes a sleep sack, blanket and crib skirt, it may also appeal to more budget-conscious parents.  Other benefits are that traditional bumpers don’t fit in some of today’s cribs and that not using a bumper that ties in multiple places, makes sheet changes that much easier.   Available in December 2011, Skip Hop Complete Sheet comes in 7 designs.  www.skiphop.com
• A special thank you to Buy Buy Baby in Cherry Hill, NJ for providing a crib to “model” the Complete Sheet in the segment!
• Baby Glow $19.99 short sleeve; $29.99 long sleeve.  These sleep and body suits alert parents of a rise in baby’s temperature by a change in clothing color.  The fabric technology changes the 100% cotton onesie to white when baby’s temperature rises above 98.6 degrees.  A visual cue is great not only for parents concerned about overheating or fever.  Available in sizes newborn through 18 months, and in 3 solid colors and 1 print.  www.babyglowusa.com.
• Guardian Angel Safety Outlet $20.  A revolutionary new approach to protecting little ones from possible shock via electrical outlets, these easy to install plates have no small pieces to lose or choke on and offer continuous access to power.  They use sensor technology (like smartphones) to turn the power off before an accident can happen and ensure 100% shockproof protection.  Available Jan 2012. www.guardianangelsafety.com
• Dapple products are already a green family staple because they have “0% toxins and 100% cleaning power!”  Two additions to their line:  Dapple Pacifier Wipes $2.99/ box of 10.  These are the only preservative-free all-natural pacifier wipe on the market and are individually wrapped for easy cleaning on-the-go.  Dapple dishwashing detergent, Autogel $5.99, removes milk film and eliminates odors from bottle parts and sippy cups and is more than capable of cleaning all household dishes as well!  www.dapplebaby.com
• Britax Travel Cart. $74.99.  The Travel Cart is a convenient way to transport a child’s car seat during travel.  It fits all Britax convertible car seats and harnessed booster seats and most other brands.  The seat secures quickly and easily to the cart using the seat’s LATCH connectors.  The steel frame is strong enough to carry the child as well, and the Cart folds compactly to stow in most airplane overhead compartments.  www.britaxusa.com

Monkey Swimmers from Monkey’s Inc.
Remember the inflatable swim floaties of our childhood? Monkey Swimmers are the modern answer to the old school swim system. These soft foam adjustable arm bands wont slip or tug on skin, and because of their slim design, are super comfortable, not pushing kids arms out in an unnatural arc. What also makes the design unique, is that as your child gains confidence in the water using Monkey Swimmers, you can remove one layer at a time to reduce buoyancy. Your child is able to enjoy the water and at progress at their own pace.  They come with a book to introduce the Monkey Swimmers and get your kids excited about swimming and using them, as well as a progress chart.
Currently available at www.monkeyswimmers.com for $32. They will soon be available at Amazon.com.

Joovy Tricycoo
There are a lot of different skills involved in riding a trike and sometime trying to tackle them all at once can be frustrating. The Joovy Tricycoo allows little ones to get comfortable with the balance and coordination it takes to master a trike one step at a time. Starting with the parent push handle and using the “baby surround arms” and stationary foot rests, parents can control movement and direction of the Tricycoo, allowing the toddler to safely enjoy the ride! When the child is ready, the foot rests can be folded away, allowing the child to rest their feel on the pedals. The pedals can be set to freely move, so your child can get used to the movement without having to power them. With the parent still in control of the push bar, the child is able to master this stage before locking the wheels and focusing on how to power the bike themselves. Once the “baby surround arms and parent bar are removed, the Tricycoo functions as a normal trike. It has four positions and is adjustable 32.5 to 38 inches. The steel frame supports up to 44 lbs and the wheels roll quietly. The bell and basket make the bike that much more fun! $99.99 www.joovy.com

SKUUT™ Wooden Balance Bike

Balance bikes are becoming very popular because they allow kids to more organically learn balance, steering and coordination without pedals or training wheels in the way. The Skuut (pronounced “scoot”) is a wooden balance bike for kids agest 2 to 5 and up to 75lbs. Children kick off the ground as if running, pushing- or “skuuting”- the bike forward. The design allows the child to feel successful and enjoy the ride, without fear of falling or pressure to coordinate many the many skills it takes to ride a traditional bike all at once. Focusing on fun and learning almost by accident is always a winner in our book! The Skuut’s lowest seat setting is 13 inches, the highest is 16.5 inches. Made of 100% Birchwood and coated with non-toxic lacquer, it has 12 inch rubber pressurized tires and an easy to clean vinyl padded seat. Skuut™ has won numerous awards, including The Oppenheim Gold Seal Award, Dr. Toy’s 10 Best Active Products,

The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, Creative Toy Top Toy of the Year Award, The Toy Man Award of Excellence, and education.com A+ Award. www.skuut.com $74 on www.amazon.com Also available at REI.com.

Fun Fort!

I saw the Fun Fort at the Toy Fair in NYC this year and loved it! It’s a very simple design, but has infinite possibilities for play. It’s an 8×8 piece of tent-like material with Velcro and elastic loops that allow it to attach to anything stable. No more dragging blankets around the house! For use inside or out, The Fun Fort can look different every time you build it. It’s durable, washable and highly portable! This is another toy that kids can play with for years- from peek-a-boo with a toddler to a secret hide-out or reading corner for big kids, forts never get old! $39.95 www.thehappykidcompany.com
