Baby mania

Got a baby shower to go to? Here are some of my favorite gifts for the mom-to-be:

The New Parents Fun Book - $12
On Duty/Off Duty pillowcases $32
The Wheel of Responsibility + Parental Pointers $25
Baby-Gami - the art of wrapping a baby - $14

Of course I pair the funny gifts with something useful like onesies, socks, and nursing pads (best gift I ever got!).

Lampasaurus Rex!

If you've got a dinosaur enthusiast in your house (kid or husband!), this dinosaur lamp kit is the perfect gift. At just under $20, it'll keep 'em busy for hours and not bust your budget.

My new favorite gift

I love FlipClips.com. For merely $20, you can upload a 1 minute video and have it turned into 4 full-color flipbooks with envelopes that you can send to all the relatives. Your baby's first steps. Your kid's first home run. You're daughter walking down the aisle at her wedding. Such a unique gift!

You're Kid: A Famous Author!

If you're kid has a creative writing and/or drawing streak, immortalize it with a hardcover book for under $20. The company is called Tikatok, and not only can you make it into a book for relatives, but you can also include it in their online catalog for others to buy!

Why would you create another blog?

In a world full of noise and usless information, what's the point of another blog? Probably not to make money. Probably not to get famous. The only reason is to share exciting finds across the interwebs with the people who are constantly opening gifts from me and saying things like "Where you find this stuff? You always give the most unique gifts!"

So the goal here is to do my usual surfing and come across unique gifts and share them with others.
