They've Got Mail
It's no secret that mail is cool. I'll bet I'm not the only person who still gets a little flutter of excitement when I come home to see envelopes poking out the top of my mailbox. In fact, I know I'm not the only person because my daughter usually races me to the porch to see what's there. 

I can only imagine, then, the fun she would have with the new Letters to Grandma and Grandpa Mail Set which can be found at one of CMP's favorite gift shops, What Every Baby Needs. This adorable wool felt set is an adaptation of the original Let's Play Mail Set. It comes with an old-school mailbox (I guess these days pretty much everything about mail is old-school), letters, stamps and messages that stick to each other with little velcro tabs. 
The grandparent theme is such a sweet way for children to feel connected to relatives who may be far away. What a wonderful present for grandparents to give to their grandchildren this holiday season. My son would have the fun of learning to read the little messages and creating special mail for his grandparents. And my daughter would have the fun of... well, mail.   -Stephanie
