The beautiful new collection of modern cards, announcements and invitations from Paper Culture have me as excited as any note cards we've seen in a while. And we see a whole lot of note cards so that's saying something. The baby announce…
My kids like to leave me little bits of art on my desk, which is very sweet the first fifty times they do it. But with this awesome Doodlebook Frame I can put my favorite picture of them front and center, and then encourage them to make …
Since my daughter started preschool this year, I have learned that I should always have a permanent marker handy for labeling everything she brings with her, a process that leaves something to be desired, especially when you factor in th…

There are lots of cute birthday invites out there--heck, we feature tons of them right her--but we have not seen anything quite like the custom comic book invitations from Egba Originals . The company will create an entire comic book sta…
Why give a goodie bag full of useless plastic toys that will break five minutes after you give them out, when for the same price you could give each party attendee three sheets of personalized stickers that go with your party's theme? At…
Holy weepy grandmother - I just discovered the personalized plates from Aedriel Dixon's etsy shop and if that's not going to have Nana or Bubbie or Gamma flying through the Kleenex Designer Florals on Mother's Day then I don't know what …
This city mom has a dream, and it includes a second bathroom, a third bedroom, and some actual outdoor space that isn't owned by the city parks department. If I were to magically come across this dream townhouse (which also should, by th…
I realize that baby showers are about celebrating the impending arrival, but it's also about giving the expectant mom some props as well, right? That's why I'm loving the Sweet Dreams Boy baby shower invitations from mom-owned Pretty Pri…
Maybe you're in the mood to daydream, or maybe you've had your near-limitless wealth stuffed in your mattress all this time (in which case: Hi! I'm available for adoption!), but either way, if you want to let your most fanciful kid decor…
Every woman needs to one one perfect, crisp button-up shirt . And by perfect I mean it fits at the shoulders, the collar isn't better suited to the Ringling Bros. wardrobe department, and your chest isn't busting the buttons every time y…
Considering all the amazing babies' and kids' toys we've discovered this year at Cool Mom Picks, narrowing down our list of favorite toys and dolls is like picking amongst our children. That said... Liz: There's no cuter doll than the on…
Since my sweet third child will most likely be relegated to a life of shared toys and hand-me-down clothes, it's always nice when someone sends her a personalized gift that makes it 100% clear that it was meant for her and her alone. So …

Shameless holiday card procrastinator #87146B here, hanging head low and admitting that I have not yet picked out our family's holiday cards. Most likely we'll do what I generally do, which is send out New Year's cards instead. But for y…
Sometimes the gift of nothing is the best gift of all. I flipped when I saw these Blank Board Books at Romp , because they give kids a blank canvas in which to make their very own literary masterpieces. The square books are made of six d…
It's not that I don't go "awwww" just a little bit over the beautiful hand-cut ceramic dove ornament with a customizable message from Paloma's Nest--it's that mentally I'm sometimes still about nine or ten and imagine all the hilarious w…
