Pink Polka Dot Play Canopy from The Land of Nod

Kids Canopy: Pink Polka Dot Play Circus Tent - Pink Polka Dot Play Canopy

Sometimes I see things that desperately make me wish I could go back in time, or wish I had a little one of my own. When I spotted this Pink Polka Dot Play Canopy at The Land of Nod I desperately wished for either of those options to be true. (Although, perhaps the latter would be better because then I, too, could play in it. You’re never too old for fun!)

I don’t think this Pink Polka Dot Play Canopy needs much by way of introduction or reasoning. It’s inspiring my imagination and I’m nowhere near its intended age demographic. (Other colors/patterns are available if pink polka dots aren’t your thing.)

Smart Baby Monitor from Withings

Smart Baby Monitor

Now I don’t have children and the number of babies I know can be counted on one hand, so you’ll have to forgive me if I sound terribly naive here, but when I saw this Smart Baby Monitor from Withings I immediately thought “I have to have that (if I ever have children of my own).” It’s so cool that I asked my husband if we could get one so we could watch and communicate with our dogs during the day. (Does that make me a crazy dog person??)

This Smart Baby Monitor works with your iPhone or Android. If baby starts crying, you can attempt to soothe them over the phone, regardless of your location. You could be across the country and watching and talking to your baby via the monitor. If talking isn’t enough, you can activate one of 7 lullabies to play. You can turn on a soft glow. You can monitor the temperature and humidity in the baby’s room. The monitor has an infrared camera, so when the lights go off you can still watch your baby. Even if you close the app it continues running in the background so you can hear if the baby starts stirring.

I suppose the only thing the Smart Baby Monitor doesn’t do is change the baby’s diapers in the middle of the night.

Juicy Couture Metallic Gold Loafers

Juicy Couture Metallic Gold Loafer for Baby

If I had a child, there’s no doubt they’d be sporting these Juicy Couture Metallic Gold Loafers. Hello, cuteness!

I’ve got a thing about splurging on designer shoes for littles that can’t yet walk, but the price on these is just right at the moment. Originally $58, they’re now on sale for $49.99. Through January 30, 2013 they are marked down an EXTRA 50%, making them just $25. Fab deal. Fab shoes.

Juicy Couture • $25

Special Delivery Pizza Baby Gift Set

Don’t shoot the messenger – the messenger being me – but sometimes gifts for new moms or moms-to-be can be so… cliche.  Gifts are covered in dogs and cats and frogs and ducks and cupcakes and come in one of four colors: blue, pink, green, or yellow.  Say it with me: B-O-R-I-N-G.  Should I ever be blessed with any rascals I hope my friends and family remember that a smile can be brought to my face with more offbeat items, like this Special Delivery Pizza Baby Gift Set.  Forget giving someone a cake filled with diapers and give them booties, bibs, and other goodies that are in the shape of a pizza.  You’ll bring a smile to the new mom’s face, though you might also bum her out a bit that you haven’t brought her a real pizza.  {Maybe you should give her one of those, too?}
