... Or best gift for the kids who won't stop drawing on the walls. Why fight it? It you can't beat 'em, join 'em? Whatever the case is, the Chalkals wall graphics by Estela Lugo are a great gift for all kids big + little.
Chalkals? Chalkals wall graphics are like giant stickers you can stick to your wall that have a chalkboard finish and made of vinyl. Available in 8 cheeky designs, my pick would be the newly released set of Mushrooms. Funky fun.

Okay, so maybe your 3 year old does not have to be an art-snob to think the alphabet card set by Ida Pearle is crazy cool. Gifting the child with a bit of art with an injection of ABCs is a good idea. Artist Ida Pearle's intuitive talent depicts children interacting with the alphabet :: (B) bouncing a ball (T) playing with a train and (L) licking a lollipop.
The ABC set includes 26 cards that would very thoughtfully fill up that big blank wall in the playroom for only $44.
Nice.

What to get a baby with chubby legs? While insanely cute + cuddly, the baby with chubby legs is sometimes hard to shop for. What will fit? Will it look cute? Will it fit?? Next to letting the chunky thighs go naked in all their glory, the organic Yoga Pants by Speesees are absolutely the best pant for the chubby baby leg.
It is not so much the width of the leg (as Speesees size runs parallel to other brands) as it is the cut of the pant that flatters the chubby baby leg. The slight flair on the bottom of the pant as well as the roomy rump provide the chubby baby with style and comfort. Made of a heavier organic cotton interlock that does not hike up or get stretched out.
So, skinny babies would look cute in the organic Yoga Pants too, though, I would not know. I have a chubby baby. And no, that is not my baby in the image above. Owen is much, much chubbier.
Complete the gift with this onesie by Little Lark.

The Avenue consists of 2 shapes (square and a curvy peice) and in 2 fabric designs: a squiggly "parc" and a grid-like "avenue" (get it?). And in usual Fatboy fashion, the Avenue Collection is available in a range of lovely colors!
Happy Friday.
1+1=3. Oh Chicks! We've got a sale! Purchase 2 original Cici Art Factory "Lotsa" paintings + get 1 free! In case your math is bad, that is 3 for the price of 2! And free shipping, so click here. In the meantime.... A new Notes feature "in my own words", kicked off by Liz.
:: in my own words :: Liz Clay of Cici Art Factory ::
1. I'm Liz Clay and I've always loved making art. One of my first art-making memories is in grade 1. I painted the most beautiful picture of Jesus hanging on the cross - which was completely copied from the girl across from me.
2. I've got a degree in International Business and another one in Visual Arts from Emily Carr in Vancouver. Upon graduating in 2002, I had several solo shows with representation from onepointsix gallery.
3. I spent three years working overseas in Singapore for a design company - highlights include tweaking 'Mr. Clean' so that he wasn't quite so white and old-looking.
4. I started Cici Art Factory a little over two years ago. 'Cici' is what my oldest daughter called her milk bottle. I did a little sketch of what lots of milk bottles would look like coming off a factory line and the first lotsa painting (organized milk) was born. I enjoy the repetition and quirkiness of the hand-drawn lines and loosely filled in paint. I try and make the paint as thick and chunky as possible to give the animals or bottles dimension.
5. I have three girls, the oldest is almost 4 and the youngest is 7 months and they help me with my art. They help package it up when I need to mail it out and give me pointers on what they like and don't like.
6. Coming in 2009? Lotsa snails and lotsa ladybugs. I'd also like to work on a series of really large paintings for kids rooms - paintings that take up a whole wall. I'm playing around with a series of trees where the seasons are ambiguous.
Thanks Liz!
A lovely little resting spot for your babe, the Svan Bouncer :: now in a brand new model with a few extra features. In addition to a few new colorways (and that gorgeous balloons Baby Star fabric!) the new Svan Bouncer has a recline that lays almost flat and has velcro instead of a snap enclosure. And see that bent wood? That allows the bouncer to gently bounce with the tap of your foot.
You know what else? The original model is on sale!

For the happiest Monday -- 2 new products from Dress Me Up: an Organic Cotton Cloth Ball + an Organic Cotton Burp Cloth Set.
Organic Cloth Ball is printed in their own signature fabric, using water-based, non-toxic inks. We have one. I think the baby thinks it's cool and my toddler thinks it's fun to throw (aahh! not at the baby!) because it's so soft + doesn't hurt. And the baby laughs!
My first son, as a baby was not a drooler or a spitter. My baby son, however is both. This organic burp cloth set (sold separately from the blanket + burp set) is by special request as I totally love these burp cloths, using them daily.
Happy happy organic cotton. Good for the babies.
