Sit-on Animal: HearthSong is a great company offering some really fantastic toys for kids.  Once Liam is older, he'll definitely be getting a set of Connectagons!  This drawing is for something that should definitely catch the attention of the little ones- a large sit-on animal!  I'm personally partial to the pinto!  (You can choose from the pinto, brown horse, donkey and elephant!)


RCA Small Wonder EZ207 Video Camera: Yep!  Another big one!  An RCA video camera!  For someone like me who never bothered to get a video camera but frequently wonders if we should have, this would be great!  It's small, compact and can capture up to 8hrs of video on an SD card!


The Gift for the Inuksuk: Sleeping Bear Press gives away quite a few books at MommyPR.  I've been lucky enough to win a few and I think they're all definitely worth having.  While it'll be another year or two before I let Liam at them on his own, I've been happy to share them with him already.  This one is a fictional tale describing the "relationship between the stone figures (Inuksuk) and the Inuit people."


Flying Airplane Kit: Brooklyn 5 and 10 is giving someone one of their Artful Flyer kits.  Given that they have some really nice throwback types of toys, this looks like a real winner and something that could be safely thrown IN the house to boot!

Customized Binder: Avery and Zazzle have teamed up to create binders completely customized to the purchaser's needs.  I'd LOVE to use these to get my craft and office area cleaned up and looking coordinated!



$25 to Hallmark: Did you know Hallmark now has digital scrapbooks?  Personalizable cards?  Recordable books?!  Such an amazing extension to their lineup!
