Petite Picasso Books

I love the idea behind Petite Picasso Books — a great way to preserve some of your children’s best art work.  You can make books for yourself, grandparents, dad or as a surprise for your child.  Check out the fun t-shirts with art and the original art of your child’s “knuffle bunny” or other favorite stuffed animal!

Love this Life

The Love this Life tees have a great message and are favorites of my husband.  They are simple and comfortable, yet make a statement.

Gift Idea: For the husband, friend or dad in your life. 

They also have fun tank tops for women and tees for kids!

FlipClip

After you get your new video camera (see post below), a great gift is a Flip book – from flipclips.  Turn a 30 second video into a great gift – a flip book.  My husband and son made one for me in which he slowly holds up a sign — word by word — that says I Love You Mom — very cute !  (only $8.99!)

Be creative !  I’d love to hear what you come up with ! 

Gift Idea – very cute gift as a stocking stuffer for Mom or Dad or a gift for the grandparents!

The Flip Video Camera

This is my current favorite gadget in all the world — the flip video camera ! I have the Flip Ultra and can carry it everywhere. It takes great videos and is easy to upload on youtube. So great! ( It is cheaper at Amazon than on the Flip Video site, so get it there if you can!) Gift Idea: Great for Dads, moms - anyone with kids (or kids who want to make their own movies!)

Here’s a little video I took of my son singing to his Nana — Happy Birthday, Mom! (I do need to learn how to edit . .)

Scribble Press

One of my new favorite gifts to give are the “Make Your Own Books”  from Scribble Press.   Scribble Press is a “place to write, illustrate and publish original books.”   Each book prompts you with cues and blanks on each page to create your story. They are very simple, but they give the child a real sense of pride in making their own book.  

My son makes his own books with regular paper stapled together all the time, but he LOVES making these books even more! We purchased one for Father’s Day and my son created a wonderful book for his Dad.  And, of course we had to purchase the “if i were a superhero” book.   

I also love the idea of the “when i was your age” book.  It will be my turn to have a little fun.
