I love the look of this small Murano vase and at $47.95, it’s quite a good buy.

Murano handblown vase, ‘Ember’

The fiery red glow of this vase is fascinating. It is intense and passionate, and contrasts elegantly with its crystalline finish. The Seguso Family mastermind the illusion as they craft the vase by hand with traditional blown glass techniques inherited from Murano, Italy. The presence of air bubbles accentuates the nature of the traditional hand blown crafting process, making each piece unique. Other designs, sizes and colors are available from the same artists.

I also like the glass star mobile – what a wonderful gift for a baby shower! Also under $50.

Glass mobile, ‘Dancing Stars’

Once that’s over, you’ve got to be thinking what I am at this point.  This is awful.  This is a pain.  This is annoying.  And most of all – I do not want to do this again.  Ever.  I want to buy toys that I know are safe so I don’t need to worry.  Wondering how to do that?  Check this out.  I’ve always been a fan of  eBeanStalk.com. Each one of their developmental toys is hand selected by experts to nurture intellectual growth and inspire creativity in newborns, toddlers and children up to about 5 or 6.  And here’s one more reason to be a fan. NOT ONE TOY ON THEIR SITE WAS INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL! And even better: THEY’VE LEAD TESTED EVERY SINGLE TOY THEY SELL JUST TO BE SURE. Now if that’s not enough to inspire confidence, I don’t know what is. I’m completely impressed with eBeanStalk.com and I know you will be too.

Thought you’d want to know.

These are the kind of things that are sure to become heirlooms to be cherished and passed on the future generations – everything a baby gift should be. Excellent value with prices starting at under $20 for small pull toys, puzzles and trucks. Seating, riding toys, and other small pieces of furniture start at under $50, with lots of options under $60. A completely stocked large wooden kitchen play center and other ‘major’ play centers top out at about $300. And from there, the sky’s the limit with huge custom play lofts (like an indoor play ground) available for several thousand dollars.  

Check out their innovative kitchen safety solution for toddlers. No more step ladders or standing on a chair. The Learning Tower allows your child to safely explore the world above.

If you can’t bring yourself to send a gift card or you really want a gift that can be openend are remembered as coming from you, I suggest you go for the classic denim pieces. The simple signature jean jacket does not go on sale quite as frequently and every cool baby needs one!
