Cool Umbrella

March 03, 2009 10:56 AM Filed Under: GIFTS Q & A

My ten-year-old daughter is begging me for a "pretty" umbrella but A) I don't want to spend a fortune on one and B) hard to find something between baby ones and ones that would appeal to her.

Did you have a bubble umbrella when you were a kid? Totes has a whole new line of clear ones--some with fancy designs. They're the perfect price point (under $20) and as we're typing this, we're thinking this is a great gift for a tween!
