In Our Minds, The Best Kind Of Gift Is Something You Wouldn't Necessarily Buy For Yourself.

In our minds, the best kind of gift is something you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself. You won't find anything on our list from the standard-issue Buy Buy Baby layette list....not that there's anything wrong with that!


For Your Biker Baby


A Harley Rocker---it's no wooden pony. Been there, done that.


For Your Banker Baby


A Jonathan Adler piggy bank. We like the platinum and gold piggies best but the blue and pink ceramic elephants are pretty cute, too.


For Your Gangsta Baby


Retro Baby has a whole slew of crazy, funny onesies for the baby from da block.


For Your Well Read Baby


Jeanine Payer engraves happy prose on beautiful sterling keepsakes. We especially love the precious velvet ribbon and silver bracelets.


For Your Jammin' Baby


Who can really stand those sweet lullabies, they make us sleepy. Give a collection of lullaby renditions of The Stones, Bob Marley, U2, or The Ramones.


For Your Chilly Baby


Since it's not "PC" to use a blanket anymore, these stylish "sleep saks" are a must to keep baby warm.


For Your Politico Baby


It's never too early to choose sides. Left wing, right wing...these are a great ice breaker at Mommy and Me class.


For Your Delinquent Baby


A graffiti blankie might just stop a future "artist" from tagging the walls of the nursery. Check out the matching diaper bag if you want to splurge.


For Your Hungry Baby


We all have those Ikea plastic bowls and plates....but they aren't really gift-worthy. French Bull melamine dinner sets look way cooler than Spiderman or Dora on the table..


For Your Cry Baby


From Billy Bob to bling, these binkies are freakin' funny. After the jump, scroll past the Hooter Hiders (don't ask).


Just please don't ask us for any shower game suggestions. We don't play nice.


---Cheers! A & H

tip o’ the week: Super Easy Mac 'n Cheese

April 27, 2009 4:46 AM Filed Under: RECIPES TIP O' THE WEEK

Last year Hilary bought Alyssa's daughter a cookbook and Annabelle has spent the better part of the year perfecting the cookbook's macaroni and cheese recipe. Here's her version--the first one the children like that doesn't come out of a box and doesn't involve some sort of flourescent orange substance. The topping is our own special addition...but be forewarned: you won't be able to stop at one bite!
