Gifts For All Ages

Think Geek! Those two words pretty much sum up a fantastic company that sells a wide variety of product for all ages.

One of my daughter's favorites from Think Geek are the Smencils. What are Smencils? Well, they are earth friendly colored pencils that smell heavenly. From Cotton Candy to Black Cherry, you are sure to find a flavor that make your taste buds go wild.

Each Smencil is made from 100 % recycled newspaper. Plus the freshness tube that they come in are biodegradable. Wow! Practical, delicious, and earth friendly. I would say that is the perfect colored pencil right there! You can kiss your old colored pencils right out the door because one sniff of these babies, and you will not want to put them down!

Another great product from Think Geek is the Illuminated JetBib. This product is genius! LED lights inside of the bib flash on the sides of the picture runway, making this bib fun and entertaining. I just love the airplane spoon that comes with the bib! It looks like a real plane, and it has flashing lights on the wings of the plane too. With bright colors and flashing lights, your little one is sure to love feeding time with this product!

Not only does the Illuminated JetBib get your child to focus while eating, but once your child is done eating, they can play with the airplane. Practical, fun, and eco-friendly!

Think Geek has such wonderful products for everyone. Be sure to check them out at www.thinkgeek.com. It's not too late to stock up on Holiday gifts and stocking stuffers!

Plastic Bags As Baby Bibs?

Get ready for this...

You know how grocery stores, clothing stores, and basically any store will put your purchases into plastic bags? Or almost everything that we buy comes in plastic bags like bread and chips? Well, not only is that very wasteful, but it is also horrible for our environment seeing as plastic bags kill thousands of animals every year!

A company called The Pretty Bean came up a with a useful way to take plastic bags, and turn them into a brilliant product - a fused plastic baby bib! This is such a creative and fun idea. Who would have ever thought to take unwanted plastic, and turn it into something that every parent needs for baby's feeding time.

I love these bibs by The Pretty Bean because......

1. They are easy to clean and waterproof. All you have to do is take a wet hand towel and wipe it down. Simple as one, two, three!

2. They are generously portioned. When I put one of these bibs on my daughter, it actually covered her entire outfit; therefore, saving her outfits from food and juice stains.

3. They are reversible. It's like two bibs in one!

4. They are eco-friendly.

5. They are sturdy which means that they will last a long time.

6. They have velcro closures. I know with my little girl, she is always moving; therefore, anything that is easy to close like velcro automatically becomes number one in my books!

7. Best of all, they are very inexpensive, meaning you can stock up on them for your family, your friends, baby showers, co-workers, etc.

I definitely recommend The Pretty Bean's plastic baby bibs to anyone and everyone with a child. What better way to save our planet as well as your child's clothing? Check it out for yourself at www.mandolyn.etsy.com.
