Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift for Your Husband or Wife

I keep coming across these great t-shirts from Union 28.  They have these new designs that would be perfect to give for Valentine’s Day!  Wear a “My Husband Rocks” T-shirt and let him and everyone else know how great he is! I really like the “My Wife Rocks” version as well.  There are other designs available on their website too.  They start at $17 and right now you can use code: U28valentine for $5 off 2 or more regular-priced items.  So you can get these two shirts for under $30 (plus shipping).

Themed Gifts: Ladybugs!

Do you have a “Little Ladybug” in your house or know someone who has taken a liking to ladybugs?  My 4th daughter is our “Little Ladybug.”  It started because we didn’t know if she would be a boy or girl and I was set on a bug theme for the nursery. So I decided to go with the theme and if I happened to have a girl I would add more red and more ladybugs.   It ended up being very cute and she now loves anything with ladybugs on it.  I know ladybugs are popular and thought I would list some of our favorite ladybug gift items.

Manhattan Toy has this adorable dress up outfit for their Stella doll
Land of Nod has this cute ladybug backpack from Beatrix.  Beatrix also makes matching lunchboxes and larger luggage with this and other kid friendly designs.

Ladybug GirlThe Grouchy LadybugLittle Ladybug: Finger Puppet Book (Finger Puppet Brd Bks)Ten Little Ladybugs

 These are our favorite ladybug books.  
Crocodile Creek makes this great heavy duty, textured ball for outside or inside play.

Stephen Joseph makes some adorable kid products in all different themes.  I happen to really like this ladybug Snack Sack.  Check out their whole line of ladybug items.

Lana Ladybug from Manhattan Toy Company is ladybuged out all the way to her red and black hair.

 
 Since Sassy Baby has a ladybug as their logo you know that they are going to have some cute ladybug items in their lines.  These teethers and this bib are just a few of the ladybug themed items that they offer.

This game is a lot of fun.  My younger kids love to play it together.
This little ladybug necklace and case are very cute.  My daughter got these one year and really loved both the necklace and the case. 

I keep seeing these Pillow Pets everywhere.  Apparently they are quite popular.  The Ladybug one is especially cute.

 

Boon Makes this really cute ladybug bath caddy and it comes in either red or pink and black.
Bananafish has this cute ladybug themed bedding set.  You can also get the individual pieces like the blanket, mobile, valance, and more. (BTW- Bananafish some adorable baby bedding designs.  Check them out here.)
We do not own one of these Wheely Bugs by Prince Lionheart but I think they are quite adorable and know my little one would love to scoot around on this.  
Western Chief has ladybug rain gear that is pretty cute.
and so does Kidorable.  Kidorable has this cute raincoat and boots.
That is all for now.  If you know of others that you like I would love to hear about them!

Dunstan Baby DVD Giveaway!

Dunstan Baby Language has given me another DVD Program to give away! In case you missed it you can read my opinion of the Dunstan Baby Language program here.  If you are a mom (or dad) who is expecting or who has a new baby then this DVD will be so helpful to you!  Australian mother Priscilla Dunstan discovered that babies tend to make common sounds in their cries for specific things.  It is a bit surprising but also revolutionary.  After watching you will be able to identify the sounds of a hungry, tired, gassy, or uncomfortable baby and respond correctly to that need.  Sounds great doesn’t it?  Would you like to win a copy?  Here is your chance.

Dunstan Baby Language has graciously provided a DVD Program: One (0-3 months) for me to giveaway.  If you would like to purchase one you can visit DunstanBaby.com or Amazon.com.
