Benjamin the Frog is even sweeter in person. Organic toys have been gaining popularity faster than I think most people expected and miYim has been there all along making truly special toys with a real emphasis on quality. It is obvious that they care not only about the final product but also for each step it takes to make it. If you have a friend expecting a baby soon and you have recently found yourself thrust into the world of baby toys (that was me 2 years ago), you can't go wrong with a toy from miYim Organic. - Stephanie S.

I'm so impressed with this line of products I've been telling all my friends about it.

Melissa & Doug amaze me again. I've been looking everywhere for a well made, sturdy doll house and I finally found it with old favs Melissa & Doug. This house is similar to the Ryan's Room house, but way more affordable and it comes with everything you need to get started right away. It's also big enough that more than one child can play with the house at one time; which is great if you have more than one kid or you have a little visitor. - Stephanie R

If you can get past the idea that the guy in the photo looks like he has stolen that baby, this is actually an amazing sling. The Maya Wrap has been around for a long time and known for being comfortable and finally the masses are catching on. The fabric on this sling is long enough that it can also be used as a nursing cover. You don't have to choose a hippie, patchouli looking pattern. Modern, solid colors are available. This is also the best price I've seen anywhere. - Stephanie R

"Rebel is easy for the child to handle. The edge of the plate is concave, and easily catches spilt food, and this form recurs in the handle of both spoon and mug creating a coherent and ergonomic expression. The handle makes it easy for the child to hold the mug stable, and the top is rounded, making it easy to drink, while its broad bottom keeps it stable."

This would be a great "new big sister" gift if you are expecting a new baby. - Stephanie R

Much to our delight, photographer Gina Garan, of This is Blythe fame, has designed ginagirls, the latest dolls for the hippest collectors, in collaboration with the well-known Australian artist Christina Gordon.

The first all plush fashion dolls in doll history, ginagirls are reminiscent of 1960s paper dolls, and children painted by the 60's big-eye artist known as Lee. Notable for their mod 60's-influenced clothing, ambivalent expressions, and stylish hairdos, ginagirls would not be out of place next to other legendary fashion dolls such as AltaModa Furga, Twiggy, and of course Blythe.

Each ginagirl doll is 10" tall and initially produced as part of a limited edition of 500. For the discerning teenage and adult collector. Recommended for ages 15 and older.

I'm so in love with this little felt deer, but it is only a one of a kind. Someone better hurry up and buy this. It's so sweet; I'm amazed by the talent and craftsmanship of this precious little fawn. -Stephanie

Los Angeles based artist Chika constructs these intricately detailed felt animals entirely by hand, and she does so with blanket stitches that are so teeny tiny you'll need a magnifying glass. Details are appliquéd and embroidered including french knot pupils and eyelashes. So as the gift giving adult you need to know that these diminutive creatures fall more into the fine art category than a toy - they are delicate and should be handled gently. Make them part of a special quiet time, allowing them to come down from the shelf to join in interactive storytelling. These will become childhood momentos that will be treasured into adulthood. (How's that for schmaltzy!)
