These containers are so beautiful I won't mind having all of her things out in the open at toddler's reach. I may have to steal a few for my kitchen counter. - Stephanie R

$14.99

Buy it here.

This is the best thing I've ever put in my diaper bag. I never leave home without the phone or a set of keys. After my last cell phone filled up with apple juice and goldfish crumbles, it was time to search for a phone just for Lily. This was a great find and she was thrilled. The buttons actually make a real sound when you push them in and there is a button on the side that will record your voice. The keys are real metal and the buttons make the "beep beep" sound just like a car setting the alarm. It also has a tiny light that is a lot of fun for babies. This is just the right easy no-brainer first birthday gift for any child on your list. They're sure to love it. Stephanie R

Panasonic Shoe Box Tape Recorder

taperecorder.jpg

$24.95

Buy it here.

When my brother and I were very little (probably 3 and 5), my mom had us make recordings to send to our grandparents. We told jokes that we had made up, recited our own renditions of our favorite stories and songs and giggled and generally hammed it up. We loved being "on stage". We felt like we were making something important and to our grandparents I'm sure we were. Technology passed up shoe box tape recorders long ago, but I don't think there is a better way out there for kids to make there own simple recordings. The buttons are large and easy to use and kids can immediately hear their own silly nervous voices. It's a fun (and inexpensive) way to spend a rainy afternoon and the tapes will be treasured for years. - Stephanie S.

Red Ball Rocking Horse

$220.00

Buy it here.

The price may seem steep for a child's rocker, but this is one of the few items marketed as "heirloom quality" that I think will really live up to its name. - Stephanie S.

"During our travels in the last few years, we have come across compelling modern items no longer in production. The Red Ball Rocking Horse originated from a design by Gloria Caranica entitled Rocking Beauty (1965), now in the public domain. A quintessential example of mid-century design, we believe it deserves to be brought back to the marketplace. This classic is made of two planes of intersecting bent ply connected by a stationary joy stick and topped expressively by a red wooden ball. Long after the kids have outgrown it, the Rocker will retain pride of place.

"A percentage of sales from the Red Ball Rocking Horse will support design education through a contribution to the AIGA scholarship fund."
