More Etsy Items For Those Upcoming Kid Gifting Needs

I love plush animals that are a little on the weird side. Weird plush animals? I love strange stuffed beasts.

First up, another octopus / squid related item that any budding scientist will love… regardless whether they know what science is or not. Spencer the Squid is a great first step towards that epic job at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Frankly you might as well complete the set with Ollie the Octopus, Winston the Whale and Gertrude the Goldfish

Changing topics a bit you may want to reinforce the importance of a complete breakfast by introducing Bacon and Eggs into the mix.

Last but not least… for some reasons the plush stripes got me with this one. Petrie the sock Zebra looks nothing like a zebra, in fact he reminds me more of Eeyore the donkey from Winnie-the-Pooh.

What’s Harder Than Buying A Gift For A New Baby?

Fun twins, triplets clothing. Bacon and eggs, salt and pepper... you get the idea

Buying a gift for two new babies… especially if they’re twins.
Close friends of mine welcomed identical twin daughters into the world just a couple weeks ago and I have to admit that I have yet to find the perfect gift to send them. Correction, I HAD yet to find the perfect gift to send them. For anyone out there looking for an offering for twins (identical or otherwise) I suggest you read on below.

WryBaby.com
Ok, this company doesn’t ship to Canada right now, but it does sell its goods through a number of Canadian vendors so if you’re interested they’re still worth a shot. Of particular interest are the “First Born / Runner Up” snapsuits and the “Stop Copying Me / Stop Copying Me” snapsuit bundles. $39.00 isn’t bad… at least I don’t think its bad… but what do I know, I don’t have twins. The real challenge will be having to decide this early in their lives which one will be the First Place child and which will come in a distant Second ;)

I almost lost the URL to this site so consider yourselves lucky. This one’s got a ton of twins-related stuff at pretty much the same price as WryBaby.com (just a bit more expensive). Ok, they’ve got the Salt & Pepper Twin Shirts, the Bacon & Egg Twin Shirts (perfect for vegetarians / vegans), the Milk & Cookies Twins Shirts, A Little Bit Country / A Little Bit Rock & Roll… heck, they’ve even got a set for triplets (divine entity forbid you should be blessed with triplets) over here with Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Ok, that’s it for now. Don’t even pretend I didn’t just save your gift-giving behind with this one :)
