<p><em>Included in these Pocoyo bath toys are; three, 2.5&#8243; figures, including Pocoyo, Elly, and Pato, designed after the vibrant characters from the show. Pocoyo and Elly squirt water, while Pato floats, and the 2.5-inch figures of Pocoyo, Elly, and Pato all have a special water, squirting chamber. A great way to make bath time fun!</em></p>
<p>My girls love playing in the bath so whenever we find some new fun toys for them, I know getting them into the bath won&#8217;t be a problem!  That&#8217;s what happened when these Pocoyo bath toys arrived at our door.  They immediately wanted to take a bath.  They loved squirting each other with Pocoyo and Elly.  In the summer time we like to take bath toys like this outside and play with them in the water table.  Instant squirt guns without buying a gun.</p>
<p>My 6 year old enjoys these types of bath toys as much as my 3 year old.  So they aren&#8217;t just for babies!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.kouponkaren.com/HolidayGiftGuide/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Winter-Bunch.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2601" title="Winter Bunch" src="http://www.kouponkaren.com/HolidayGiftGuide/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Winter-Bunch.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>Baby its cold outside! Keep warm with the <a href="http://www.babybunch.com/winter_bunch_%280-6m%29.html" target="_blank"><strong>Winter Bunch</strong></a>, a Classic Baby  Bunch filled with snowy white garments designed to keep a baby girl or  boy toasty and warm. The Winter Bunch includes one white bib, one white  long sleeve one-piece, one white hat, one pair of white mitts, one white  long sleeve romper suit, and two pairs of white socks, all gathered  into a festive bouquet of baby clothes. Grandparents, godparents, great  aunts and gracious family members will want to snuggle up with the  Winter Bunch to chase the chills away! All clothing is super-soft snowy  white 100% cotton and generously sized for babies 0-6 months, or up to  16 lbs. The clothing “buds” are embellished with red and green fabric  and wooden rosebuds accented with green fabric leaves; save them to  craft a lasting keepsake bouquet. The Winter Bunch is carefully wrapped  in tissue and placed in a seasonal floral box with a crystal clear  presentation lid, then packed in a sturdy shipping carton for safe  delivery.</p>
<p>Once again I am not disappointed with the Baby Bunches unique gifts for baby.  The Winter Bunch is  perfect for a winter baby, a holiday gift, or just because!  It&#8217;s such a great alternative to giving flowers to a new mom because as pretty as flowers are, new moms don&#8217;t always have time to tend to them so why not get her something useful instead!  The bouquet itself is so pretty I had to take it a part!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-1580" href="http://www.frugalrimama.com/HolidayGiftGuide/ccc-gifts-4-hearts-t-shirt/4-hearts-tshirt/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1580" title="4 hearts tshirt" src="http://www.frugalrimama.com/HolidayGiftGuide/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/4-hearts-tshirt-278x300.jpg" alt="4 hearts tshirt" width="278" height="300" /></a>Product Information:</strong> <a href="http://www.cccgifts.com/" target="_blank">CCC Gifts</a> was named after the owner, Diane&#8217;s late father who was a remarkable business man. Her father loved life, bright colored clothes, times with good friends, and most importantly his family. Although his life was too short, his memory will live on through Diane, her family, and now her company.</p>
<p>CCC Gifts was conceived in 2002, while Diane shopped for gifts for her twelve bridesmaids. As a bride-to-be, she was bombarded with the standard bridesmaid gift selections. Each woman in her bridal party was special so she wanted to give a gift that reflected their friendship. She looked in several stores and online to find gifts that met her needs. Fortunately, for Diane, she could not find appropriate gifts so she  decided to make them.</p>
<p><strong>Purchase Information:</strong> You can purchase this T-Shirt online along with other cute things at <a href="http://www.cccgifts.com" target="_blank">CCC Gifts.com</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Discount</strong>: Save 10% when you use coupon code <strong>Mama</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Price of product:</strong> $28.00</p>
<p><strong>My thoughts: </strong> I received the <a href="http://www.cccgifts.com/fourheartstee.aspx" target="_blank"><strong>Four Hearts long sleeve T-Shirt</strong></a> personalized for my oldest Daughter, Holly.  Diane recommended that I order a size bigger because they run a little small and she was right!  Holly is a 6 and I ordered an 8 and it fit perfectly with a little room to grow.  The shirt is pink with a red circle with &#8220;Holly&#8221; in white and 4 pink hearts above it.  I love it and so does my daughter.   The shirt is made from nice 100% cotton and not too thin, just right!  It also came with instructions to wash in cold water and lay flat to dry.  I think it&#8217;s a great gift for the price especially since it&#8217;s personalized!</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s a really cute shirt and any little girl would love it for Valentine&#8217;s Day. </strong> I&#8217;m going to order a 2nd one for my youngest so they can wear them on Valentine&#8217;s Day.  Check out the entire website because there are a ton of cute gift ideas for Valentine&#8217;s Day for everyone!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-964" href="http://www.kouponkaren.com/HolidayGiftGuide/wallables-3-dimensional-sculpted-wall-decor/newplane-l1/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-964" title="newplane-l(1)" src="http://www.kouponkaren.com/HolidayGiftGuide/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/newplane-l1.jpg" alt="newplane-l(1)" width="312" height="312" /></a>Product Information:</strong> Wallables are 3-dimensional sculpted wall décor products that virtually pop off the wall and are easy to attach to any smooth surface with an easy on, easy off Velcro® patch, allowing the Wallables™ to be removed and repositioned. Wallables are very safe and have passed both the ASTM and CE toy safety standards for all countries. And because they are made out of a lightweight material which is soft and flexible, Wallables can be positioned above cribs or beds.</p>
<p>All Soft Smiles Collection Wallables™come ready to peel and stick, and have a Velcro® backing that makes them re-positionable over and over again.</p>
<p><strong>My thoughts:</strong> I received the Airplane Wallabes for my review.  I was very impressed with how lightweight they were and how squishy.  Perfect for a very curious baby.  They would not only look great on the wall of a baby&#8217;s room or play room, but they come off really easily so they can function as a toy too.  And when you press the wallable soft music plays that is very soothing at night.  Great idea and great gift for a new baby or parent to be.</p>
<p><strong>Purchase Information:</strong> You can purchase them online at <a href="http://www.wallables.com/" target="_blank">Wallables.com</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Price of product:</strong> $7.95 &#8211; $19.99</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-923" href="http://www.kouponkaren.com/HolidayGiftGuide/bestever-baby-mats/giraffe/"><img class="size-full wp-image-923 alignright" title="giraffe" src="http://www.frugalrimama.com/HolidayGiftGuide/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/giraffe.gif" alt="giraffe" width="184" height="240" /></a>Product Information:</strong> It’s not always easy for on-the-go parents to find a clean and cozy place for little ones to catch some ZZZs while traveling or visiting friends and family.   <a href="http://store.shopbestever.com/" target="_blank">BESTEVER’s line of pet-themed Baby Mats</a> creates an instant and portable 31-inch comfort zone for babies and toddlers to snuggle, nap and play while atop the tummy of a plush and cuddly teddy bear, pink cat, giraffe, baby lamb, blue dog, green frog or monkey.  Its non-skid back makes it the ideal floor cushion that won’t slip and slide while baby plays. Great for travel, Baby Mats are machine washable and easily roll up for parents and little ones on the go.</p>
<p><strong>My thoughts:</strong> I received the Giraffe baby mat for review.  Too bad they don&#8217;t make these for adults because I&#8217;d love to curl up on this baby mat and take a nap.  It&#8217;s amazing.  Much better than I expected.  The quaility is amazing.  $50 may seem steap at first for something that baby will nap on but once you see it in person, you know it&#8217;s worth that and more.  This will last through baby after baby and even through toddlerhood.</p>
<p>It folds up nicely for easy travel and really would be perfect for napping at Grandma&#8217;s house.</p>
<p>The material is so soft, the mat has a nice filling to make it very comfortable not to mentioned playful.  This would also be great for baby to have some fun during tummy time.  Baby could play with you and the Giraffe and be pretty entertained.  I absolutely LOVE this mat and my yougest enjoys sitting on it on the hard word floors.  Makes the bottom more comfortable.</p>
<p>A great gift for the new mom or mom to be!</p>
<p><strong>Purchase Information:</strong> Baby Mats are sold at buybuy Baby and specialty gift stores nationwide.  They are also available at bedbathandbeyond.com, QVC, HSN and select retail catalogues. You may order Baby Mats direct from BESTEVER by calling 800-767-3060 or <a href="http://shopbestever.com/" target="_blank">online</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Price of product:</strong> $50.00</p>

When one side gets dirty or wet, simply turn it inside out and you have a whole new burp cloth.  More efficient, super cool, and clean.  Both sides are doubled with absorbent french terry cloth, so it&#8217;s like getting 2 full burp cloths in one</p>
<p><strong>My thoughts:</strong> My 2 year old used to spit up a LOT when she was a baby.  Sometimes her entire bottle.  It wasn&#8217;t fun.  The BabbaBurpie is so absorbent it would of come in really handy then.  It&#8217;s made of fantastic material and I love the different patterns.  It&#8217;s big so it has a lot of coverage and extremely handy to not have to grab another burp cloth, especially when your out.  Great gift for new moms.</p>

Author Jennifer Ormond couldn’t find any books to read to her 18 month old son that would teach him how to give up his beloved binky (pacifier). His two favorite things in the world were reading, and his binky. Her and her husband had heard the horror stories about how difficult it is for a child to give up the binky. There are books out there that tell parents how and when to take the binky away from the child but nothing that helps a child give up this habit on their own. She went to book stores, searched online and found nothing. There are gazillions of books about potty training, new teeth, and bad behavior, but nothing for children about binkys. She was so frustrated that she decided to write a story based on her own experience.</p>
<p>She had the idea of Baby’s Binky Box while walking through an arts and crafts store. She saw these adorable, tiny unfinished cardboard boxes for nineteen cents. She had paint, glue, and sparkle shapes at home and thought this would be a fun craft. Wouldn’t this be great for the binky to have a cozy, box to sleep in? Her son had to have at least three binky’s at bed time, so if he could let one sleep in this very special box that he made, they would be making progress. It worked. It took time and quite a few binky boxes but it worked. One by one her son allowed each binky to sleep in a box that he made in the crib next to him. Her second son loved binkys so much he would take “binky breaks” from playing. The box and the story worked for him also, and much quicker. Her youngest is 18 months and has already read the book millions of times. She is pregnant with number four and plans to use the binky box with that child too.</p>

<p><strong>My thoughts:</strong> This book is great. All the information that you&#8217;d need to log when you have a new baby is in here. When I had my first daughter I used a regular notebook and put in most of the information that this book has but it&#8217;s organized way better than mine was.  I especially love the size, not too small but not too big. This would be a perfect keepsake of the first few months of baby&#8217;s like.  Something nice to look back on, especially if you have another baby and forget everything, which is usually what happens!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-686" href="http://www.kouponkaren.com/HolidayGiftGuide/dandelion-earth-friendly-goods/12211_activity_ball/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-686" title="12211_Activity_Ball" src="http://www.frugalrimama.com/HolidayGiftGuide/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/12211_Activity_Ball-300x203.jpg" alt="12211_Activity_Ball" width="180" height="122" /></a>Product Information:</strong> Dandelion Earth-Friendly Goods make great gifts for those eco-conscious moms and dads.  With Re-Think It’s Dandelion Earth-Friendly Goods, parents can be reassured that the developmental toys, corn-based Re-Usables (plates, bowls, utensils), diaper bags, rattles and teethers they buy for their children are not detrimental to them or to the planet.  The most recent products include the Pink line in which part of the proceeds are donated to breast cancer research and the Organic Cotton Canvas Bag.  The Organic Cotton Canvas Bag makes an ideal gift for friends and family who enjoy looking fashionable no matter where they go.</p>
<p><strong>My thoughts:</strong> I really like organic cotton products and the<a href="http://www.dandelionforbaby.com/Pages/Products/Toys/Main_Teethers.html" target="_blank"> Dandelion I Rattle</a> did not disappoint!  It&#8217;s so soft and just feels so good what baby wouldn&#8217;t love it!  But the best part of it is you can toss the entire toy into the washing machine because the filling is machine washable!  That&#8217;s really important to me, I can&#8217;t imagine what the inside of some stuffed toys looks like when you can&#8217;t toss them in the machine.  That&#8217;s a big plus in my book.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-687" href="http://www.kouponkaren.com/HolidayGiftGuide/dandelion-earth-friendly-goods/dandelion_feeding_set/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-687" title="Dandelion_Feeding_Set" src="http://www.frugalrimama.com/HolidayGiftGuide/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Dandelion_Feeding_Set-300x300.jpg" alt="Dandelion_Feeding_Set" width="180" height="180" /></a>I also received the <a href="http://www.dandelionforbaby.com/Pages/Products/Feeding/Main_Feeding.html" target="_blank">Dandelion Made from Corn ReUsable Forks and Spoons and ReUsable Plates</a>.  The first thing I noticed was the packaging said NO BPA.  That&#8217;s important to me and obviously to the folks who made them because they made it jump out.   The spoons and forks fit perfectly in my 2 year old&#8217;s hand and the food stayed nicely in the plates because they have high sides.  Another thing that&#8217;s important when they are learning to feed themselves.</p>

The DVDs depict fun, live action scenes of real kids and objects from everyday life. Brainy Baby DVD’s expose children to basic preschool concepts like the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors. Brainy Baby encourages parents to watch the DVD’s with their children so that concepts and images that are presented can be reviewed together and reinforced through verbal communication. The DVDs offer lessons in everything from right brain and left brain exercises to ABCs to foreign languages.</p>
<p><strong>My thoughts:</strong> We received the Laugh &amp; Learn DVD for ages 1 &#8211; 3 years old  and the Music DVD for ages 2 &#8211; 5 years old.  These are Great DVD&#8217;s! My 2 year old loves them especially the music one but, surprisingly my 5 year old does too!  They absolutely love playing music and are always finding new opportunities to use something to make music.  After watching the Musci DVD they practically had a concert, it really inspired them.  It was cute.</p>
<p>These are great learning DVD&#8217;s!</p>
<p><strong>Purchase Information:</strong> Check online at <a href="http://www.brainybaby.com" target="_blank">Brainy Baby</a> for retail locations.</p>
