The perfect way to shake things up this Valentine's Day.
Growing up, no Valentine's Day was complete without a bagful of Be Mine and Hug Me heart candies. Sure they were cute, but let's be honest: they tasted like chewable antacids.

Conversation Heart Rattles from Yellow Label Kids are a much more tasteful way of showing your love. These sweet, soft, heart-shaped knit rattles are embroidered with the sayings you remember as a kid. And as if that weren't enough, how about the fact that the rattles are made following fair trade practices--at CMP you know we truly "heart" that. 

Plus they have the added bonus that they won't rot the teeth that your baby probably doesn't even have yet. -Betsy

Conversation Heart Rattles are available at Arte Bebe just in time for Valentine's Day.
