Exercise baby's memory, crave fudge ripple

Exercise baby's memory, crave fudge ripple
I scream, you scream, we all scream for... well, okay, I lied. I didn't scream over these adorable soft ice cream-festooned beanbags, but I did squeal just a little bit.

The Baby Gardner brings us Lisa Bacigalupi's exclusive hand-stitched take on the traditional memory match game: 16 beanbags, 8 different pairs of matching cones, 1 muslin bag to store it all in, 100% chance of delight. This one is pretty to look at, soft and interesting for little fingers, and guaranteed to last longer than a flimsy deck of cards.

This isn't the item to grab when you need a cheap, generic gift, of course, but as an heirloom-quality baby's first birthday gift that is both beautiful and will get hours and hours of use? Perfect. -Mir
