Regifting the gift bag

I have been a fan of gift bags for a long time, because I truly suck at wrapping gifts. And, we all know the dirty little secret when it comes to gift bags — what comes around goes around. And around and around. That’s why I love these Traveling Gift bags...

by Carrie | Fashion

Until this personalized necklace from the husband and wife team behind Searcey Designs, my only foray into the world of personalized jewelry was an ID bracelet purchased in my middle school years when they were all the rage. And that was just a cookie-cutter affair...

by Carrie | Baby

Honestly, I’m not that into bath salts and scrubs and fancy pampering- maybe because my shower lengths are too often determined by how long I can stand to hear the baby cry. But I do understand the advantages of smelling nice, which is why gift boxes of...

Eeboo – Going Green Through Flash Cards

by Cool Mom Team | Toys + Playthings

I’m always on the lookout for ways to teach my four-year-old about conservation other than asking her to turn off the lights 400 times a day (followed by my long boring speech about saving the earth). Thankfully, Eeboo has created these cool Respect the Earth...
