Gifts galore at MissPrissStyle.com

Miss Priss Style is another retailer that carries some of our Snanimals.com shoes. But just take a look at some of their other offerings! An adorable personalized hooded towel, customized sippy cups and crayone name apron are among them.

These sippy cups are sweet and maybe a bit pricey but fun all the same. And if you have the extra $$ for the indulgence then go for it!

This towel is pink and green, but there is also pink and brown retro or pink and white. I love them and think Anna and John would love having their own personal towels.

The crayon apron is a great idea and again, this is just one of the styles available. Of course I chose it because it says Emma and I know Emma would have loved one of these.

Company Kids Adirondak Chairs

I saw these last night in the latest Company Kids catalog. They have about 8 styles and they are super cute and fun. Won't your little boy or girl LOVE sitting outside in their own special chair? And look at these styles, Pirate, Pony (also dinosaur, fairy and many more!) Tons of fun and will look great.

Oooh, I love a find! And I have one for you. Need a great baby shower gift? A new mom gift? A gift for a little girl or boy? Here it is and it's affordable (the best kind of gifts!) Personalized baby blankets in lots of styles to choose from. Here's the scottie dogs but you'll find planes trains & automobiles, butterflies, lambs, leopards and many more.

RoseberryCreekDesigns.com Hats!

Fun toys & furniture

Here are some adorable wooden toddler beds that won't break your budget. I can now say bye bye to John's plastic toddler bed and get him a much nicer one that will probably last longer. Here are a few choices we love, a cottage bed for girls and a firetruck bed for boys. At just $195 each I think the cost rivals those cheaper ones from the local off price stores!

And check this one out! A little pink wooden ride on with trailer! My Anna would love this!

Fun for Boys too at Zarabella.com

Waggies.org / Another Great Cause!

Okay, here is something your dog can really sink his teeth into! Waggies.org makes treats for your special pet. Here is what they have to say:

One Brave Chick

Now here is a product you must see and a story you must hear (so similar to ours at Snanimals.) One brave chick was formed by a group of ladies who all have suffered but perservered. Headed by a mom who has lost 2 of her children, this is a cause worth supporting. I bought 3 shirts today (for me, my daughter and my niece) let's get the word out!

Your baby's art in a poster
