It’s been a while since I’ve been on a picnic and apparently, wicker is out! In its’ place are these super cool and eco-friendly “briefcase” and “boombox” picnic sets by Boxsal. Each set comes with fully compostable utensils, plates, cups and napkins and can easily fit a bottle of wine and your favorite snacks. I’ve got the wine covered…who’s bringing the snacks?

A is for awesome. B is for bad-ass. C is for charming. My first alphabet book was such a snoozefest compared to this fantastic alphabet book titled Alphabeasties: And Other Amazing Types. Pictures of animals from A to Z are composed of its initial letter in different typefaces that reflect the animals’ characteristics. A great book for kids of all ages and adults too!

Even though it started last year, you can still download all of them for free…plus there’s still a few more to be released!

Some of our fave bloggers like Cool Mom Picks, Giddy Giddy Blog and Lushlee are already head over heels for Frazier & Wing Mobiles and we can definitely see what the fuss is all about! These handmade mobiles are made from colorful cardstock cut into various shapes and strung on clear thread. Simple, yet simply breathtaking, and can be hung in any room in the house. There are still some mobiles from the 2009 collection available but we can’t wait to see what 2010 brings from this talented artist!

Just happened to be browing Etsy and came across these beautiful felted wool bowls from The Fuzzy Monkey. The felted wool gives the bowls a really wonderful earthy quality and the colors are so bold & vivid! Filling the autumn leaf bowls with candy, nuts or even tiny pinecones & leaves would make a charming Thanksgiving centerpiece.

There are some good ideas out there and then there are some great ideas out there. Flipper Toothbrush Holders definitely fall in the latter category. We can’t stop raving about the simple yet effective design, our little nieces & nephews love the different animal shapes and even our 30-something siblings are hooked! Flippers open and close with the stroke of your toothbrush so it keeps your brush away from airborne germs. Plus they’ve got amazing strength suction cups so that means you can take it with you whenever you travel. Check out their site for their full line of toobrush and razor holders!
