 Maria
Diaper Bag (Mia
Bossi) Hands down this is the most luxurious diaper bag we have
seen yet. It's so nice it's hard to imagine it's filled with
diapers, wipes, soiled clothes etc., but it is. The bag is detailed
in a rich cherry red leather and beautiful fabric. The inside (which
zips out for easy cleaning) has a very large washable changing pad, cell phone holder, keychain holder, diaper holder, baby wipe holder and a private zippered pocket for personal belongings.
The straps are adjustable and detachable so it straps easily to the
stroller. There are two roomy pockets on the exterior for bottles
for both Mommy and baby! When you're all done with the baby gear you
can get an insert that will hold your laptop! This is a great gift
that a first, second or sixth time mom would love! Retails for
$330.00 and you can call toll free at (877) 642-2670, Monday through Friday 9:00am – 5:00pm CST
to order.

you're still stuck in the mud?
 Well, Paddywax
candles have a great new line of candles called "Destinations." These
candles are inspired by the fragrances of the most beautiful places in
the world - and when you light one, close your eyes -- you'll almost
believe that you're there. They come poured in a beautiful frosted
glass and they will burn long and clean burning candles with maximum
fragrance. Some inspired scents are Tuscany, Provence, Mykonos and Sri
Lanka to name a few. At $25.00 per candle they are a great gift for
Mom, Grandma, sister or best friend!
 Sticks
'n Stones Stick Figures (Sticks
n' Stones) We gave a T-Shirt with these two stick figures to a
brand new second-time mom. She has a 2-year-old boy and just gave
birth to a daughter so this was a great product for her to review.
She loved the boy and girl stick figures in sparkly pink and blue
Swarovski crystals. You can purchase just the iron-on figures or you
can purchase a "blank" and they'll iron them on for you.
Now you can show off your family tree with style! You don't have to
put these on T-Shirts - you can put them on jeans, a bag --
whatever. They are machine machine washable/dryable and are long
lasting. $10.95 and up.
 Mothership
Diaper Backpack (Fleurville)
Our new mom tester just
raved about this bag. She had this to say, "I love the look of
the bag. It’s so trendy
looking that I’d take this along anywhere as my only bag.
It’s got plenty of pockets to put mom stuff in there too.
Definitely could double as a travel bag for longer trips. The bottle pocket is very useful. Comes with portable changing pad, dirty diaper pouch and baby
wipes box. I like the sleeve
to store the changing pad it keeps the bag organized. Nice thick shoulder strap for comfort. A
great versatile and most stylish diaper bag."

 Capri
Pants and T-Shirt Pajamas (Wild
Bleu) If you've ever suffered from hot flashes or night sweats then
you know how awful it is to wake up a few times a night soaked, only to
change your clothes again and again. Our new-mom tester, who is
currently having night sweats tested these and thought they were
great. She loved the lightweight feel of the fabric and the fact
they dried very quickly when she did sweat. Wild Bleu created this
product which features a unique Heat Release Technology™ (HRT) that they
developed from years of working with endurance athletes. We have given one
of their nightgowns to a grandmother currently going through menopause and
her initial comments are that they are great! T-Shirt $26.00 and
Capri's are $29.00. Gowns start at $45.00 and up. A great and
practical gift for any new mom or grandmother!

a Wish & More (Dogeard
Jewels) Here are some great finds from the New York Gift Show that are

pieces. Whether you get the Make

Pearl and a silver heart. The Make a Wish has a cute saying, " Make a Wish, and
put this on... Thanks
for all that you do... When your necklace wears off... Your wish
should come true..." Our mom tester thought this was
"really cute and hopes it my wish comes true" - at the
moment it's still on so we don't know yet! Prices range from $25.00 - $75.00 Some of these
were featured on the Today
Show.

 MommySox I
tested these socks while I was pregnant and theya re still my
favorites! These socks have good support which is great if you have
flat feet like me! I like low ankle socks and it's really nice that
they don't "quit" -- creep down into your sneakers when you
walk. They also stay nice and dry. It's a nice little gift for
a new mom, or a grandma!

 CoolDryComfort™
Pajamas (Karen
Neuburger) $72.00
We gave a set of CoolDryComfort PJ's to a grandmother tester and she just
loves them. She's had them for a while now and she wears them all
the time - she said they are her favorites. While I was pregnant the
PR person from Karen Neuburger was kind enough to send me a pair of these
to test and they are a dream. They were great while I was pregnant
and wonderful after I delivered and hit those postpartum hormones.
They are comfortable, cool, soft and feminine. They allow me to stay
dry and get a better night sleep. They are a great gift for a new
mom!
