Keep Organized With This Single Photo Box

Lisa Estall — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 18:00:00 GMT

This Single Photo Box is exactly what I needed to hold my loose photos. It’s made of faux leather and holds up to 70 4 x 6 prints.

Since I haven't found a baby photo album yet, I'm going to use this to keep my daughter's pictures in.

The only problem I have with this box is that the Made in China sticker on the bottom scratched away some of the faux leather material.

It’s only $12.99 and sold at Kangaroom Storage.

Take your kid along with you...on your bag! Have a beloved photo displayed on a Snaptotes Classic Photo Tote.

The bag has three compartments. Zippered pocket has room for cell phone, make-up and smaller items. The tote itself is roomy enough to carry things like a laptop and diapers. It’s made of microfiber and costs $120.

Is this something you would buy?

Re-Stickable Decal Photo Frames

Chris Ford — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

My daughter's new favorite thing is to draw a picture and then scotch tape it to the wall - any wall she can find. Her room and playroom are covered with her creations. Although she's not printing out her own photos yet, I'm guessing that in the future her obsession with displaying her work will continue. Which is why these re-stickable photo frames are so cool. When you get bored with your picture, you just pull it down, replace it and put it back up on the wall.

An 8 pack of Wall Decals costs $20.00 (or two for $36.00) and are made of "pliable, premium vinyl". I'm doubting I'll be able to get my daughter to use them now, but it looks like the sort of thing that she'll really be into when she's older.

CES 2009: Barbie B Nails - Inkjet Fingernail Printer

Chris Ford — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:30:00 GMT

If you ask me, Barbie B Nails from Mattel is a home run. It's basically an ink jet printer that prints designs (and even photos) on your nails. If it's reliable, I can't see how Mattel won't have little girls demanding this for Christmas in 2009.

The Barbie B Nails works in conjunction with your computer. The girl picks out a design in the software (there are over 1,000 or she can upload a picture of her own) and then puts her hand inside the machine. There's a little camera inside so she can place her fingernail in just the right place, and then when she presses the button the design gets printed on her nail.

The Barbie B Nails (I'm not sure exactly what the "B" in the name means) is for ages 8 years old and up and should be available in the fall of 2009. No price has been announced.

Put Your Own Photo on Candy with My M&M's

Chris Ford — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:20:00 GMT

Looking for a party favor or birth announcement gift that you've absolutely never seen before? The melt-in-your-mouth-not-in-your-hand candy M&M's has recently launched "My M&M's," the customizable, printable chocolate. And it just might be that perfect party favor.

The process itself is pretty simple. You upload a photo to the web site, enter a message (if you want one) and it gives you a rough approximation of what the candy will look like. Then apparently a "graphic specialist will work with the photo(s) you uploaded to provide the best reproduction quality possible." Which means that it's more than a computer that will decide how the candy will look, which makes me trust the whole process a lot more.

It's not cheap, but it's not incredibly expensive either. They have all sorts of packaging options from gift bags, glass boxes to teddy bears, but the minimum order seems to be three 7 oz. bags for $12.99 each ($38.97). You can also get a five pound box for $162.50 or a ten pound box for $312.50, which seems like a lot, but for something like a wedding might be one of the less expensive things in the party budget.

Liven Up Your Lunchbox

chrisjordan — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 18:05:00 GMT

Ah the classic rectangular metal lunch box. That was one of the highlights of elementary school, getting a new lunch box. Then leaving it behind on the bus and never seeing it again.

Vannie Ogg has put a new twist on this classic. They will take any digital image , whether it is a photograph, a drawing made by your child, or even their name and print it on the lunch box. While having their face on the side of the lunch box won't make them less likely to lose it, at least it would increase the chance of it's eventual return. I am still bitter about Lizzy suddenly having a Holly Hobby lunch box the day after mine went missing.

The lunch box costs $35 for a single photo. Add $10 for an additional photo on the other side.
