Casablanca Cribs in Jennifer Lopez's Nursery

Chris Ford — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 23:30:00 GMT

Last week I mentioned the prams Jennifer Lopez has for her new twins, but there are other baby products to gawk at in the People Magazine article too. For instance, the matching "Casablanca Cribs" in the nursery. Even though the picture in People makes it look like neither child has ever spent a moment of their lives in the cribs, this time I'm finding it kind of difficult to make fun of them.

Well, maybe not so difficult.

The Casablanca Premier crib is adjustable, meets all the US safety requirements and has a drop front gate that's integrated into the "scroll bar." And if a big, vintage-looking metal crib with a lot of ornate scrolls matches your design style, then you could do a lot worse than the Casablanca Premiere. I do however think it's a little weird that J-Lo has the same crib featured in Stuart Little II (Stuart Little Two??) but hey, maybe she's a big fan of mediocre kid's movie sequels.

The Casablanca Premier is available as a custom order in burnished gold, silver or satin white for $950 from Petit Tresor.

Droolworthy: Tiffany Man in the Moon Silver Rattle

If you must do the silver keepsake thing, here's a great way to get both chic and adorable in one fell sweep: The Tiffany Man in the Moon Rattle is utter perfection. $150 gets you the sweet rattle, the Tiffany packaging, and the joy of watching baby slobber on something that cost more than a couple of months worth of diapers.

Rollin' with My Lego Bling Ring

I think I've found the perfect accessory for those special dates with my 5-year-old son: a chunky silver Lego-like ring. I mean, I really can't go wrong sporting this monstrosity of finger jewelery made out of re-purposed plastic pieces. And to make it even more kid-swank, it comes with colored-Lego pieces that you can snap on, you know, and coordinate with your kid's outfit (or something like that). You think I'm joking.

The Brick Wall Ring is available for $80 at Giant Robot.

Droolworthy: Eat Your Vegetables Heirloom Spoon

Mir — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 22:04:00 GMT

If you're looking for that perfect, quintessential baby keepsake, look no further than this hand-made sterling silver masterpiece from artist Sarah Hood (available at Briar Patch Heirlooms). Each one features "Eat Your Vegetables" stamped in the bowl of the spoon, as well as a vegetable cast from, well, real vegetables.

Does all of that make it worth the $475 price tag? Perhaps if said spoon shall be placed directly into the baby's mouth at birth....

Sterling Silver Bubble Wand

All the magic of blowing bubbles is multiplied with this extraordinary handcrafted sterling silver wand.

At least that is what the website says. For $188 I am going to expect a whole helluva lot of magic. In fact, David Blaine had better come along holding the bubble container.
