There’s something intrinsically silly about a pirate. Of all the themed products for boys (cars, airplanes, sail boats, sports), pirates are, in my opinion, the coolest. Maybe it’s because pirates are rebels. Or maybe pirates are a little less common than cars and airplanes. (And that’s why pirate products are popping up everywhere. Arg!) So, in ...

  Although Droolicious is almost always about products that one purchases after procreating, I thought I'd jump out of the mold and post a few products that one might use before one conceives, products that could potentially aid in said conception, products that are FREE if you vote on Tuesday (red or blue). Yep, Seattle and New York ...

  Looking for crib bedding for the new baby or a comforter for that new big boy or girl bed? Chances are (if you're reading this), you're probably considering Dwell. Even though most of their products are a little pricey, the designs are beautifully modern. And most all of the products they have are not on sale at Design ...

It was fun to check out all the new products from the brands that we all know, but it was also fun to find new products from people who had a good idea and are trying to make it happen. The Snacker Catcher, a "big snack" tether, is one of those products. It basically looks like a pacifier tether - you clip one end to your child's ...

  Every pregnant woman deserves to sooth and pamper her kankles, sore back, itchy skin and swollen legs. It's a time in our lives when a simple foot massage can mean the world. Erbaviva makes luxurious products from the finest organic ingredients. I have a hot date tonight with their Mommy-to-Be Milk Bath. The Mommy-to-Be Milk Bath is ...

You know, my first guitar (a crappy Japanese Fender knock-off, in case you're wondering) didn't look or perform anywhere nearly as sweet(ly) as these Starpex Obsidian fake axes from Peak Products, but then again, I grew up before Rock Band and Guitar Hero existed to make everyone worthy of a star-quality axe. Available now, with even ...

We've already told you about the new bath toys and ladybug organizer from Boon, but Skip Hop was also showing off some new bath products at ABC. The Tubby toy organizer keeps the tub tidy and the Moby spout cover is a cool rubber duck alternative for the faucet. The Tubby organizer is made of washable neoprene and mesh, and has suction cups ...

If you pack lunches for school-age kids, you've likely got a pantry full of Rubbermaid containers -- and with growing concerns about BPA-laced plastics, you may be seeing that pantry as a toxic waste dump. While it hasn't yet taken a hard stance against BPA, Rubbermaid has put together an extremely handy checklist of its products, ...

We've written about products from Finnish textile and design company Marimekko before, so here's another cool one to add to the list. Designed by Olivia Toikka, the Opari pattern is based on his "Afrikan kuningatar (Queen of Africa) children's fabric pattern". There are bibs, aprons and children's dishes. (I'm ...

  I realize writing about home products for nesting pregnant women is unfair. With the constant feeling of, “If I only had that, I would have complete control of my home and most likely childbirth and therefore, the new baby,” it’s a dangerous time to peruse Amazon. So I apologize in advance to all of you who shop first and think later ...
