This baby book is truly one of the loveliest I have seen. The design reflects today's aesthetics yet is beautiful enough to retain its charm in 50 years. A keepsake worthy of the treasures it will hold.

House Industries Alexander Girard Buildling Blocks
7 people recommended this item
Description
It's never to early to introduce your baby to brilliant mid-century modern typography and design!
This set of Alphabet blocks featuring the fonts and designs of Alexander Girard has a puzzle on one side and a different version of the sun he designed for the restaurant Fonda del Sol on another. The rest are filled with letters and other highlights from his work. It is pricey at $85, but it is also probably one of the few sets of today that might bring some bucks on Antiques Roadshow in 100 years. Girard was the textile designer for Herman Miller, and is known for his love of the vibrant hues reflected by these blocks.

Siliskin 8oz
First to recommend
3 people recommended this item
Description
Glass bottles are healthier for kids and for the environment but a lot of parents are afraid that little hands will drop them and they'll break. Siliskins fix that problem. Made of silicone, they slip securely over the bottle, providing a soft grippy surface. If a particularly well placed drop does manage to cause a break, the skin provides an extra layer of protection from the pieces. Dishwasher safe.
