This is a small-scale (ie for kids) guitar with a dry erase surface so kids can get really creative with designs or keep it simple with lyric cheat sheets. Whatever they choose, it is a neat idea to let them really personalize their instrument.

Touch Screen ATM Coin & Bill Machine

First to recommend

Description

As close to the real thing as you can get! Your child gets an ATM card and secret pin number to use in their very own home machine. The light-up touch screen does everything from show their balance to their deposits (coins are recognized too!). Very cool way to get your kids interested in saving.

The Fairies: Photographic Evidence of the Existence of Another World

First to recommend

Description

With daughters who are fairy addicts, there are few books on the subject that aren't in our library. My girls are pretty hardcore enthusiasts, actively maintaining "fairy houses" both here and at our cottage in Ireland for their tiny friends.

So we've moved beyond cutesy little cartoon fairies into a realm that encompasses a lot of the mythological and historical basis of 'the fairy faith.' It is an environment that includes both the beauty AND the darker side of fairies and this magnificent book touches on both.

Author and photographer Suza Scalora has created a provocative book that is worthy of both a place in your child's library and even on your own coffee table. The images are simply stunning.

The premise? A female photographer takes up the mysterious quest of a scholar whose research centered around how to find and coax fairies in different parts of the world into being photographed (a sneak peek- not all are "nice" fairies and each has its own lures).

It is not a long book, the opposite in fact. But more than any other book on fairies, it is very effective in making a believer of the reader.

For more info, Suza's work is discussed on myth.com.

Mermaid Cookbook

First to recommend

Description

I bought this last year for my mermaid-obsessed daughter and she still uses it many months later. Personally, I think they could have been a teeny bit more creative with the recipes but the ones they do have are lovely.

Disney Couture Mirror Necklace

First to recommend

Description

The mirror actually works (not that it would take a rocket scientist to design such a feature but... let's face it, a lot of items fall short of what they "could" be...)

My daughter is going to flip for this. One Christmas gift, checked off the list.

Trunki Ride-On Luggage

3 people recommended this item

Description

Oh WOW what a great idea! Great price too.... I take my kiddos back to Ireland every year and let me tell ya, these are going to make the airport trekking SO much more fun.

UPDATE: May 12th
Ok. Let me just say this- if you have kids and travel, GET these! I just got back from a week at Disneyland and successfully hauled three derrieres- ages 10, 7 and 2- through two airports on 'em. They're remarkably stable I had all the leashes in one hand. You just need to walk fairly straight. But when the "moooommmmm, I'm tiiiiiired" started, these saved the day. I also loved that they could park their butts on them as temporary seating while we were in line without squashing the contents. Very durable, very smart. I had several people actually stop me to ask me where I got them when they saw them in action. A final note- my 10-year-old is fairly tall but still was able to ride it with no problem- just bent her legs back at the knees.

Merlin

First to recommend

Description

Years before I was nearly engulfed in flames thanks to a vibrator I TRULY thought was a back massager (long story, for another time when we've all been drinking), I sat on my bed for hours and hours and played with this. Merlin.

Six games in one. Might not be flame retardant.
