My Cleaning Trolley
First to recommend
Description
My kids have all gone through a stage (starting when they were toddlers) of being fascinated with cleaning. Unfortunately, my ten-year-old has outgrown it, lol. But this is one of the best versions of a cleaning trolley I've seen. The vacuum even has sound effects.

Eskimold and Super Shovel
First to recommend
Description
My kids had so much fun last year in a pile of snow they mashed up into a crazy looking igloo that this winter I'm going to spring for a "professional" kit, lol. This one has the plastic gadgets they'll need to get the job done. Check out the Super Shovel on the site, too....
From the site:
Snow day? Yay! Celebrate by making a real igloo. Just fill an Eskimold with a few shovelfuls of snow, and flip out a curved eskiblock. Snow-proof instructions tell you how to place the blocks and to use the plastic "eskisaw" to even everything off. You can also build straight walls for forts.
Kids can use the ergonomically designed, high-quality plastic Children's Super Shovel to carve a deep and wide path to their new and exciting play place.
Colors for both will vary; we will choose for you.

Ruben Toledo History of Fashion Tote Bag
First to recommend
Description
I love trolling around the Met site for unique gifts. Here is an interesting one for the fashionista on your holiday shopping list....
from the site:
Cuban-born artist and fashion illustrator Ruben Toledo was inspired by objects in the Museum’s Costume Institute to create the witty illustrations on this shiny vinyl tote bag. The history of fashion parades around the border, and iconic styles such as Dior’s New Look and the little black dress are featured in the center. Toledo (born in Havana, 1961) is a renowned sculptor, illustrator, fashion chronicler, and critic. His illustrations have appeared in top fashion magazines and journals around the world, including the New Yorker, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Town & Country, Paper, Visionaire, Interview, and the New York Times. His work has been exhibited in The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the textile museum at the Louvre, and his collaboration with his fashion-designer wife, Isabel Toledo, was the subject of both a book and a museum exhibition titled “Toledo/Toledo: A Marriage of Art and Fashion” at The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.
Vinyl. Height 9 in., width 8 in., depth 4 1/2 in.; strap length 14 in.
