I really feel like I shouldn't laugh yet lo and behold, I am laughing. And laughing. And laughing.
I know someone out there bigger than a 2T is probably going to buy this and squeeze into it.... and that will be wrong, too. But I probably will laugh at that too.....

I must be PMS'ing or something because every time the nostalgia stick whacks me upside the head today I am getting all teary. This did it big time. Had totally forgotten it EXISTED until I saw this. It was the FAVE toy of my best friend Jenny and I the summer of our... oh hell I don't even know how old we were. I grew up partly in the Valley of So. Calif so there are a lot of years I've purposefully blacked out of my memory due to traumatic fashion choices (like my 4-inch vertical Aqua Net bangs that were always painstakingly backcombed using my single non-lace glove-clad hand....). "Before we discovered Duran Duran", that's the only way I can date it. Because once DD came on the scene... well screw Charlie Brown and basically anything else on the planet.
At any rate, I am so excited to see this make a reappearance. Given that my mother gave every single thing I ever considered near and dear to our cleaning lady a week after I left for college (do you think I have lingering issues about that? No...... ok yeah maybe one or two- I mean she was nearly SIXTY! Did she NEED the Weeble Wobble circus????), I've spent many years reacquiring things like this to pass on to my children. Or more accurately, to excitedly present to them while ignoring the fact that some shaved ice and a 'freakishly-bald-except-for-the-pubic-like -orehead hair thingy' cartoon character isn't quite as stimulating to them as rebuilding civilizations on Sims. Luckily we have reached a compromise- I shoot them the "we are going to BOND over Mommy's childhood memories, dammit!" look and they bury their "Oh for Christ's sake" expression. Then we all dig into bowls of yummy denial and 6 minutes later go back to whatever we were doing feeling a bit used and unsatisfied. Hey, it works for us.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go squirt some unnaturally colored juice on ice chips and pretend to myself that it's a life-coming-full-circle, beautiful moment.

Razor Pocket Mod Electric Scooter
First to recommend
Description
May I introduce my favorite thing EVER so far this summer?
Ok, here's the scoop:
My 7-year-old wanted one of those ride-around Barbie type jeeps. I looked at them and a) couldn't figure out how her rear end would fit in it and b) couldn't figure out how much Crisco it would take to free mine if I took it for a spin myself.
So I looked around. And found this.
OH MY GOD do we all love it! So much so that I bought another for my ten-year-old and- wait for it, wait for it.... ONE FOR ME! Yep! Now we have our own scooter gang and we troll the 'hood every single day.
It runs for a little over half an hour (rechargeable battery powered) at very crisp speeds, is very sturdy (enough to not only support me but also my safety-helmet clad 3-year-old meatball of a son who sits between my knees) and is really durable.
I even included a family shot to illustrate how cool it is and how dorky we are.
And there are a few color options. We have this candy pink one, a minty green and a seafoam green.
LOVE THIS!

The Only Digital Camera Swim Mask
6 people recommended this item
Description
My daughter is SO excited about this! And come to think of it, so am I. Imagine a pool party this summer where you have one or two of these for your guests to play with.... the result? One of the best home movies you'll ever create, I'd imagine. Actually, I'd even bet money on it. Real money.
The 5MP camera has a memory upgrade slot as well so you're only limited in how many pictures you take by the size of your card.
From the site:
The 5 MP camera can operate to a depth of 15', making it ideal for use when snorkeling or in swimming pools. The masks eye pieces are made of tempered glass and have integrated crosshairs that allow you to line up shots easily; simply press the shutter button to take pictures or videos. An LED inside the mask tells you if you are in still picture or video mode. Downloading images is as easy as plugging in the mask to your PCs or Macs USB port (USB cable included)the included software allows you to edit your content. Its built-in 16 MB memory can store up to 30 high- resolution pictures (2560 x 1920) or up to 52 seconds of video. A microSD card slot allows you to expand memory for additional pictures or videos. Requires two AAA batteries. Ages 8 and up. (via thegreenhead)

The Flying Carpet
First to recommend
Description
A very cool and playful design. How you interpret and utilize that... well, it's up to you.
From busyboo:
Ana Mir and Emili Padrs, from Emiliana Design Studio, have designed the Flying Carpet rug for Nani marquina, a Barcelona-based rug company offering rugs for almost every kind of interior, all hand-tufted, hand-loomed and knotted.
The Flying Carpet rug seems as if it’s just about to land in your room, while its structured design clearly defines the interior space. The rug is hand loomed from 100% New Zealand wool and the wedge is felt wool and polyurethane foam and you cab get it in red, green or gray and small or large sizes.
By the way, the Nani marquina website is a beautiful Flash website with highly intuitive navigation, illustrations and beautiful photographs, while an illustrated red ball of yarn acts as a playful element tying everything together. Great style.
If you have trouble on the flash site, look for Nani and ordering info here:
