Mille Bornes

"I'd be happy with a retro version of this game courtesy of e-bay, but this tin is pretty cool, and the card design here is better than the basic set currently selling at most places."
– Little People Toy Car Garage
1 recommendation
"I don't know if it's hard wired into little boy's brains from birth. But despite sitting through countless episodes of Project Runway and no exposure whatsoever to the "snakes and snails and puppy-dog tails" stereotypes, my son's favorite toys are his "Vroom, Vrooms". Cars, trucks and basically anything with wheels are his favorites. I like the Little People toys because mommy can play too even t..."

1 recommendation
"Lovely robot plush toy from UK stationary brand Paperchase."
Amazon: Hot Wheels Classics -The Redline Era - Birth of the Redline by Angelo Von Bogart
1 recommendation
"My sister was an equal opportunity play pal: she would switch from our (mostly) shared Barbie camper only to motor around with her collection of Hot Wheels. She even wheeled and dealed with the guys on the school bus, too. So, perhaps it is nostalgia one step removed, but I still love the color and trim and spirit of these tiny autos. And I bet you know someone who does too . . ."
Amazon: Big with Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins, Robert Loggia and John Heard
1 recommendation
"That Tom Hanks plays a twelve-year-old grown-up so flawlessly is only half the beauty of this film for me. The other half is that I got to dance on THE piano with my son, forever intertwining this movie with my own life story."
Amazon Rainforest Knuckleheads Finger Puppets
1 recommendation
"The Amazon Rainforest is a beautiful place and I suppose these finger puppets will do the trick while you wait to get there for real. But these are no excuse to not go there in real life and see the magnificence for yourself."

Toys for Foreplay, In-play and After-play - 4 Play Toys
1 recommendation
"I bought a few toys for me and my girlfriend so we could spice-up our relationship. It worked. I can't say this store was the reason for it working but I will say the toys arrived in good working condition, as described and just in time to save our relationship. This store has two very happy customers here.."

7 recommendations
"Harry Potter fans, rejoice! Here's a new J. K. Rowling release - a collector's edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard. No, Hogwarts is not involved, but I hear these books are equally terrific - and a lot prettier."
Amazon: The Guerilla Art Kit by Keri Smith
1 recommendation
"Long a believer in the artist inside each of us, Keri Smith goes one step beyond in this book that encourages us to reconsider our conceptions of art, time and even life itself. Its journal format will encourage world-chaning self-expression."
Amazon: The Pelican Brief with Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington (book by John Grisham)
1 recommendation
"Okay, so I read the book AFTER I saw the movie, but one gave me a greater appreciation for the other, so I highly recommend both. As for the movie, Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts are paired so beautifully and convincingly as reporter and law student respectively that their mutual respect for one another adds tremendous dramatic tension to this already fast-paced drama. And now that our pla..."
Amazon: Lessons of a Lipstick Queen by Poppy King
2 recommendations
"Australian lipstick aficionado Poppy King started out with a whim, and followed it through until it became a booming business. Although this is her story (and we may not all achieve the huge success that she has), it does seem to be true that latching on to what you love to do can make all the difference in the longevity, if not the prosperity, of your career. A great gift for the new grad or an..."
Amazon: The Cactus Eaters by Dan White
1 recommendation
"If you have ever thought about taking a long trek through relatively uncharted terrain or merely wondered about the sanity of those who do, this book will provide you with a laugh-out-loud account of one man's quest to conquer the Pacific Coast Trail (PCT). What he finds and what he loses along the way will provide you with great insight as well as numerous useful tips about hiking and those who ..."
Amazon: Rome 1960 - The Olympics That Changed the World by David Maraniss
1 recommendation
"Perhaps noted more for the political atmosphere than for the achievements of the athletes at the Games, this book highlights the transformation of the Olympiad at the onset of the Cold War; the Civil Rights and feminist movements; and steroid use. Although others may choose a different demarcation date for the world's transition to modern day athletics, Maraniss nonetheless narrates a thorough hi..."
Amazon: Is There Really a Human Race? by Jamie Lee Curtis
1 recommendation
"A play on the word "race", this beautifully illustrated and humorous explanation of the concept of humanity is a fun read for both kids and adults. Jamie Lee Curtis has a unique talent for bringing the thoughts and ideas of children to their fullest expression, illuminating questions that we all have pondered (or may still)."
Amazon: The Fortune Cookie Chronicles - by Jennifer 8. Lee
1 recommendation
"Blessed with a lucky middle name, Jennifer Lee begins her life in New York City and experiences two kinds of Chinese food: take-out and the home cooking of her Mother. Later in life, curious about the origins of fortunes and the fortune cookie, Lee begins a quest that will lead her through the countryside of China, to cities all over the world and factories in which cookies, take-out boxes, and ..."
Amazon: Brooches - Timeless Adornment by Lori Ettlinger Gross and David Behl
1 recommendation
"As far back as I can remember, I have been fascinated by brooches. Relatively unconstrained as earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces are in terms of shape and size, they can be gaudy or prim, objects of beauty or politically charged statements. And, having been blessed with a few brooches once belong to my grandmother, I am always reaching for a favorite brooch when I need a special finishing..."
Amazon: Fame with Alan Parker, Maureen Teefy, Antonia Franceschi, Anne Meara and Irene Cara
1 recommendation
"My high school was just absolutely nothing like this movie (although we had our fair share of talented artists, musicians, singers, dancers and actors). Yet, that hasn't changed the fact that I remember every scene, every song and nearly every line as if it were my own life. Just call me wannabe."
Amazon: Flashdance (Special Collector's Edition w/ Bonus CD) with Jennifer Beals and Michael Nouri
2 recommendations
"The music, the dancing, the drama . . . it's all here in the bold and brash form of beauty that was the 1980's. Capturing perfectly my own yearning to be a dancer, this movie is also my closet favorite. (Shhh, don't tell.)"
Amazon: The Bad News Bears with Tatum O'Neal and Walter Matthau
2 recommendations
"I vividly remember my Dad cringing at the language in this movie when he took my sister and I to see it in the movie theatre. Not that we hadn't heard those words before, but I don't think he wanted to be the one responsible for us hearing them. In the end, the language is just a part of the scenery and Tatum O'Neal steals the show as the coolest twelve-year-old girl with a wicked pitching arm o..."
Amazon: West Side Story (Full Screen Edition) with Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno
2 recommendations
"The dancing rumbles, the singing sewing, the nearly tangible sweat, blood and tears . . . this movie can hardly be contained by the screen, no matter how large. And the drama, perhaps dated now in its details, is as timeless as the original drama on which is was based: William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet"."
Amazon: Steel Magnolias with Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, Julia Robert
1 recommendation
"Full of the boisterous, die-hard, look-good-no-matter-what spirit of the Southern belle, this movie makes you laugh, cry and laugh while you are crying . . . and maybe even recognize the foibles, buoyancy and exuberance of the women you know and love. Yes, in short, a chick flick."
Amazon: One True Thing with Meryl Streep, Renée Zellweger, William Hurt and Tom Everett Scott
1 recommendation
"Based upon the novel by journalist Anna Quindlen, this film explores the reality of rediscovering your parents as an adult child . . . and then learning how to parent them in return. Both the book and the movie will resonate with parents and adult children alike. ( Arm yourself with tissues before you read or watch. )"
Amazon: Karma 101- What Goes Around Comes Around...and What You Can Do About It by Joshua Mack
1 recommendation
"Maybe it's just me, but it seems like mean people and ugly behavior are ever more becoming the rule, rather than the exception. Which is why I love this book so much . . . it gives plenty of examples of both the good and the bad and the in-my-lifetime consequences of each. As the opening quote by Sogyal Rinpoche so succinctly states, "Whatever we do, with our body, speech or mind, will have a co..."
Amazon: Contact with Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey and Jena Malone
2 recommendations
"I was so thoroughly entranced by this movie, from beginning to end, that I had lost all track of time by the time it was over. Aside from exploring the tentative and, at times, hostile relationship between religion and science, the story left me feeling very small and insignificant and fascinated by all of the possibilities of human, extraterrestrial and beyond-the-grave connections."
