From Baby Town, USA - A L'Bri Body Scrub Valued at $16

Exfoliating Facial & Body Scrub Gently exfoliate and have clearer, smoother skin! As we age, cell renewal slows down, allowing dry, lifeless cells to remain on the skin's surface longer, creating a dull, tired look and contributing to skin problems. This remarkable, skin refining formula gentle lifts tired, dull surface cells and imbedded impurities from the skin without damaging or scratching delicate tissues. I love the scrub because it's excellent for dry skin. The scrub removes the dry "flakes" without causing further dryness. It's also great for oily skin as it helps remove excess oils. This wonderful exfoliator contains Aloe Vera, Honey, Sodium Hyaluronate, complex seaweed extracts, Vitamins A, C, E, herbal extracts, and essential oils of: Lemongrass, Geranium, Clary Sage, Chamomile, and Violet Leaves. The scrub encourages cell renewal and leaves skin looking and feeling fresher, healthier, and clearer. Read more about this natural scrub in the skin care article: Naturally Exfoliate Your Skin. Not only will it work wonders for your face, it's also a great body product, gently exfoliating all those rough areas like elbows, feet, and knees.

From Bjort & Company: The Eye Patch Kids DVD

This DVD is designed to take the pressure off the parents and to put it on the puppets. Throughout the DVD, we encourage your child to put on their eye patches so they can be cool like the puppets. The DVD informs children that wearing an eye patch helps their lazy eye get better and to listen to their parents by not taking off the eye patch until they are told to. By wearing their eye patch, they also become part of the special "Eye Patch Group" and get to make the "Eye Patch Promise" with Princess and the Bjorts. This DVD can also be used for other eye conditions that require children to wear an eye patch. The Eye Patch Kids" are proud to announce being a recipient of the 2005 Telly Awards.

From Chicks n Chickens: Lullaby Workout DVD

Chief chick Darcy Novo Albrecht was born to move and groove. She turned her first cartwheel at age two and kept rolling through the next 26 years with gymnastics, aerobics, and cheerleading-including six years as a national instructor, choreographer, and judge for the National Cheerleaders Association. Darcy then got her BA in Business, had a rewarding career in advertising and married Oliver. Reed, her first chicken, arrived shortly thereafter and she chose to stay at home. With no time for the gym and a restless baby at hand, Darcy started dancing around the house to get him to sleep...and the idea for chicks-n-chickens Lullaby Exercises was hatched. Her second little chicken, Nolan, arrived a couple of years later and, as a result, the workout was perfected. In Lullaby Exercises, Darcy uses her decades of fitness experience to creatively give moms what they and their babies need most—toning, soothing, bonding, and sleep.

Lullaby Exercises is a series of fun, easy-to-learn movements—dancing, swaying, stretching & relaxing—that are performed while holding a baby in your arms or in a baby carrier. It’s designed for new moms to share moments with their baby, put a little one to sleep, and to feel good emotionally and physically.

From Kind Notes: A Kind Notes pre-made Jar Valued at $33.95

How often do you receive letters from someone in your life (forget about all the bills and advertising pieces that bombard your mail box)? Do you remember it feeling more personal in comparison to a quickly drafted e-mail? Maybe you didn’t notice it then, but the Founder of KindNotes™ certainly did and remembers those moments.

The first idea of KindNotes began four years ago as a gift the Founder had made for her then-boyfriend-now-husband. She thought about the pleasant feeling of receiving a personal letter in the mail each day, but soon-after thought the long letters might just scare him away instead! So she wrote 31 short notes onto small pieces of paper, stuffed them into plain miniature envelopes and put them in an embellished jar. Her husband then began each day with a note that made him smile.

This Kind Notes collection of petite decorative envelopes & papers, constructed of durable cardstock, are perfectly sized for your jar of messages. With exceptional quality, they're great for sending random notes: place one under a glass of wine, underneath the pillow or even under a shoe!

From Jill Starishevsky: Her new book My Body Belongs to Me

Safety Star Media is pleased to announce the publication of My Body Belongs to Me, its much anticipated, critically acclaimed book by New York City child abuse and sex crimes prosecutor Jill Starishevsky.

Using her decade of experience, Ms. Starishevsky has crafted a book that speaks to children - it makes them aware that when it comes to their bodies, there are boundaries. It assures them that it’s OK to tell a parent or teacher if someone touches their “private parts.”

Geared toward children ages 3-10, it tells the story of a child who is touched by an uncle's friend and tells a parent. Children will respond to the rhyming text and bright illustrations. Parents and educators will find it a vital tool to initiate a lifesaving dialogue.

From Wett Giggles: A fun scented soap with scrub brush Valued at $10

This product was inspired by Karen St. Clair's six year old son’s dirty little finger nails. She's into good hygiene and giving her son a fun tool to help with that was her goal.

The Soap and toy concept has been done before but Karen wanted to re- create that concept. So her thinking was to add a nail brush to the soap thus giving a new look to an old idea. All of the Wett Giggles animals have Shakespearean theme names. Why? I loved reading Shakespeare during my school years. There are nine Wett Giggles in total. All but two come with the manicure nail brush. The two without are geared for the 2-3 year olds. I named the product Wett Giggles because of the wet smiles children often get when washing their hands.

A nail brush encased in soap. Wett Giggles a fun sudsy soap that encourages good hygiene. A perfect party gift for kids. Wett Giggles has been awarded a "Favorite Website" by Parenting Magazine.
