Necklaces by Sarah Jane Studios

About a month ago Sarah Jane Studios introduced these adorable necklaces!

Sarah's illustrations are beautiful. Lucky us, Sarah is sharing a few of her wonderful images as jewelry for our little ones. 

I just love the Read With Me necklace ($28) because it reminds me of my daughter and her new found love of reading. The necklaces come in your choice of length (14", 15", or 16") and you can add a pearl charm for only $6.

{Psst, these aren't just for little girls, the 16" length would be a great shorter necklace for us too - I'm thinking Green Meadow!}

Fred & Friends Food Face Plate

Lands End Luggage for Kids

 

My friend {and loyal blog reader ♥} Brooke asked me to keep an eye out for kid's luggage. Her children like to have sleepovers with their grandparents but often Brooke is searching for the right sized bag to pack their things for the night. When the new Lands End catalog arrived yesterday and I saw the new line of luggage for kids I had to share it with Brooke!

The duffel bags (pictured above) are $29.50. Find the girls bags here and the boys bags here.

With summer camps, sleepovers, and vacations just a few months away, personalized duffel bags would make great Easter gifts for the older children!

Birthdays, Birthdays, and more Birthdays

Our mailbox has been flooded with birthday invitations in the last week!  I'm not complaining because its so nice knowing we are breaking out of our winter hibernation.  Some of these birthday parties are for school, or ballet, or gymnastics friends that I don't know so well.  Its tough buying a gift for a child you aren't familiar with so I thought I'd share some of my go-to gifts.  Enjoy!

Little Girl Foundation Bracelets - $22 each

All net proceeds of the Foundation Bracelets support ACCION USA, buildOn and Girls Incorporated, which in turn support the Stella & Dot foundation's mission to create positive change for women.  Gotta love a gift that gives twice!  Each bracelet comes in a beautiful tin {for safe keeping when the little girls isn't being stylist}.

Stomp Rocket - under $11

This is not just for boys!  My girls *love* this outside toy, and springtime is a great time to gift this to a little boy or girl on your gift list.

IlluStory Make Your Own Story Kit - under $20

This has been very popular with the children in my daughter's Kindergarten class.  The early school years are a perfect time to encourage creativity as well as working on writing skills.  And the child has a beautiful, real book they made themselves!

My Little Sandbox Big Builder - under $27

I discovered these tabletop sandboxes in THE COOLEST toy store while we were on vacation last month.  I think I'll plan another vacation to the same destination next winter and block off a day just to hang out in the toy store because it was so much fun!  Find more themes here.
