How about taking a page out of one of their favorite books? Sandra Boynton isn’t just sharing her kooky characters via books and CDs these days.

She’s also got a jewelry line courtesy of Dallas Pridgen Jewelry, and in honor of the holidays they’ve got a Boynton reindeer pendant – complete with a bright red nose.

Get him in sterling silver for just $89 (and handle sharing with the toddler) or splurge big time just for Mom and go for the gold at $445. Then join in a carol of Moo, Baa, La, La, La until Santa drops in.

Here the little fashionista holds a Manuella Doggy Backpack that can be used as a bag, backpack and also can fit on the back of a stroller. This cute corduroy and denim bag is available here for $48.

Babble took the Baby Anchovy (the kids version of their Seedybar messenger back pack) out for a test drive with a four-year-old tester offering up her back for the task.

The result: the bag is easier to handle for tots thanks to a lid that flips down and buckles shut rather than the traditional zipper closure that can easily get caught up on their stuff. The buckles were a bit hard to handle the first few times – it takes a good squeeze from Mom’s hands – but they loosened up. Adjustable back straps made for a good fit to reduce back strain, and the inside was surprisingly roomy (although a few extra pockets on the inside would have been nice) with two slots on the outside for water bottle or found treasure.

The Baby Anchovy gets bonus points for the reflector strips running along its back – vital for walks off the bus after Daylight Savings time has ended. Not part of the kid design, but kid-friendly nevertheless is the Crumpler logo – our tester described as a “kid with crazy hair who makes me laugh.”

Get the Baby Anchovy from Crumpler for $55.

This Tuxedo Thermal top from Baby Eggi is a pretty looking undergarment. The ruffles add the extra style which makes it worthwhile to keep around to wear in warmer weather.

It’s made of 100% cotton and available in two colors, ivory and light pink. Sizes go all the way from infant to 5T.

The price of $30 reflects the quality of this top. I think it’s very sweet and well made. To buy it, go to babyeggi.com.

Jessica Alba’s daughter Honor hit the newsstand the other day, perhaps seeing the newest paparazzi pics of her very photogenic family. And just in case there are paps around, Honor is always dressed for her close up, from head to toe. And in this case, she shoes off her sweet feet with a pair of Silver Mary Janes by Sweet Shoes which are available here for $29.

Katherine Heigl doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve, she wears it around her neck. The actress took daughter Naleigh to her sister’s baby shower the other day.

My daughter loves to count down until holidays.  For most months and holidays, we have some sort of countdown calendar.  This advent calendar is one of a kind, and a great way to count down until Christmas.  I know it would be a huge hit in my house. Whether you celebrate the religious aspects of Christmas or not, pulling the drawers out each day would be a such a treat!
