This fun backpack from Zid Zid kids is a practical gift idea for a little guy on the go. Many kids are fascinated by planes and other mechanical gadgets, and this plane-shaped bag is a great way to carry around toy cars, daily necessities, or other treasures. The metallic vinyl and brightly colored accents make it attractive and hip. It closes with a zipper for easy access. You can purchase one of these handmade bags for $52 at theredballoon.com.

My baby has recently outgrown all of her Trumpette baby socks, which makes me quite sad. They are as cute as can be, and they actually stay on little feet. Although the company has expanded into the toddler market, they don’t yet have as manby styles in larger sizes. I am quite taken with the company’s new infant metallic maryjanes, which celebrate Trumpette’s 20-year anniversary. The set includes a pair each in gold, silver, red, lavender, green, and fuschia. These will be perfect for the holidays! You can purchase this special set for $29.50 at Trumpette.com. I am hoping they’ll expand these to toddler sizes soon!

If you like new twists on simple, classic looks, you might be interested in these infant flats from Burberry.  Designed in a classic ballet style, but made from gold metallic leather, these shoes are a classic with a bit of an edge.  Each toe sports a bow made from the classic Burberry check.  They are certainly cute, and the elasticized sides help to keep the shoes in place on the busiest of feet.

These Burberry Gold Metallic Infant Flats  are available in either 6-9 mos or 12 mos sizes.  You can purchase a pair for your little one for $90 at neimanmarcus.com.

If your baby is teething, you know how important it is to have a safe teether around when you need it.  That is the idea behind these great necklaces from Smart Moms.  Already embraced by celebrity parents such as Denise Richards and Tori Spelling, these necklaces look great–you would never guess that the “stones” are actually cleverly-disguised teethers.

I really like the look of this gold metallic version, which will be released soon (its estimated release date is 9/22/08).  You can purchase one for a very reasonable $19.10 at smartmomjewelry.com.  Best of all the mom-founded company gives a portion of its profits to charity.
