What little boy wouldn’t want this Pirate Treasure Chest by Posh Tots in his room? It’s designed with safety measures to prevent little fingers from being pinched (or worse). The Pirate Treasure Chest has a supportive lid and cut-outs to prevent this from happening. On the inside, there’s plenty of room for his favorite toys and dividers to help keep things in order.

The dimensions of this chest are 32.5″L x 20″H x 20″W. You can view this item up close at poshtots.com and purchase it for $168.

The Natural Love Heat Storage Lamb has a cherry-stone pouch in a velcro closure tucked inside. You take the stone and heat it in the microwave and then put it back inside the lamb. It will provide warmth and comfort for your child as he sleeps. Cherry pits are an ideal natural subtance for retaining heat or cold without synthetics.

The lamb, made by Sigikid, consists of organic cotton on the otuside and is stuffed with soft organic lamb’s wool. It’s also machine washable (just remember to remove the cherry stone pouch first). What a lovely baby shower gift or holiday gift that is sure to be admired, loved, and appreciated. Visit KangarooBoo.com to view this item, priced at $45.99.

I like the natural look of these Perf Boxes (Set of 4) from Offi. These storage cubes remind me a little of fruit crates.They’re made from smooth birch ply with brey steel legs and are designed by Erick Pfeiffer in Corning, New York for Offi. What’s appealing to me about this set is that you can stack them in the corner and use them for shelving, line them up along the wall as a low bookcase, or as room dividers, toy boxes, shoe cubbies, night stands, the list goes on and on.

The dimensions of each box is 12.5d x 12w x 14h, and 13d x 13w x 65h if you stack them. Visit the Web site at oompa.com to view this set, which costs $498.99 but is temporarily out of stock until early 2009. The built in quality of these Perf Boxes will pay for itself over the years of use and versatility.

I have learned from experience that having storage for children works best when it’s easily accessible to a child. If a child has to open a drawer, open a closet door, hang up anything or fold anything, she usually won’t do it. The item will end up on the floor.

The Jax Organic Storage Tower from Nest is a great option. It’s a fun design and color for your child’s room and can fit in almost any corner. The dimensions are W 14.5 x H 40 x D 16in. Of course, this Storage Tower can be used for just about any storage need in your home, from the cradle to the college dorm room. As I look at the picture I’m thinking, socks, tees, shorts. But it can just as easily be used for diaper supplies or toys (legos, soft toys, action figures).

If you’re already thinking of Christmas gifts for your daughter, granddaughter or niece, you might like to consider this Janie Jewelry Box Collection by Pottery Barn Kids. Each piece comes in a  high-gloss finish. The vanity and chest both have a mirror and ring rolls, and the chest features a ballerina twirling to “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.” The small table box has a flip-top lid and one drawer. This collection is actually designed to match Pottery Barn Kids’ Janie collection of furniture.

Having a special place to store her jewelry and special trinkets will make them even more special and give your little girl the opportunity to learn how to care for her things. That won’t be too difficult, however, with this miniature furniture set that’s as much fun to look at and play with as it is functional. Visit PotteryBarnKids.com where you can purchase each piece separately. Prices range from $24.99 to $54.99 (on sale).

Here is a product that serves two purposes–it offers your child a comfortable place to sit, and helps to keep toy clutter at bay.  Add to that a clean, unique, modern design, and you have a great little seat in the Roll-Top Chair by Offi.

The chair is made from solid wood and is available in several different colors.  I love this deep shade of red.  This would be great for a child’s bedroom or playroom, but wouldn’t be out of place in a more grown up setting, such as a living room, either.

If you are up for the $168 price, you can purchase one at mod + mini.
