This toy combines two of my 4 year old son’s favorites: water and music. The battery operated Yellow Submarine Bath Radio by Sonar Songs actually floats in the bathtub, according to the manufacturer. The AM/FM radio is protected by yellow rubber, and lets your child “rock out” or “chill out” in the bathtub, depending on his (and your) preferences.

The Yellow Submarine Bath Radio measures 6″ long x 4″ high and comes packaged in a clear gift box. It is designed to be used by kids of any age (with supervision, of course). You can purchase this unique bath toy/radio at KarmaKiss.com for $34.99. I think Santa will be bringing my son one of these!

This is a charming and sweet gift from mother to daughter. This Butterfly Make a Wish Necklace by Dogeared Daughter is a gold dipped butterfly on pink silk thread. The idea is that when the necklace wears off, your daughter’s wish will come true. The packaging also includes a message about Karma: “What goes around, comes around, wear your necklace as a reminder to keep the circle positive, peaceful and loving.”

This would be an appropriate birthday gift from a mother to a daughter of any age. Confidences and secrets between mothers and daughters are so special and so fleeting. Make the most of those special moments with your daughter before they become too “grown-up.”

Toddler boys are so handsome when dressed for the holidays, and nothing sets off a Christmas suit better than a holiday-themed tie.

It comes in sizes from 2T to 4T, and is available at OneOfAKindKid.com for $17.95.

I love simple ideas that make a lot of sense. These Baby Silk Babysafe Sunscreen Towelettes by md moms are a no-fuss way to make sure your baby is safe from the sun. Even when it’s cloudy, the sun’s rays can still have an affect on baby’s sensitive skin. These soft wipes are saturated with a gentle sweat-proof, broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen that’s enriched with Vitamins E and B5, marine silk, aloe and oat to protect, soothe and moisturize baby’s skin. These dermatologist-approved wipes contain enough sunscreen to cover baby from head to toe with no fuss and no mess.
