Evenflo Snugli Comfort Vent Soft Carrier, Gray/Aruba
I love this carrier. I've used it with three kids now, and it is still in great condition. It isn't nearly as expensive as some of the other brands. My kids were always happy to go in it, so I assume it was as comfortable for them as it was for me.

This is a great sandbox. Easilly fits two preschoolers. We've had it for a couple of years now, and the fading is minimal considering it stays out all year round. The only issues I have is that the lid blows away a few times a year. This could be remedied by putting a cord around it when the winds are high.
My kids have a great time playing in it whenever the weather permits. It's a great size and prize for a family's backyard.

I bought this for my baby because it was on sale. The price point was great, but the singing owl didn't work from the start. We returned it, and we found the same problem with the other. Rather than take it back a second time, we decided to just cut it open and replace the batteries (your only option for replacing batteries on the owl) After our little "operation" it worked fine for a month or so before it stopped working again.
The rest of the mat is great. The colours are beautiful and work well in a little girl's room. The toys are very simple teether/rattle style ones, and there is a mirror that my daughter enjoyed as well. It folds up flat to fit under a crib or a couch and be pulled out with only a quick twist of the wrist for set-up.
Aside from the malfunctioning owl I would recommend this as a playmat.

Lego City Advent Calendar
My kids love these. I think the price point is high on a "per piece" basis, but the fun is spread out over 24 days. We add the pieces to our Lego Christmas village each year, and as far as decorations go, the price isn't too bad.

Every time I was pregnant I swore I was going to buy one of these, and finally I bought one for my third baby. Boy do I wish I'd bought one of these earlier. They are great for teething. My daughter loves to hold it and chew the beads. She'll also chew it while I'm wearing it and play with it while nursing. It is great for when I'm going out as I don't have to worry about forgetting a teether or toy for her. By wearing it I can prevent having other people pick up teethers she throws on the ground and hand them back to her. Yes, the saliva-covered necklace hanging around my neck may not be the height of sanitation either, but much better than something repetitively tossed on the floor.
Some of the colours are particularly nice and can actually stand on their own as a necklace if you like chunky jewelery.

Vtech baby shake & sing elephant rattle
My daughter loves this rattle. Its clicking ears are always a good distraction for her. The only complaint I have is that it is quite loud and ought to have a volume switch.

I love Philosophy shower gels and haunt Sephora waiting for the Christmas scents to become available. My kids were especially fond of the candy cane scent. Nothing like a bubble bath that is both relaxing and invigorating with the smell of peppermint. I found it was a nice pick-me-up in the morning shower as well. Philosophy shower gels may seem expensive, but they go a long way and are great quality. This is a splurge that is worth every penny. -

I love Philosophy Shampoo, Shower Gels, and Body Baths. I used them as body wash, bubble bath, a face wash, and in a pinch, shampoo. Usually the scents are absolutely amazing. I have to admit that I wasn't thrilled with the scent of this one. Like some other reviewers have commented, mine had an odd plastic smell which was unusual for a Philosophy product. I had just purchased mine, but I suppose it could possibly have been old stock. It still cleans well and bubbles well, but the scent is just a little off. I like it, but I can't quite love it. -
