Stocking Stuffer Ideas for the Whole Family

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for the Whole Family

Stocking stuffers are one of my favorite categories to shop for. They’re the fun little delights that no one expects so you can get creative. I’ve rounded up something at every price, between $5-30, for the whole family! ($30 does feel high for a stocking stuffer, but these are more for the adults and older […] Read More

Sophie the Giraffe Alternatives That Aren’t Creepy

Sophie the Giraffe Alternatives

If you’ve had a baby, or know someone who’s had a baby, you’ve likely been introduced to Sophie the Giraffe. Some things that were never on your radar suddenly are EVERYWHERE, and Sophie is one of them. Sophie is a natural rubber teether that has achieved a cult following. Babies can’t seem to get enough. According to Sophie herself, they attribute it to Sophie being soft and chewy all over and her shape that allows babies to teeth their back molars for early and late stage teething. All that’s well and good, but I just can’t get over her eyes. Go look then come back. Now you’re equally haunted. Read More
