The rocking horse snow globe from RedEnvelope has a fairy tale feeling over it. The sweet little spinning rocking horse surrounded by falling snow gives off a nice and calm feeling. Together with “Rock-a-Bye Baby” which the snow globe plays, will bring many a small baby into a world of pleasant dreams.
The silver plated base of the snow globe can be engraved with the child’s name and birthday, which makes it an ideal Christmas or christening gift. Exclusive, personal and very sweet.
Also have a look at the baby cashmere socks and the monogrammed silver heart rattle at the RedEnvelope shop.
Automoblox is not your normal toy car. These cars have a unique, simple and very cool design. They are made out of parts and can be taken apart and put together just like a real car. This allows you to design your own cars by taking existing cars apart, switch the parts around and put new cars together. For this you will of course need more than one of the Automoblox cars. The more cars you have, the more design possibilities you will have.
The body of the Automoblox car is made out of wood and under the hood you find the engine parts. These parts will help you combine any car that 
you would like to make. The engine parts and the car as a whole was made in cooperation with a child psychologist which has resulted in fun toys with a high educational value. Automoblox inspires creative and imaginative playing and helps develop skills as shape recognition, color matching and fine motor skills.
At Automoblox you can see the specifications for all the Automoblox car models. Each car has their own Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) just like real cars. This will surely increase their collectible value and it also allows you to register your cars online! The VIN contains information about your car. It can tell you the make, year, model, color, place of manufacture and what number your car was to roll of the assembly line.
It is possible to buy extra accessories that allows you to make any car into a 6 and 8 wheeler. This makes building Automoblox cars even more fun.
Automoblox has quite an unusual philosophy when it comes to the durability of their toys. It is unusual for mass producing toy companies to want anything other than cheap and effective production. Durability often gets very little attention. Automoblox’s philosophy is to make heirloom toys with a great durability. “It is better to have one great toy instead of 10 cheap ones.”. Automoblox wants children to bond strongly with their toys and hopes that they might want to keep them as they grow up and pass them on to their own kids. All the Automoblox car parts are incredibly strong. The wheels for example are nearly impossible to break. They are literally bulletproof!

Bank In Form Of A Pig, as this beautiful piggy bank is called, is a part of Harry Allan’s first product series Reality.
In the Reality series Allan borrows existing objects, and does so with precision. This very exclusive piggy bank and the rest of the products in Allan’s Reality series are full of details, like the hair on the little piggy, and organic shapes.
The piggy bank can hold more than 10,000 dollars in bills, but I wouldn’t recommend keeping those amounts in it for a longer period of time!
The gold piggy can be purchased at Where Did You Buy That.
If you are interested in special piggy banks you should check out this mechanical bank at Banks Banks Banks. The mechanical bank can be personalized.

These robotic Christmas decorations from Gump’s are inspired by classic science-fiction robots. The first one is kind of like a square version of the Star Wars robot C-3PO, with big red lips and lots of jewels!
Colorful and fun Christmas decorations which will give the Christmas tree a humoristic feel. The decorations are made of glass and hand painted with glittering details all over. I know I would love to decorate a Christmas tree with these guys! I only wish there was a robotic style star to top the tree with.
Gump’s also offerss a limited edition tin dragon suitable for children 10 and older and the musical Ferris Wheel in Victorian style. The Ferris Wheel plays 15 Christmas carols as well as 15 year-round classics. It works like a real Ferris Wheel with both wheels rotating and the arm turning.
