SNAKKES is a wall mounted LED light board that functions as a wall lamp and a notice board. It would be great for the kids room where it could function as a “chalk board”.
SNAKKES is the latest lamp from the Norwegian design collectiv Northern Lighting, and the word “snakkes” actually means “talk to you later” in Norwegian.

So smart, practical, simple and cute! A rocking chair and cradle in one. The dutch Rockid could be a sleep deprived parents best friend.
Instead of sitting beside the cradle rocking it with your hands, you can simply sit in the rocking chair part of the Rockid with one hand on the baby in the cradle part, rocking yourself and the baby to sleep with your feet!
Or…imagine sitting on the front porch reading in the rocking chair, automatically rocking the cradle with your sleeping baby.
This piece of furniture really brings up some romantic images… only one thing I’d like to change about it – I’d love to see some good head support on that rocking chair.
Tha Rockid is made by Dutch Ontwerpduo, and is available at KAIA, for 849.00 EUR.
Tying shoelaces comes easy to some children and for others it’s quite difficult.
We adults often forget how much it means to learn things like tying your laces, and how hard it can be for children that are having difficulties learning it.
Shoes and Laces Wooden Toy is meant to make shoe lacing fun, and might be the exact thing some children need to make them want to learn.
The Shoes and Laces Wooden Toy is available at Linen Kids for 7,50 EUR.

Remember when you were a child and had to write your name in all your schoolbooks? If you’ve saved some of those books you might scoff a bit at the childish handwriting, especially if it was a book you really loved.
My Retro Baby to the rescue! If you have young children already in school or soon to be enrolled you can have them stamp their stuff with these rubber stamps. It looks nicer and is more fun. There are lots of different “faces” available for these stamps, e.g. with glasses, freckles, plaits or afro and you can of course personalize the stamp with the name of your child.
The retro rubber stamps cost $ 24.00.
Wallters The Slat Rack has a beautiful cartoonish- and childish feeling over it.
I love the way the “hooks” looks all randomly placed, and that the shapes of the “hooks” are slightly different from eachother. It makes me think of a cartoon fence.
The Slat Rack is made out of powdercoated steel, and is available in white, orange, green and brown.
It costs 145.00 USD and can be bought in Wallters online shop.

The Teethifier is a new kind of pacifier that reaches the sore gums in the back of the mouth. It looks like something that would work pretty well for sore gums, and something the baby will instantly know how to use, as it still looks like the familiar pacifier.
The Teethifier costs $4.50 and can be bought at Kid Gear.
The new Australian brand Il Tutto has some gorgeous diaper bags and matching accessories. The Il Tutto bags are made in Italian nappa leather and can be recognized on the little leather monster teddy which adorns them.
There are five different models to choose from. All have practical details like a lining that can be zipped of, an insulated bottle holder, a watertight blanket and a clear plastic zip pocket case for wet items.
The diaper bags cost from 299.00 to 449.00 AUD, and can be bought in Il Tuttos web store.
Small things like pacifiers tend to disappear amongst all the necessities lying around at the bottom of the diaper bag, and will be filled with dust when you decide to dig your way down and recover it.
Cry Babyz has made the Paci Pockets to help keep the pacifier clean and at hand at all times. Paci Pockets can be fastened to the diaper bag, handbag, stroller, crib and other places where you’d want to have a pacifier at hand.
I was sent a Paci Pocket to review, and even though I thought the product was very interesting before even getting the sample, I was pleasantly surprised, as the Paci Pockets are of great quality and the product pictures simply does not do them justice. The seams, hook, loop closure and elastic closure all seems like they will last forever.
I received the “Chain Monkey” Paci Pocket, which has a wonderful white fabric with happy monkeys on one side, and a brown dotted pattern on the other side. All Paci Pockets, except the silver- and gold colored once, are made with two different patterns, so that it can be used on both sides. There are many decorative patterns and colors to choose from.
It would be a great idea to use the Paci Pocket as part of a practical christening- og baby gift.
Paci Pockets and Paci Pocket gift sets, including a Cry Babyz pacifier, are available at Cry Babyz for $12.99 and $17.99 each.
