Description: Expectant moms do everything they can to create the best start for their growing baby, from prenatal vitamins to playing Mozart. Now moms can truly give their babies a head start with BabyPlus (www.babyplus.com) –the first prenatal education system. The BabyPlus System introduces patterns of sound in the only language a developing baby can understand—the maternal heartbeat. As the baby differentiates the simple rhythmic sounds of BabyPlus from those of the mother’s heartbeat, learning begins! Many parents use music and spoken words to stimulate the growing baby, but music is too complicated for the developing baby to process and the spoken word is muffled. The mother’s heartbeat is the only sound a growing baby can comprehend, making BabyPlus the most developmentally appropriate form of learning in the womb —and the perfect gift for a mom-to-be.

Description: The Magic Sleepsuit is an innovative baby sleepwear product that was gifted to over 60 celebrity mom and dads at the 2009 Pre-Golden Globe Awards Boom Boom Room Gifting Suite. The Magic Sleepsuit provides babies with a cozy and calming sleep environment and is designed for babies who have become too big for swaddling, yet need that warmth and contained feeling to aide in their sleep. The Magic Sleepsuit is better than a sleep sack because not only does it provide the warmth of a wearable blanket, it also eliminates the need to layer the baby in multiple layers of clothing, helps keep the baby on its back longer (the prefered sleep position by First Candle/SIDS Alliance and American Academy of Pediatrics), and provides fabric weight to help the baby sleep better and longer. Even if the baby sleeps well, it is a wonderful gift to replace loose blankets and provide a cozy and secure sleep environment. It can also be worn in a car seat, which makes for easier travel when you need to transfer a sleeping baby from the car directly to the crib. The Magic Sleepsuit was created by a mom and pediatric physical therapist. The Magic Sleepsuit is available from the company web site www.magicsleepsuit.com and comes in two sizes (small and large) and three colors (pink, blue, and yellow).

Description: The Good Nite Lite is a behavioral modification device that uses visual cues to help teach young children when the appropriate time is to get out of bed in the morning-- allowing Mom and Dad to get an extra hour or so of much needed rest. The Good Nite Lite (www.GoodNiteLite.com) features a friendly, glowing caricature face that changes from a Moon to a Sun at the programmed “wake-up” time and from a Sun to a Moon at the programmed “bedtime.” With the help of their parents (or grandparents), children rapidly come to associate the moon image with the knowledge that it is still bedtime and the sun with the idea that it is the correct time to wake up. During the day, the Good Nite Lite automatically shuts off to eliminate any distractions and to conserve energy.

Description: Tired of the same old office routines? Then it’s time to blast away the doldrums and liven up the staff with the Executive Marshmallow Blaster. The pump-action Blaster fires large marshmallows (one at a time) approximately 30 feet at the target of choice. Make your point by firing marshmallows at employees, or better yet, the boss – if you have the aim and nerve. Ready, aim, and don’t get fired. Also available in Classic blue and red or Camo finish. Since marshmallows can get gooey and messy, the company designed each product part that comes into contact with the ammo to be either dishwasher safe or handwash in hot water for easy cleaning. The company was started by moms and dads, so safety is extremely important to them. The founders tapped into Mitchell’s expertise to ensure kids can’t get hurt playing with the marshmallow shooters. The lung-powered blower is designed so that a child can’t inhale a marshmallow from either end. The shooters won’t blast anything that can’t compress and then regain its shape, like a rock, stick or stale marshmallow, only something soft like a marshmallow. Finally, they designed the blaster so that the air bursts out of the muzzle’s sides and not just the front, so kids can’t hurt themselves by shooting at close range.
