These small felt animals by PetitFelts won my heart.

The Stampville rubber stamp set has what it takes to make your little ones feel like budding architects. Definitely marking this one as a fun birthday gift.
Sugru is one of the most magical materials I have ever come across. Think of it as Play-doh and Superglue having a baby. And I love how they keep sharing ideas on how to use it in your home. It’s my go-to way to fix my iPhone cables.
Also, I highly recommend the Sugru founder’s 99u talk, if you haven’t seen it!
I get weirdly excited about decorating my Easter Eggs with Tattly. I remember the first time I did it in 2013 and it was a big hit with big and small.

Last week this little family adopted a rescue cat from an ASPCA shelter in Manhattan. While we are still trying to figure out a name (most difficult process in history) the cat is super happy and so are my kids. And I have discovered pet accessories. What a huge market! Can we talk about this felted cat bed. Made me smile.
