• Holiday Stamp and Wrap Kit

  

  Did you seriously buy wire-trimmed shaping ribbon and double-sided sticky tape so the tape doesn’t show when you wrap your gifts? Honey, put a little rum in your cider and let your kids make the gift wrap this year.

• Pink Striped Ribbon Belt

  

  Sheila Sheffler de la Cruz wrote in to say: “I just bought a great and very styley product for my almost-3-year-old twins. They’re called Myself Belts and they are quite amazing. I got the Beep Beep for my son and pink ribbon for my daughter and they love them, and can actually use them themselves for easy potty-ing once Daddy or I first install them in the morning. I had been frustrated at trying to find pants that fit just right, especially for my tall and skinny son, and the belts available in most stores either drooped down (slide close) or were impossible for him (buckle close). This is just the ticket.” I agree. You just snap one end on through a belt buckle loop, and your kids fasten and unfasten the belts using a Velcro closure. Clever.

• Solar Powered Helicopter

  

  You set this little helicopter in the sun, and the propeller spins on its own. It comes in several colors and doesn’t actually fly, so your china is safe. Thanks, Robert Yang!
