Melissa&Doug Birthday cake

London has had this play Birthday Cake Set for 3 years, and it has remained one of her very favorite toys.

 Made of high quality wooden pieces, the cake slices, candles, and 'yummy' toppings all velcro together for easy pull-apart-put-back-together fun.

Classic Fisher Price Record Player

Do you remember winding your little 'record player' and listening to 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' for hours on end?  I do.  Back then, the records seemed so archaic compared to the awesome cassette tapes we used.  And now I look at this and they look more like CD's than records.  And now CD's seem so archaic.  Did I mention that I feel archaic?  I do.  Archaic.  FREAKING OLD.  

And I love this little remake of my old toy, if only for the memory of youthfulness it brings to mind.

Uglydolls

I love me some ugly!!  These dolls are so ugly, they're cute.  I just want to hold them and love them and squeeze them and have them for my very own. And check out this hat:

 Super adorable, right?

These would be cute for a girl, for a boy, a baby, for any fun-loving adult, or even as a pet toy.   They cost $10-25. Not too ugly a price, eh?  Available at uglydolls.com
