Yay, it is here! Whether you've got expectant or new mom friends or if you're pregnant, you will want to bookmark Cool Mom Picks' brand spankin' new Ultimate Baby Shower Gift Guide.

You've Got Mail.

CEO — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 15:39:20 -0800

Correspondence used to be a craft that was intimate, intentional and written in perfect penmanship. Mothers from generations past insisted that traditional, mailed notes were the best way to communicate any sentiment, but in this busy day and age where parents work, carpool, referee and travel, paper has become almost obsolete.

Made With Love.

CEO — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 12:20:13 -0800

Sometimes, a kid needs to know his mom has his back. And, while a
homemade peanut butter sandwich with the crusts cut off really sticks
to those school-age ribs and show you care since you remembered to cut
them off in the first place, a positive message will stay with them
longer – and teach them something in the process.

Color Me Glad.

CEO — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 12:47:24 -0800

Kids grow and go through clothes like Kleenex, seemingly blowing through clothing budgets like Suri Cruise.

Me & Ro Rocks.

CEO — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 13:50:16 -0800

If it’s exorbitant and indulgent bauble-type gifts you seek, look no further than the children’s collection at Me & Ro, a luxe, trendy New York-based jewelry designer with a celebrity clientele that reads like Oprah’s address book.

Monster Mash.

CEO — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:23:57 -0800

Did you know that 73% of children ages 4-12 are afraid of things that go bump in the night? Whether it’s hidden dangers under the bed, unknowns in the closet or simply something unsavory lurking in the shadows, most kids (and some of us, too) have been there at some point or another.

We Love Project Night Night.

CEO — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:58:32 -0800

Sleep is like Superman’s kryptonite - it gives bodies and brains a chance to renew, regroup and recharge their energy.

Chain Reaction.

CEO — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:04:23 -0800

While Blu-Ray players and Crock Pots might save well-deserving moms some precious minutes this season, consider gifting something she can keep close to her heart year round.

Thanks-for-Giving.

CEO — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:18:56 -0800

The annual march of the Pilgrims is upon us, and though the general theme is turkey, turkey and more turkey, Thanksgiving means more than eating until your pants pop.

Save Face.

CEO — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:01:46 -0800

Helen of Troy might have had the face that launched a thousand ships, but had she been around today, The Skinny would definitely have helped her amass a face-worshipping flotilla.

Package Perfect.

CEO — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 04:33:46 -0700

When it comes to wrapping gifts, everyone aspires to mesh Martha Stewart’s signature handcrafted style with Oprah’s opulent, over-the-top taste.

Trashy is So Last Year.

CEO — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:03:57 -0700

Packing school lunches is part and parcel of the parenting process. But, for as much love that goes into making that peanut butter and jelly sandwich with the crusts cut off, an equal amount of plastic is also going into landfills.

Common Cents.

CEO — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:31:01 -0700

Downsizing, budget cuts, and daily brouhaha surrounding the country’s economic crisis is old hat for adults, but for children who don’t have jobs to hold down, families to feed or expenses to worry about, the idea of tightening belts when expecting the usual allowance is about as out there as healthcare reform or foreign policy.

Sniff it Out.

CEO — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:16:25 -0700

Trying to keep track of magazine subscriptions, renewals and offers is about as easy as herding cats. Thanks to Maghound, however, you can choose the magazines you want delivered to your door.

Back to School is in the Bag.

CEO — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:14:06 -0700

August somehow snuck up on us, and with the end of summer comes the start of school. The kids might have sour expressions initially, but they will start to smile when they receive autumn duds, educational gadgets, and the promise of a fresh start.
