Your tot might suddenly become the most popular baby around with the iPlay Baby Activity Pool. It's decked out with tons of toys -- an attachable turtle with jingle ball, a wrap-around baby crab, slide-along flowers that float, a child-safe seashell mirror, and an attachable jingle fish. The friendly looking manta on the top will shade your baby from the sun, but it's just as much fun to play with indoors. Fill it with water or play balls-- either way, other babies will be green with envy.

We couldn't get enough of these zingy little cashews when a tub of them showed up at our offices. Besides being deliciously addictive, they're kind of healthy too -- a quarter-cup serving will give you 3 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein, plus some iron and magnesium, all for 170 calories. Spring for the tub and you can use it as a microwave and dishwasher-safe container when the nuts are gone.

Price: $2.99 for a 3-oz bag; $6.99 for a 9-oz tub

This is no cutesy fairy tale. We love old Mrs. Collywobbles and her very protective pet frog, who guards her house from scary trolls and hungry ogres. Author William Bee's modern illustrations are charming, and there's actually quite a surprising plot twist at the end! It's perfect bedtime reading for mischeivous little giggle goblins.

It used to be impossible to tote cupcakes to a bake sale or classroom party without smashing them together, smearing the icing, and causing one big cupcake mess. Until now, that is. The Cupcake Courier holds up to 36 cupcakes (or muffins) neatly in three tiers so your cupcakes will show up to the party just as pretty as they were when you made them. It gets better: the trays are removable, so you can also tote something larger like a cake (or a casserole). Comes in four colors: Petal Pink, Lemon Grass, Saffron Yellow and Soft Blue Sky.

Put your child's slipping and sliding to a halt with Grippies, rubbery adhesives you can stick on their socks to prevent falls. Iron or stick them on and they'll stay for good, even through the washing machine. But why stop at socks? Stick 'em on the palms of gloves, the knees of your little crawler's pants, or even non-clothing items that you need to stay in place.
