So, we all know that one of the best (and cutest) games on mobile devices these days is Rovio’s Angry Birds. Not only is the game ever-expanding, they make kick-ass seasonal versions (did you SEE the valentine’s day edition? Cupid piggies!!)…
Etsy has to be one of the coolest places for gift giving — simply because most of the offerings on the site are handcrafted and one-of-a-kind. But, with this endless trove of offerings, a bushy-eyed shopper can quickly get dissuaded by too much good stuff…
We heart Areaware, the artist collective based in New York. And on their roster of crazy cool product designers is Ross Menuez, who’s been popping up on our radar time and again. Menuez loves any vehicle that can carry a graphic and he’s decorated clothing, bags, accessories, plush toys and pillows…
When it comes to plushes, we take our cues from little baby Lir and ever since she was born a short 10 months ago our niece has been inseparable from her Jellycat Bunglie Pig. They’ve shared long, one-sided conversations of monosyllabic utterances, afternoon snoozefests and, well, just everything. Through thick and thin, Bunglie Pig has been the soft and silent companion of our pink-cheeked Lirskie.
Our baby niece Lir is pretty much the apple of YZ’s and my eye, making it hard to resist buying her every little cute thing that we come across. But, when we stumbled upon a beautiful striped bunny by Tel Aviv label Timo in a boutique in Jaffa, we just had to add the critter to Lir’s collection of toys. Totally in line with Lir’s parent’s philosophy of hugging (not mugging) the earth, each toy is…
So, you might say it’s far from wool-wearing weather, what with NYC temperatures up in the 90’s, but with every store, theater, and restaurant cranking the AC like they’re charged with re-freezing the glaciers, it’s comforting to have a little fuzzy critter to curl up with at the end of the day (or a cute scarf to wrap around your little one’s neck to keep the summer sniffles away!)…
Guilt-free and incredibly cute, these plushy renditions of roadkill by Roadkill Toys are irresistibly wrong-yet-right. The squashed raccoon, rabbit, and hedgehog come packaged in a hilarious transparent bodybag with oodles of organs ready to spew out of their zippered abdomen. Hell, there’s even an adorable toe tag!!! These guys are truly to die for (sorry — couldn’t help myself)…
There’s something timelessly sweet (and very Dutch) about the snuggly collection of dolls, critters, and baby accessories by Esther Schuivens. Her brand, Esthex, was born one afternoon after discovering her childhood toys while sleuthing around her parents’ attic. The designer’s use of gingham, stripes, felt, cotton rope, and old-school hardware are a pleasant departure from the hi-tech plasticy toys of today. Lo’s favorite: the Gilbert Rattle!
As promised, here’s a quick intro to all the cuteness that can be found at Poketo’s online shop. From fuzzy bear post-its and mustachioed pen pal cards to day planners, checklists, and travel journals, if you’re one of those crazies that spends her Saturdays roaming the aisles of Office Depot (yeah? so?) then Poketo will be sure to fill some stationary void on your desk!
VIGO: Ever wonder what a ray of light looks like? What for the embodiment of good and honisty takes? Only the third floor ceiling separates Vigo from heaven. He is the son every mother would wish for her daughter. Vigo frees whales, swims with wolves, and teaches jellyfish not to sting…

Hanpanda, created by Japanese pop artist Nagi Noda, is every split personality sufferer’s best plushie friend! There are over 100 collectible toys, each a 50/50 hybrid between a panda and one of his animal kingdom friends – there’s even a Panda-Hello Kitty blend…
