    YETI Rambler Stackable Mug

    Amy S.:  As far as I’m concerned, an insulated, spill proof mug is essential for moms on morning duty. This mug is the best; the insulated design keeps your coffee hot for a long time and the “magslider” lid means you can close up the top and prevent spills by little ones. But the shape and size of the mug still feels comfortable and, for lack of a better word, homey (unlike some of the monstrous insulated travel mugs I’ve seen). I use mine every. Single. Morning. In fact, I never drink from any of our other mugs anymore. And to top it off (pun intended), it’s dishwasher safe.

    Funktional Wearables Fitbit Jewelry

    Wireless Color Photo Printer

    Molly Weber:  Ok, so we all know that it's not very expensive to send photos out to be printed and picked up or shipped to your house. However, somehow I still find myself looking at picture frames around my house that haven't been updated in years. These printers would allow you to easily and immediately print photos right from your smartphone (check for compatibility) and update your picture frames in minutes!

    Only Love Today: Reminders to Breathe More, Stress Less, and Choose Love

    Erin P.:  This is a great book with small (totally manegable!) reflections about managing life, love and daily stresses. Rachel Macy Stafford guides the reader toward realizing 'hey I'm not perfect, but I always have the choice to respond with love.' This seems like a great gift for the "new mom" who already has a tot or two (or more!) under her wing and is trying to figure out how to "do it all."
