TOP 10 GIFTS FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES
#1 CUSTOM SUPERHERO CAPES by Baby Leo Designs of San Francisco are showstoppers. Choose from ready-made designs or special order a CUSTOM INITIAL cape, allowing you to personalize an initial and your superhero's favorite colors.
#2 GREEN TOYS Recycling Truck or Tea Set are both ideal gifts for the 2 to 5 year old. Made just outside San Francisco from curbside-recycled milk jugs, Green Toys is a stand-out among toy manufacturers for turning trash to treasure.
#3 OAKLAND TEE Share your love for Oakland with friends near or far. We've got Hella Love Oakland, Oaklandish, and the BART ticket tee for baby to kids size 10 to adult women's.
#4 SMARTLAB New to the shop are hands-on kits for older kids, including a CUPCAKE DECORATING SET, ROCKET RACER, and THE HUMAN BODY. Offered by San Francisco's Chronicle Books.
#5 BLEUE COMME UNE ORANGE offers dressier options for older girl and boys on your list. French-styled dresses and separates are made in San Francisco and designed by Berkeley mom Sarah Salters, who teaches at Ecole Bilingue.
#6 TEA For baby playclothes that look pulled-together, you can't go wrong with these locally-designed dresses and tops in modern prints for baby girl, dragon and robot graphic tees and pants for baby boy.
#7 AUTOMOBLOX Well-made wooden modular cars will entice kids and adults. Full size comes with people and more parts, or choose a mini for portable fun. Take 'em apart, mix 'em up, combine more than one to make your own stretch-limo vehicle of your imagination. The sportscar is our best seller.
#8 SEE KAI RUN These are the must-have shoes for babies to preschoolers: unbeatable styling and quality. Who wouldn't want a pair of comfortable pink ankle straps?
#9 UGLYDOLLS Rounding out the list with classics loved by babies and adults (and canines), don't forget these so-odd-they're-cute characters in a rainbow of colors and quirky personalities (just like us!).
#10 NIKKI MCCLURE Have you seen our shrine to all things Nikki? We just brought in posters by this Olympia, Washington papercut artist and mother to add to our usual collection of books and cards. It's affordable art for kids and adults.
Blessings to you and your family,
Mae and Mary
