Move over Silly Bandz! Tribandz are a cute new bracelet with interchangeable (and super cute!) little disks called Tibbz. Available in colors from Passion Purple to Mean Green, your kids will have fun swapping out Animalz and Holidayz Tibbs for Rainbowz and Flowerz Tibbz. And affordably priced at $3.99 for a Tribandz and a package of five Tibbz for $2.99, we sense the next big It Toy coming.
 We've all been there: You're hoisting your toddler up to the bathroom sink so that she can wash her hands. Thing is, kids can get heavy after awhile, and they sure are squirmy, too.
That's why we love Aqueduck (12.99, peachyco.com). It is a faucet extender that brings the water closer to your little one's hands. It fits most conventional faucets and is available in aqua and pink (it even comes with a free sticker!)
Now that makes hand hygiene just ducky.
 We can think of no better way to bond with your baby-on-the-way than by using Bellybuds. Meant to be used as a way for Baby to "hear" in the womb, Bellybuds attach safely to the Mommy-to-be's belly via reusable and skin-safe hydrogel adhesive rings. The volume is at a fixed, maximum sound so Baby can hear but not feel like he's at a rock concert in utero! Although you can connect Bellybuds to your iPod or MP3 player so you -- and Baby! -- can rock out together.
 And by using Bellybuds VoiceShare®, far-flung friends and family (i.e. if Dad is serving in the military overseas) can record messages for free for the baby-to-be to hear. By using Bellybuds, Baby will already be familiar with the voices of people who love him (like Grandma Susie and Grandpa Fred who live in Florida!) when he is born.
Bellybuds is the bellychild of Curtis Williams, who is married to Parks and Recreation star Jama Williamson.
The Bellybuds Deluxe Package retails for $49.99. For more info, please visit www.bellybuds.com.

And with so many fantastic adventures to choose from, the hardest thing will be deciding which to watch first!
 Anyone who has ever tried to change their baby outside knows that it's no easy feat. Luckily the Plush Pad by Ah Goo Baby ($29.95) beautifully meets function with fashion. More than just a changing pad, the Plush Pad has a multi-purpose memory foam surface that helps relax Baby while changing her. It is temperature friendly (no more cold changing tables in public bathrooms!), super portable, machine washable and water-resistant. And the Plush Pad can be used for Baby's tummy time as well as quick changes. It comes in a variety of lovely fabrics (our fav was Vintage in Blue, pictured above). It's simply a must-have for all parents.
 If you're looking to add some spooktacular effects to your office for Halloween, look no further. The Spider Glow In The Dark Computer Mouse from Gadgets and Gear ($26) is super cool...and super creepy, too. A real non-living spider (don't ask us how they got it in there) is inside the mouse, which glows with different colors and also glows in the dark. The mouse is very pleasant to hold, and works well. We loved it, and it was a big hit with the kids who used it, too. A definite must-have for your Halloween.
 Forget about Monopoly and Candy Land. Chicken Soup For The Soul: Count Your Blessings Game is an amazing board game to play with your fam... and make you realize what an awesome life you truly have! Billed as "the game with an attitude of gratitude", the board game helps players find the silver lining in every situation and become happier, more grateful individuals. Even if you're a glass-half-empty kind of person, you'll surely get a laugh from seeing your family members don the "Look On The Bright Side" glasses. Many of the scenarios on the game cards (which range from "Thank Tank" to "Attitude of Gratitude") subtlety teach players how to look on the bright side, no matter what life throws at you. After you play the Count Your Blessings Game, you're sure to have shared many laughs and bonded with your family, which, after all, is the biggest blessing of all.
 Let's face it: Grilling is a man's sport. But now, grilling has gotten a whole lot cuter with Grill Charms. Placed in your food before grilling, the dime-sized stainless steel charms can help you identify who gets the medium-rare steak, or the hot and spicy chicken breast. The Grill Charms are sold separately ($4.00/1 charm) or in a six-pack ($19.95) featuring such collections as Steak, Spicy, Charmed Life and Pink (our personal girly-girl favorite!). And it makes a perfect Father's --and Mother's!-- Day gift. We're officially obsessed.
 Mediocre cupcakes, step aside. Cupcake guru Crumbs has come out with its latest creation, the Tony Hawk SkateCake. We'll admit it: This cupcake is so deliciously superior to every other cupcake out there. It starts off simple enough: a chocolate cupcake with a yummy vanilla cream cheese frosting. But the ingredients are super fresh (even the sprinkles are soft and delish!) that you'll find yourself licking the cupcake wrapper. Sold in Crumbs' Signature 4.25" size, you can easily share this cupcake with your own Sweetie and still be decadently satiated. And the edible sugar Tony Hawk skateboard on top (yes, the man himself designed the cupcake) is perfect for your own little skater boy.
