www.signals.com, I think. The whole catalog is online.

Alas, cannot think of anything especially clever in other areas. You're usually the one reccing things to ME. :))

Date: 2004-11-11 12:48 pm (UTC)also the white around-the-back-of-your-head headphones are a nice $50 alternative to the iPod earbuds.
and, um, i just got a mr coffee burr grinder that's really nice. never underestimate the power of the smell of freshly-ground coffee.
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, too, goes on the rec-list.
and Scala (http://www.kolacny.com/), the belgian girls' choir, singing modern pop/rock songs, like kylie and the divinyls and other really pretty stuff gets a really big thumbs up. its a more actually-listenable alternative to the langley schools project (http://www.keyofz.com/keyofz/langley/).
and, um, any local-made baby/babymama stuff, like this (http://www.austinmama.com/mamasshop.htm) gets a big thumbs up in my book.
recs whee!

Date: 2004-11-11 03:18 pm (UTC)Triple Paste diaper ointment
Date: 2004-11-11 03:33 pm (UTC)She would fuss when we sat her in the high chair. Then my friend and pediatrician recommended Triple Paste. She told me most places do not stock it but you can ask for it at the pharmacy. No prescription necessary.
Wonderful! Outstanding! It was miraculous!

I always give it with any baby shower gift.

Date: 2004-11-11 09:03 pm (UTC)I'm always very fond of lanterns - I have a lot of fun with those and candles - it creates a lovely atmosphere.
I also like Kerastase hair products...
Anything to soak your feet and give a massage - the feet soaker things that you can get at Target or Bed Bath and Beyond...etc. Good for sore feet...
I'll add more if I think of more. :)

Date: 2004-11-17 11:04 am (UTC)As a Floridian, I work at staying light-colored to not have make-up undermine it. {chuckle} Though, it does make it problematic to find the right shade.
