Baby Einstein Deluxe Gift Basket!

Okay... I love making my own gift baskets, especially ones with a theme. Some pre-arranged gift baskets can be kind of lame... but not this one. When I worked at a preschool, I used to have a shift or two a week in the infant and toddler room. Baby Einstein was fairly new to the mainstream back then and I was instantly impressed and in love. So, this basket would be a fantastic baby shower gift. It includes: Touch and Discover Giant Board Book, Baby Einstein Keepsake Handprint Tin, Nature Discovery Gift Cards, Baby's First Moves DVD, Baby Einstein Animal Discovery Washmitt, Baby Einstein Link Set, Baby Einstein Plush Caterpillar Ring Rattle, Baby Newton Touch & Discover Pal, and Pinwheel Keepsake Bucket. Be the hit of the party and get this for $149.00 at thefrogandtheprincess.com.

More Pricetastic Luxuries from BonPoint

I've said it once and I'll say it again... BonPoint can do no wrong. This wool coat is no exception.... it is actually half yak/half laine. Laine is French for wool. No I did not google that (...............I googled that). It is double-breasted and has a little pompom that you can either throw over the back or let hang in the front. The cost of this veste francaise? A whopping $295.00.

Very Expensive Baby Sweats

Now I am all about sweats. I mean who isn't? Especially nowadays that they are socially acceptable to wear to the store, the bank... within reason of course. And some people pay insane amounts of money for their sweats. I could buy $7.00 purple sweatpants from Wal-Mart and sew "LOVE PINK" across the back... but that goes against the principle of the whole thing. So what about insanely expensive baby sweats? Examples are above: Roberto Cavalli Baby for $369.00 and below: Dior Baby for $349.00. So much money for a lot of cotton and polyester blend. I wish my name was so famous that I could sell a sweat suit for 8000 times its production cost, just because it's stamped with JennaLou. See these and more crazy luxuries at lavishkids.com.

Dolce & Gabbana Pony Skin Baby Bag...

I just don't know what to make of this... I love animals, but I am not a PETA activist. I eat hamburgers (not just organic hamburgers, but gross hamburgers from fast food restaurants on occasion) but do not buy any animal skin/fur/whatever products. Mainly because I cannot afford them, but even if I could, I think they are kind of gross. I donate to the humane society, I have a cat that if anyone hurt a hair on her adorable head I would do very bad things to them. I love animals. So a baby bag made of 100% leather pony skin? I am not going to knock anyone who has one because if you like this kind of thing, I am okay with that. It's just not my bag... no pun intended. But could you guiltlessly teach your baby that a horsey says "neigh neigh" when you just pulled that animal sounds picture book out of a bag made of a baby horse? Maybe I am the only person who thinks of weird things like this. See this bag for $1520.00 at childrensalon.com.

Fendi Baby Cashmere Blanket

Designer baby blankets are kind of an anomaly for me. When I was little, I had multiple blankets. They all had names, but the only name I can remember was that of my favorite pink blanket that I randomly called Annie. When I did something good, I got a new blanket. I may or may not still sleep with my first blanket ever (knitted by my grandmother that I came home from the hospital in) to this day. I took my blankets everywhere and they in turn took a beating because of it. If you purchase a designer baby blanket, like Fendi's Zucca Print Cashmere Blanket which retails for $345.00, you might want to keep it under lock and key. It can be your baby's favorite blanket... but only in the comfort of your own home. See details of this lovely luxury at childrensalon.com.
