The Best Wrapped Package of All

So we swore we weren't covering any cutesie Christmas onesies this year. No Baby's First Christmas shirts, no Jingle Bells jingly caps, no Bwing Me Pwesents Santa bib. (Eek.)

And then we found this clever little holiday design snapsuit from My Rock Star Baby. And we agreed oh okay, just this one.

In red or green, the trompe l'oeil design seems to wrap your bambino up in a big white ribbon ribbon and stamp him fragile. You'll almost be tempted to leave him under the tree Christmas eve. -Liz

Ask Cool Mom Picks

I have been searching for a photo album or scrapbook that is NOT in the classic style you see everywhere that's either pink and fluffy or traditional leather. Any ideas? -Sarah

Ask Cmp Placeholder

Googling "photo albums" can definitely lead to very bad things. We always find cool stuff at Zanisa and we like the Molly West books at Chittypulga.

But lately we really dig the handmade wooden albums from Tree by Kerri Lee [pictured] with metal hinges and the funky wooden ring and strap. And the prices are terrific.
