That’s a WRAP
NO ONE PUTS BABY FOOD IN A CORNER
NOW THAT’S THE STUFFED
Ever thought to yourself, “Connor Barwin and
Jason Kelce are so cute — I wish someone
would turn them into 10-inch tall plush figures
that I could buy — I mean, give to my nephew,”
then you’re in luck. Bleacher Creatures has cre-
ated figures not just of the Eagles players, but
of current Flyers, Sixers great Allen Iverson, as
well as Marvel’s Avengers, the Hobbit and more.

Making your own baby food has always been on
your wish list — until you think about the messy
mechanics of it all, at which point those little
glass jars seem like a decent compromise. No
more, thanks to the Baby Brezza One Step Baby
Food Maker. This thing can steam and blend
fruits, vegetables, meats and fish all in one bowl
quickly and easily with the press of a button.
And no plastic here — only stainless steel blades
and a glass bowl. What’s your excuse now?
Baby wants to know.

DO BE SUCH A BLOCKHEAD!
Instead of just reading and stressing about how
important STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering,
Arts and Math) are in developing our children’s
— especially girls’ — intellects, why not do
something about it? Like, make a game out of
it? That’s just what the folks at GoldieBlox have
done. Their award-winning construction sets en-
gage young minds with their whimsical designs
while encouraging creativity, and verbal and
spatial skills.

THE SIREN SONG OF A BOOK
Now you can give a child a book and perform
tzedakah at the same time, thanks to a partner-
ship between American Friends of Magen David
and Apples & Honey Press. They have teamed
up to offer the new series about Avi, an eager
young anthropomorphic ambulance — the
youngest and smallest in a family of Magen
David Adom emergency vehicles living in a
garage in Jerusalem.

A GIFT THAT WILL BE ALL THE PAGE
Forget about monogrammed backpacks — what if you could get your favorite young’un a book that
featured them going on a Chanukah adventure? That’s exactly what A Hanukkah Bear for Me, from I
See Me Personalized Children’s Books, will do (for $39.99, of course). Looking for a non-holiday gift
that is just as personal? The company also makes My Sing-Along Book, which not only features the
child’s name in the book, but also in the songs on the accompanying CD ($39.99).
iseeme.com WIN THE STROLLER DERBY
If you really want to be ready to walk your
baby in the cold — not just this winter, but for
a few winters to come — then the only
stroller accessory you should be buying is the
7 AM Enfant Blanket 212 Evolution. This
bunting expands as your baby grows.

JEWISHExPONENT.COM THERE IS NO TRY; ONLY BUY
You didn’t think we could make it through an entire gift guide without having at least one Star Wars-
themed gift in here, did you? We’ll leave it to others to feature the high-end esoteric claptrap (hello,
LEGO — we’re looking at you!) and focus on the Hasbro offerings that remind us of the toys of our
youth, like the super-cool Armor-Up figurines of characters like Poe Dameron, and the telescoping
light sabers that come complete with air-slicing hums.
Prices vary; available everywhere, obviously
