MyMomShops Best of 2008

Before we close up shop till New Year's, I thought I'd highlight my favorite items from this year...



Favorite Photo Gift/Favorite Wall Art: Photo Fiddle. Every visitor to my apartment asks where I got this. I love it, love it, love it.





Favorite Etsy shop: Sarah and Abraham, which now has its own separate website, but I found originally through Etsy. Stylish silhouette stationery, prints, gift labels, and more.





Favorite Jewelry: ABC Necklace by Jennifer Fisher Designs. I've been wearing mine almost every day. The most beautiful, unique "mommy jewelry" I've seen in a long time.







Favorite Funny Onesies/T-shirts: "Translation Tees" by Temporary Language. Such a clever idea, and will make a great keepsake when your toddler outgrows it.







Favorite Decor/Favorite Post: Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous. I had so much fun writing this post about how to copy Tori Spelling's home decor, and it was even picked up by uber-blog Celebrity Babies.





Favorite Toys: Petit Baby. I would buy all of my kids' toys here if I could. European-made plush, wooden, and educational toys by brands like Haba, Vilac, and Plan Toys (their forklift is shown below).





Favorite Stationery: Smock Paper. A find from last year's National Stationery Show, Smock Paper makes the thickest yummiest letterpress stationery. Eco-friendly, too!





Favorite Clothing: Anything at Arte Bebe. Besides carrying a selection of modern kids' toys, accessories, and decor, Arte Bebe has a fab selection of clothing, including some of my favorite brands like Splendid Little, Wonderboy, and Oeuf.





Favorite Baby Gift: Yes, these are the same two gifts I picked as Best of 2007. One year later, they still top my list. They are just the best and get raves each and every time they're received by new moms.
