My nephew is going to turn one…. in about 11 days and I’m still high and dry on ideas of what to get him. Because let’s face it, he’s one- the only person that will remember what his Auntie gave on his first birthday will be his parents. My sister and brother-in-law are the quintessential Manhattan couple, which means that my nephew has all of those smart, fancy toys I can’t figure out myself and will probably know French by the age of 3. Which is great, that way he can order for me in a French restaurant, without me sounding like a fool.
In order to trump their smart toy ways, I figured I can buy them something they wouldn’t think of…. home decor for the kid. Yes that’s right, every child needs a bit of color in their life and I’m not talking about a messy bib or diaper… The SkipHop Playspot is perfect for any play room and chic enough for any baby despite it’s Parents’ desired IQ- It comes in a pink/brown combo, blue/gold combo, and brights combo.
With a soft finished surface, the mat is a 72” × 54” and is rated as safe for children of all ages. Which is great considering that most mats are only safe for children 3 and up….
So trump the parents with the baby that has everything in the world with this mat and you’ll definitely be in the top ten list for favorite auntie, uncle, cousin, or ‘I don’t want a child yet’ friend with fabulous taste.
