A few of my favorite things, now in flashcard form
More than 100 awesome baby gifts abound in our new Baby Shower Gift Guide, but if that isn't enough for you, then you might want to add the new My Favorite Things Flash Cards to your wish list.

Petit Collage creator Lorena Siminovich's gorgeous designs are translated into 26 sturdy flashcards, with a picture and word for each letter of the alphabet. Aside from their lovely simplicity, the cards, which function equally well as educational entertainment for small hands and as a decorative nursery room accent, feature slightly atypical words compared to what you typically see in an alphabet book or card set. That doesn't necessarily mean "C" is for "catamaran" or anything, but you do see castles, dolls, and kites on these cards, as opposed to the every day cats, dogs, and kings.

Considering how many alphabet items we see, the variety is certainly welcome, as these ABC flashcards will be for a lucky future reader. -Kristen

Purchase the set of My Favorite Things Flash Cards at Chronicle Books.
