Year of the Monkey Blocks: Chinese New Year Gifts by Tree by Kerri Lee
Today starts the Lunar New Year, and lots of little Year of the Monkey babies are soon to be born. If not already. I've always loved Tree by Kerri Lee's beautiful wooden birth year blocks, which a make sweet gift for a special little someone. Handcrafted by artist Kerri Lee and featured in her sister's Etsy shop, you can order these in three colors, all of which feature characteristics of a Year of the Monkey baby. I think they make such lovely, affordable keepsakes, whether the lucky recipient is super into the Chinese zodiac, or just appreciates the thoughtfulness of a cool, multicultural gift.
