I seem to find my best ideas when I’m not really looking for them. Like a few days ago I was searching for something on Amazon and I stumbled upon this cool Lullaby series, Rockabye Baby! They take favorite songs by artists like Tool, Coldplay, Nirvana, or Metallica, and play them baby lullaby style. I wasn’t sure whether it was really cool, or maybe just a kind of bastardization of what used to be cool music, so I asked my musically-hip brother (a Full Sail graduate, thank-you-very-much). He’s still in his 20’s and doesn’t have kids yet, but he thought they were pretty neat. Anyway, that got me thinking about a theme gift using one or more of these CD’s.

How about a CD (or two or three) and a cool night light? Rosenberry Rooms has one of the most exhaustive collections of cool night lights I’ve seen.

Throw in a SwaddleMe baby swaddler, and you’ve got a great sleep-themed gift. The SwaddleMe takes some of the difficulty out of swaddling a baby. It has velcro patches which allow you to swaddle baby without the tricky tucking.

Have a restful New Year, everyone!
