Tom Cruise gets a nice gift

Do not attempt to adjust your monitors. What you are seeing is real. Very real.


The above picture is, yes, in fact the exact Baby Jogger that baby Tomkitten Suri will ride in, parked outside of Mr. Cruise's house. Truth Be Told PR Firm sent Katie and Tom the gift on Tuesday, along with a few other little items from their clients. The box you see inside the stroller contained an Oopa Baby Sling in Chambray Fabric, a Lil Dipper Essentials Gift Set, a Forty Weeks New Mother Comfort Kit, a Baby Daze New Baby Organizer, and Bravado Lifestyle Microfiber Nursing Bra.

Two new celebrity babies!

Yes, two in one day! Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise welcomed a baby girl named Suri today. Suri was born at the couple's home apparently. No word yet on rather or not the birth was silent. And Brooke Sheilds also welcomed a baby daughter named Grier Hammond Henchy. Grier it appears however, was born in a hospital.

World Cup Babies

Everyone knows the English like their soccer. I just had no idea it started so young.

English baby superstore Mothercare has a whole line of Team England gear for little ones, just in time for the World Cup. Clothes, shoes, hats, and even this cute little stroller with an English Soccer Flag on it (also available are an parasol and a stroller blanket). I also like the kid's swim cape because it reminds me of the time I was in England during the Euro Cup and a man was running down the street wearing only one these (or something similar I would assume).

Pint size furniture celebrities love

This month's People Magazine features an article on Jennifer Delonge, celebrity mom and children's furniture designer. Jennifer is married to Tom DeLonge, lead singer and guitarist for Blink-182, and is also mom to Ava (4). Jennifer was an interior designer and owned her own paper store until January of this year when she decided that it was too difficult finding child size furniture for her daughter. She started Jennifer DeLonge Children's Furniture soon after, and celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Courteney Cox, and Britney Spears have all bought pieces.

Jennifer currently designs chairs, ottomans, tables, and stools for kids and they're being sold in many upscale stores including Barney's. She's currently working on a line of blankets, multi-functional modern toy storage and Flokati poofs. You can check out her website to see all her pretty designs and find a store near you.

New gift pack from Dr. Moz

Dr. Moz is a friend of mine who came up with a really cool idea last year. It was called the Goodfather CD-ROM, a colorful tale that teaches new fathers all about babies. Now Dr. Moz has teamed up with Duds4Dads to bring you the PaPa Pack. The PaPa Pack gift combo combines two of the most popular gifts for new and expecting dads in one. The sling style Extreme Bandolier by Duds4Dads has a build-in, wipe-clean changing pad, and all-weather nylon built to last. Packed inside the main diaper bag compartment, is of course the Goodfather CD-ROM.

Quite a nice gift for a new dads and it's apparently selling out quite quick.

Star Watch

Child Magazine has a fairly new feature on their site called "Star Watch". It's a section dedicated to featuring products that celebrity moms use and also tells you where you can find them. I usually don't post stuff like this, because quite frankly a lot of magazines and product companies don't always tell the truth when they say a celebrity owns this or that. But this one looks pretty legit, as I have seen many of the celebrities mentioned with the actual products.

There are quite a few nice items mentioned, including a few of my favorites like the Art Farm gift baskets and Tigex silverware. It is worth a read.

New Ducduc Rockers

Modern baby company Ducduc has some new furniture out. They've designed several modern baby rockers, and even a rocker holtser. The rockers are definitly unique in design and come in a variety of different colors. The holster is pretty cool too, with lots of pockets for holding a variety of things. I've never seen one of these before. I wonder if they only fit Ducduc's rockers?

Orlando News

Well I just got home from a horrible airport fiasco. Our flight was overbooked, so we had to drive home! Orlando was nice though. Except for the fact that the wireless internet system didn't work for several days, hence the lack of posting here. But I did find some nice stores.


Oilily - At the Mall at Millenia. A decent selection, and they had the new line in.

Burberry - Also at the MAM. They had a nice selection of too, mostly infants and though.

Neiman Marcus - They seemed to be out of a lot of stuff. Probably inbetween seasons. they had a Bugaboo Cameleon though, in yellow and blue. That's a nice combo.

Zara - I had not been in this Spanish store before, but it was a pretty cool place. They had a lot of nice clothing for kids.


Disney tips - Go early. Disney, unlike Universal, does not sell fast pass tickets. You can only have one at a time. So you have to wait regardless. Also make sure you go up the correct side of the monorail line, or they get mad. Very mad.

Silver Cross Pram spotting

I'm in Orlando, hence the lack of posting. But I just wanted to add this semi-celebrity stroller siting. I went to Universal Studios today and guess what I saw on the Men In Black? A Silver Cross Pram....carrying an alien of course! Kind of expensive for a ride prop, but there it was. I'll be posting some info on Orlando shops soon, so be looking for that.

Get a Siver Cross Pram at Albee's.
