Every parent is faced with the invigorating yet sometimes confounding task of creating the perfect bedroom for their child. To paint or not to paint? Colors? Themes that will grow with the child? BLIK, the world’s first removable wall graphic company, has come to the rescue of head scratching parents everywhere by providing a wide range of unique, awe-inspiring wall decor that may be thoroughly enjoyed and easily removed — sticking around only as long as you or your child would like it to.

BLIK was founded by Scott Flora, an architect and Jerinne Neils, a food writer, when they realized there were few other options than wallpaper or paint available for infusing a room with life. They created removable wall graphics as a much less permanent alternative for those looking for something different and unique — also a perfect solution for renters who can’t physically alter their living spaces.

Regardless of the theme or look you’re after, BLIK no doubt has an offering to suit everyone’s decor motif. Their baby and kid-friendly designs include an array of animal, nature, and even video game graphics that will bring walls to life and turn bedrooms and nurseries into daydreamy dwellings. BLIK will even custom design a one-of-a-kind wall graphic for your wee one, based on your vision and direction.

Parents looking for a unique piece of baby furniture will love this product.

Babycotpod™ Limited was formed in 2008 when founder Shaun Milburn became a dad for the second time.

Shaun noticed that the only product on the UK market for a newborn baby to sleep in was the Moses Basket, and although they are widely popular, they are also very traditional in style. With a lot more sophisticated prams and highchairs arriving on the market lately, its clear the baby sector is embracing more high-end products. So with that in mind Shaun designed a range of modern carrycots that would provide an alternative to the traditional Moses Basket or Bassinet.

This unique bed comes in two models: the ‘Cascara’, which is the elite model, with a built-in hood and retractable carry handle, and the less expensive ‘Cuba’.

Both models were ergonomically designed to provide ultimate safety and comfort for your baby. They both feature easy to grab handles for lifting on and off the stylish base frame. A ventilated mattress provides extra airflow from below the cot.

For your convenience, all of the furnishings are removable for washing.

Babycotpod™ products are currently in development and will hopefully be available to buy at the end of the year ‘09. For updates please visit their site.

Three years ago when we brought our son home from the hospital, I would have given anything to have a video monitor to watch over him while he was sleeping.

The problem was that at that time the only video monitors available looked like tiny little tube TVs only broadcasting in black and white.

Technology has definitely improved over the last few years, with companies offering parents sleek flat screen color monitors to watch over their precious bundles during the night and day.

We have been using the Graco Color Video & Sound Monitor for the last couple of weeks and I am in LOVE!

• Flat screen tilts for easy viewing.
• Volume, color, brightness and contrast control.
• Includes cable so you can view your baby on your TV.
• Optional audio mode.
• Optional audio only mode.
