We just got in some more new fun pet toys- love them! For Fido, we have the Doggie Stoggies . These Cigar Shaped toys are extremely durable and functional fetch sticks. They are flexible, allowing for maximum distance when thrown and are great for the teeth as there is no filler inside, just solid rope through and through. 11″ long. $9.95

They are BACK!! We sold tons of these ceramic Humidifiers last winter (they were featured on Apartment Therapy and Daily Candy) and just as the heat gets turned on in apartments and homes around the country, we got a big shipment in the shop. This ceramic humidifier attaches to your radiator with a metal hook that can bend into shape, and you simply add water to it to help keep your home from drying out during the cold winter months when the heat is kicked up several notches. Suitable for panel and ribbed radiators (the back of the piece is curved so it sits perfectly on your radiator). We love the water tower artwork. Very Urban General Store. Imported from Germany. Truly wins a Blue Ribbon for fun and functional! Its Green product too since it uses no electricity- bonus! This year we have three great patterns in- Luling (above), Coyote and Marfa (we love Marfa!)- these are made in Germany, but all watertowers are from Texas (um, we don’t know why– but they sure look cool). $48. These go quick so get them while you can!
Some lovely new bath toys, equally fun outside of the tub– above we have the Mother/Baby Floating Ducks that gently rock together when they are on dry land. And then there’s the Stacking/ Nesting cups, for loads of fun inside the tub pouring and measuring and outside the tub stacking and nesting. Mother/Baby Floating ducks $13.95, Stacking/ Nesting cups $13.50.
Make sure your next boo-boo is not so painful with these funny band- aids! Bling bandages ($5.50), above, and the Comic Strip ones below ($5.95) will keep a smile on your face, despite the pain you might be in…
