Almost every parent invests in a baby crib mobile. Babies just love them because it calms them when they're trying to go to sleep. Once they're old enough to pull the mobile down, however, most parents remove them. For those of us who'd like to continue to entertain our tots with mobiles even as they outgrow the crib version, we introduce you to the Fandangling. The Fandangling quickly turns any ceiling fan into an interesting mobile that is totally safe for kids of all ages, as it's out of their reach. It's an entertaining, unique baby/child gift that will last much longer than traditional mobiles. Choose from fun themes such as butterflies, safari, underwater adventure, sports, bugs and more. Or you can customize your own. The kits easily attach to any ceiling fan in minutes. Then just set your fan to low speed and let the fun begin! Another thing we love about Fandangling is that they donate 10% of the proceeds to organizations such as Build.org and ThinkingOutsidetheCage.org. Exclusive CBS Offer: Enter coupon code CELEBSCOOP10 for 20% off your purchase.

French for “Tutu For My Two,” Tutu Pour Mon Deux offers little girls their very own, customized tutu with attached top. Little girls can choose their own tutu color, as well as the color and design (think stars, hearts and animals) of the tank top or long sleeve top, and even the color of the accent ribbon.

Expecting mommies often hear about the benefits of playing music for your baby while it’s in the womb. The old school version of putting headphones around your belly has finally been revamped! Now, with Lullabelly, you can plug in your iPod or MP3 Player and let your baby listen to any music of your choosing. Some experts say listening to music in the womb encourages learning, language development and memory skills. Expand your baby's horizons by playing lullabies, audio books, foreign language recordings, and introduce him or her to the voices of friends and family who don't live nearby. Plus, playing the same music after birth can help your baby sleep better. The Lullabelly prenatal music belt offers a more modern, comfortable way to help your baby’s development with your favorite music! And it’s a great way for daddy to get involved, let him pick the tunes for the iPod! Any mom-to-be will tell you that stretching a headset across your belly is clumsy and hard to position. The Lullabelly prenatal music belt can be used whether you are on the go or just relaxing home. It is extremely soft, flexible, lightweight and comfortable. The large pocket is ideal for carrying your portable MP3 player or other small accessories. The Lullabelly even comes with built-in speakers and adjustable volume control. Choose from pastel green, blue or pink, yellow, chocolate & mint. Exclusive CBS Offer: Enter coupon code CBS10 for 10% off your order until April 30th.
