Silent Drums

Ion To cultivate the future rock star in your child and spare yourself the hearing loss that usually comes along with it, check out the Electronic Drum Kit from ION Audio. With the help of pads and headphones, kids can pound to their hearts' content, and you won't hear a peep. Only bummer? It's not quite as space-saving as the air guitar. (Ba-dum ching!)

Tot-size Designer Duds

Jeans We're not necessarily condoning matching mother-daughter outfits, but isn't it kind of great when one of your wardrobe staples is suddenly available for your kid? These Baby J Brand denim beauts (which, by the way, Brangelina's Zahara has been sporting proudly lately) have 13 percent stretch to pull easily over diapers and an adjustable button on each side. And, smartly, the baby pairs use tencel yarn on the back of the pants (which is similar to rayon), to make them more durable.

Dainty Diaper Clutch

Pouches A quick outing doesn't always require a bulbous diaper bag, which is why we love these Sweet Fletcher pouches. The clutches are roomy enough to hold a few diapers and wipes, and the laminated fabric is handily wipeable. Plus, with so many cute patterns available, its easy to find one you'll still love to keep your own things in once your tot has mastered the potty.

Straight to DVD

We07cods7172 Make it easier to capture precious moments with the Sony HDR-UX7 Handycam camcorder. It has a gazillion bells and whistles (a built-in intelligent flash to automatically improve dark videos, four different fader effects, super-slow-motion playback for dramatic moments, night vision in a 10-foot range, yadda, yadda, yadda), but the best part is that it can record directly onto a DVD--allowing you to watch your footage immediately. Even a PlayStation or XBox will read it without a problem!

Oodles of Doodles

Doodles2_2 Indulge your inner child--or entertain your real one--with Doodles to Go, by Deborah Zemke. The book comes with pages of step-by-step instructions for drawing impressive-looking animals, a black pen, and perforated pages to make it easy to share finished artwork. Plus, all the doodles start with letters and numbers, so there's even a little education thrown in. (We'll call it smart doodling.)

Tropical Ease

Corer_2 A wonderful fresh summer offering? Pineapple. Not so wonderful? Peeling and coring it quickly without doing bodily injury. Williams-Sonoma has us covered. Their modern-looking steel Vacuvin pineapple slicer easily cores and slices this tropical treat. Just twist the slicer in, and the pineapple flesh will come out in rings. It even leaves the shell intact, perfect for drinks.

The Havana bikini shown is made from gorgeous performance-quality material, and the one-piece version has a sweet keyhole neckline. But don't think the boys have been left out--we're also quite fond of the Lord Paisley swim trunks. Precious suits and lots of sun? Let summer begin!
