The Red Balloon: re-released!

3175697With the recent barrage of French indie flicks like Je T'aime Paris and Two Days in Paris, it's high time for a family-friendly tale set in the city of lights. Enter the 1957 Academy Award-winning classic (and one of our editors' long-time favorites), The Red Balloon. The beautiful, silent film has been newly restored, and is available today on DVD for the first time ever. It's sure to inspire travel fantasies in Francophiles tall and small. Tres magnifique!

Sansa Fuze

Fuze_2If you think an Ipod is the be-all end-all of mp3 players, prepare to be proven wrong. With the Sansa Fuze, you can store up to 2,000 songs, listen to preset FM radio stations, play videos or peruse photos on the color screen, or lay down your own tunes with a built in voice recorder. Best of all, when the little gadget is full, you can purchase a tiny memory card to double the capacity. The Fuze comes in five colors, with an impressive 24 hours of battery life so you can rock out all day long.

Hop To It

BunnySpring is in the air, and we suspect you'll have some bunnies hopping through your home - especially if you visit Mahar Drygoods. Rusty the Bunny is just one of their new hand knit stuffed animals, meticulously made with 100 percent wool by a Montreal artist. Each creature (you can choose from rabbits or lambs) is dressed a little differently, with embroidered noses and black plastic safety eyes. So cute, and so spring!

Small Wonder

ThinketsThe onset of boredom while on the road is next to unavoidable -- and doesn't make the journey feel any shorter. Next time you find yourself in a mid-level panic over what to do with the kids, turn off the Game Boy and look to Think-ets. The little mesh pouch holds a host of fantastical trinkets including a tiny building block, a horse, a silk flower, and twelve more to spark the imagination. Instructions for 10 different games come with the set, but these intriguing little figures may even inspire them to create their own.

Gift Pick: High-Tech Classics

Videocollection4_2 Parents beg you to give their child educational, quality products, while every kid just wants something tech-y. This Scholastic Storybook Treasury is the compromise you've been looking for: 100 classic kid-lit tales, all faithfully animated on 16 DVDs. The award-winning books are narrated by celebrity voices, including James Earl Jones, and provide a great way to introduce young ones to tales you yourself loved as a child (like Where the Wild Things Are). And this way, you can actually feel good about gathering around the TV once in a while.

Beyond A Baby Story

Notes_3 Set your TiVo for the premiere of Notes from the Underbelly tonight (10 p.m. EST on ABC).  Peter Cambor and Jennifer Westfeldt star as Andrew and Lauren, a thirtysomething couple who get pregnant and then fear having a baby will ruin their lives. The decidedly single Cooper (Rachael Harris) tries to keep Lauren out of the "mommy cult," while perky stay-at-home mom Julie (Melanie Paxson) schools her on glittered onesies. Instead of relying on the old mood-swing jokes, the show pokes fun at maternity underwear and boobs deflated by breast-feeding. It's Arrested Development meets pregnancy—fast-paced, hilariously honest, and definitely worth watching.
