New online stores, like the new online discount sites, seem to be popping up every day. A lot of them are repeats of the same, but I like Growsup.com that just launched last week. It offers you a customized filter so you can shop by age, gender or whichever child you have saved in their database. They source their items from smaller boutiques and mom and pop shops (including Brooklyn), and I LOVE that. I wanted to do a Hannukkah gift guide and thought I would use Growsup.com to select them. I hope you like them.
Holiday Puzzle Set
KidKrafts set of 4 holiday puzzles contains: 1 Chanukah Puzzle, 1 Shabbat Puzzle, 1 Passover Puzzle, 1 Rosh Hashanah Puzzle. $25.
Blind Mice Socks
A collection of socks that stay in place because there aren’t any seams or binding, so they don’t fall off. Since socks don’t like to stay in pairs, Blindmice socks come in coordinating patterns and uneven numbers, so there is no need to look for a matching sock ever again. $14.50 for 5 socks.
Shabbat Set
KidKrafts Shabbat Set allows children to remember and prepare for the Sabbath.
Features: 2 candlesticks with faux flames that can be placed on top of the candles
1 challah board, 1 wooden knife, 2 special wooden, pre-sliced challah loaves with Velcro attachments 1 challah cover with Hebrew letters spelling Shabbat, 1 goblet for wine. $35
Cecile Navy shoes
Breathable cotton-canvas ballet flats with criss-cross elastic strap and bow detail..I adore these. A flower motif on the inside and outside of the transparent flexible rubber sole adds to the appeal of these pretty shoes. Made in Portugal by Mules at Home. $64.
Torah Set
The Torah Set is geared for children 3 and up for pretend play. $33.
Poppolo T-me Kits
I like the idea of a kid getting this and then making a shirt for someone else! Poloppo’s T-me Kits, made in Brooklyn, enable kids to get their own designs and original artwork onto t-shirts. Draw a picture using the markers and blank paper. Choose a favorite t-shirt style from the enclosed catalog, and mail the drawing in the pre-paid return envelope. They’ll receive their unique t-shirt within 10-14 days (often sooner). $31.95

This set of 3 Judaica Education Puzzles, features Noahs Ark Puzzle, Hebrew Letters Puzzle and a Numbers Puzzle. $25.
Magnificent Baby Striped Gown in Blue
This gown will have newborns dressed in a jiffy thanks to hidden magnetic fasteners. Great for new moms and dads during night changings. French-designed stripes in baby blue with Little Dog embroidery. $33.
Fete Little Sailor Slippers
Though I love Hanna Anderssen slippers, I think these are too cute to pass up (and they have lots of other designs). These slippers are made of knitted material with a non-slippery and aerated PVC sole. Made in France and machine washable.
