Maya was lucky enough to recieve these shoes from Little Soles. Aren’t they perfect for Valentine’s day? She tried them out and immediately fell in love.

Far from ordinary, Little Soles strives to be the go-to company for the footwear needs of the hippest babies and kids. And with five different lines of shoes, they have something for every child:

Baby Soles are crib shoes that are free of harmful dyes and toxins, the Urban Infants’ and Classic Infants’ lines both feature a unique flexible outsole so your little one experiences “superior durability, traction, and surface feel,” Squeaky Shoes include a fun squeak to encourage proper heel to toe step, and the Children’s line is designed for an “upscale look with remarkable endurance.” No matter what your kids’ style, you’ll find something to suit them. And Little Soles cares about your baby’s health!

“Little Soles Inc. has accepted the responsibility of informing consumers of the importance of recognizing and maintaining safety standards in footwear.   A major goal of Little Soles Inc. is to raise awareness by manufacturing with the consumer’s comfort, and safety, in mind.”

Girl Mogul has a lot of cool stuff.

We tried out the Girl Power Self-Esteem Kit, which has Catherine Dee’s The Girls’ Guide to Life book in it. It is a super good book for making strong girls. The kit comes with a journal, pen, pencil, highlighter, and goal notebook. We love this kit! We also talked aboutGirl Mogul’s Conversations to Go conversation starter game in our review here.

Also, Girl Mogul sent Maddie an awesome shirt. It says “Future Leader of the Free World” on it. Maddie’s mom said it faded after one wash, but it’s still cute. They have lots of other cool shirts too.

Manifest Your Magnificence is a bunch of cards that say affirmations like, “I am proud” on them and then you think of something that you’re proud about. It’s really cool. The pictures on the cards are awesome and it comes with a cd of somebody reading the affirmations, too.

Wett-Giggles soap would be a really cute stocking stuffer. They smell good and they have little animals that are really scrub brushes once the soap goes away. The soap is handmade with glycerin, shea butter, and essential oils. Fun!

The Dot Girl’s First Period Kit might be good if you have a girl who is just about to go through puberty.

They’re cute kits with lots of helpful information and products to help with a girl’s first period. And one dollar from every kit you buy goes to The Central Asia Institute, which helps provide schools for girls in remote parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

If you know someone who appreciates treats, but wants to be healthy, you should get Crispy Cat organic candy bars (mint coconut is my mom’s favorite) and La Vita All Natural Cruncy Cookies for their stocking!

Also, it might be fun to order some very cute and tasty Tennessee T-Cakes and have them sent to somebody special.

Oh, I almost forgot. You have to have band-aids, right? Kids like having cool band-aids, right? You could put Sticker Sisters’ Brave Girl-Aids in your child’s stocking along with some of Sticker Sisters’ other cool things.

There. Lots of ideas for last-minute internet shopping.

Maya loves her new Leilani shoes from pediped. They’re cute and comfy! And they’re endorsed by the American Podiatric Medical Association. Ok, Maya doesn’t know that part; she just knows they feel and look fabulous!

And you can feel fabulous when you help pediped meet their goal of raising $100,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation by purchasing select styles between December 17-31.

pediped has lowered the price on select styles and will donate 50% of the sales to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“We believe in the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the good work it does with children,” said Angela Edgeworth, pediped president. “We are blessed with healthy children and feel compelled to make a difference in these children’s lives. We initially pledged $50,000, but thanks to the generosity of our
consumers, we are confident we can double that. We’ve reduced the price of our shoes, something we never do, as a way to give back to our consumers while benefiting this worthy charity. We hope everyone shares in the spirit of giving this season. Goodness knows people need it now more than ever. We should be thankful every day for what we have.”

Ruth and Warren love their new adorable hand-painted shoes from Monkey-Toes! Ruth wears the ever-popular Little Lady mary janes, and Warren has the Silly Monkey tennis shoes. Ruth was more than willing to share her delight over both pairs of shoes. Warren, however, is a very private person and would not allow Kids Know Stuff to put him on the site. He assures us that he loves the curly laces and the silly faces on his shoes, but he would like to remain anonymous.

The 2K by Gingham shirts are really awesome! And they’re funny too! There were so many different styles, it was hard to pick one! I was gonna get a farting dog. ^_^ If you know someone who likes funny shirts you should get one for them! They are really cool! They have other cool styles that aren’t funny, too. Just cool.

Threadless Tees are comfy and funny! Mine is called “Marshmallow Factory.” This is the one with the cats and bombs that I was talking about. It’s called “Adorable Disaster.” They have so many other funny ones, too!
