Pacimals: Ooie the Monkey by LOVE KUB LLC

Ideal for babies 0 to 9 months, Pacimals is a detachable silicone pacifier that connects to an adorable stuffed animal. It allows babies to hold onto and control their own pacifier. And keeping it clean is a snap — just pop the pacifier off the base and toss it in the dishwasher, and throw the stuffed animal in the washing machine. The line includes seven different Pacimals. “The detachability of the pacifier is unique. It makes cleaning easy and makes weaning more fun,” Founder Monica Smith of Love Kub told TDmonthly. Launch date: January 7, 2008. ( Watch Video) 9/25/2007 (Price: $19.99) [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]

MyMiniGolf Set by DEFACTO.GMBH

Created by a group of Munich industrial designers (think Eero Aarnio meets kids’ birthday party), this build-and-play mini-golf set is all neon-glow plastic and tough shots ― sort of the autobahn of the back nine.

And it’s not just for indoors, he said: “We have tried it out some million times, and it works perfectly. You can play on every even surface such as grass, concrete, tarmac, wood floor, carpet or ice. My favorite is the ‘Acapulco,’ and it’s also the toughest one.” 9/25/2007 (Price: $231.00) [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]
