Good Fortune Wooden Blocks
In Korea, on a baby's 100th day, family and friends get a peek into the child's future. Parents spread out objects representing different professions—a calligraphy brush or a spool of thread, for example—and whatever the baby first touches is said to be his or her destiny. I've ordered colorful wooden blocks that offer a modern take on this tradition: a set of 26 blocks with each block depicting a potential life path—from astronaut to deejay to zookeeper—plus a corresponding alphabet letter and illustration, all contained in a canvas drawstring pouch embroidered with "when i grow up..."
Based on the traditional Chinese "100 Good Wishes Quilt" given by friends and family to newborns, this chart marks a child's height through the years and imparts inspirational words along the way.
Musical Carousel Frame
A porcelain carousel with four frames that plays "Rock-a-Bye Baby" to lull the little one to sleep.
Oh, I also bought a shoe shine kit.
