Gifted Gift Giving for the Younger Set

Lightweight for Lightweights


I think it's always nice to have a toy or two lying around the living room, just in case someone (be it child or adult) wants to play. Of course, that doesn't mean plastic dreck. It means something arty and interesting.

These subtle cork blocks are arty and interesting. They're functional enough for any child (because, no matter how hard you try, most kids just aren't all that interested in aesthetics). But they're just fabulous enough, with an artsy pedigree and ultra-safe environmentally sound veggie dyes, to be of interest to design oriented adults. In short, these are a perfect gift for a parent who loves, as perhaps you do, to leave a toy or two out on the coffee table for the masses. Bring your friend a set, and see what evolves upon your return: a skyscaper, a castle, a canned soup factory.

An added plus? These are cork, folks, so no one gets hurt. Check them out at www.momastore.org.
