Ok, hedgehogs aren’t actually as prickly as they look… Trust me, I have a dog who tackled a couple in our yard while living in Europe… but in true fluffy puffy form this little critter is downright irresistible! Check out this great little dress we spied at Forget Me Not Kids:

And also ranking high on the Tres Fun-o-Meter (What? You didn’t know there was such a thing?), this Hedgehog Costume from Pottery barn Kids!

Alright, I had to come back and ADD to this post because I found THESE Harry the Hedgehog tights to match the dress!

Back to your regularly scheduled hedgehog browsing…

Men are pretty serious about their gadgets, my hubby is all about the newest tech gadget. Well, that’s good and fine but I have more important gadgets to collect. They would include gadgets with names like Cup-a-Cake, The Cupcake Courier and Cupcakes and More Stand. Notice a theme? Yes, we have priorities and one of them is how serious we are about our Cupcakes. (There are some in the oven right now…told you we were serious.)

Here are a few of our favorite must-have’s when it comes to cupcakes…

The kids like a little sweet in their lunch, right? They will be the talk of the lunch table when they bust out their Cup-a-Cake cupcake holder. This sweet little thing holds a single cupcake. It’s made to hold the cupcake in place so you don’t get frosting everywhere. Genius.

Looking to transport a couple dozen cupcakes? You better get The Cupcake Courier. Imagine the squeals when you walk in the room with a Courier filled with beautiful cupcakes. You will make instant friends, guaranteed! (They show sold out at their official website, but you can get one at Bed Bath & Beyond.)

Need a way to display those decadent cupcakes? This Wilton Cupcakes and More Stand is a great way to present your cupcakes at a party. (We secretly love that it only holds 23 cupcakes. Someone has to eat the 24th cupcake, right?)

Do you have a favorite cupcake gadget that wasn’t mentioned? Please let us know in the comments so we can run out and get it…if our hubby can have all those gadgets, why can’t we??

A trip to the grocery store with your kids in tow can be a dreaded event. I think I spend twice as much money and at least triple the frustration when they are with me. Love the little stinkers but I think their overload button gets pushed when they walk into the grocery store. One mom came up with a great idea to keep the kiddos occupied while you get the shopping done. (we love Moms with great ideas!) Laura Hamrick is the mom genius behind OnTray,  a cool gadget that hooks right on to your grocery cart designed to keep those little hands busy while you get your shop on.

OnTray is made in the USA and made by a mom.  How cool is that?  Just snap OnTray onto the grocery cart and fill it with some wee goodies to keep them occupied.  Fishy Crackers, Cheerios or even some small toys would work wonders and the beauty of it all…OnTray keeps your hands free so you can shop!  When you are done shopping just pop it off the cart and put it in your mom bag until next time. OnTray comes in 4 great colors and make great gifts!

*GIVEAWAY* Yep, friends we have another fun giveaway! This time 2 of our lucky readers will each win an OnTray of their own. Yippee!

There are three ways to qualify for this Tres Fun prize:

• Visit the OnTray website and come back and tell us why you need an OnTray.
• Blog about our giveaway (and post here letting us know you did!)
• Sign up for the Tres Fun mailing list. You can do that here!

Giveaway closes August 28th at midnight PST. Two lucky randomly choosen winners will be happy shoppers when they receive their prize!

Ok. So we’ve confessed our love of sweets-n-goodies-n-all things bad for the waistline. (And it appears we’re not alone by the looks of the volume of entires for the cookie giveaway, yay!) So, you won’t be surprised to hear the snap of the virtual high five we gave each other upon seeing THIS:

Mmmm hmmm… those are frosting shots, people, from Bangerang Bake Shop (aka Fat Daddy bake Shop) on etsy! Bangerang is the creator of the original cupcake in a jar and I’ve enjoyed their cakes. A lot. What’s funny is that they make the kind of super creamy homemade melt in your mouth kind of frosting that you will positively lick (daintily from your fingers because you have proper manners like that) from the jar. Apparently that was commonplace enough for them to offer just the amazing frosting. Now, I’m not sure if these are intended for slugging down shot-style but my best bet is that they might be enjoyed behind a closed door where the kids won’t find you. Ah, a little bit of sweet happiness.

Looking for a great baby shower gift? We found a winner with Secure2Me, it’s not your ordinary baby blanket. Secure2Me blankets are made with a variety of eye pleasing fabrics and the cool thing about them, they are designed with clips so they actually hook right on to your baby gear. Gone are the days that you are bending over to pick up that blanket again and again and again. Secure2Me blankets are cute and make our life easier…we love it!

Check out how it hooks right to the stroller…

The Secure2Me blankets are great for not only the stroller, but also the car seat and you can even hook it to your shirt while breastfeeding! Still too hot to be thinking of blankets? Check out their Solarveil Sun Protection Cover, it keeps your child covered with a lightweight, breathable fabric that protects 95% of harmful UV sun rays.

One of our favorite Secure2Me Blankets is the Raspberry Sorbet…yum!

We love goodies. Yes, the edible kind… Suckers for the baked goods, we are. (Real women eat real food, ya know. *wink*) That said, we must express our total adoration of Platine Cookies. This Venice, CA based cookie company offers the most fabulous, fresh, all-natural gourmet cookies we’ve ever tried! Freshly made in small batches and carefully hand packaged, these cookies come ready to present as the ultimate edible gift. We recommend the Platinum Standard for those I want to get you something really fantastic and clever kind of gifts. Trust me, your recipient will be impressed. Please note: You might want to order an extra for yourself since it might be embarrassing to gift someone with a lovely tin of crumbs.

And if you happen to be looking for a treat for yourself… or to share with a special someone, let us introduce you to the most delicious (What is a bigger word than delicious? It doesn’t seem to encompass the super duper mega ultra ultimate major tastiness) cookie to ever have passed our lips:

Chocolate gingersnaps! Ohhhh… chocolatey and a little spicy. I personally am still in a joy coma after having eaten them. We were lucky enough to have been treated to several varieties of their cookies and believe us- they were all out of this world, but I find myself having afternoon daydreams about the gingersnaps.

So. You’ve got the any occasion impress them gift covered now (Thank us later.) What about the special special occasion: bridal shower, baby shower, big anniversary party? Platine has you covered there, too, with their couture cookies (Tasteful fashion AND baked good combined? Pinch me!) Artfully decorated to your specifications…not only will they look fabulous but they remembered that cookies -even the too pretty to eat kind- are supposed to taste really good. They do.

I know I’ve raved about how fantastic the Platine Cookie experience is but we’re not the only ones going gaga over them. They were featured on the Food Network’s Food Finds! I wonder if the Food Network is still in a joy coma, too….

Want to experience your very own Platine Cookie joy coma too…for free? They’ve generously offered a fabulous prize for our Tres Fun readers: The platinum standard –an assortment of 2 dozen of our favorite cookies nestled in their signature platinum tin and shipped anywhere in the US!
