Shine’s Top Picks from the January 2013 NYIGF

January 28, 2013/in Fun, Play, Style/by Shine

Every January and August, the creative team at Shine makes it a priority to attend the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF) and see the latest products for children. It seems like it was just yesterday we were here cruising the aisles for inspiration and ideas for our classes and community.  We are always amazed by new designers and the way classic, everyday children’s items are re-imagined to meet the needs of the modern family. We still love the companies and items we reviewed in August, so click here to read about those.  Below are a few other picks from the current show at the Javits Center in NYC.

Party City

Honestly, gift bags at parties usually underwhelm us.  When we produce an event we like to fill gift bags with quality over quantity and items kids will want to keep and use, not just candy or disposable toys.  We were very inspired this time around.  Our friends at Kido just came out with a really attractive and modern spin on some classic gift bag goodies.  Their tops, bird whistles, animal bead tilts and wobble toys are perfect for young children.

Shine’s Top Picks from the August 2012 NYIGF

August 20, 2012/in Fun, Play, Style/by Shine

Every January and August the creative team at Shine makes it a priority to attend the NYIGF and see the latest products for children.  We are always amazed by new designers and the ways classic, everyday children’s items are re-imagined to meet the needs of the modern family.  Here are our picks from the current show at the Javits Center in NYC.

BLOCK PARTY!

Blocks are fundamental for children’s development, but Uncle Goose has taken block play to a whole new level.  Of course we’ve always loved the Classic ABC blocks, but the Foreign Language blocks are rocking our mundo!  With 16 languages to choose from, these blocks are so special for children growing up with multiple languages or those just getting a head start on learning a second one.  Other favorites are the President block set and Egyptian Hieroglyphics block set.  Handmade in the USA and modern with a nod to the past, Uncle Goose blocks look fresh in any playroom and make the perfect gift.

Brinca Dada’s architectural blocks had our grown-ups drooling.  Ideal for the playroom or the office, these blocks are sure to inspire children and adults alike.
