Toy Time!

Hi Subbies! I'm Erin of Design for Mankind and am so thrilled to be joining you this week! I know you'll all miss Anna desperately [I already do!], so I'll try to make this fun for you in the midst of all the anguish you must be feeling.

Today we're talking about toys. I'm a big fan of trinkets and toys and well, generally anything that I have to make other people dust. Kidding. I do the dusting in our house. [I'm lying.]

Anyway, I thought it may be fun to round up a few of my favorite toys around the web. And with my birthday around the corner, there's no better reminder that everyone needs to bring out their inner child every now and then.

Well, except for this guy. He needs to steer clear from his inner child, clearly.

2. Surprise ball via KIOSK, $40
3. TOFU Gum Strawberry via Okidiku, $169
