In a little over a month my 3-year old son and I will fly to the Philippines for a two-month vacation. Our actual flight duration is 19 hours while lay-overs total 6 hours. I dread thinking about how I can entertain him and keep him engaged all through out the flights without getting bored and cranky. I read in some magazine about taking new toys that he hasn't played nor seen before. I will definitely do that, and I will wrap them like gifts too so there will be an added excitement factor to it. Most of his toys are battery operated that make sound, so of course I can't take them with him. Otherwise they wil just annoy other passengers on board.

I also need to dress him very comfortably, probably in his PJ while on board. I will also take that Buddie and Blankie from the Barefoot Dreams collection that I saw at Lou Lou's Corner website. This chic puppy buddie is a great companion when he sleeps and it is attached to a blankie too for great snuggling comfort. This blankie is made from bamboo fibers that makes it really soft and eco-friendly. Buddie and Blankie creation would make a great travel companion for little kids.

We will arrive in the Philippines just in time for my niece's 4th birthday. Browsing through LouLousCorner.com gave me a lot of gift ideas for her too. I'm sure she will love the adorable jellycat bashful monkey. It is made from a very soft plush material that is great for snuggling at bedtime. Who wouldn't love this monkey with smiling face, curled tail, and round tummy? My little tot loves monkey, his favorite is Curious George! Also one of my good friends just had a grand daughter that I haven't seen yet, so I guess I'll give her something when I pay them a visit. I'm thinking of getting some adorable designer baby clothes that are very comfortable or one of those jellycat educational soft books. Lou Lou's Corner is a great website find for online shoppers like me,  It is a specialty boutique store that has a lot of unique items for all seasons for everybody in the family even the pet dog.  Their distinctive toys are very safe; educational and eco-friendly too.  I always look for ways to save on shipping costs for anything I order online, and another great thing about Lou Lou's Corner is it offers a flat shipping rate of $4.95 or free shipping for orders over $65.
