Gifts for Toddlers | Clean Start Toddler Ceramic Divided Breakfast Plate

Erin Sluka

Introducing the NEW Ceramic Tableware line from Ello is called, Clean Start. The name is proper as it is not only designed for food portions made for baby and toddlers, but is ‘cleaner’ in comparison to plastic products. Every piece is free from BPA, PVC, phthalates, melamine, and PFAS (forever chemicals).

I gifted my niece the Breakfast Plate from this Clean Start line. It has a large portion and 2 smaller portions. Perfect for some pancakes and then a few pieces of fruit and egg or even a small amount of peanut butter or syrup as they learn to dip food and play with flavor samples. Really, it is used for all meals of the day.

The full line of Clean Start products includes:

  • The Breakfast Plate 2-pack – divided with one large and two smaller sections. Sized to fit most standard high chair trays
  • The Toddler Bowls 2-pack – Scoop-friendly, stackable bowls featuring easy leverage tabs.
  • The Everything Plate 2-pack – Square shape with plenty of room for full meals, finger foods, or samplers

These plates are made of premium porcelain ceramic and finished with soft, removable, food-safe silicone bumpers to protect surfaces. Pretty genious when I want to feel better on reducing so much plastic products in the kitchen.

If you are looking for a plate that helps reduct plastics and has the best function of holding food samples or separating foods for the picky eaters, this line is perfect. Shop all Ello products. These Clean Start line is also available on Amazon.

Find those easy Sunday mornings again with Sunday Club

Erin Sluka
Sunday Club

Remember the Sunday mornings? Cartoons on TV, breakfast cooking and Dad with his newspaper? If he was like my Dad, he always read the comics and would save the puzzle page for my Mom. Sometimes, playing these puzzles we remember from print just do not feel the same when on a device. If you want those Sunday mornings back, consider a Sunday Club subscription or purchase.

The issues are monthly and bundled into seasons. This means you can buy 1 issue at a time, or a season (1 issue every month for 3 months) or keep it coming all year long with the season pass. Each issue has 12 pages of beautifully designed, classic paper-and-pencil games, puzzles and fun on classic printed paper. Unplug and grab your pencil.

It truly brings the nostalgia back when you grab your pencil and begin the games. I was hooked. It is such a great way to sit in a lazy morning or even end a busy day. This makes a great gift for those that have everything already…except their Sunday mornings they remember. Explore the packages at https://sundayclub.com/

Erin Sluka

Record, feel and keep heartbeats with this smart necklace! This is the Bond Heart Necklace and you have never been able to hold onto someones heart in such a way. Store unlimited heartbeats labeled in your app. Need to feel the heartbeat of a loved one who is away, simply hold the heart in your hand and it will vibrate with their actual heartbeat recording.

The Bond Heart necklace comes in white or black. Just like your smart watch sits on a charger, so does the heart and 1 charge will last up to 3 weeks. It is small and lightweight as well as water resistant.

It works after a charge up. Download its app and record and label your heartbeat. You can send a request to a love one to send their heartbeat.
