PROGRESSIVE PARTY
Teach your little ones the importance of giving back and avoid adding to the mountain of toys that has, no doubt, already invaded your space. Echoage, a free e-mail party invite service for kids, prompts guests to donate between $10 and $30 (the average cost of a present). Half goes to a charity of your choice and half is pooled with other guests’ money for one meaningful gift for the child. Save time, save trees, save money, give back—and spare yourself from the overwhelming brigade of toys that was marching toward your den. (www.echoage.com)

KIDS SAY THE DARNEDEST THINGS
How many times a day are you completely tickled by the hilarious—and oh-so-honest—things that your children say? And although you swear you’ll remember them forever, the reality is, you won’t. Capture what comes out of the mouths of babes in Words to Remember, a journal made especially for kids’ amusing maxims.
