Ecomomics: Chalkboards on the Cheap!
If your child rides their board for miles, don't pass up this skateboard chalkboard ($11) that comes with decals for tagging. Made of molded plywood, the sporty piece of wall decor doubles as a cool place to leave messages that may actually be read. If you've got a child that likes to roll wild, take advantage of this goodie's drastic discount. It's about one fourth of the original price ($40)!
Ecomomics: Bargain Booties!
Your babe may not be ready to hit the ice, but these darling booties are just the right price! The red and white knit Ice Skate Booties ($7) from Crazy 8 have lots of bang and two faux blades for your buck! Wrap a pair up and give them as a gift or spoil your own sweet child!
