Even if you didn’t get the chance to visit the Real Simple Holiday Pop-Up Shop at NYC’s Citi Pond at Bryant Park (above is a photo from the launch party, featuring DWTS’s Carson Kressley), you can still shop for some of the best goodies online. Here are my 3 of my favorite picks from the event, and where to buy them now. Check out other gift suggestions in Real Simple’s 20011 Holiday Gift Guide, too.
Lego Drinking Bottles ($11.99 at The Container Store). Really cute as a stocking stuffer–for kids or kids-at-heart. 
Hatbox Cosmetic Bags ($46 at Vera Bradley). I saw NYC weatherman Sam Champion scooping up several of these as Christmas gifts! 
Just Let Me Lie Down: Necessary Terms for the Half-Insane Working Mom ($10.19 at Amazon.com). This was written by the editor of Real Simple and looks fantastic. I mean, look at that cover! 
I also want to tell you more about the Pop-Up Shop’s charity sponsor, Donors Choose. It made quite an impression on me. More on that in another post.
I am looking to antted a newborn workshop in 2012. I posted this on a FB forum and your name came highly recommended by several people. I live in Indiana in Brownsburg on the west side of Indianapolis. Are your newborn workshops for 2012 open to Indiana photographers? Thanks.Nicole
