Giftable Delights

Though we proudly carry All Things Modern for the Mini, we also feature items that are good for everyone on your gifting list. Know a couple getting married? Or someone moving into a new house? Or perhaps you need an thank-you gift for mini's teacher! Below are a few of our very favorite- and NEWEST - giftable designs!

The Loop Candelabra from black + blum is elegant, modern, and affordable! For $28, your nearest and/or dearest can hold a pair of candlesticks gracefully.

 

Maybe your favorite couple is big into BLUES... so give the gift of color with this set of six Pantone mugs in various blue tones! Just $90 for these fine bone china mugs.

 

Perhaps your favorite gardener is short on space, or maybe mini's teacher wants a garden in his or her classroom! The Boskke Sky Planter is made from recycled plastic and will conveniently hang wherever you can fit it. Only $18 each so you may as well buy a pair!

Go GREEN for St. Patty's Day!

The term "green" has two meanings these days, and we're going to combine them!

First up, the BBO2 collection from notNeutral. This durable, outdoor collection comes in green (and blue, black, or white) and is made from 100% recycled post consumer HDPE. What's that, you ask? High density polyethylene, ie milk jugs, margarine tubs, etc. Super green!

Next up, the family-friendly Offi Mod Lounger design by Lisa Albin. Made from #4 recycled plastic and perfect for the whole family. Another outdoor item, it comes in six colors... including green!

Not necessarily looking for furniture? Then how about some OXOtot products for mini? While not made from recycled materials, OXOtot products are durable and non-toxic, and the fact you're using them over and over - rather than paper or styrofoam products - is just as eco-friendly!

NEW products... in-store only!

Though we do try to list everything in-store on our site, it's just so difficult to keep up with!

A Hydrated Mini is a Happy Mini

With this strangely warm winter weather, most of us are more active than normal this time of year. Stay hydrated and keep mini watered too! Lifefactory glass bottles with silicone sleeves can help with that! 

These 16oz bottles are perfect for minis on the go...

 

While the 22oz bottles provide even more hydration for teens & adults.

Mini in the Kitchen

Minis go through many phases... and one usually involves cooking! All of a sudden, you cannot get her OUT of the kitchen! You love that she wants to help, but it can certainly get messy... and it makes you notice just how boring your cooking and baking tools are. Make cooking with mini even more creative with some great products!

The Elevate Carousel from the award-winning Joseph Joseph company... six of your most necessary utencils on a space-saving carousel! Fun and functional to the max!

The Juicy Salif from Alessi... sturdy enough for mini to take all that lemon juice and make lemonade!

 

Once it's mealtime, reward mini's hard work by letting her sip milk with a very personalized straw from Nuop!

 

 

Indoor Sports

So how about this weather? It's either freezing cold with no snow OR it's barely even sweater weather but it's rainy and awful! And what makes minis - and parents - more frustrated than an unpredictable climate? Nothing to do, that's what! 

One of our msot favorite activities comes from modern-twist, where what you eat on is just as important as what you're eating! Their food-grade silicone placemats come with dry-erase markers so mini can eat, then color, then erase, then color again, etc. We love the Day at the Pond set!

How about some theatrical play? The Deep Into The Forest play theater is perfect for minis who like to create stories while playing. 

If you've got a mini who loves to build, put a new spin on blocks with the EVA Mini Foam Chairs from Offi. Sold in pairs, these tiny seats are perfect for dolls... or for turning into a tower!

Mini Meal Time

Get everything mini needs for a successful lunch date here at modernseed.com! First things first, the high chair. We like the Sprout from OxoTot. Available in three different color combinations, this high chair is also easy to use and can adjust to seat mini from six months to five years of age!

Next, the dishes. How about the melamine snack sets by notNeutral? The six-piece set comes with a tray, plate, bowl, cup, and two easy-to-use utencils. Everything mini needs! Color combinations include red/black, orange/yellow, and green/blue.

 

Last but not least, the FUN part of mealtime; a Strawz set from Nuop. Available in pink, lime, or aqua blue this build-a-straw kit enables mini to let loose her inner engineer!

Make mealtime more fun for mini!

Have you seen the silicone placemats from modern-twist? They're staff favorites! Purchase dry-erase markers for mini to color in as she pleases and then wash when she's ready to re-color... what could be easier? To top it off, these placemats are BPA-free and made of food-grade silicone. What you eat on is just as important as what you eat!

Perfect for new parents!

Got a new parent to shop for? OXO Tot products are functional and stylish! Available in bright orange, grass green, or aqua.
