All Scoops by Titania Jordan in Every City

ReCrib is the brainchild of two New York City parents who obviously get what it’s like to lack storage space. The new online marketplace enables parents to sell (or buy) high quality, gently used baby gear. Unloaders get some cash back for the stuff they barely used, and shoppers can avoid dropping full price on, say, a swing. Win-Win. Recrib.com

A company in Japan, Rezon, is making actual-size rubber stamps of babies' hand and foot prints. Just email them a scanned picture of your baby's print, and they'll create a custom stamp. The website provides instructions on how to take your baby's print (definitely a little unnerving to think about inking your baby's hand or foot). The "Otete" (and) and "Anyo" (foot) stamps are about $115 each, with current currency conversions. Includes shipping. Available at otetetoanyo.com.

Everything about Company's "Dance Shoes, For the Father and the Daughter" is over-the-top and impractical, from the 95 Euro price tag, to the 25 Euro shipping fee from Finland, to the ordering process (email info@com-pa-ny.com), to the odds that they'll actually fit comfortably. Yet, we're still somehow obsessed with them. www.com-pa-ny.com
