These are some of my favorite posts from around the web over the past week.

First up there were a number of nice gift guides posted this past week including this Christmas Gift Guide 2011 : Handmade and Eco-friendly Toys on Petit Eco Kids.

You should also take a look at the For Your Wee Ones: Christmas Gift Guide on With Two Cats.

And if you haven’t found the perfect gift yet, try the blossom kids gift guide.

I also liked this simple but wonderful nursery tour of Aidan’s Blue, Green & Tranquil Room on Ohdeedoh.

Finally, lots of blogs were buzzing about Eco-friendly BeginAgain Toys.  I saw them first on Inhabitots though and so if you haven’t seen them, go have a look.  These make great gifts as well!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and a relaxing or productive Black Friday.  Tonight we’re celebrating my children’s great-grandmother’s 85th birthday.  They are so lucky to have two lovely great-grandmothers who dote on them the way theirs do.

One final reminder that it’s the last weekend to enter this week’s giveaways.  We’ve got a super soft and cuddly Oeuf Snake and a Chalk Table and Bench Set from P’kolino.  These are awesome prizes and I’d love for some of my loyal readers to win!
