Cookie: Picks of the Week

Bugs in a Blanket
Even if the thought of any kind of bed bugs completely freaks you out, we think your kids will be charmed by this story of little insects that live in and old blanket. Plus, the book evokes the coziness of the bugs' texture-rich world through the mixture of a felted wool technique and an amalgam of appliqué, fabrics, and stitching. $10, Amazon.

Suki Shirt
You can tell that architect and illustrator Ivo Bisignano truly understands the way kids' minds work, because his Suki shirts combine style and story time. The tees, made from 100 percent organic fabric and come in three styles, depict a group of children (including a girl named Cookie!) "who existed in a world of fantasy and dreams." Beyond 7, (646) 619-6857.

MiGi Alphabet Bedding
This adorable crib set includes a comforter, bumper, dust ruffle, and crib sheet and with a little luck, you're little one might be on her way to a spelling bee trophy sooner than you thought. $180, Bed Bath & Beyond.

NoteNibbles
Designed to be packaged with your child's lunchbox, these customizable notes are perfect for reminding and encouraging your child during their school day. Each box comes with a variety of thoughts, and you can mix and match your order to suit your needs. $11, NoteNibbles.

Bulga Bag
We're definitely lusting after this fabulous carry-it-all-wherever-you-go "it" bag. The leather is supple and divine and the color is edgy and sophisticated and we think it would look just perfect perched in crook of our elbow. $605, Bulga.

5 Minute Candles
You can keep a pack in your bag, your kitchen drawer, and one in your office and you'll be set to celebrate impromptu special moments. $10 for a set of four, MoMA.

Fayreform Bra and Panty Set
Surprise him with a Father's Day gift you'll both get to enjoy; this particular set will give you all the contouring and lift you need without sacrificing the sexy-factor. $30-$68, Nordstrom.

hudson whiskey
It's slightly spicy, evocative of sappy wood, light smoke, and char (no, not him, the whiskey), and the packaging is right up his alley. It's a gentleman's drink and happens to be the first rye whiskey legally made in New York since prohibition. $42, Morrell Wine.

IF-Mode Folding Bicycle
Motivate him! This folding bike avoids oily chains, complex tubes with hidden dirt traps, and the clutter of traditional bike features. It's also meant for city commuters and is perfectly convenient folded away at home and at the office, which basically means he's out of excuses. $2,250, Areaware.

Chef's Planet BBQ Tool Kit
The perfect BBQ tool kit with stainless steel, dishwasher safe utensils in a compact and easy-to-store roll up canvas bag. $40, Chef's Planet.
