Perfect for the trophy room, but just way more animal friendly. No taxidermy here, this GUND Wild and Wooly Deer Plush Wall Décor brings a wee bit of the wildness to your kid’s walls. Cute and a little kooky, you can pick up one of these plush faux fur mounted heads here from Kohl’s for $59.99.

Sesame Street Puppets

Sesame Street Puppets. Need I say more? Thanks to Gund, your child's favorite Sesame Street characters are interactive and cuddly, even on the inside.

On a personal note, I'm glad these puppets are much cuter than they used to be. Back in the day, Bert was a bit creepy. My younger sister loved Sesame Street and for her 8th birthday she got the big Bert puppet. See photo. Yep, he only had four fingers. And there wasn't anything cuddly about him. Anyway, Bert sat right beside her bed at night until he got a bit handsy. My sister swears he pinched her on the butt. In fact, if you asked her about it today, she'd still tell the same story. Needless to say, Bert lived in a box for the rest of his days in our home.

Have a funny story about one of your childhood toys? Fashion Plates? Barbies? GI Joe? Please share it!

I'm all about "Gotta Getta Gund," but after a certain point, do you think it maybe starts to look like you're overcompensating?

If you've got it, flaunt it, I guess: This 80" tall, 40-pound plushie will run you $500 at Hammacher Schlemmer.

Plush Baby Photo Albums from Gund

Baby books for newborn babies are always a good gift, but I've always been a fan of baby photo albums. We've been the recipient of a few soft sided books with family pictures in them over the years, but my favorite are from Gund.

We have the traditional "My Family Photo Album" (shaped like a house), but Gund makes a lot of other versions too. There's the "Look At Me!" photo album, the "Grandma, Grandpa and Me" photo album and my favorite, "Big Sister Photo" photo album (pictured). Most are available for $9.99 to $17.99 at Amazon.com.
