Brother Bear 2

Since being turned into a bear as punishment for his insensitivity in Brother Bear, Kenai has managed to find true happiness and a compelling sense of purpose in his new relationship with his adopted brother Koda. But when Kenai's old friend Nita prepares for her wedding day with another man, the spirits send a sign indicating that a strong connection still exists between Kenai and Nita. The tribe Shaman suggests that the two join forces in a ritual to sever the bond between them and Nita, newly endowed with the ability to communicate with animals, seeks out Kenai in the woods. In the end, destiny may require that each of the three choose between his or her happiness and the happiness of the other two. SRP $29.99.

Child-Sized Reusable Lunchbox Bottler

There is a need for a solution regarding the surge of water bottle waste. According to a study from the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, the average American schoolchild creates 45 to 90 lbs of trash a year. For an average-sized elementary school, that's over 18,000 pounds of trash a year. Water bottles can take between 400 and 1,000 years to decompose. The Lunchbox Bottle's reusable quality provides a fun and simple way to help cut back on a family's waste contribution and ease landfill overflow. The 8 oz Lunchbox bottle is dishwasher safe and can store both hot and cold beverages. SRP $3.75. (800) 592-8371. www.newwaveenviro.com

DermaSmart

 
 

Traditionally, children with skin conditions accompanied by severe itching, dryness, redness, irritation, and an extreme sensitivity to touch are treated with either oral or topical drugs, or a combination of both. Now there is an additional method for symptom relief available with DermaSmart, a silky, soft, breathable fabric containing silver, which is a safe, natural antimicrobial. The fabric significantly reduces the friction, or drag, of the fabric against the skin and is made of 100% microfiber polyester in a very lightweight jersey knit construction. When sensitive skin comes in contact with it, it calms and soothes, rather than irritates. This is the first time that fabric has been shown in a clinical study to provide soothing relief. Available in both adult and children’s sizes. SRP $30 for a youth long sleeve top. www.dermasmart.com
