AP9 Connections Takes an Early Look at Some Hot New Toys for the Holiday Season

Stamford, CN (PRWEB) October 26, 2005

It?s never too early to start your holiday shopping, reports AP9 Connections, a leading membership discount program offered by Adaptive Marketing LLC, especially if you want to pick up the hottest toys before they start flying off the shelves.


With every holiday season, it seems, comes the newest fad, the coolest gadget or the hottest toy, whether it?s pet rocks, Beanie Babies or iPods. Whether they want to stay on the cutting edge of the toy industry or go their own way, AP9 Connections members can save on practically all of their holiday shopping needs by logging on to DealPass. and buying gift cards at a significant discount for popular retailers across the country.


In the run-up to the holidays, word-of-mouth about certain items increases demand, which decreases supply, which increases demand, which tends to increase prices, and pretty soon you?re either shut out or priced out of buying that item. To help you get a jump on the early favorites for kids this year, AP9 Connections offers you a glimpse of a few of the treats coming soon to a store near you:


-- For kids up to three years old, the Laugh and Learn(TM) Stride-to-Ride Learning Walker from Fisher-Price offers a lot of bells and whistles to get your baby thinking and doing in a safe environment. The Learn-Around(TM) Playground from LeapFrog is an all-in-one activity center designed to help babies and toddlers learn everything from colors, shapes, first words and textures to the alphabet, numbers and counting, rhyming words, musical creativity and more.


-- Barbie(TM) fans (ages 6+) will enjoy her new movie (available on DVD and VHS), ?Barbie(TM) and The Magic of Pegasus,? as well as new, movie-themed toys and accessories, including princess dolls, winged horses and playsets. The movie is an inspirational story of hope and family love that encourages young girls to stretch their imaginations and explore their creativity.


-- Young Batman(TM) fans (ages 4+) will be clamoring for the ?Batman Begins(TM) Transforming Gotham City(TM) Playset.? Complete with all of the gadgets for which Batman(TM) is famous, the playset transforms from the ?Batman Begins(TM) Batmobile(TM)? into a Gotham City layout that includes nine action stations, a pop-out train, lights, sounds and more.


-- For the budding film buff in your life, consider the Vidster(TM), a digital video camera that allows kids (ages 8+) to make their own movies. Easy to use right out of the box, the Vidster includes a 2.0 digital zoom lens, built-in microphone, color LCD viewfinder, tripod mount and removable hand-grip attachment. And the videos your kids create can be e-mailed, uploaded onto websites, or stored and viewed on DVDs.


On top of savings on gift cards for major toy stores, AP9 Connections members can also enjoy significant savings on books, music, videos, restaurant meals, movie tickets, theme park admissions and much more.

Bella Luna Toys Makes Top 10 Green Business List

Rockland, ME (PRWEB) September 20, 2011

Bella Luna Toys has made the list of Top Ten nominees for the Green Business of the Year award from Green America, a non-profit membership organization based in Washington D.C. and dedicated to harnessing the power of the marketplace to create an environmentally sustainable society.


The nominees were chosen by visitors to the organization?s website, http://www.greenamerica.org. The final winner, to be chosen by a second round of voting that ends on October 6, will be announced during the week of October 10.


Making the Top Ten Green Business list is an honor for Bella Luna Toys owner Sarah Baldwin, who, as an approved business member of Green America, is required to document the company?s eco-friendly and fair labor business practices.


Baldwin stocks her Internet retail site entirely with natural toys made from natural and organic materials such as wood, cotton, wool, and non-toxic finishes and vegetable dyes. Even the company?s gift ribbon is produced from renewable, biodegradable cotton fiber, grown and processed responsibly in the USA with water-based dyes, soy inks, and without chlorine bleaches.


While the playthings offered at Bella Luna Toys come from many corners of the world, the company specializes in toys made locally in Maine and New England.


Says Baldwin, ?My business is in the beautiful state of Maine, where the local economy?from wood products to lobsters to tourism?depends on a healthy and sustainable environment. So I?m proud to be a part of that Maine tradition as well as to support many small Maine toymakers. By finding as many products as I can locally, I'm also reducing our carbon footprint."


Eco-friendly and fair-trade products from Bella Luna Toys will be featured in the November/December issue of Green American, the magazine of Green America, as well as the November issue of Yankee magazine.


Baldwin, a former Waldorf kindergarten teacher and author of Nurturing Children and Families, also writes a popular blog, Moon Child, on which she addresses child development, play, and Waldorf education.


About Bella Luna Toys:


Established in 2002, Bella Luna Toys has become a leader in online sales of Waldorf toys by striving to provide families with the best possible service and broad selection of natural toys and art supplies, designed to inspire a child?s imagination and creativity.


Earlier this year, Bella Luna Toys was named by the editors of Reader?s Digest a "Best Website for Fair Trade Toys.?
