If it's just commemorative, why doesn't the father get one too?

It looks like these toys are made in Switzerland: crazy labor cost, crazy exchange rate, and expensive material too. I would never buy a Hermes bag or a Bugaboo (or a Momoll garage, for that matter), but I don't think their price point is absurd. If you can afford it, good for you.

As we say in my country (which is also Starck's, incidentally), it's a choice between plague and cholera.

It's only innerspring mattresses that need the support of a box spring - latex mattresses do not.

I second the Ikea recommendation. Their mattresses aren't organic but they are free of the awful chemicals (PBDEs) that are used in the US as flame retardants. I bought one of their higher end latex mattresses for my daughter and it's been great.

If you want to splurge on something completely organic, I recommend Savvy Rest (www.savvyrest.com). Their twin mattresses in natural latex start at $1050 and are simply the best mattresses money can buy in my opinion. The casing is made of pure organic wool which acts as a natural flame retardant (no doctor note needed).

I have an Indian stainless steel dish rack much similar to this one:

Mine is perforated at the bottom so the water can drip. I bought it off the street in Delhi for about $5 (that should give you an idea of Sir Conran's markups). It looks fantastic and it's incredibly practical.
