MISCELLANEOUS WRY BABY Homebase: Mooresville, NC CREATOR: David and Kelly Sopp Pillowcases' wholesale price: Approximately $18 Wry is the right word for the playfully subversive gift items dreamed up by the Sopps. The "On Duty" and "Off Duty" pillowcases help a parent remember who's doing the late night feeding.

WARM WHISKERS Homebase: Woodland Hills, CA CREATOR: Amy Ryan Wholesale prices: $4-$18 If I were confined to a jail cell, I'd play a recording of a purring cat to keep me calm. The next best thing: a microwaveable Warm Whiskers eye pillow, Pocket Critter or Polar Bear Buddy. Each plush or fleece-covered item is filled with buckwheat and lavender, two scents prized for their soothing effects. The pieces can be microwaved to warm cold necks and hands or chilled in the freezer for a boo-boo treatment. Moms like the pieces for tired shoulders.

BOOKS HANDSTAND KIDS COOKBOOKS Homebase: Calabasa, CA AUTHOR: Yvette Garfield Wholesale prices: $14 for cookbook and kit. Hat only: $4.95 Handstand Kids Cookbooks are for children who would rather spend an hour watching Iron Chef than numbing out in front of a video game. The recipes in her Italian Cookbook are easy to follow and clearly illustrated. In May, Garfield will launch the Mexican version in time for Cinco de Mayo. The book comes in a pizza box with a chef's hat.
