Gel design: Instant decor you can peel off and replace or toss seems perfect for our quick-change culture. They're cheap, squishy, shot with color and adhere to glass, tile and plastic. These Gel Mania stars are washable and re-useable to boot. Not recommended for little ones (they look too much like Jell-o jigglers). Pack of 15 stars is $4.59 at Kroger. But look for similar models at crafts and home stores.

Astro baby: Newborns are heavenly, especially if they sleep through the night. But Marion Erwin of Fort Thomas, who created www.astrologystarbaby.com, believes a tot's astrological birth sign provides personality insight. Baby's profile is created using a natal horoscope of the planets at the exact moment of birth with a cover illustration by artists Marlena Hebenstreit and Amelia Riedel, also of Cincinnati, for $24.99. Birth-sign rompers, T-shirts and sweatshirts, $12.99-$17.99, are also available.

Fashion notes: Even the most mundane lists and reminders take on a chic style when scribbled on Lady Jane Ltd. notepads die cut in the curvy silhouettes of a pastel frock, jaunty shoes or pretty little purses (not shown) trimmed in applique lace and sequins. 75 sheets each. $3.49-$6.49 at Party Source in Bellevue.
