I don’t have a kid, nephew or niece. I have no idea what to give to my friend’s babies. It has to be useful, visually beautiful, and original — something my designery friends want to put up on their walls. I’ve finally found it! Illustrator Ida Pearle’s Alphabet Cards fits every criteria, and it’s in such good taste, it even makes the giver look good.
