The Infinity Belt - She may have other belts, but none will compare to the InfinityBelt. It’s made from stretchy colored elastic that closes with hook and eyes … the same fasteners your bra has. Because there’s no buckle, the InfinityBelt™ lies perfectly flat under your clothes, so whatever you’re wearing has a perfect shape. What’s more, because it’s made from stretchy elastic, it’s a must for maternity mamas and when you’ve gained or lost some weight.





ErgoErgo - She will love this fresh take on seating! Doctors agree that we need to strengthen, not “support” our bodies. We should sit up naturally, using our own muscles instead of leaning passively against a seat back. On ErgoErgo, your body feels a new ease and freedom. The core muscles are engaged, the spine achieves its natural curve, the pelvis gently moves, and the legs stretch.
