Just days before the birth of his son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, Tom Brady called the baby experts at Petit Tresor to help welcome his future footballer. The famous quarter back picked out a customized gift basket adorned with a miniature football and a huge blue bow to hold $2000 worth of goodies. Tom and Bridget’s son will come home dressed in this baby blue sleeper, $189, and to keep him cozy while still in the hospital, new dad requested two of these celeb baby favorite blankees, $82 each (Kingston has one too!). When he gets home, the newborn will enjoy the company of these two Alvin & Sparky cashmere teddy bears, starting at $170, and this Kaloo musical pull bear, $59. We love Tom’s adorable choices, but if it was up to us we would have sent this mini New England Patriots jersey, $30, with his dad’s namesake.

By now, we know that Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise are a fantastically well-dressed mother-daughter team. From Katie’s sexy minis, glam gowns and designer bags to Suri’s sweet dresses, the duo always looks good — and their sightseeing tour of Paris today was no exception. We love Katie’s long swirling Lanvin trench coat and sleek maroon mary jane heels, and Suri’s paper-bag waist sundress is too cute. And if there is one thing that we know that Katie likes to do in Paris, it’s shopping so we’re looking forward to a certain “je ne sais quoi” in these two’s wardrobes for a while.

Ever notice people doing their makeup in transit (or are you that beauty offender)? Whether on the subway or stuck in gridlock, there always seems to be someone frantically swiping mascara or dabbing on lip gloss. If you just don’t have time to ponder which shadow goes with which gloss in the morning, try using Stila’s The Perfect Face Kit. Complete with an eye shadow, eyeliner smudge pot and brush, mascara, lip & cheek color and a lip glaze, it’s everything you need to pull together a pretty, polished look before you leave the house without any muss, fuss or thought. Available at sephora.com, $45.
