Where can I buy a mobile for a crib as a gift?
Any specific good one?
What's a typical price to pay for one?

Amazon has many, with lots of reviews for all of them.

Not sure where they got it, but we received a "mitzvah mobile" as a baby gift that plays "adon olam". I thought that was very nice. We say that our baby boy is "learning torah"! Gotta start them young! Wink

Miami85, that's so cute!

OP, I think with something like this that's basically just to look at, it doesn't matter so much which one you get. Whatever looks nice in your price range should do fine. Go for something with bold designs rather than pastel colors, babies like to look at that. No long strings (if they even still make them) so if the baby reaches it somehow they can't get entangled.

I had twins so I got 2 1) the mitzvah mobile - it has a mezuza and 3 other mitzva items going around

2)Tiny Love one that went up and down and had lights kept my baby busy for longer. It was similar to this

but it was at least 6 years ago that I bought mine so I wouldn't have any specific one to recommend.

The tiny love mobiles are the best. They run between 45-50 dollars. I had the mitzvah one and the tny love. My babys all liked the tuiny love one.

Thanks everyone.
I love tiny love products. Their colors do look a lot more exciting than the Mitzvah one. ( thanks twin amother for the links.)
Now I gotta decide if I want to spend so much.

What do you all say to this?

Amother, you might be right about the lights.
My babies love my tiny love mobile with the lights in them. Maybe I just stick to that.

BTW if you can't find another deal, Babies R Us has 20% off any purchase today, probably tomorrow too, not sure. Tiny Love mobile should be included, it's not one of the snobby brands afaik.

I like anything w a light - it's attractive to a baby and if its dark wen they go to sleep ( ie the winter) they can still see the mobile go round if its got lights otherwise they only hear music .

Just realized the BRU discount was only with a minimum purchase. Bah. I was hoping to use it on something. I hate those tease-y emails.

I was looking for something else on Nobetterdeal.com and I see they have a whole bunch of baby monitors well priced. I've ordered from them in the past things that said opened/damaged box and they came looking pretty much new.
