MediaBuyerPlannet: Telemundo is increasingly incorporating products into the plot line of its telenovelas, and its newest deals are being made with manufacturers to develop brand new products for viewers to buy – products which didn’t exist before integration with the show.

The first products will be jewelry from the Richline Group. The jewelry will be worn by characters in at least 16 episodes of telenovela El Clon, the first of which will air on Telemundo on April 22. The jewelry is already available on the Telemundo website, reports The New York Times.

Another line of licensed merchandise, home decor products from Arrow Home Fashions, has been created and will begin airing in telenovelas as well as in the Telemundo morning show beginning in September.

Food2Dorm was started by a former college student at the University of Kentucky who saw firsthand how little time students have and how hard it can be for students to shop off campus. There wasn’t a quick, easy and affordable way for both college students and parents to shop for food, school supplies, care packages, dorm accessories and more. The solution to the problem was clear and Food2Dorm began in the fall of 2009.

The user-friendly website allows students to quickly go online pick out everything they need and checkout without ever having to leave their room. This can be very appealing to students who don’t have a car on campus or do not live within walking distance to a supermarket. Food2Dorm started off servicing just a few schools in the Midwest, but the world spread quickly and now they are servicing over 1600 schools nationwide.

The site boasts several great features that appeal to both the parent and the student. One being, after students have created their personal account, parents have the ability to create an account where they can deposit money into their student’s account which can only be used on the Food2Dorm website. Parents also have the ability to see what their student is purchasing and even create and save shopping lists for future orders.

Babygadget: Oh, Mother Nature, how could you be so cruel? Just as I had found the perfect baby swing, you went all Nor’easter on our back yard and downed the perfect branch for it! The “Filzchaukel” was originally made by Austrian designer John Mohr for his daughter and has even won a design award. The colors for this beautiful lambswool felt swing nearly made me swoon after so many afternoons pushing our sturdy (but pretty unattractive) Fisher Price swing.
