Things Remembered Mother’s Day Giveaway

April 28, 2011 by Momstart 175 Comments

The month of May is such a wonderful month. It’s my birthday (no, I won’t tell you how old I am) and it’s Mother’s Day. Picking out the perfect gift for mom can be a daunting task. I know for me, I always tell my husband not to spend any money on me, but he does anyways and it makes me happy.

One of my favorite brands that I get to work with here on my blog is Things Remembered. They have the best products and make it so easy to personalize something. I was asked to pick something out for myself or a mom I know and well, I couldn’t follow directions. My daughter, loves jewelry right now. I mean, she’s a little princess and wears something every day. I found the Things Remembered Fashion Birthstone Necklace and knew that she would love it. We’re saving it for a special occasion…just look at it:

The thing about Things Remembered is that their quality is always amazing and it holds up to the test of time. I have a piece of jewelry from Things Remembered from when I was in high school and that was over 10 years ago (I still refuse to tell you my age). I’m a big fan of Things Remembered and everything they sell.

Novica Home Décor & Jewelry Giveaway

September 26, 2010 by Momstart 388 Comments

Novica has some very modern and Asian inspired home décor products that I would love to decorate my house with. In fact, I have been given a gift card from Novica to use to purchase something, but with all of the great and wonderful furniture and home décor items I just cannot make up my mind. I love the paintings, and the decorative boxes that Novica has in their selection on-line. Calling them boxes isn’t actually fair to how decorative they are. They should be called treasure chests and trunks. I would love to have a trunk at the end of my bed for decoration and storage. I have tons of blankets and material that I need to put somewhere other than the closet that is already way too full. How do houses get full so fast I wonder?

Novica also specializes in selling very fine silver jewelry. Their sterling silver jewelry has so really great pieces ranging from earrings to necklaces. I’m not as big into jewelry as say my daughter or even my mother is but I can appreciate what they have.

Enter to win:

50.00 Gift Card to Novica

To Enter:

Visit their home décor section or their sterling silver jewelry and tell me what you might purchase with your gift card. The gift card expires October 30th so you’ll need to use it asap after the giveaway.

Mother’s Day Kate Hines Delicate Drops Necklace Giveaway

April 17, 2010 by Momstart 789 Comments

"A woman wears jewelry that is of her choosing, that is an expression of herself. Once chosen, it is no longer the designer’s, but her own.”

Meet Kate Hines:

Kate Hines is a jewelry designer that combines modern and classic and creates art you can wear. Each piece is an elegant addition to any outfit. Pearl Puddles is one of her brands and the collection includes freshwater pearls, that make unique authentic jewelry any woman would love to wear. A graduate of the renowned Rhode Island School of Design, Kate Hines has designed exquisite, quality jewelry for many decades. As a long-standing designer of private-label jewelry, Hines has built a passionate and loyal following of women seeking jewelry that reflects and enhances who they are – or want to become. Her designs have been showcased in cutting-edge boutiques from Madison Avenue to Rodeo Drive, as well as in fashion-forward retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys, and Nordstrom. Today, Hine’s passion and focus is the enduring beauty of pearls: "Pearls are light solidified. They inspire and illuminate. Each pearl is different. Softer than jewels, they glow against your skin. They should be worn everyday, whether you’re wearing your t-shirt … or your tiara.”

Holiday Attire for Kids from The Puddles Collection #giveaway

December 17, 2009 by Momstart 215 Comments

I contacted Puddles for a donation and they really really wanted a review, so I decided that this is something that my MOMS Club could actually share. While talking to them I found that the owner is also a MOMS Club member so it’s a small world and MOMS Club is everywhere which is a good thing because moms all need support.

What is The Puddles Collection?

Puddles Collection is a children’s clothing boutique with the most fashionable dresses and suits for boys and girls. I was more impressed with their boys collection, not because their dresses were lacking. On the contrary, the dresses are beautiful. I’m just impressed at how large the boys collection is. Boys are hard to shop for and their dress outfits are terribly difficult to find. At puddlescollection.com they are very easy to find, and order.

WILLIAM - BOYS SUIT

Kristie Sherrill from the Customer Service Team at Puddles sent me the William Suit for review.

This boys classic five piece suit is perfect for your next formal event! It comes with a matching jacket, pants, vest, and tie. The black suit comes with an ivory or pink shirt and the navy suit comes with a blue shirt.

I received the ivory shirt and just fell in love with the outfit. I can’t wait to get it on my son, I just haven’t been able to. I didn’t have time before my surgery and now I couldn’t dress my son if I wanted to. I have to be very careful. From just looks, the quality is great, the texture is great. I know it would be perfect for wedding attire and very special outings or holiday photos.

I had to have help reviewing this one because of my surgery. I’m going to get pictures taken and I’ll have to post them in February. But for now, here is a fellow mom and her view!

"The suit is so cute; gramma and I loved seeing the little man all James Bond. Really who could resist?!? However, the neck was tight for buttoning (although it would have fit, making a 3 year old hold still to do so is another matter — unless your son is ‘more-model’ than mine(which won’t be too hard)) so the snap on tie never made it on. The black elements seemed to stay wrinkle free even after I borrowed the suit and forgot about it in my trunk for about a week, BUT the white shirt did wrinkle … BUMMER for kids’ clothes, BUT you can’t see the shirt too much under the vest and jacket away."

He looks adorable though doesn’t he! – my opinion!

Puddles has decided to offer one of our readers a Hearts & Pearls Bracelet.
