Macy’s First Impressions Fall Collection #Giveaway

November 6, 2010 by Momstart 282 Comments

imageFirst Impressions sent me a gift set for a boy that I am going to donate to one of the local charities around here. They sent me a First Impressions Gift Set and it turns out it is quite a generous donation. The boys clothing is quite a handsome collection and everything is easy to mix and match making quite a sizable wardrobe. The clothing is exclusive to Macy’s and in my opinion has that “Macy’s” quality you would expect. At least when I think of Macy’s I think of great brands that hold up over time. I would have loved to receive something like this as a gift for my babies when they were that small and one thing I love about Macy’s is that they have great sales.

First Impressions is a collection of classic clothing for newborns and infants featuring sweet, traditional designs, fine fabrics and time-honored details, with an emphasis on special occasion dressing. The charm and refinement of First Impressions clothing and matching accessories make it a favorite gift choice.

imageEach First Impressions gift set includes a fall Look Book featuring the collection, an outfit from the Satin Hanger Collection, a three or four piece layette set from the Everyday Value Collection and an adorable plush animal.

Donation from Aurora: YooHoo & Friends Valentine’s Day and Easter Pals #giveaway

February 8, 2010 by Momstart 124 Comments

Aurora sent me a donation to send off to the charity of my choice and one to giveaway on my blog. They sent the YooHoo & Friends raccoon and fox.

PrintKids of all ages, young an old will enjoy the five and eight inch YooHoo & Friends characters. My son, especially loves the cute little sounds they make when you push on their little tummies. I had to snatch it right back out of his hands before he decided that it was his new toy. He sister already understood it was a donation so she was yelling at her brother, “It’s a donation bubbie”.

 

clip_image002The 2010 introductions include the brand new 24-inch original YooHoo & Friends in pink and blue (MSRP: $109.99), which are great for rounding out retail displays. A birthday assortment includes two styles and each plays the song “Happy Birthday” when squeezed (5”, MSRP $7.99).

Aurora is another company that also includes a free, interactive Web site www.yoohoofriends.com with the purchase of one of the YooHoo & Friends plush animals. Actually, it doesn’t even require an activiation code. I encourage you to learn more about the YooHoo & Friends’ endangered animals.

 “Fans everywhere write to tell us that the Web site makes learning about creatures in their natural habitats fun and entertaining for their children.”

When on the site, you can play games, download wallpapers, calendars and icons, watch previews for the upcoming YooHoo & Friends animations and adopt and raise YooHoo & Friends. The YooHoo & Friends are forest creatures and their story is set in a forest called Yootopia, which features the “Tree of Life.” Your kids can join YooHoo & Friends on magical journeys that teach them to value friendship, harmony, honesty and courage. Which are life lessons we all need to learn and practice.

For Valentines:Valentine's YooHoo & Friends

YooHoo Greetings” which combines the two most popular selling Valentine’s Day items – a plush toy and greeting card. Showing its soft side, Aurora’s “I Wuv U” Bears and “U Make Me Wild” Monkeys are sure to tug at the heartstrings of your special someone. Pearls Before Swine’s cheeky Valentine editions, based on the world famous comic strip, round out Aurora’s product highlights for its Valentine’s catalog.

Welcoming Spring and Easter, YooHoo & Friends are available in six styles sporting bunny ears (5”, MSRP $6.99). The graduation themed YooHoo & Friends are available in yellow, pink and blue; each makes a sound, holds a ribbon scroll and dons a graduation cap that reads, “Big Dreams” (5”, MSRP $6.99).

The YooHoo & Friends line also includes four “WannaBes” featuring YooHoo & Friends dressed as other popular animals – pig, bear, frog and panda. The Springtime WannaBes are available in three styles as either a pink or purple bunny or duck. WannaBes have removable hoodies (5” with sound, MSRP $8.99), and retailers will appreciate 12-piece display box for impulse buys. “YooHoo WannaBes encourage kids to play, pretend and exercise their imaginations, which is reinforced as they head over to the virtual world of yoohoofriends.com,” Kessler says.

 

For Easter:

 Aurora Spring YooHoo & Friends 30680c 

For Easter, Aurora’s bestselling YooHoo & Friends, one of the world’s most popular selling plush lines, is available in six styles and welcome Spring sporting bunny ears (5” with sound, MSRP $6.99). The cute and creative mischief-making YooHoo & Friends WannaBes are available in three styles as either a pink or purple bunny or duck. Each features bright colors with removable hoodies (5” with sound, MSRP $8.99). Retailers will appreciate YooHoo & Friends being sold as part of the 12-piece display box.

There are four new styles joining the Dreamy Eyes line whose cast of characters already includes Bashful the Rabbit, Loveable the Lamb and Dewie the Duck (10”, MSRP $11.99). New for Easter 2010 are the five-inch bee, butterfly and frog – each makes a funny sound when squeezed (MSRP $6.49).

Child to Cherish Holiday Gift Guide

November 30, 2009 by Momstart 3 Comments

 

Child to Cherish is one of the companies I like to work with on Mom Start. The reason is because they are one of the first companies to work with me and they didn’t care about my stats.

Of course, that’s not the most important reason to work with them. The most important is because of the quality they have in their products.

 

LITTLE BAKER SUITCASE COLLECTION

littlebakerset.jpg compressedThe new “Little Baker” collection is offered in a Grandma (with grandma mouse and bear designs and Child to Cherish signature wording “Ready or Not Grandma…Here I Come!) or Little Baker series.  The 11.25 x 8 x 3.5-inch tin suitcases feature whimsical animal designs with bears, mice and bunnies.  Inside the suitcase is everything any little baker needs-apron, wooden rolling pin and spoon, cookie cutters and 5 scrumptious cookie recipes (Sugar, Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Gingerbread and Snickerdoodle cookies). 

Available in either Little Baker Series with three designs (boy, girl, Christmas) or

LILY THE LADYBUG BANK picture

I find that piggy banks are hard to find, espically when you are looking for one. Well Child to cherish has a large collection and they are always available.

Recommended Retail: 20.99

.

 

"BUTTER" THE COW picture

You can find cute plush like this cow. He’s so cute and I know lots of people like to collect cows. So think of Child to Cherish because they support charity like Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

Recommended Retail: 19.99

 

 

 

 

child2I have reviewed the handprint tower of time and it was so easy to use. You can read all the details here but I had to include it in my Child to Cherish Holiday Gift Guide.
