Valentine’s Day Gifts at the Disney Store Giveaway

February 13, 2011 by Momstart 277 Comments

Last week, I really needed to get out of the house so I took Miles to the mall. The first store I saw had dresses on sale for 7.99 and lower and I wanted to go in and they them on, well Miles had another idea. He wanted nothing to do with the dress store so we went walking in the mall. We walked past the Teddy Bear store (aka Build-a-Bear) and he had to go in. So, we went in there and I was ready to go. He didn’t want to leave, so I enticed him with words like Mickey Mouse, Buzz Lightyear and Cars 2. He said, ummm The Mickey Store?

Yes let’s go to the Disney Store…..

He jumped up so fast and said, let’s go mommy, come on!

We can’t have a family trip to the mall without visiting the Disney Store and what did we find, LOTS of cute stuff for Valentine’s Day.

Miles of course loved all of the Cars toys he found along with the new Woody, Jessie and Buzz Lightyear plush. Can a kid have too many versions of Buzz and Jessie?

Mickey and Minnie Mouse are as cute as can be with these soft pie-eyes gazing out at you while holding a Valentine pouch that your loved one can put a special love note in for you to find. Valentine’s Day Mickey and Minnie Plush retail for 14.50. Dumbo can also be found in the Valentine’s Day plush set holding his own Valentine’s day pouch.

I love to drink coffee and I’m always looking at coffee mugs. So I was excited to see this pair of mugs for Mom and Dad with these Valentine’s Day Minnie and Mickey Mouse Mugs. By placing them side by side they create a picture with Mickey taking aim with Cupid’s arrow on one and Minnie is love-struck on the other. These are ceramic mugs that retail for 14.50.

Also merchandised for Valentine’s Day are Sweetheart Minnie and Mickey Mouse PJ Pal sets for girls and toddler girls. Each PJ set retails for 14.50. They are all-cotton and Disney authentic as they feature a pretty scallop-edged neckline accented with a satin bow. The contrasting cuffs and heart print pants make for pretty cute little girls PJ sets.

To keep up with all things relating to the Disney store and fun new Disney products sold in Disney Store check out The Buzz, the Disney Store’s blog.

Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas 100.00 Red Envelope Giveaway

February 6, 2011 by Momstart 1,393 Comments

Red Envelope has tons, and yes I mean tons of great gift ideas for all occasions, including Valentine’s Day. Not only do they have all occasions covered but they have gifts that are just right for about anyone. I really like looking at Red Envelope for gifts, I was introduced to them last year, I ordered a picture frame collage that was in bright colors. It’s pretty cute! As I searched even deeper into their site this year looking for a gift for my husband, I found some really great gifts that I want to share with you.

Gift ideas for Women:

These are items I would enjoy getting for Valentine’s Day.

aromatherapy wrap & booties , 12 Hand-Dipped Valentine’s Berries , year of seeds and that’s just to name a few. I have a hard time choosing something because they have so many really great options. I’d also be happy with a new picture frame, the cubist appetizer serving set, or something from their home and spa section.

Gift Ideas for Men:

Now for my husband it’s a little more tricky to find the right gift. A lot of men would be happy with a fancy tie, a Mr. Beer premium home brewer, or a men’s navy terry robe, which are all items that can be found on Red Envelope. But for my husband we need to go a little more techy or modern. Like:

hidden message money clip wallet, personalized hidden message collar stays, gadget charger for the car

Then if you really wanted to go all out for Valentine’s day I would recommend some sexy but quite tasteful items from Red Envelope. For instance, you would try out the sexy stackers game or the wrapped in love throw and of course you could match yourselves up in the king + queen of hearts lounging shorts.

RedEnvelope makes Valentine’s Day a cinch. Once you’ve picked out the perfect gift, choose delivery dates (including day-of shipping), select gift wrap, add a personalized card, and you’re set. No more trips to the mall for tired greeting cards and tacky ties!

Treat Your Valentine with a Schwan’s Dessert Delivery Giveaway

February 4, 2011 by Momstart 250 Comments

I love Schwan’s! I’m not really sure why I haven’t looked into getting a delivery from them. They have so many great options to choose from. We had their Pot Pies last Fall and now we’re eating our way through their dessert menu. I even told them I would put together a video of us trying out their desserts and while I was away, my husband ate almost all the ice cream. It was my fault really, I didn’t tell him I was going to do a video review, and I don’t like fruity ice cream. I’m just not a big fan of seeds and Raspberries are full of seeds.

The night after I got home from my trip, he asked me if I wanted any ice cream. I asked him what we had, and we had Peppermint, Spumoni and Raspberry Rumble Premium Ice Cream from Schwan’s, I wasn’t so excited about it but I said that I needed to have a bite because I needed to write a review. So, I had a bite…. and… I wanted another… and I wanted another..

My husband got up and took the bowl with him, he said, you can have your own bowl I don’t want to share anymore with you. So we each had our own bowl. And I was really sad to find out that was all that was left. It was delicious! Oh So Delicious I want MORE. I wish it was sold at the grocery store because I want it right NOW!

I was shocked because I’ve never liked fruity ice cream before. MMM

But that wasn’t all they sent me. They also sent me microwaveable brownies and a bag full of frozen berries the Triple Berry Blend. My kids adore fruit!!! When I told them they get to have a brownie and fruit they were so excited. Bouncing off the walls excited.

Again, I wasn’t disappointed in the outcome. The kids had half of a brownie each and a bowl full of fruit. Me, I just had an entire browning to myself, because of all those seeds looking out at me. So treat your Valentine to a Schwan’s Dessert Delivery Giveaway!

Enter to Win:

The ice cream $5.36
The brownies $5.68
The berries $7.40

Total value $18.44

To Enter:

Tell me what your Valentine’s Day Plans are, are they Sweet?

Happy Valentine’s Day 50.00 Gift Card Giveaway

January 18, 2011 by Momstart 270 Comments

Valentine’s Day is different for everyone. For children they like to pass around candy and little cards that they make by hand. I was always in it for the chocolate myself. Now for adults, it’s completely a different story. Some of us associate romance with Valentine’s Day and this giveaway from Annie’s Costumes is for them!!

Now, most people think of Annie’s Costumes as a Halloween store, but with everything they sell it’s for much more than that you can find a costume or outfit for any occasion, and yes, I mean any occasion. If you ask me, plenty of their costumes for women fall into the “sexy” category. Now, my recommendation is to search out something interesting to you in any category, but you should start by looking at the Valentine’s Day Costume recommendations. And while you are pursuing the site, be sure and check out the shoes!

I found this pair of Gangster shoes, and I think they would be perfect for a night of swing dancing. Did I ever tell all of you how much I love swing dancing? (sorry, I get side tracked so easily)

Annie’s Costumes sell Children’s Costumes, Adult Costumes, Pet Costumes, Stage & Theater Makeup, Candy, Party Games & Party Supplies, Props & Decorations, and Hats & Headpieces

Enter to Win:

50.00 Gift Card to purchase a costume or item of your choice! You can even buy a Halloween Costume if you want!

To Enter:

Tell me what you are going to dress up as for Halloween.

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.

Kids 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”.

The 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:

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:

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).

California Baby Valentine’s Day Line, Cold and Flu Collection #giveaway

February 5, 2010 by Momstart 123 Comments
