HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY!!!

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

No small chit chat today, I’m getting right to the point…BabyLuxe {daily} is giving away over 20 fabulous prizes to our loyal luxe readers, YOU!! Our way of saying Thank You for a spectacular 2008 of sharing one amazing product after another with you and with hopes that this special feature and giveaway will help jump start you into the Holiday Spirit! Fill your bellies tomorrow but today, read with us and enter to win one prize after another after another! {Every item listed today will be given away and only one entry needed to be entered for all prizes! These are some of my all time favorite items, along with many others!}

Let’s start with one of the most popular items out there this year, the Leapfrog Didj and a game to go with it! A $120 value could be yours {if your husband is like mine he may keep it for himself instead of giving it to the children, it’s that fun!} Diji is the first ever handheld gaming system that lets you customize both the gaming and the learning. Everyone loves Leapfrog and for all they do to educate our children in a fun way, and the new Didj meets and exceeds all expectations!

Tots on the Go wants to introduce you to the most stylish stroller on the market for 2009, the UPPAbaby Vista! Oh yah, and they also want to give one away, a Holiday Red one, how awesome is that! At a $549 value, this lightweight, extremely portable stroller is sure to be all the rave for the New Year! Feature after reliable feature, I can not wait to see how much the winner of this stroller loves it!

Boon Inc. has never let us down when it comes to innovative, awesome looking baby products! Their Flair highchair has got to be the best looking highchair with it’s distinctive modern style, and it could be yours {or you could give it as a gift and be known as the best gift giver ever!} Valued at $230…this is so on my list this year!

Next is my all time favorite and stylish diaper bag from Zosephine! Valued at $116, the winner of this awesome bag can pick the design and color they want so make sure you check out the four fabulous bags on their site! Everything about this bag is modern and trendy; it’s “look” is less diaper bagish more hip mama! It’s easy to clean, and has plenty of room {including the ever popular cell phone pocket in the front for easy access}. What a great gift for new mommies this year!

You all know that BabyLuxe is a HUGE fan of Robeez and we are so thrilled they have offered to giveaway 4 pairs of shoes in our holiday giveaway! One lucky winner will receive a year’s worth of Robeez shoes for their little one! That’s over a $120 value and one amazing gift! Robeez will always remain a favorite here on BabyLuxe! They are absolutely the perfect first soft-soled shoe for any child; their designs are adorable, their quality is superb, and Robeez shoes are in my opinion “healthy” for baby’s growing feet!

Stay warm and cozy with your children next to the fireplace with this gorgeous organic couch blanket from Organic Blankees! A $138 value, at 52×72, and made from 100% luxurious organic cotton or fleece, these large monogrammed blankets are beyond beautiful and perfectly cozy! And again, these would make a to die for gift for anyone on your list! Who would not want to win this???

Remember how I mentioned a while back after Aidan was born that at last I had found the perfect baby carrier for me?! Here it is again, and Belle Baby Carriers is giving away what I consider to be the ultimate carrier, valued at $100 in Orange Blossom {pictured above}. These carriers are so light weight {can be thrown right in your purse or diaper bag}, they come in many stylish designs, and they are ideal for forward facing or facing towards mommy {8-30lbs.}. It’s been 6 months and I still use my Belle Baby Carrier on a daily basis and even though Aidan is a chunky little man now, my back still does not hurt!

A. Jaron Fine Jewelry is generously giving away one gorgeous piece of the Rocks To Buy Baby collection. If you have never seen this jewelry line and all the other collections at A. Jaron, now is the time to go check it all out and buy something special for the women in your life. Amanda has been designing jewelry forever and her talent shows in every piece! I’m jealous of the winner of this giveaway!

Art work from your own photos would make a fantastic gift or a beautiful addition to your walls at home! A $125 valued 12×12 Custom Photo Collage on canvas to be given away by Cool Photo Ideas! Check out the many different designs of collages this site offers; everything made at Cool Photo Ideas is extremely high in quality and the photos online do not do the finished product justice at all! I love this giveaway, you the winner will love this giveaway! {please note that due to the high volume of orders at Cool Photo Ideas for the holidays, this prize will not available for redemption until after the New Year}

My Splat Mat from Just Buzzin’ By has become a fixture in our home, a meal can not be gobbled down with out it! I love that I can now share this remarkable invention with everyone as Just Buzzin’ By is offering up a Mess Eaters Trio gift set to one lucky winner! {A splat mat, a portable placemat, and a snap-pocket bib with many designs to choose from, a $90 value!} You will love these laminated easy to clean products; trust me, makes life as a mom so much easier!

This stroller can be adjusted in so many ways, it’s sure to fit every families needs; it’s lightweight but strong, and comes in the most brilliant colors! This alone makes our Holiday Giveaway AWESOME, but wait…so much more…

Art easels always seem to be popular on the kids Christmas lists but some can be quite a bit ugly, not this Cocoa colored Ecotots Art Time Easel from Spunky Sprout! This clean and sharp, modern design will look fabulous in any room of the house and the kids will love the sturdiness and the creativity they can express {moms, it’s eco-friendly!} At a $155 value, this giveaway will make one child extremely happy! {Check out everything else Spunky Sprout has to offer, so many modern items for your tots}

I still get so many comments from my Smart Mom Jewelry Teething Bling necklace, such a practical concept with a stylish flair {looks like the real thing but feels like, and can be used as, a teether for those fussy babies that are always in your arms!} 3 lucky winners to win a Teething Bling gift set of their choice!

BawlBaby is giving away THREE gift certificates {to 3 lucky winners} for a luxurious baby burp cloth, a $44 value each! It’s been 6 months since I started using my BawlBaby burp cloth and it’s used daily as Aidan STILL spits up and it STILL looks brand new and STILL feels so soft! Another luxurious gift to give this season!
