FLASH GIVEAWAYS
The Ultimate Online Baby Shower kicks off with fun Flash giveaways held by each of the participating bloggers. Be sure to follow my Facebook page, as I’ll be directing you to each flash giveaway page when they go live.
SAMPLER EVENTS
Several amazing baby companies will be hosting Sampler events on their Facebook pages throughout The Ultimate Online Baby Shower. Sampler events are fun, a rush, and go quickly (be ready); you want to click on the participating brand sampling link as they go live for the chance to receive free products from participating companies (they go FAST). I’ll be giving you prior reminders on my Facebook page so that you can be ready.
If you’ve not had the opportunity to try Sampler, it’s easy. You’ll have the opportunity to “Wish For” items that interest you, after you RSVP and unlock the calendar. You’ll navigate to brand pages, click the Wish For It link (in the Giveaway tab) and share it to your Facebook timeline; your friends will then know that you would like them to send the item/Sampler to you when it is unlocked. The best way to ensure you get the Samplers you want is to ‘buddy up’ with a friend and send them to each other when the event goes live.
THE BRANDS
Bella Bundles’ line of accessories features designs and functionality fit for every modern mom! From bibs to blankets, comfort and practicality are of the utmost importance. The designs are hip, the sewmanship top-notch, and the fabrics incredibly plush. If you’re looking to outfit your nursery and baby’s layette with clean design, Bella Bundles has exactly what you’re looking for.
Kicking off the Ultimate Online Baby Shower this year is Safety 1st – you won’t want to miss their flash giveaway! We use Safety 1st child-lock products around our house, and they also make car seats, strollers, in addition to a myriad of other baby gear. I know their giveaway will be an event you won’t want to miss!
HABA is synonymous with quality in the toy world; made from sustainable materials, non-toxic paints, their toys get two thumbs up from me! I’m loving HABA’s Baby’s First Photo Album — brightly colored designs, soft fabric, and eight 4×6 slots for lots of family photos.
I remember being overly cautious with my first pregnancy, changing to natural shampoo and conditioner and tossing many of the household products and toiletries I’d used for years. I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t using products that contained chemicals that were not only unsafe for me, but also for my unborn child. Basq skincare takes out the guesswork with their line of skincare products devoid of any questionable ingredients!
Having worn my own baby, Baby K’tan is a name I know well, but did you know that they make diaper bags as well? Baby K’tan’s SmartGear Diaper Bag features a built-in wet bag (no more forgetting!) with antibacterial lining. While cloth diapering moms will love the built-in wet bag feature, it’s great for any blowout or accident (think potty training).
I’ve admired ubbi’s vibrantly-colored range of sleek, powder-coated steel diaper pails, in fact, ubbi’s diaper pail is what put them on my radar. Ubbi makes a full range of products to take you from diapering to potty training, from their diaper pail to training toilets and step stools. Ubbi even has snacks covered, with their Tweat snack containers in fun colors!
Pearhead helps parents celebrate all of the special moments in their little one’s lives, with modern designs and fresh prints. Add a bit of personalization to your journey from pregnancy throughout your baby’s milestones — Pearhead has keepsakes for every personality and taste.
I worried about what chemicals I came into contact with during pregnancy, which then transferred to my son once he was born. It seems almost everything (including the food we eat) contains harmful chemicals these days, but Wee Can Too art supplies takes out the worry. Made from vegetable dyes, Wee Can Too art supplies are non-toxic and colorful — they look good enough to eat (and you don’t have to worry if your little one does take a bite out of that modeling dough!)!
“Ingredient safety, effective solutions with clinically proven ingredients, and luxurious formulations with aromatherapy to provide a spa-like experience,” the cornerstones to Belli’s pregnancy skincare line. No more reading label after label at the department store or drugstore — Belli skincare takes the guesswork out for you. Belli products are allergy tested, free of paraben preservatives, phthalates, and artificial dyes or fragrances, and made in the USA. Belli products are also teratology and Lactmed screened, ensuring that no harmful ingredients are passed to your unborn baby and infant through use and breastfeeding.
We’ve come a long way from having only one laundry option for sensitive baby skin, and The Laundress elevates laundry care with their full range of products. From bleach alternative, to stain solutions and scented drawer sheets, The Laundress provides a full line of allergen-free laundering and care solutions. My cloth diapering friends will be happy to know that The Laundress also offers a Wool & Cashmere wash and freshening spray!
Possibly one of my favorite products in the UOBS is the Me4Kidz cut and scrape kid. I have a three-year-old boy, which means accidents happen all of the time! My son is at the age where there is a bandage preference (boring beige just won’t do), and we don’t “do” licensed characters in my household, which is why the little dudes kit is perfect for us. From antibacterial wipes to cool packs (Cool It Buddy), Me4kidz offers a full range of fun, yet necessary, products for the family. However, the product line isn’t the coolest thing about this brand — products are made from recycled plastic in the USA (to recycle and reuse resources AND keep jobs here) and charitable giving is at the forefront of the Me4kidz business mission (most of their products are assembled by people with disabilities).
As a breastfeeding mom, I was reluctant to introduce my son to the bottle — too early or too late — for fear it would disrupt nursing, and administering medication? Forget about it. However, Adiri’s MD+ Nurser is modeled to function and feel like a breast, making it easier for breastfed babies to receive medication and supplements as an infant. The Adiri MD+ Nurser design mimics a breast, features a dual-chamber nipple to ensure proper delivery, and an air valve to help prevent gas and spit-ups.
Organic skincare has never been so…tasty! Sweetsation’s Choco*Smooch Organic Lip & Face Balm is perfect for lips, but I love the fact that it’s great for chapped baby cheeks! I remember the chapped cheeks that came along with teething, and then the battle in the winter to keep my little guy’s sensitive skin from drying and peeling. Made with Argan, Calendula & Sea Buckthorn, the Choco*Smooch stick’s ingredients are safe and little one’s will love the light, cocoa scent!
I’ve been using Dapple Baby’s cleaning products for a couple of years now. Their cleaning wipes are perfect for giving my son’s train table periodic wipe-downs, and their bottle wash is great for the insane sippy cup collection we have going on here. The best part about Dapple’s cleaning products is that they are dye-free, and made with non-toxic plant-based ingredients — safe for the entire home!
Their signature RaZ-Berry teether is most likely how you first encountered the RaZBaby brand, I know it was for me! RaZBaby also makes an entire line of personalized Keep-it-Kleen pacifiers and pacifier holders. BPA-free and made with silicone, RaZBaby products are safe (with plastics made in the USA!), and the revolutionary design keeps the nipple clean when not in use or dropped!
Our first encounter with the Baby Comfy Care brand was with their Baby Comfy Nose (we still use it and love it!). Baby Comfy Care has expanded their baby care line to include the Baby Comfy Nail, Baby Comfy Sun, and Baby Comfy Gummy teething jewelry. Baby Comfy Care is a family-run company dedicated to producing practical baby care products that families will love to use!
