LylaBug Creations {GIVEAWAY} - CLOSED

Christmas Twirl Skirt - $22

I am thoroughly enjoying Fall.  We visited our first pumpkin farm yesterday and the lucky little pumpkin that came home with us quickly found a spot next to the mum on our front steps.  I'm busy looking through our Halloween box for decorations and costumes.  But I am also jotting down Christmas ideas ...

I haven't purchased a real Christmas gift yet (stocking stuffers for the kids don't count) but I am thinking about gift ideas for certain people.  Special holiday events and Christmas cards have been on my mind.  While thinking of Christmas cards I start to wonder what my daughters will wear in the card pictures.  And what they will wear to the various holiday events.  I like my children to be comfy but dressed for the occasion.  That is when I found LylaBug Creations Etsy shop.

Christmas Outfit (Double Layer Skirt with Matching Tree Shirt) - $49

I think this would be a perfect Christmas outfit! Your little girl will stay comfy while still being stylish.  LylaBug also offers lots of lovely skirts for any day of the year in sizes 6m to 11yrs.

Modern Patchwork Twirl Skirt - $25

LylaBug Creations makes fun, boutique style twirl skirts (and matching tops) at budget-friendly prices.  All of the LylaBug Creations skirts are priced at $25 or less.  That is a bargain when you see the beautiful fabrics and colors used to make the skirts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This GIVEAWAY is now closed.

LylaBug Creations has generously offered to giveaway a twirl skirt to one lucky Penguin's Gift reader!  And to make this even more exciting the skirt will be a 'mystery'.  Meaning the winner can pick either holiday or everyday fabric, and of course winner's choice of children size, and LylaBug Creations will create a twirl skirt just for you!  The style will be similar to this one:

Sweet Mady GIVEAWAY {Lunch Punch}--closed

Do you have Back To School fever?  I do!  There is something about the big school displays at stores like Target that get me all excited about a new school year.  This is the first year I'll have a child eating in the cafeteria at school.  I've run down my school lunch checklist and we have just about everything for the first lunches at school - Yay!  But I was looking for a way to make my daughter's lunch FUN and remind her that mom is thinking of her.  That is when I came across Lunch Punches at Sweet Mady.

 

SandWISHES and Fun To Drive

Lunch Punches are a food cutters specifically designed to capture the most amount of bread when it cuts the crust off your sandwich.  But don't limit yourself to just sandwiches - Lunch Punches can be used on tortillas, toast, cheese, cakes, and cookies.  They are BPA, phthalates, lead and PVC free!  And the added bonus:  Lunch Punches are dishwasher safe (love that!).

Match & Munch and Critter Cutters

I ordered the SandWISHES from Sweet Mady and used them for the first time earlier this week.  My daughters loved their turkey sandwiches in a crown shape with a little heart cut from the center.  They both thought is was super cute to eat their little heart sandwich first.  I'll save the three other designs for when schools starts but I just know we are going to enjoy lots of yummy meals thanks to Lunch Punches.

Lunch Punches would make a great gift idea for your own son, daughter, niece, nephew, grandchild, etc.  There is nothing like adding a little fun (and some smiles) into our meals!  Priced at just $14 for a set of four themed cutters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Michelle from Sweet Mady has generously offered to give one Penguin's Gift reader two sets of Lunch Punches. Yes, TWO!  The SandWISHES and Fun To Drive Lunch Punches.  Yay!!

Stella & Dot GIVEAWAY {little girl bracelet}

 

Last weekend a box arrived at my doorstep and I opened it immediately.  It was my order from Stella & Dot.  Remember me telling you about their little girl jewelry?  I ordered four bracelets, two for upcoming birthday parties and two extras.  When I saw the bracelets from Stella & Dot I was in awe!  They are beautiful, and each bracelet is packed in a round tin for easy storage (a must for little girls who are learning about organization and keeping their nice things nice) and just perfect for gift giving. 

The two extra bracelets were quickly requested by my two daughters.  They offered to do some things around the house to 'earn' the fancy new jewelry.  They *love* their new bracelets.  I love that they can have nice looking jewelry to wear outside the house.  The bracelets (and all of the little girl jewelry) is priced to be fun yet affordable so I'm not stressed about them breaking *expensive* bracelets when they put them on and off twenty times a day.

Stella & Dot recently launched their fall line {swoon} and included two new little girl bracelets with fun back-to-school feeling fabric plaids.  Either would make a great gift for a little girl about to enter school soon.  Of course they would make a great birthday gift, each Stella & Dot girls bracelet is priced at just $14!  A steal, I tell you!

 

Jo-Ann Coe, Stella & Dot Stylist and my favorite fashionista, has generously offered to give one little girl bracelet to a Penguin's Gift reader.  Yay!!

The winner can pick the little girl bracelet of their choice, remember there are eight little girl bracelets offered by Stella & Dot including the two Lola fabric plaids pictured above.

You have 4 chances to WIN! Make sure to leave a SEPARATE comment for each entry, and leave your email address if it is not easily visible on your profile or blog.

~COMMENT~ Visit Stella & Dot and browse the beautiful jewels.  Come back and leave a comment on this post with your favorite piece of adult jewelry (we can swoon over great jewelry too!).

~SPREAD THE WORD~ Post about this giveaway on your Blog, Twitter or Facebook page.  Come back here and leave a comment that you did and be sure to include the links to each (up to 3 entries for posting on each, and don't forget to leave a separate comment for each entry!).

This giveaway will close on Wednesday, August 4th. Please leave all of your comments by 10:00 p.m. on that day. This giveaway is for USA residents only (sorry to my Canadian readers!).

Good luck!!

Really Cute Stuff GIVEAWAY -- closed!

I was so happy to stumble upon Really Cute Stuff a few weeks ago.  Once I read their line 'Put the Fun Back into Hand Written Notes with Our Line of Custom Note Cards' I was hooked!  I've shared my love for note cards here before, especially personalized note cards, and I love an affordable gift idea.  These note cards can easily be customized with font and color of your choice.  For me, note cards are a no-fail gift idea.  From babies (so cute to see a new baby's name on stationary!) to small children to young adults to grownups, personalized note cards are perfect!

Really Cute Stuff has four different designs of note cards all sold in sets of 15, priced from $10-$15.

Signature $10 Note Cards

You can have lots of fun with the font and color choices on these cards!

The Color Collection
What a great selection of vivid complimenting colors to choose from.

Family Style Note Cards

Think outside the box with these. 

I love the suggestion of Teacher Cards with the name of the school in the background.  Also great for Summer Camp teachers as well as Swim Lesson teachers (name of pool in background).

Monogram Note Cards

(not yet pictured but available!)

A classic.  You can't go wrong with monograms!
