Summer Birthday Bash! ChuChi: The Plushie And Portable Night-Light from Banana Design Review & Giveaway



If you are looking for some unique gift ideas for birthdays or other special occasions, a great place to start is Banana Design. Teens, tweens, and even the occasional grown up will love the unique products at Banana Design. Their adorable gadgets provide security, comfort, and fun at affordable prices. I was lucky enough to receive a few of their cool products to try out, and my whole family loves them.



Banana Design offers a very unique product called the ChuChi.  This adorable plush nightlight comes to life in a variety of colors including red and yellow. It actually cycles through all the colors for as long as its turned on. What makes it really cool is that, unlike most LED night lights, its made from plush and it does not require any charging. There are no small parts that can detach. So its safe even for babies and toddlers.  Kids can play with it, snuggle with it under the covers, and take it with them wherever they go. Its a fun way to provide that little extra bit of security for little ones. If you are interested in getting one for yourself, you can find them on Amazon for the low price of $31.99.

The ChuChi is only one example of the cool products available at Banana Design. Stay tuned next week when I tell you a little about the My Little Beating Heart. This is a great product for people of all ages.  In addition to providing a variety of unique products, Banana Designs also gives back to the community. Be sure to check out their blog and see some nice pics of their visit to the Kentucky Children's Hospital. They passed out toys and made made a lot of special kids feel just a little bit better.
