My Thoughts

My daughter is a huge fan of Mermaids. I think it's her all time favorite character. From the classic Disney movie to the more modern Barbie movies, she's seen them all and has every toy under the sun. She has mermaid pajamas, dresses, accessories, and now, thanks to Snuggie Tails, she even has a blanket. 

For my daughter, a little mermaid swag was the perfect gift choice for the holidays. We picked out the blue mermaid tail, and it was just awesome. My daughter loved the fin design  because it makes her feel like a real mermaid. But she also loved how soft and cozy the blanket was. It's made from fleece so it's warm and soft. It's the perfect blanket to snuggle into during a cold winter night when you feel like watching a family movie. If you have a mermaid fan in your household, be sure to check it out.

Of course the mermaid blanket is only one examples of the beautiful designs at Snuggie Tails. They also have lots of awesome designs for both boys and girls of all ages. Here are a few more styles that we love.

If you're looking for a fun and unique gift, Snuggie Tails could make the perfect holoday gift. For more information or to order Snuggie Tails please visit www.snuggietails.com.

Holiday Gift Guide - Photo Blanket from Collage.com

As a mom of four, one of the things that makes me the happiest is getting a good picture of my children. I have spent thousands of dollars getting professional pictures done over the years, but often times I find my own home pictures are actually better and more natural. But printing those pictures is a hassle and I can't print jumbo copies that I can hang on my walls. That's where Collage.com comes in.  They take your home photos and turn them into high quality prints that are nicer than anything you'll get at a picture studio. Have your favorite family photo printed on canvas, aluminum, or even a blanket. The possibilities are limitless.

 For my review, I was sent a gift code for a photo blanket so that I could experience the full Collage.com service. They make it incredibly easy to create your masterpiece. All I had to do was upload my favorite photo. I barely had to make any adjustments at all. It was super easy and only took a few minutes. Once the picture was loaded, I was able to choose between a full color print, black and white, and  sepia. I went with color print, but you can preview how each option will look to help you decide. You can also crop the photo down to size or adjust it so it fits. In addition to the blankets, you can also create your own canvas, bamboo prints, calenders, ornaments, and so much more.

Once I was done with the ordering process, I proceeded to a secure check out where I was happy to see shipping was a reasonable price. I received the finished product about a week later.  I was very happy with the whole shopping experience and I am very excited about getting this beautiful blanket. It's soft and cuddly, and the colors are very vivid. We'll be sending this one off to my mother so she can snuggle with her grandchildren even when they aren't close by.

Of course, this is only one of the fun gift idea you can find at Collage.com. To see all they have to offer, be sure to visit their website or follow them on social media.

ZippySack, A Fun New Way for Kids to Make their Beds - #Giveaway

Do you ever feel like it’s a chore to get your kids to make their beds?  Well, Toy Island has created a solution that will not only get kids excited about making their beds, but also ease your family bedtime and morning routines. Introducing Zippy Sack, the fun new way for kids to make their beds with just a quick zip and a flip.

Zippy Sack is the fun new way to help kids make their bed with just a quick zip and a flip!  Made from soft and cuddly machine washable fleece, it slips over the child’s bed like a fitted sheet and stays in place. At bedtime, kids simply zip inside for a night of snug and cozy dreams without the worry of their covers sliding off. It even includes a pocket for their favorite things. In the morning, with just a zip and a flip, the bed is made and magically transformed into a cuddly friend. Making the bed will become kids’ favorite chore. Each Zippy Sack comes in a reusable bag with carry handle. Characters include: Kitty, Puppy, Dino and Panda. Ages: 4+ MSRP: $29.99 (twin size); $39.99 (full size). Available now at www.ZippySack.com and at retailers nationwide for fall 2015. 





My Thoughts 

I've had my eye on the ZippySack for a while now, so I was super excited to get one to review. My daughter has been asking for one, so we went with the pink kitten. The ZippySack is made from the softest fleece. It's incredible cozy and wonderful to snuggle up with on a cold night, but what my daughter loves the most is the adorable design. The kitty is just so cute, and the pink fleece with the cheetah pattern is very stylish and trendy. Its so much fun for her to get under the covers and wiggle and make it look like the cat is moving. 

What mom likes best about the ZippSack is how easy it is to make the bed now. My daughter is on the bottom of the bunk beds in her room, and making her bed has always been a hassle. ZippySack makes it so much easier. It fits over the mattress like a fitted sheet, and when its time to make the bed, you just zip it up the sides, and toss the cat's head over the pillow. In seconds, the bed is made, and it looks beautiful. There are no wrinkles or struggling to get the corners just right. My daughter is only five, but she can make the bed independantly with ZippySack.

I found the ZippySack to be very well made. There were no rips or tears and all the seams and stitches are very tight. The zipper works well and never snags. It also held up well after being cleaned and was still just as soft and fluffy after being washed and tumble dried.  Overall, a high quality bedding set for an affordable price. I'm very happy with it, and plan to get a few more for my other children.


The Giveaway

One lucky winner is going to receive a ZippySack of their own. Choose between the kitten, dog or dinosaur designs. To enter, simply fill out the  Giveaway Tools form below. Open to the US only. Giveaway will end 6/1/15. The winner will be notified via email and will have 48 hours to reply. Thanks again to ZippySack for offering this fantastic prize.

Bright Eyes Blanket by Snuggie

An excellent choice for boys and girls of all ages from the makers of Snuggie. The Bright Eyes Blanket is a product that children will absolutely adore. This extra comfortable sleeved and hooded blanket features soft, high-quality fleece fabric, fun animal faces, eyes that glow in the dark, and sleeves with paws. Children will love snuggling with their Bright Eyes Blanket. The blanket is designed with a cute little face that also functions as a hood. Furthermore, it has the ability to fold up as a pillow which means it is a great bedtime companion. Bright Eyes Blanket makes a great gift.

My Thoughts

The Bright Eyes Blankie from Snuggie is simply adorable. My son got to test out the Orange Puppy, and he's thrilled with it. It's way more than just a  blanket to him--it's a toy, a costume, and a cape. He plays with it for hours on end. He especially loves the fact that the eyes glow in the dark. It's like having a little night light built into the blanket.

The Snuggie blanket is made from the softest fleece. Its incredible cozy and wonderful to snuggle up with on a cold night. The top of the blanket works like a hood and can be draped over your child's head. You can also insert your hands into the paws. This makes it similar to one of those wearable blankets, but it's not as constricting and a lot more fun.

I found these blanket to be very well made. There were no rips or tears and all the seams are very sturdy. It also held up well after being washed and was still just as soft and fluffy after being washed and tumble dried.  Overall, a high quality toy that actually serves a purchase, all for an affordable price. I'm very happy with it.

Our Thoughts

Baby doesn't need a blanket. Mommy needs a blanket! This thing is huge (for me at least, barely skimming 5ft tall). It covers me up perfectly and it's great for my body temperature right now. Being about to pop (pregnant) I'm always hot but still have to sleep with a blanket. Not wanting anything too heavy, this is perfect. It is very lightweight, yet keeps the chill of the A/C (that is usually blowing right on me lol) from seeping through the fabric.

This throw is so soft and beautiful! I cannot wait to share it with my little one, this is by far my favorite baby blanket I have right now. I foresee the future stains it will attain from me using it so much, but it is worth it. The quality is excellent and the designs and products in2green offers has something for everyone!
