Niice Stuff Apparel Review & #Giveaway

**Product was received in exchange for an honest review**

Our Story

Niice Stuff began with a vision for helping others. Motivated by our own amazing experience when we adopted our son Stephen at the age of 17, who has brought so much love, joy, and fun to our lives, we created Niice Stuff as a way to share the joy.

Did you know that in this country only 10% of children who get adopted are over the age of 12? At Niice Stuff, our mission is to help more adolescent children like our son find their forever families. And by purchasing any item on this website, you too can be part of this very important mission. For every item you buy, a percentage of the profits will be donated to the Community Partnership for Children.

“Niice” is an acronym that stands for “Nurturing Individuals Inspiring Children Everyday.” This is the heart of Niice Stuff—making the world a better, nicer place each and every day by nurturing the lives of youth everywhere. Thanks for visiting, and we encourage you to check out our products!
Sit back, smile, and explore our website. Who knows—maybe by sharing your chance moments, the Niice brand will become the emblem of your life.

Wouldn't that be Niice?
- Rosine & Curt McCauley, Founders of Niice Stuff

What is “Niice?”

What is Niice? It is an emphasized version of the word “nice”—an adjective, a modifier of nouns and verbs denoting something pleasing, agreeable, or delightful, or the use of tact, care, or delicacy, or the demonstration of great accuracy, precision, or skill. Niice is all of these things.

Niice captures a wide variety of ideas, positive feelings, situations, and ends. All these descriptions are attractive to everyone’s experience of “Niice.” The literal definitions represent an intellectual response, but our true feelings are much more emotional, more whimsical, as the mood or situation unfolds.

Niice happens by chance.

A hip response to those awe-inspiring moments in life that put a smile on your face such as  the fresh smell of the ocean air....watching dolphins play in the pink glow of sunrise...feeling the warmth of the sand on your bare feet.....gathering seashells and sea glass along the beach...catching that perfect wave....Whoohoo! building an amazing sand castle with the kids.... the peaceful sound of the sea as she laps the shore....the water glistening under a full moon..... loving, laughing, and making memories to last a lifetime....

These are just a few examples of Niice moments. We experience them in every aspect of our lives! They may be generated accomplishments achieved in our careers, milestones achieved by our kids, random acts of kindness and compassion towards others, celebrating someone else's achievement, or the wonder of nature.

Niice moments are what memories are made of.
Through much of our lives we have traveled, not searching but exploring. Being sailors, we have learned to enjoy the trip as well as the destination. We now have many Niice memories we carry with us, with many more Niice journeys of discovery ahead.
We realize much of life is ephemeral, which is why we would like to share this logo and our products with the world to remind you of your Niice moments, too!

Our Thoughts
First, I love the idea behind the Niice brand. I know that for my step-brother, who was adopted just a few years ago, finding his forever home was huge.

Not only is this a great idea and a portion of the proceeds go to helping kids find a forever home, the clothing is quality too! The people at Niice were great to work with too!

They sent me one of their periwinkle zip-up hoodies for review. I absolutely love it!

I tend to wear long-sleeve shirts during the winter months here in Wisconsin but occasionally I get cold and need something extra over the long-sleeve and I absolutely hate having a hoodie over a long-sleeve just because it feels too bulky for me. This zip-up hoodie is fantastic for going over my shirts though. It doesn't feel one bit bulky and I love that I can leave it unzipped or unzip it if I get a little too warm with it zipped.

The hoodie washes up nicely too. There was absolutely no fading or pilling of the fabric! The hoodie did not shrink and unlike some of my sweatshirts, the cuffs did not curl once it was washed. I also found that these hoodies are pretty true to normal sizing too. I usually wear a large men's sweatshirt just because I like the extra room, the large zip-up hoodie fit just like I like! I was rather impressed with the whole sweatshirt and the company itself! I'd definitely recommend checking them out on Facebook, their website, and Twitter!
