TippyToesKnits Giveaway!

I am very excited about this giveaway as I've known about TippyToesKnits for a couple years and really wanted to share these adorable hats, mittens, and neck warmers with everyone! Like many of the Etsy sellers I've featured thus far, Stacey of TippyToesKnits also started off with making shower gifts and birthday gifts for friends and it slowly grew into a bigger venture!  Now, she's extremely busy with plenty of orders so I was very happy when she agreed to do a giveaway on my blog.

L'Amour Hat and Mitten Set

Stacey says that her son, Finley, is the inspiration for everything she knits.  He is also the adorable model in her Etsy photos showing off her gorgeous hand-knitted items.  Everything is made with a premium acrylic fibre which is soft, non-allergenic and gentle for babies and toddlers.  

TippyToesKnit's items are custom made so when you order from the Etsy site, you will be given several colour options.   In addition, Stacey is always up for special orders so feel free to ask her if you have something different in mind. Finally, there is also a TippyToesKnits blog where you can find sneak peeks of new designs and a little bit about daily life!

As far as designs go, I posted just a couple photos of the options available here.  You can check out the rest on her Etsy site which will be one of the contest entries.  It will likely be hard to choose a favourite by try your best!

Baby Chunky Cheeks Blanket Giveaway!

Welcome to my very first blog giveaway post!   A huge thanks to Jenna for helping me out with this.  Jenna and her Mom recently started an Etsy shop called Baby Chunky Cheeks and they've already got a lot of adorable baby items up for sale.  In addition to the receiving blankets featured in this contest, they also sell nursing necklaces, overalls, and diaper covers/bloomers.  Jenna has agreed to give away a cozy blanket to one lucky blog reader just in time for winter!  The winner of the contest will have the choice of one of the blankets posted on my blog.  Of course, if you love them and must have one, please support a small business and stock up on your Christmas gifts early.  I already reserved my Cookie Monster blanket for Connor...I can't wait to see his reaction to his new cozy, winter blanket. Om nom nom!

First, more about the blankets!

They are thick, double-sided, reversible blankets made of warm flannelet.  They are nice and roomy measuring at approximately 40" x 40" so they will grow with your child.  They are wonderful for swaddling newborns, perfect as carseat blankets on cool days, and great for keeping the sun out of babies' eyes on sunny days.  They even work great as a nursing cover. You might just end up cuddling up with one of these yourself!  

Now, let's get to the details of the big giveaway!  There are three ways to enter the contest.  I will be numbering entries and using a random online selector to pick the winner of the giveaway.

 You can receive up to three entries:
1. Comment on this post and tell us what your favourite receiving blanket is on the Etsy site.  Each blanket has a design name and you can click on the images for a larger view.
2. "Like" Baby Chunky Cheeks on Facebook and "like" or comment on Jenna's post about the Giveaway.
3. Follow my blog so you don't miss out on any future giveaways!  Please mention this in the comments since I don't know everyone's nicknames.

The contest will be open for one week and I expect anyone that has a baby or knows someone with a baby to enter especially my friends, family, acquaintances and people I don't even know.

The winner will be announced on Wednesday, November 10th.  We'll make arrangements to get the blanket to you at that time.  Good luck and have fun!
