Treat a New Little One to Personalized Baby Gifts from Stuck On You-Giveaway

November 13, 2017 by Kathryn 51 Comments

When I was a child, I didn’t have much luck finding personalized items. I love the non-traditional spelling of my name, but it did mean that the racks of personalized pencils, mugs and magnets in malls never had an item that said “Kathryn.” Perhaps because of that, I am a sucker for personalized products.

And though my new baby Cormac has an uncommon name as well, I know that he’ll never have the same problem I did! The Internet has given me all kinds of ways of creating custom products personalized just as I want. And one of my very favourite personalizing companies, Stuck On You, recently let me create Cormac’s very first personalized baby gifts!

Parents and Babies Love Blankets, Toys and Gifts from Bunnies By The Bay-Giveaway

November 23, 2016 by Kathryn 61 Comments

When it comes to shopping for babies, something super soft and super sweet is always sure to be appreciated. And if you’re looking for gifts for a new little one for this holiday season, look no further than the adorable selection of clothing, toys, blankets and more at Bunnies By The Bay! This online boutique created by sisters Krystal and Suzanne carries products that are super soft and cuddly, visually appealing and sure to become beloved family heirlooms. Recently I had the chance to review a few of the products myself, the Peas & Love Quilt and the Bye Bye Buddy. I was even able to personalize the Bye Bye Buddy with the name of my new baby niece!

The Peas & Love collection is one of my personal favourites at Bunnies By The Bay, and this quilt is a great example of why. The colours are perfectly suited for both boys and girls, and the adorable bunnies and vegetables that adorn each piece add subtle brightness to a nursery. But as much as little ones will love looking at the designs on this blanket, they’ll love cuddling up with it even more! The soft velour and plush faux fur make it so warm and snuggly that parents may just wish they could borrow it too! [Read more…]

Back to School is a Snap with Labels from Stuck on You-Giveaway

August 20, 2014 by Kathryn 100 Comments

While I love back-to-school season, there is one aspect of it I have never enjoyed, and that’s writing my children’s names on all their school supplies. Our local school tends to be a bit excessive both in the amount of supplies my boys need and the amount of labelling those supplies require. In fact, I still have memories of the long, agonizing process of writing my name on my own school supplies when I was younger!

That’s why I’ve been a loyal customer of Stuck on You ever since Zackary was in Kindergarten. This personalized label and gift company is one I’ve written about frequently and considering the beauty and durability of its products, that’s not likely to change any time soon! This year Stuck on You was kind enough to send me a 5+ Label Value Pack just in time for back to school and once again, the company’s products turned the process of labelling school supplies from a pain into a pleasure!

Personalize Your Child’s Summer with Products from Stuck on You-Giveaway

June 23, 2014 by Kathryn 151 Comments

For years now, I have been in love with the personalized products available from Stuck on You. My first experience with the company was when I received a set of its gorgeous designer Name Labels for my oldest son to use on his Kindergarten supplies. But what I really love about Stuck on You is the fact that the company offers so many other handy personalized products perfect for any time of year.

And summer is no exception! Recently Stuck on You offered me the chance to check out a few of its products perfect for summer fun and I was only too happy to oblige. With both camping and swimming on our agenda for the warm summer months, I decided to get a pair of personalized summer PJs for Zackary and a personalized beach towel for Benjamin. One of the things that consistently impresses me about Stuck on You is how quickly the Australia-based company’s products arrive once I place my order. In less than two weeks, the items were at the door and my boys were rushing off with their new treasures.

Help Kids Keep Track of Their Gear with Bright Star Kids Name Labels-Giveaway

March 7, 2014 by Kathryn 74 Comments

Now that my youngest son is in pre-Kindergarten and preparing for Kindergarten in the fall, he has a lot more things for me to keep track of. So I have to put a little extra effort into making sure that all his supplies come home again. I’ve been using customizable labels for a few years now and so I was excited to test out the labels offered by Bright Star Kids. These labels come in a variety of different options for different needs and I ordered the Mega Name Labels Value Kit for Benjamin.

This kit contains everything a parent needs to label almost anything of a child’s. Containing 345 labels of different sizes and types, it’s a great value too. The labels are quick and easy to customize by choosing a colour, a font and an icon. I decided on blue labels with the simple Kiddie font and an alien in a UFO icon for my youngest son. Less than two weeks later, the labels arrived and I was ready to start personalizing some possessions!

With Zackary’s clothing, I’ve always avoided using iron-on labels since so many of his items get passed down to Benjamin. But my youngest son’s clothing generally gets worn out by the time he’s finished wearing it, so I was more willing to use iron-on labels for him. And after losing a scarf at pre-Kindergarten once this winter already, it was clear that his gear could use the identification too! [Read more…]

Add Personalized Style to Your Look with Rustic Metal Creations Jewellery-Giveaway

October 31, 2013 by Kathryn 87 Comments

While I love all kinds of different jewellery, hand-stamped, personalized silver necklaces, rings and bracelets are easily my favourite accessories. The pieces are completely original, reasonably priced and so meaningful to the recipient. Recently Rustic Metal Creations, a fabulous Canadian-based shop specializing in personalized hand-stamped jewellery, gave me the chance to review one of its items and I couldn’t resist the chance to add to my hand-stamped jewellery collection.

Since I do love this style of jewellery, I already have a few different pieces featuring the names and birthstones of my boys. I love the idea of sharing the love I have for my family with a pretty necklace or ring, but I really only need so many pieces of jewellery showing my boys’ names. I decided on this occasion to choose something that was just for me and when I saw the Family Tree Eternity Name Necklace, I knew I had found the piece I wanted.
