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…]

Plush Toys Get Original with Monster Factory Mini Monsters-Giveaway

December 17, 2013 by Kathryn 80 Comments

As much as I love a classic soft, plush teddy bear, I have a special place in my heart for misfit plush toys. There’s just something so endearing about a more original stuffed animal or monster and my fondness for the unique has resulted in my boys having quite a collection of odd stuffies.

That’s why I absolutely love Monster Factory plush toys. This Canadian-based company has been creating some of the strangest and most endearing plush friends I’ve ever come across and every time I see one, I can’t help but grin.

December 13, 2013 by Kathryn 101 Comments

One of the most important lessons we can teach our kids is that being different makes them special, and that concept is one that the fun-loving brand SO SO Happy embraces to the fullest. Recently, SO SO Happy made its Canadian debut with an adorable and original line of clothing and accessories available at Walmart Canada. I fell in love with the quirky characters and bright colours of the clothing at once and was so excited when I received a few of the items to check out for myself.

The SO SO Happy line includes t-shirts, hats, gloves, onesies, stationary and plush toys that are sure to make kids smile. And making kids smile is what the company is all about! It was created by Cindy Bailey as a way to spread positivity and self-empowerment to children after her own child was bullied. The company donates 10% of its proceeds to organizations that help kids in crisis; in Canada, the company is donating its proceeds to Breakfast Clubs of Canada. [Read more…]

If you have a Hello Kitty fan in your life, she will love the brand new Hello Kitty Dolls from Blip Toys! These dolls take fun to a new level with poseable bodies and different outfits to help inspire hours of creative play. I received the Princess Hello Kitty Doll to check out and I could tell at a glance that it would be sure to put a smile on any little girl’s face.

I really liked the large size of these dressable dolls. At 13.5 inches, they are the perfect size for a new best friend. And the dolls are available with four different outfits to suit different personalities: Best Friends, Dance, Pop and Princess. My personal favourite was the Best Friends doll with her classic striped shirt and overalls outfit and toy Hello Kitty doll. But the Princess Hello Kitty Doll I had received was a close second! The frilly, shiny tutu dress she was wearing was so adorable! [Read more…]
