Lovable Labels Review and Giveaway

Lovable Labels provided me with a Friendship pack free of cost for this review.  All opinions expressed are my own and not influenced by monetary compensation.

About Lovable Labels:

Lovable Labels was started by a mom who simply realized the need for labeling children's belongings  in settings where the items could easily be lost.  As a mom, I completely understand this theory!  It's so easy to misplace things, or for things to just disappear when you have a little one.  I love the idea for Lovable Labels and know they are greatly needed.

Lovable Labels makes personalized labels and tags for nearly any item you can think of.  Regular Sticker Labels are great for school supplies and lunch boxes, Slimeline Sticker Labels are great for smaller toiletry items, Shoe labels have a "perma-grip" backing to help stay in place and are made to fit in the heel of a shoe.   They even have "Press n' Stick Clothing DOTS" where you simply peel and stick to the care tag of any garment (or you can even choose Iron-ons).  Lovable Labels can also make Allergy Alert Labels which provide a clear warning for your child's lunchboxes, drink bottles, or other items.  If they didn't cover enough bases there, they have bag tags, Mini-Metal tags, Vital ID Wristbands, Combo and Camp packs to save you $$$.  Waterproof and weatherproof - these Labels are sure to stick in place!

My Product Review:

Friendship Pack Includes (information via the Lovable Labels website):
Jam-Packed with 120 labels this is a value you can’t pass up! 30 Sticker Labels, 80 Slimline Labels and
10 mini Fun Stickies *added bonus* You can share with a friend! Purchase any Friendship Pack
and receive a FREE Friendship Sampler (40 Slimline Labels) for a friend!

I liked that Lovable Labels had many customization options.  There are 45 icons to choose from to place onto your label.  I chose the cat (#36) for mine, because we have two cats and my daughter loves them.  From there, you can pick a color (or if you are buying a specific pack like the one I received - you can pick from Bedazzled (pink, purple, and green) and Majestic (black, yellow, green, red and blue) along with a friendship sample of either type for a friend of your child's.

I love the colors of this pack - Ours was the Bedazzled, so we received pink, purple, and green labels.  They stick to plastic surfaces well (we tried ours on a sippy cup).  The bold bright colors are easy to see, and the names are easy to read.  The icons are a super cute touch.

(image edited for last name)

The kitty is to the right of the name and the name is bold and bright :) I loved that the green color even matched our sippy cup.  

I chose the friendship sampler for a friend who is having her baby this month - I chose footballs for his icon and I know they will come in handy, since every mom knows those first few months can be hectic and we often forget quite a few things in the most random of places.  

I love the idea of being able to share the labels with friends!  I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing their product, and I know you will love it too.

Lovable Labels has a great product, mom approved!

StrungOut3 Etsy Store Review & $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway!!

Let me start by saying I am a BIG fan of reviewing Etsy stores and Etsy items.  Nothing is better than promoting home made items, to me.  

StrungOut3 has some amazing pieces.  She has a great mix of Steam Punk, and beautiful beaded jewelry everyone can enjoy along with several other pieces such as cufflinks (if you are still looking for a great gift for HIM...keep these in mind!) and purses.  I love the amount of detail she puts into her pieces.  

A sample of Steam Punk jewelry from the StrungOut3 store:

PetCakes Series 2 Review/Giveaway!!

I absolutely love Petcakes.  They are adorable plush limited collectibles and combine my two favorite things, cute animals and delicious treats!  They each have an adorable cupcake hat, so once pressed into their coordinating"wrapper" the plush animals resemble a cupcake.  I could eat them up!  They can be purchased through PetCakes' website.

I received Series 2 - Forest Animals for this review and I have to say my daughter and I both love them.  They are cute, just the right size, and provide my little one with lots of smiles.  They would be worth every penny! 

My absolute favorite PetCake is Roco Coco™.

I love his purple hat, and his big blue eyes.  

There is a little something for everyone at Petcakes.  Series 2 is comprised of Bamboo Berry™ the plush Panda, Nutty Nicky™ the silly plush Squirrel, Roco Coco™ the plush Raccoon, and the ever adorable Honey Cakes™ plush Bear.  These little cuties would make great stocking stuffers, birthday gifts, or a great "just because" gift for any little one or even someone young at heart.  They are unique and fun, and I highly recommend them.  You can even find PetCakes on Facebook!  The Petcakes shop also offers their Series 1 limited collectibles, rag dolls, ballerinas, and even Halloween dolls.

"The Cherry On Top":

Along with their great selection, PetCakes is also offering a special offer :  Buy (4) or more Petcakes® Collectibles plush toys and receive the PetCakes® Collectibles Minis - 4 pack FREE you only pay an additional $1.99 shipping and handling.
