Yoo Hoo Plush Toys Review & Giveaway

April 30, 2010 By 16 Comments

I was recently sent for review two of the cutest little plush animal toys I’ve ever seen. YooHoo and Friends by Aurora World Inc. are characters based upon real animals and endangered animals from around the world. I was sent a Japanese Macque and a Jaban Rhino. ($13.00 online) Each make a different sound when you push the tummy. The Japanese Macque giggles while the Rhino makes a “magical” sound like chimes. There is a HUGE assortment of characters including dogs, cats, sea life and farm animals as well as Holiday themed characters.

My children thought they were so cute and immediately began arguing about who could look at them first! The plush fur is REALLY soft and the big eyes are just adorable! I fell in love with them myself but once I set them down, they disappeared into the hands of my children. At 5 inches tall, they would have been perfect in Easter baskets this past Easter or as stocking stuffers for Christmas or even in a gift basket for birthdays!

The company sells its products via a wide variety of retailers including major zoos, high-end toy stores such as Learning Express, top gift chains such as Hallmark and Claire’s as well as hospital gift shops, fine florists, candy stores and gift/stationery stores worldwide.

On the YooHoo and Friends website, you can even create a virtual pet, name and raise it. You can play games and download wallpapers.  It is a cute site for kids ages 5 – 12.

ecomom Review and Giveaway + Discount

April 29, 2010 By 3 Comments

I have been testing a couple of sun care products for EcoMom, formerly SproutBaby, known for organic baby products. They now feature products for the family! I’ve been personally testing their SuperGoop Sunscreen Wipes SPF 30 with Zinc and Everyday Lotion SPF 30.

The SuperGoop Sunscreen Wipes are extremely handy. I just pop them in the diaper bag and when we are going to be out and about, I grab a couple of wipes and swipe them across our face, neck and arms and off we go. They are odorless, containing no fragrances, parabens or oxybenzone. And my skin didn’t feel weighed down by the Sunscreen in the wipes or the lotion. The lotion is a small sample but it was equally lightweight and not greasy feeling.

EcoMom has a new program called EcoPass in which you can purchase a $99 annual membership providing you a 15% discount on every purchase you make at EcoMom as well as FREE shipping and NO $75 minimum order requirement!

As a Cinnamon Hollow reader, you can also take advantage of a 15% discount off your first order by entering the code SBBL219 during checkout. This one time offer is good until May 31, 2010

Follow @EcoMomCEO on Twitter and Facebook.

BUY IT!
SuperGoop Sunscreen Wipes – $34.00 – 48 Super Soft Biodegradable SPF 30+ Towelettes with Flip-Top

WIN IT!
One lucky reader will win a Full sized package of the Sunscreen Wipes!

Wonder Hanger Review and Giveaway

April 29, 2010 By 3 Comments

My house has quite a bit of great closet space but we also have a lot of stuff. And by a lot of stuff I really mean a ton of junk! But it’s my junk and I’m just not ready to part with it. Unfortunately, that leaves little to no space for our clothes. That’s why I was so excited to try the Wonder Hanger.

I’m the dum dum who started taking pictures after we had already been cleaning for awhile so you don’t really get the full effect of the space saved from these photos. But you can see a little.

My oldest daughter has a ton of clothes and toys in her closet. The thing about the Wonder Hanger is that while it saves space horizontally, the clothes then hang down so there isn’t as much space vertically. However, there is enough space saved across that I was able to just stack her toys off to one side.

The Wonder Hanger was very easy to assemble. The hooks just snap into the ends. Hang both ends on your closet bar, add your items that are hanging on clothes hangers, then lower one side. Raise it up slightly to choose your garment when you’re ready. There are 8 hangers in a box.

The Wonder Hanger® is an affordable tool that’s great for any Spring Cleaning features. This cascading clothes organizer increases closet space by enabling you to stack clothes vertically.  Each Wonder Hanger holds 5 wood, metal or plastic hangers.  There are 8 hangers to a package – enough to hang 40 garments. The open-mouth design allows you to easily add or remove your jackets, skirts, pants and shirts. Supporting up to 20 pounds, it can hold up to 5 heavy winter jackets.

You can use it to group complete outfits or similar items, organize by color or season, and hang handbags or belts.

BUY IT!
Buy Wonder Hanger Online
Price: $9.99 plus P&H (Buy one, get one free; – just pay extra P&H)
It can also be purchased at major retail chains including Wal-mart, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond and CVS as well as Amazon.com  – Wonder Hangers As Seen On TV

WIN IT!
