Sewphisticated Gifts Review and Giveaway

Who doesn't love monograms and appliques? I know I sure do! You already know I love Etsy. Last year, I needed an Alabama baby shower gift for my friend who is from Alabama and was decorating her son's nursery in Alabama houndstooth and elephants. Sewphisticated Gifts had just what I was looking for and at a fabulous price. When the monogrammed/appliqued bib and burp cloth arrived in the mail, I was very impressed. I couldn't wait to give the gift to my friend. By the way, she loved it! I'm posting a picture of the bib, burp cloth, and matching onesie by Sewphisticated Gifts so you can see just how precious the Alabama set is for yourself.

Maybe you are looking for another college team or theme, Sewphisticated Gifts has it and if Elana (the owner) doesn't, I know she will work to find it for you. Her stuff is just so cute! There is really nothing else to say so I'll let the pictures do the talking. Be sure to visit her Etsy shop whenever you're looking for your next baby shower gift, birthday outfit for your child, or Walt Disney vacation t-shirt. Tell her I sent you!

If you would like a chance (or 2) at winning an appliqued onesie or t-shirt of your choice, be sure to fill out the Rafflecopter form below. Good Luck and thank you, Sewphisticated Gifts, for sponsoring this giveaway. To shop Sewphisticated Gifts' Etsy shop, click here

Tara's Cozy Creations' Review and Giveaway

It's time for another fantastic Etsy shop review. This review is perfect for moms of boys and girls. Every child has to sit in a carseat and those pesky carseat straps sure are annoying to the necks of babies and toddlers. If you're like me, you've shopped for cute strap covers at Toys R' Us or other stores but couldn't find the perfect color to match your child's carseat. When that happened to me, I turned to Etsy. That's where I found Tara's Cozy Creations. Tara makes fabulous reversible minky carseat strap covers, changepad covers, cribsheets, pillowcases, bibs, burpcloths, washcloths, security blankets, carseat canopy blankets, boppy covers, minky blankets, and more.

She offers so many styles and colors that you are sure to find just what you need. I love minky and when I saw that Tara makes a set of brown strap covers, I knew I had found the ones. Presley's infant carseat was a Safety1st with brown and pink floral designs. The brown strap covers I ordered were a perfect fit. They came with well-sewn velcro and upheld through every washing. Believe me when I say that they are washed often! Presley gets carsick quite often so to have a product that is durable through every washing is well worth the price. Guess what? The price ($8.00 plus shipping) is fabulous! So, why not buy several pair? You can buy some for your child/children and for shower gifts. The new mom will thank you for such a thoughtful gift! By the way, she always ships within 1-2 days of ordering. How's that for wonderful customer service?

Here's Presley (taken last fall) in her carseat with her Tara's Cozy Creations strap covers. Yes, she thinks she is one cool cat!

Thank you, Tara, for agreeing to this review and giveaway. Tara is so sweet! She's giving away 2 sets of carseat strap covers (You pick your color/material). That means we'll have 2 winners. So enter away and send your friends over! Be sure to let Tara know you appreciate her as well.

Fancy Dancy Boutique Review and Giveaway

Another great Etsy shop up for review is Fancy Dancy Boutique. I love to get Presley monogrammed stuff and decided a few weeks ago that it was time for some monogrammed
bloomers to go with her dresses. So, off to Etsy I went, looking for the perfect pair at the perfect price. DJ at Fancy Dancy Boutique had just what I was searching for. Her shipping
time is super fast, too. She has 3 machines constantly working so if you need something in a hurry, Fancy Dancy Boutique is there for you. I ordered Presley a pair with her initials
and then I ordered my friend, Amanda, a pair for her baby shower. Next, I'm ordering two pair for friends having little girls this fall. These precious bloomers make the perfect baby
shower gift and they are keepsakes. DJ also offers a discount once you've ordered your 4th pair.
As soon as you enter her Etsy shop, you'll find that she makes more than monogrammed/appliqued bloomers. She also does boxers, pillowcase dresses, dresses, burp cloths,
badge holders, jewelry, and more. I encourage you to browse her shop. She has all sorts of designs and appliques. You're sure to find just what you need. If not, contact DJ
because I know that she will work with you to make it happen.

Fancy Dancy Boutique has so graciously offered to give one of our lucky blog readers a pair of 1-initial monogrammed bloomers. Enter below for your chance to win. Good Luck!

My2lilpixies Review and Giveaway

I'm so excited to review another one of my favorite Etsy shops, My2lilpixies. My2lilpixies offers nylon headbands, flower headbands, felt clips, hats, hair bows, baby shoes/crib shoes, ruffle bum bloomers, and a fabulous SALE section.

I ordered the shocking pink boutique size bow on the interchangeable light pink stretch headband for Presley. She wore it all the time. I'm including 3 pictures of her wearing it. When she outgrew it, I handed it down to her baby cousin. Who doesn't love hand-me-downs, especially precious bows and headbands? What's even more wonderful is the quality of the bow and headband. I bet Presley's baby cousin, who is now 1, could even hand it down to someone else. My2lilpixies' creations are made that well!

My2lilpixies is your place to find the perfect headband for your daughter, niece, grandaughter, cousin, etc. You'll get wonderful customer service and you'll definitely become a repeat customer. Plus, all of her items make precious photography props. The prices are wonderful and with sales and coupon offerings, you won't break the bank buying beautiful bows for your little sweetheart. Thank you My2lilpixies for allowing me to review you.  You can find My2lilpixies on Etsy and on Facebook. Be sure to tell her A Girl In A Guy's World sent you!

Pink Zebra with Tracy Review & Giveaway

Who has heard of Pink Zebra yet? I stumbled upon Pink Zebra recently and decided I should try it. I'm so glad I did! If you're a user of warmers and wax for your home then Pink Zebra is for you. I ordered the Fleur de lys Red/Rust Ceramic Simmer Pot ($20) with the Warm Apple Pie Sprinkles ($8). They arrived in precious pink zebra print boxes that you can definitely use again. I have a house full of Scentsy warmers so I'm used to melting wax to make my home smell wonderful but I have to brag on Pink Zebra products. The Warm Apple Pie Sprinkles do not smell like apple pie to me, more like berries. I still love them, though! That aside, I have to brag. I've never plugged in my other warmers and within a few minutes there be an instant aroma. My simmer pot is in my laundry room and yet it can quickly smell up my home and not just for minutes but for days. I loved the smell of my Warm Apple Pie Sprinkles so much that I put some in my daughter's Scentsy warmer in her bedroom. Dirty diapers no longer wreak havic on her bedroom anymore. I'm trying to decide what sprinkles to order next. Since I'm more of a cinnamon/fall scent lover, I think I'll try the Farm House Cider, Cinnamon Spice, and Red Delicious Apple next. There are so many scents and colors to choose from. Can you imagine buying several jars of sprinkles and layering the scents in a glass container to create a rainbow effect? I can hear the "Oohs and Ahhs" now!

Pink Zebra is a new direct sales company. Our consultant sponsor is Tracy Dillinger. Tracy does home parties and catalog/web parties. You can also order online from Tracy's online store. Tracy also participates in fundraising where she donates a portion of her profits to your organization. That's how I came across Tracy a few months ago. She was doing a fundraiser for Battle4aCure, one of my favorite organizations. Be sure to check them out at http://battle4acure.org and on facebook.

Pink Zebra offers Sprinkles, Simmer Pots in small and large sizes, Simmer Lights, Candles and Accessories, Re-Sealable Reed Diffusers, and Soaps and Lotions. Try them today! You'll be glad you did! If Pink Zebra sounds like a wonderful fit for you, contact Tracy. She'd love to have you on her team!

To win, a jar of Sprinkles (You pick the scent!) and a Simmering Lights Warmer with a Paisley Shade (pictured above) from Tracy, simply fill out the rafflecopter form below. Thanks again, Tracy, for this wonderful giveaway (a $48 retail value).
