BABY SHOWER ITEMS

Remember how I recently posted that more babies are born in the month of August than any other month? It's still true. So that means lady readers might be invited to some baby showers in the coming months. What do you buy as a present? Here are some ideas:

#1 Baby Gift Set - Plush Chihuahua

So you were invited to a party and you don't have time to shop and wrap a gift (or you just need a totally cute, hassle-free present full of baby shower items). Well, this is your solution. This baby set includes a plush and snuggle webkinz dog, yellow terrycloth baby bib (with "Mommy's little Angel" embroidered on it), and a yellow and white 30"x30" plush baby blanket and it comes with a green gift bag (with a picture of an expecting mother wearing a pink dress on the bag and matching attached card) and yellow tissue paper. #babyshoweritems

#2 Mamaway Baby Sling

The Mamaway ring sling is an all-around baby carrier that is perfect for your newborn babe. It is made of 100% cotton fabric that provides full support once tightened. You can position your baby whichever way is most comfortable or convenient: upright or lying down, in front, on your hip or behind your back so you can have hands-free cuddles or be able to do things while keeping your baby close. This can also be used to cover baby for feeding so mama and baby can bond with some privacy. It weighs 14.4 oz and is machine washable so it is super easy to care for this product. It is also easy to store in it's own little attached pocket. You will be so happy with this purchase.

#3 Berlando Baby Blanket

This blanket is perfect for baby boy. It comes in a blue, grey, and white chevron print on one side and plain white on the other. It is 32x26 inches and is made of 100% microfiber polyester. Every baby needs a good pinky blanket to use in the stroller, to swaddle, cuddle, use when travel, or just carry everywhere. This is super high quality, soft, and snuggly. (I secretly want one in my size). It is also machine washable!! #berlando

#4 Baby Car Seat Cover & Bandana Drool Bib Gift Set

This car seat cover is super stylish. It is stretchy and fits most carseat and even be used as a nursing, shopping cart,and high chair covers. You can protect baby from the weather or just have a little privacy. It comes with a drawstring carrying bag and a bonus set of bandana style drool bibs. The bibs are made of 100% soft cotton and are adjustable (with snaps) to fit a neck circumstance from 35 cm to 40 cm. It comes in super cute packaging that is ready to be given as a gift. 

#5 Pack N Play Placard Sheets

This crib sheet set from Ziggy Baby is made from 100% jersey knit and so soft and cuddly. Since they are jersey knit, they are lightweight and breathable as well. The sheets fit a standard play-yard mat or mattress up to 4 inches. They have deep 5" pockets for a secure fit (the official measurements are 24 x 38 x 5 inches). You get two sheets with your purchase so you have a back up when one is dirty. If one does get dirty (baby accidents do happen), they are machine washable so clean up is simple. They are gender neutral in grey and white and come in cute polka dot and chevron designs. In my opinion, they are simple yet stylish. The Ziggy Baby company offers a fabulous satisfaction guarantee if you aren't satisfied with your purchase (but I am sure you will be) and I love a company that gives great customer support. #ziggybaby

#6 The BEST Baby Sling Carrier

This baby sling carrier can be worn on both the front and back (as baby gets bigger - up to 35 lbs). It has a cute floral embroidered pattern on the front that is stylish and unisex pattern. It has padded straps similar to a backpack that makes it comfortable to wear. It is made of cotton so it is machine washable and cozy for baby to sit in it. It is extremely stable when baby is inside when it is tied around. Baby-wearing is super important for bonding with baby and parent.

#7 Revelae Kids Cozy Blanket Pouches

If you have a wiggly sleeper, then this pouch from #RevelaeKids is for you! This is like a cuddly (100% soft polyester) baby blanket made into a pouch. It has a elastic to stay on baby with plenty of room for baby to still move their legs. The purpose of this pouch is to make sure baby stays warm and comfortable during their naps. It is super cozy and fabulous. I wish I could order one in my size! It comes in a few sizes and colors. 

#8 Baby Car Mirror & Safety Bundle

This bundle is perfect. It comes in a nice box with:

1. Yes baby car mirror - made with shatter proof glass, a secure strap system to hold it in place, convex mirror, and pivot joint that let's you angle it so you can have a perfect view of baby in the back seat.

2. Cute pink baby fork and spoon set. They are made of silicone and have a unique color changing technology that changes with the food's temperature.

3. Reflective "Baby on Board" sign that sticks with a suction cup to the car window. 

4. Access to a digital guide (The Aftermath of Acid vs Alkaline - PH - The Ignored Secret to Your Baby's Health!).

5. 5 year 100% satisfaction warranty on the mirror. I love when a company will back their products and ensure quality! #YesBaby

CAMPING HAMMOCK

I live in Utah. I have just recently decided I need to enjoy the outdoors more. That's why I am so excited about the new package that was just delivered to my house. I am now the proud owner of two camping hammocks. The first is a double camping hammock with tree straps from #Liveinfinitely.

I like that this hammock just folds up inside this little pouch that is attached. It is so easy to assemble and clean up. The included tree straps roll up into a nylon carrying case as well.

 This double hammock is strong and durable. It is made from the highest quality weather resistant 210T nylon with interlocked triple stitched seams (for you technical people out there) and is guaranteed to hold 450 lbs (put in simpler terms for me). The quick drying, weather & mildew resistant hammock (also machine washable) measures 9' 10" long by 6' 6" wide (300cm x 200cm) which can easily hold 3 adults. Anybody want to join me?

It comes with 11' 5"durable weather resistant nylon tree straps that have a stainless steel lashing ring and unique triple running stitch. The straps are designed to prevent stretching while still allowing simple setup. And if I can do the set up and tear down in less than 5 minutes...you can too. 

 My second newest prized possession is the ultralight camping hammock from #Rallt with #TheUltralight hammock straps. This hammock has super lightweight components. The built-in compression straps cinch it down to a tiny 6” x 6” x 4” package, making it an excellent choice for those of ya'll who like backpacking. It comes with everything you need to hang it including ropes and aluminum wire gate carabiners. 

The ultralight hammock is also made of a 210 nylon body and can hold up to 400 lbs safely with premium carabiners and nautical-grade rope. This one is made for one, but my dog Day-Z snuck in with me. I mentioned it comes with straps and all, but I wanted to try out the hammock straps available for purchase from the same company. You get 10 feet each strap and they pack to 4" x 4" x 1.5" and weigh 12 ounces for the set. Also, reflective tracers are stitched into the webbing for those adventurous ones who need a quick set-up or take down in the dark.

It also folds up easily in nice little attached pouches.

Now who wants to go camping with me??

Both companies want you to be happy so your purchase comes with a satisfaction guarantee...and you all know I LOVE great customer service!

I received these products free of charge for my honest opinions.
