Bloggy Giveaways Carnival~ Giveaway #1

This giveaway now closed, winner to be announced soon!
The winner, picked from the random number generator and counted twice is Majellamom from Waiting for Charlie... Congratulations!
I am so excited to be a part of the giveaway carnival again! I enjoyed the Dog Days of Summer and Fall Y'all giveaways so much! I am going to try to clear up my week as much as possible to enter lots of giveaways, and read lots of new blogs. But I am also going to be giving away some great prizes, myself!

Recently I became aquainted with a new blog and store about safe plastics for our children. As a parent of a child who is injured because of lack of care in what is put in our child's bodies from companies, I really want to be sure what goes into my children is safe. You cannot just trust companies, just look at all the toy recalls lately.

The Soft Landing was started by an RN who is taking time off to care for her children. She realized that there is a need to find safe baby products and she is working hard to find them for us. Alicia generously offered to give away a fantastic toy package made up of Bisphenol-a and Phthalate free teethers.


I fell in love with this cow the moment I set eyes on it! It is called the Jiggle Giggle Vibrating Teether - Cow and it retails for $7.95. The Nuby Jiggle Giggle Teether by Nuby vibrates when baby chews on it, providing massage and stimulation to gums. The other wing is filled with non-toxic purICE Gel that can be places in the freezer, but remains soft to provide a comforting teething surface.




She is also including a Jelly Fish Teethers 2 Pk that retail for $4.95. These are made by Sassy, and are meant for the fridge, not the freezer. Sassy is making great strides toward non-toxic products.


The Chan Pie Gnon Natural Rubber Teether Toy is getting a huge wave of fans in moms all over the place and retail for $13.95. They are so cute, and safe. Chan Pie Gnon by Vulli is handmade in France from all natural rubber and non-toxic paints. The yellow Chan Pie Gnon is included in this giveaway.


You can find the lowdown on plastics and non-toxic products for your children at The Soft Landing Baby Blog. Alicia has a great line of sippy cups and bottles that are made of safe plastics and glass. I fell in love with the Adiri Natural Nurser over there, and I can't wait to have another child so I can buy some cool new bottles!

The giveaway is open from January 28th through February 2. I will announce the winner on February 3. I want to give people who work a chance to enter through the weekend.
Leave a comment to be entered. Please leave an email to reach you if you win. It would be great if you stopped by the The Soft Landing to check out their products, but it isn't required. Several people have not left a way to be reached, if you don't have a blog, I need an email.

This giveaway is open to people in the United States, Canada and the US military at APOs and FPOs.

  1. I would love to be entered. We have been trying to make a concious effort to move away from plastics in our household, but it is hard to do. They are literally everywhere.

  106. I've been following the whole BPA thing myself and have gotten rid of all plastic eating utensils, cups, and bowls for my little one. Even bottles. The toys, oh they are another issue. My nephew (4) loaned us his outgrowns, and they are ALL plastic. Every single one. I have no idea if any of them are safe. We are culling out her toy bin, but some of her favorites are bright and shiny plastic. Oh boy. I'd love to win some new stuff for her to play with .

    I adore The Soft Landing! I am so interested in trying one of their featured pacifiers and want to order Sophie the Giraffe. So cute! I'd love to win this giveaway. These toys would go to a great home and would be well-loved.
