Hershey’s Valentine Giveaway

by holly on February 3, 2012

What’s Valentine’s day without candy and chocolate?  Hershey’s is the go-to brand for all your Valentine goodie needs.  They’ve got a great selection of gifts and treats for everyone!

  • For faraway family members and friendsHershey’s Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates Picture Box and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures Picture Box — both have a picture frame on top of the box to create a special reminder of home
  • For your child’s teacherHershey’s Golden Apple and Twizzlers Strawberry Twists Pencil Can
  • For coworkers and friends: Forget the cards with Hershey’s Valentine’s Exchange variety bags, which are fully-equipped with a “To” and “From” section directly on the packaging

Hershey’s sent me a variety of Valentine products to test out.  I feel like they know our family personally because they sent all of our favorites!

Who doesn’t love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups?  This cute little tin holds 4 King Size Reese’s packs that each contain 2 Reese’s King Size Peanut Butter Big Cups — Enough to share with those you love! 

I personally can’t resist a York Peppermint Patty, especially if it comes straight from the freezer.  I love that they come in a heart shaped Valentine version with a pink middle.  They are available in a heart shaped box like the one pictured or as a full bag of treats.

If I said these Jolly Rancer Lollipops were just for the kids, I’d be lying.  They’re perfect for sharing with my son’s preschool class — luckily we only need about 14 for that  so we can all eat a few to “test” them.  I like cherry, my son likes watermelon and since my daughter likes anything pink, she went for the pink lemonade. Yum!

For a little more romance and novelty, the hugs and kisses XOXO Milk Chocolate Bar pictured at the top of the page is a good choice.

For more information on Hershey’s seasonal products, Valentine’s Day recipes, gift giving solutions and ideas, visit http://www.hersheys.com/celebrate/valentines/.

Edible Arrangements Valentine #Giveaway

by holly on February 2, 2012

Whenever my husband and I want to have a romantic and special evening we buy sparkling cider and make chocolate dipped strawberries together.  Now that I think about it, it’s been far too long.  In fact, I’m not even sure if we have made chocolate covered strawberries since we’ve had kids.  Luckily, there’s Edible Arrangements.  They deliver the most beautiful and delicious chocolate covered strawberries right to your door.  We may not have time anymore to make our own but that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy a our traditional romantic evening together after the kids are in bed thanks to Edible Arrangements.

Today I received a dozen Swizzle Berries Mixed Chocolate Covered Strawberries ($39).  Half of them were dipped in semi-sweet chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate while the other half were the reverse — white chocolate with dark drizzle.  Unfortunately, my husband is out of the country for work.  Lucky for my kids, they got to help me sample these little beauties!  My 3 and 4 year olds went straight for the semisweet chocolate  ones while I preferred the more mild flavor of the white chocolate.  Both were divine!

I think Swizzle Berries make the perfect Valentine gift but if you want to make a bigger impression or score more points, Cupid’s Surprise might do the trick:

My personal choice would be My Berry Valentine:

What would you choose? Check out the full selection of Valentine’s at Edible Arrangements!

Umi Shoes For Spring — #Review & #Giveaway

by holly on January 31, 2012

When I saw Umi’s new spring styles I just knew I had to have the Halina style for my oldest daughter.  The bright colors and fun plaid pattern completely fit her spunky personality.  Not only that, they match nearly everything in her wardrobe from jeans to skirts.  The  turquoise color is a staple for her because of her bright red hair.  She loves pink but for her clothing, I rarely buy her anything that has pink as more than an accent color.  These Mary Jane style tennis shoes are feminine enough to dress up a little with casual skirts and dresses while still sturdy and comfortable enough for everyday wear for jumping and playing.  The Velcro strap keeps the shoes on her feet so I don’t have to worry about them slipping off.  Plus, she’s able to be her independent little self and put them on on her own.

My daughter always wants to wear these shoes.  Luckily, they’re perfect for just about everything! As with all of the Umi Shoes we’ve ever owned, I fully expect these shoes to last through more than one child even as much as they’re worn.  My youngest daughter will be able to wear these when she grows into them.  You gotta love that!

The Halina style retails for $46 and also comes in pink/white.

Check out all of Umi’s new styles at www.UmiShoes.com.

Feeling lucky?  Enter to win a $60 Umi Shoes gift card by filling out the form below.  Also, be sure to check out all of our other giveaways. NOTE: if you are having trouble with the mandatory entry on the form below, click “I did this” first. Then the form will pop up to enter your info.

Want to do your own thing?  Schwan’s has an awesome selection of foods perfect for parties. This season they’ve introduced NEW Crispy Wings with Either Buffalo or BBQ sauce. My family got the opportunity to try these out and though we are pretty strictly BONELESS wing fans ourselves, we still very much enjoyed the Crispy Wings.  I loved that the sauce comes in two separate packets in case you don’t want to make the whole bag at once.  The fact that the sauce was on the side was perfect for our family since we have on child who loves to “dip” and one who will not eat sauce of any sort.  The sauces can be served on the side as dip or tossed with the cooked wings to coat them.  Either way, they are quite delicious.  Once again, Schwan’s does not disappoint.

Check out their tailgating and party packs at schwans.com/gameday and everything else they have to offer at Schwans.com.

When you think of Coca-Cola, what is the first thing that comes to mind besides the color red?  Probably polar bears, right? Polar bears have been part of Coca-Cola tradition since 1922 and have come to represent icy cold refreshment. I’m not a daily pop drinker but I can’t resist a coke on ice, especially if it’s accompanied by a fresh slice of lemon.  Just typing that has left my mouth watering!

The polar bears in the Arctic need our help.  That’s why Coca-Cola has partnered with World Wildlife Fund for a campaign called “Arctic Home.”  Together Coca-Cola and WWF will raise awareness and funds to help create a safe haven for the polar bear and you can help!

Coca-Cola committed to donating an initial $2 million to help the WWF preserve the polar bear habit.  They’ve also offered to match donations through March — up to $1 million. To have Coca-Cola match your donation, simply text the code on specially-marked Arctic Home packages to 357357. You can also make donations online at ArcticHome.com. Each donation accompanied by a code from specially-marked packages will not only be matched, but a designated parcel of the virtual Arctic Home refuge will be donated in your name on the site.  How cool is that?!

Be sure to check out the new limited-edition red “Arctic Home” cans which are now on store shelves to raise awareness of the effort being made to protect the polar bear’s Arctic home.

Feeling lucky?  Enter to win a polar bear prize pack valued at $100 which includes:

  • Polar Bear Hat with attached paw mittens
  • Polar Bear Stuffed Animal
  • Polar Bear 3-D Puzzle
  • Polar Bear  Shaped Pillow
  • Ice Cube Tray – Bear Shapes
  • Polar Bear Cookie Cutter
  • Red Throw Blanket

As you can see, my kids have been enjoying the polar bear hat (stuffed bear & pillow too!) and  I have to admit, I’ve barely left the couch since I opened up the red throw blanket.  It’s so warm and snugly!  We are looking forward to making polar bear cookies and jello jigglers when I finally come out of hibernation.

Kids aren’t the only ones who can use some fun in the oral care department.  Who wants a plain boring toothbrush when there are other, much more appealing options? Who says toothbrushes can’t be stylish?  The Slim Sonic Portable Sonic Toothbrush is trendy and sleek.

These are perfect for keeping in your cosmetics or toiletries bag so you’ll always have a toothbrush handy for overnight trips or traveling.  I love the fun colors and designs they come in — isn’t the zebra one rockin’?  The brush heads on the Slim Sonic are on the small side, otherwise, I’d consider using one as my daily toothbrush.  Then it would matter if I set it down on the counter or stuck it in a drawer.  These brushes are excellent for kids.  The brush heads are the perfect size for them!
