Gutzy Gear Review & #Giveaway

It’s that time of year again.  Time to prepare the kiddos to head back to school.  I remember when I was little how much fun it was to get new school supplies and a new backpack.  It seems like the products available now are a lot cooler than back in the day.  Take Gutzy Gear for example. Gutzy Gear strap covers are made with hook receptive fabric and attach to your backpack straps.  They allow kids to show of their individual and ever changing style with a wide variety of colorful patches that attach to the strap covers with hook fasteners that stick to the loop fabric (think Velcro).  There are over 28 different sets of Gutzy patches to choose from.  Collect them, trade them with your friends and rearrange them on your backpack straps for a customizable and fun look! A set of straps comes with 2 mystery Gutzy patches and retails for $9.99.  Additional patches are sold separately in sets of two for $5.  They are available at GutzyGear.com, Kmart, Walmart, Toys R Us and Target stores to name a few.  Find a store near you here.

To celebrate heading back to school Gutzy Gear sponsored a pizza party for us and provided a whole bunch of goodies.  We invited our preschool play group and some friends of various ages and introduced them to Gutzy Gear.  All of the kids were so excited to pick out which Gutzy patches they wanted and put them immediately onto their backpacks.  With so many different styles of Gutzy Gear patches there was something for everyone!  Character Gutzies are now available including Spiderman and The Hulk which I know my son will go crazy for.

The cool thing about Gutzy patches is how collectible they are.  They are fun to share and trade with friends which in turn helps promote social interaction and positive self esteem. They really customize the look of your backpack without any gluing or sewing too which keeps Mom happy!

Gutzy Gear are not just for backpacks.  They can also be used on messenger bags or anything with a strap.  In fact, one creative mom at the party suggested using one on the shoulder strap of a seat belt!  Cool idea!

Thank you to Gutzy Gear for providing the pizza and products!  We had a great time!
