deal sites for christmas gifts

i love checking out the discount sites that post new deals on the daily--especially for finding gifts.  these are a few of my favorites.

zulily carries lots of children's clothes, and they often have beautiful organic lines.  today they even have fuzzibunz cloth diapers for $11.99!  they often have fun, green toys or nursing apparel for moms.  a warning, their shipping can be SLOOOOOW, but they're guaranteeing shipping by christmas, so you're still in good shape.

 
totsy is another (smaller) discount site with items for baby and child.  wooden toys, clothes, and sometime organic bath care are among their featured items.

eversave is a one-deal-a-day-site similar to groupon.  in some cities (like philadelphia), eversave posts local deals, but for pittsburgh so far it's all been deep discounts from online retailers--which is even better for me, since we aren't that close to downtown anyway.  they'll discount shoes, bags, gift baskets, jewelry, kids stuff--it runs the spectrum--but they tend to feature interesting boutiques for their daily deals, and the items are often earth-friendly.

happy gift-giving:)

Robeez Baby Shoes Giveaway

Welcome to so much shouting, so much laughter reviews and my very first giveaway, courtesy of CSN, a massive online source for everything from kids' stuff to speaker stands.  Their shipping is lightning quick and often free:)

I love baby shoes.  L-O-V-E.  Especially sweet little soft-soled baby moccasins.  Jim hates them.  He doesn't understand why babies wear shoes.

Um, because they're adorable.

James has one 0-6 months pair of Ministar turtle moccasins that never fit his chubby ankles.  Now that he's wearing more pants and fewer "footie" outfits, I've been wishing for a pair that fit, and CSN's offer to review Robeez came at the perfect time.

I wasn't taking any chances:  I ordered James a size 12-18 months so there would be plenty of room for his sweet, not-quite-six-months-old baby cankles:)

I picked Organic Tree in Taupe, and Jim even agreed that they were cute.  They are printed and embroidered with with a tree that reminds me of my very favorite symbol, the tree of life.

These shoes are made from over 60% recycled vegetable-tanned leather, with a 100% organic canvas upper, using water soluble inks and adhesive.  Soft suede soles protect little feet while remaining flexible, to help baby balance, and they're approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association.  Elastic around the ankles helps to keep them snugly on wiggly baby feet.  You can even print out a chart to make sure you get the perfect fit.

Eco-friendly, helpful, and adorable?  Perfect!

Well, almost.

As it turns out, they are perfect baby girl shoes.  Maybe they should have called them Organic Tree in Taupe and Pink.  Or maybe I should have examined the photo a little more closely, but seriously, can you tell that the ankle trim is pink?  I realized one of the lovebirds was, but that didn't disqualify them from being unisex in my mind.

These Robeez shoes are really cute, but I don't notice much of a difference between them and the Ministar baby moccasins that Target sells for half the price.  James never got to wear his, but Dylan had two cute pairs that wore well.  While I would not buy a conventional pair of Robeez (which sell for the exact same price as this "eco-friendly" model), this style is greener than the Target line, and that is worth a higher price tag to me.

So my son is rockin' pink kicks, and he might be for the next 7-13 months, if they fit as suggested.  When Dylan wore pink or dresses, strangers routinely thought she was a boy because of her wispy hair.  The lesson I've taken from that is people are dumb not that good with details, and I doubt a little pink trim ever hurt anyone;)

If you want to win your own pair of Robeez from CSN, just leave me a comment saying what tiny baby things make you melt with a way to get in touch (if you're not a blogger).  Want another entry?  Follow this brand new blog of mine or subscribe, and leave another comment telling me that you do.  Want a third entry?  Follow or subscribe to my main blog, so much shouting, so much laughter, (again, leaving a comment here saying you do).  The last day to enter is Sunday April 18, and I will announce a winner on Monday, April 19.

Good luck!
