MyMomShops Giveaway: Gift Hero

Phew! I don't know about you, but I'm a little worn out from Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. I could use a little breather. How about a fun giveaway to ease back into the week?

Remember when I first introduced you to New York City-based toy site Gift Hero? Well, these two NYC moms have made a big splash in the gift world with their smartly-designed, user-friendly site where it's easy to shop for birthday gifts, holiday gifts, or "anytime" gifts by age, gender, or price range (as a Jewish mom, I also appreciate that they have a special Hanukkah gift section). The toys are all "kid tested" and guaranteed to receive rave reviews. Plus, Gift Hero offers free shipping on orders of $75 or more and their shipping is lightning fast (they always ship the next business day after receiving your order).

For this week's giveaway, they're offering one MyMomShops reader a special item from their just-hatched selection of baby gifts. This Apple Park Organic Soft Block Set is the perfect "first holidays" gift, appropriate even for newborns. The set, which retails for $30, includes three soft 100% cotton organic blocks decorated with appliques, numbers, and silk gingham patches. Each 3" x 3" block makes a gentle noise (bell, rattle, or squeak). It arrives gift-ready in beautiful, eco-friendly packaging printed with soy ink.


Cute, isn't it? Browse this and other baby gifts, or gifts all the way up to ages 8 through 10 (it'll happen faster than you think!) at Gift Hero.

Win it! One MyMomShops reader will win an Apple Park Organic Soft Block Set ($30) from Gift Hero. Here are the contest rules:

1) Visit Gift Hero and tell us what your favorite baby gift is (it does not have to be the giveaway item). Leave your comment on THIS post (click on "comments" below).
2) Post your comment by 11:59pm EST on Thursday, December 2nd.
3) You may leave up to 3 separate entries- 1 entry with a comment as described in #1, 1 entry with a link to where you have blogged about this giveaway, 1 entry with your Twitter name if you have tweeted about this giveaway.

GOOD LUCK!

Last Chance for Cyber Monday Discounts at Tiny Prints

I'm curious- how many of you have ordered your holiday cards already? And how many of you have already mailed them out? (If you have, you're my hero). I'm feverishly addressing mine now. Half of the people on my list celebrate Hanukkah, which starts in less than 48 hours. Looks like I'm running late.

If you're still having trouble choosing your cards, take a look at this design I just stumbled onto at Tiny Prints. It's appropriate for anyone. If I hadn't ordered mine already (which I'll show you once they go out), this would've been a top contender. It's "Standout Statement" by Robyn Miller for Tiny Prints and you can order it in one of 3 colors (I would've chosen navy to make it a little less Christmas-y and appropriate for my Hanukkah recipients). Though I really like the beige background, too. Which do you like best?




The card pricing starts at $1.10 each, and, good news...Tiny Prints is still accepting its Cyber Monday coupon code today (Tuesday). So if you order today, enter code "CYBER50" at checkout and you'll receive $10 off orders of $49 or more, $20 off orders of $99 or more, or $50 off orders of $199. And, as always, you'll enjoy free Standard Shipping on all orders of $45 or more. Go ahead and browse this and other designs at Tiny Prints (they've even got matching address labels for most designs). But order quickly to take advantage of the coupon codes...and because those cards are going to start arriving in mailboxes soon!
