Win! Genius Pads
A while ago Courtney sang the praises of the Genius Pads — the giant sticky note pads. Such a clever idea, and such an ideal product to have in the house! My children love to draw on them because they stick to the table really well and are easy to display when finished. And I love to use them for all sorts of messages around the house.
To celebrate their Genius Pad Life Cycle, a tree re-planting project in Sri Lanka, Arash + Kelly are giving away 5 Genius Pads to 5 lucky Babyccino Kids readers. Yay! Just leave one comment below by Wednesday, July 14th for your chance to win a super handy, giant sticky note pad, and we’ll pick 5 lucky winners at random. Good luck!!

Win! Zoocchini animal towels
After-bath, pre-bed time has become something of a wilderness in our house with these super-fun towels from Zoocchini! My son is the lion and my daughter is the elephant, and my husband and I sing ‘The lion sleeps tonight’ as if we’re the Von Trapps instead of the Van de Paals. Sweet. These towels are thick, well made and have fun little details like ears, paws and cute little tails on them. They come in a variety of animals, and are super royal in size (royally big even for my 5-year-old), which makes them more-than-perfect for the beach as well.
Would you like to win 3 (three!) Zoocchini towels of your choice? Then just leave one comment below by Wednesday, July 7th and we’ll pick one winner at random. Good luck!!!

Win! A Monster Bedset from Little Baby Company
My little boys are completely enthralled by monsters. They talk about them all the time… sea monsters, dragon monsters, bone-eating monsters, etc. It’s not that they’re scared of them, but more that they’re really interested in the idea of ‘monsters’. Must be a boy thing.
So, in celebration of boys and monsters, we’re giving away this Monster Bedset by Kideko from the kind people at Little Baby Company. We’re also giving away the matching drawstring bag, perfect for toy storage. What little boy wouldn’t be thrilled with that?!
Just leave a comment below by next Wednesday, June 30th, and we’ll pick one winner at random. Good luck!
P.S. Check out Little Baby Company for more cool toys, bedding, clothing and decor pieces.
P.P.S. Congrats to Shalene who won the Eva & Oli Maternity Bag!
Win! Play-Doh Fun Factory
If my son likes a gift, he takes it to bed with him. No matter how big, small, soft or hard it is, it must spend the night on his pillow. When he recently received the Play-Doh Fun Factory Spin ‘n Store set, he took it to bed for three nights in a row. Meaning, this was a particularly good gift!
I’m pretty sure this toy will be a hit with most little boys (and girls), as it has been proving itself to be very popular for the last 50 (!!) years. And to make it even better; the Fun Factory has recently been completely re-designed, making the squeezing, moulding and extruding even more fun.
If you would like to try your luck AND the new and improved Play Doh Fun Factory Spin ‘n Store, then please leave one comment below by Wednesday, June 23rd, as we’re giving away 5 Fun Factories to 5 lucky Babyccino Kids readers. Winners will be picked at random. Good luck!

Win! Maternity bag from Eva and Oli
I
don’t have the need anymore to carry around a maternity bag (which almost makes me sad), but I never did find the perfect one. The bags I had were either too big or to small, too bulky or to narrow, or just not stylish enough. And I do think you need a bit of style even if the contents of the bag are not the most glamourous!
We are very lucky to offer a maternity bag from one of my very favourite labels Eva and Oli. The bag is super practical, as it has been designed to open up wide so you have extremely easy access to everything. And it closes with a magnet so you don’t have to fiddle around with a zip. It is also really stylish, so stylish that most people continue using it as a laptop bag once it has rendered its services as a maternity bag.
Just leave a comment below by Wednesday, June 23rd and we’ll pick one winner at random. Good luck!
In addition, Eva and Oli are offering Babyccino Kids readers an exclusive discount of 10% for the next 3 weeks, just used the promotional code: BABYCCINO.
Win! The white Freedom dress from Belle & Boo!
A couple weeks ago I wrote about the lovely dresses from Belle & Boo which are based on their charming and much loved drawings. The dresses are all darling, with hand-embroidered touches and beautiful details.
Belle & Boo are kindly giving away the white Freedom Dress (pictured) to one lucky reader. The dress is made from white cotton organdie and has their signature Boo bunny print on the inside layer faintly showing through. It’s perfect for a special event or summer party. The winner can choose the size (6mos up to 4yrs).

Win! A Newborn Essential Package from Paige Lauren!
As I’m sitting here writing this, my baby is wearing her long sleeve romper from Paige Lauren… and I can tell you — it is SOFT. It must be the softest baby jersey I’ve ever touched in my life!
Paige Lauren is a young LA designer who started producing baby clothes because she was frustrated in her search for simple, classic baby clothes for her friends. In the LA boutiques she visited she was unable to find garments without the ever-present design gimmicks or pop-culture-kitsch. Before long she had started her own line of super simple, assuredly luxurious baby clothes. And, again, with the highest degree of softness on the market!
Feeling is believing… which is great news for one lucky Babyccino reader! Paige Lauren is giving away a collection of newborn items (value worth more than $150!). The give-away includes: one classic long-sleeve tee, a sleeveless bodysuit, a jersey romper with feet, a jersey cap, a classic footie pant, and a long-sleeve bodysuit. How fantastic is that?!

P.S. Congrats to Jessica in London who won our last give-away: The Priti nail polish set from Shak-Shuka.
Win!! Priti Nail Polish set
Esther has already raved about the non-toxic Priti Nail Polish — it’s free from all the chemicals (toluene, formaldehyde, DBP and carcinogens) normally found in nail polish, and is safe enough for mothers-to-be and children. The Priti Princess Polish for kids comes in an 8ml bottle — perfect for little hands. And the Priti Soy Polish Remover is the only polish remover I’ve ever found to be 100% biodegrable and non-carcinogenic. It is soy and corn-based, derived from farm crops, and does not contain any petroleum ingredients — and it works!
Now for the exciting news… The stylish eco boutique, Shak Shuka, is generously giving away a Priti nail polish set which includes: one Priti Polish (for mums), one Priti Princess Polish (for kids), and one Priti Soy Remover. The winner can choose the colours.

P.S. Congratulations to Dana from Wisconsin, USA who won our last give-away: The cute outfit from Smallable!
Win!! Adorable ‘Gold’ baby girl outfit from Smallable
As a very pregnant mama, Smallable is a dangerous shop for me to browse. And especially if I go over to the baby girl section… (The baby boy section is equally cute, but fact is, I’m going to have a little girl!) Wish I could participate in this amazing give-away… Gold is a fairly new Belgian babywear brand that creates quality clothes in cosy, classic looks which really catch the eye. We love it.
Smallable is now very kindly offering this glorious Gold outfit to one lucky Babyccino Kids reader. It consists of one Kuun Dandelion Dress, and one Chica Blue Cardigan, both available in 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months. Beautiful!!!

Well, here’s the exciting bit… we’re giving away one flowery T-shirt and necklace of choice (for girl), and one cowboy T-shirt and necklace of choice (for boy). Both very cool and sure to be a hit with your little one!

P.S. Congrats to Sara from Chicago who won the three Jeff Friesen prints!
Peekaboo Barn
My Iphone is my saviour — whenever I need a 5-minute distraction for my kids (think restaurant, meeting, waiting room) I hand them the device and they entertain themselves without interruption! Even my 3-year-old knows how to unlock the phone and start up his favourite applications in a time frame of about 2 seconds (can you believe we struggled with the computer 10 years ago?).
One of his favourite apps is Peekaboo Barn (and Peekaboo Jungle) which I’ve written about before. There are now 3 new animals to add for free via an update on the Itunes store, but if you still have to get the whole app all together, you can quickly email peekaboo@nightanddaystudios.com, mention the country you live in and that you’re a Babyccino Kids reader, and the first 20 readers to email will get a code for a free download.

Win three Jeff Friesen Wild Life Prints!!
Maybe you’ve seen his work featured before on Bloesem Kids or Design Mom… Jeff Friesen is an award winning photographer, with a seriously impressive portfolio (check out his website). After the birth of his daughter he felt the urge to combine his more serious professional side (he calls it his “Bert” side) with his more playful parenting side (his “Ernie” side), and produced a seriously cool series of amazing animals in their new ‘natural’ habitat.
The hand-signed archival prints that Jeff sells at this Etsy shop are really lovely, and we have three of them (as pictured) available for one lucky Babyccino reader!
Just leave a comment by Sunday, March 28th Wednesday, March 31st and we’ll pick a winner at random.

Congrats, girls!
Masala Baby dress (and win!)
I love bright colours — especially in this cold, grey winter season a splash of colour does wonders to my mood. And my daughter loves dresses she can twirl in — the moment a dress twirls, it is labelled a princess dress! So when we received a beautiful dress from Masala Baby, a NewYork-based label, we both thought it was the best.
The colours are fabulous: a rich pink contrasting with a deep shade of orange — colours that instantly remind you of India. The dress is made from soft cotton and because of its full skirt it twirls and twirls endlessly (or until she gets really, really dizzy).
I have been layering it up with a long sleeved T-shirt underneath, but I cannot wait for it to be warm enough so my daughter can just slip it on and go play in the sun.
Masala Baby are kindly offering a 20% discount to Babyccino Kids readers, just use the discount code: friends.
Oh, and we are also giving away one of Masala Baby’s Pure Cotton Wrap Tunics! Just leave a comment by Sunday, March 21st and we’ll pick a winner at random.

Win! Inke’s Beautiful Wallpaper Birds
Very recently I wrote about how we decorated our children’s new room with a wonderful wallpaper tree from Inke Heiland. Inke’s silhouettes are made from exquisite vintage wallpaper and will instantly spruce up every kid’s room.
These birds come in a set of 2 with a bag of wallpaper glue attached, so the only thing you need is a bit of time on your hands and a cute place for the birds to go. But that shouldn’t be too difficult — they’re for instance very cute on top of a cabinet, or a curtain rail, or a light switch…
Do you think you could find a good spot for a set of birds? Great! Because Inke is very kindly offering TEN sets of handmade, vintage birds to TEN lucky readers!

Win a beautiful bracelet by Arabelle!
I must admit I’ve never been the biggest fan of children’s jewellery… but having seen Arabelle’s beautiful children’s collection, I’m afraid I have to eat my own words! The jewellery is so sweet and so tastefully done, all handcrafted in 18ct yellow gold (or silver if you prefer). The collection is inspired by traditional childhood toys and associations. (The bracelet pictured was inspired by a traditional abacus counting game with five beads — four pearls and one gold — which slide along a gold bar.)
What really wins me over about her jewellery is that all the pieces are adjustable in length (with different clasps incorporated into the pieces). So they really are a keepsake which can be worn forever. It makes a great gift for a special occasion (baptisms, Bar Mitzvahs, birthdays, etc.).
And the exciting news: Arabelle is very generously giving away a Ricochet bracelet (pictured) worth £190 to one lucky reader! Just leave a comment below by January 20th, and we’ll pick one winner at random!
Good luck!
P.S. You can find the Arabelle children’s collection at Dragons of Walton Street in London.

P.P.S. Congrats to Sarah who won the three dresses from Hucklebones!!!
Win 3 exquisite dresses from Hucklebones!!
I’m really excited about this give-away. I have a particular fondness for Hucklebones — do you remember I raved about the lovely yellow coat last winter from Hucklebones’ first collection, or that I was so pleasantly surprised to see the exquisite pieces in their second one?
For their third collection, Zoe and Dan of Hucklebones have outdone themselves again. Luxurious materials (pure silk, wool, cashmere, super soft jersey) printed with designs that are especially created for the season, all in highly original, classic cuts with an interesting twist. Any little girl would look absolutely darling in these creations!
Hucklebones is kindly giving away all three of the dresses (pictured above) from their winter collection to one lucky Babyccino reader. I’m sure you know a little princess (or three) who would love to wear one of these darling dresses, just in time for the holidays.
The following dresses are available in sizes 2yr, 3yr and 4yr and have a total retail value of £264.00 (!!):
- The Big Bow Dress (100% silk with a Hucklebones designed print)
- The Bluebird Frill Placket Dress (90% pure wool, 10% cashmere, woven in Scotland)
- The Matchstick Forest Dress (supersoft jersey with a Hucklebones designed print)
