Red Envelope and ProFlowers Makes Valentines Easy *Giveaway*

Every year my husband and I celebrate Valentine's Day with dinner and a movie at home. I usually try to make something special like shrimp scampi, or something out of the norm. We rarely give each other gifts, as we feel that we show our love throughout the year. This year, with a move on our horizon, our gifts have been more along the lines of file cabinets and stuff for the new place to help stay organized and make it feel like a home.

While searching for some home decor and things that really fit our style, I found RedEnvelope.com and knew right away what I wanted for our "Valentine's Day Gift". For the first time in our adult life, we have a hallway. I know, it doesn't sound like a major thing, but what do you do with a hallway?

My first impression was to put pictures in it, but I wanted something more than that. I found this beautiful Hall Gallery Frame Set, and knew that it would be perfect for that space. Isn't it gorgeous?! I knew as soon as I saw it that I would have to get it for our new home.

While I was there, I decided to look around and splurge a little on something for Brian. After all, this year we've celebrated 10 years of being together, and it's been awhile since the last time I bought him something just for him. He's an electrician, and doesn't have an office, so most items for men that are on the market during Valentine's Day is stuff for a desk, or cufflinks, or tie tacks and the like. While browsing I found the coolest thing for him, a Buffalo Nickel Money Clip Wallet. He loves old coins, and I thought that this would be perfect for him to use on weekends, or in exchange for his bulky wallet. Part of me was thinking of the Home Brewery Kit, (perfect for a man who has everything), but I wasn't sure if I wanted to take that step.. His brother brews his own beer, and well, I like the fact that my husband only has one on occasion.

The greatest part about RedEnvelope.com is that they not only have gifts for men and women, but gifts for the whole family, and for the house. If you can't decide what to get for your loved one, you can send a more traditional Valentine- flowers and chocolate! Whether you are looking for decadent chocolate covered strawberries, truffles, or just a bouquet of bright flowers for your mom, you will find it at RedEnvelope.com. You all know how I love "one stop shopping", and this place is it! Once you’ve picked out the perfect gift, choose delivery dates (including day-of shipping), select gift wrap, add a personalized card, and you’re set. No more trips to the mall for tired greeting cards and tacky ties!

While you’re shopping, be sure to check out ProFlowers.com too, for fresh, colorful flowers and gifts! From roses to lilies, plus add-ons like gourmet truffles and chocolate-dipped berries, you’re sure to find the sweetest gift for the ones you love – for Valentine’s Day and beyond!

To share the love with my readers, RedEnvelope.com is offering a $100 gift certificate for one lucky reader!

"Mommy's Baby" Goldberger Toy Review + Giveaway!

Abbigaile loves baby dolls. This year, she's asked for three different baby dolls, but the one she's getting is the Mommy's Baby Doll from the Goldberger Toy company.

There are many baby dolls on the market geared specifically for children ages 3-7, but with Mommy's Baby you don't have to worry about expensive kits to replace, disposable baby diapers or having a baby that makes a mess. This baby is easy to take care of, and allows for your child to use their imagination.

This baby doll looks real, acts real, and even smells real- in a good way. She's got chubby cheeks and the sweetest mouth, and beautiful eyes that open and close. Mommy's Baby interacts with your child in 10 different ways. She sips from her bottle, coo's and goo's, giggles and laughs- she's the closest thing to a real baby your baby could own!

Goldberger Toy makes many different dolls and toys, perfect for your child in all of the stages of their life.

Abbigaile's first dolly ever was the Baby's First Giggles Doll. This soft bodied baby bursts into giggles every time you squeeze her tummy.

Waterwonders toys are perfect to take to the tubby, because once they are submerged they start flashing. Children will love 'swimming' with their Waterwonders pet, and their bath-time will be full of giggles!

Brand new Seedlings are made from cotton fibers that are free of harsh chemicals and dyes. Their bodies are filled with polyester fibers and are completely machine washable.

With all Goldberger Toy products, shop with confidence because they provide a Lifetime Guarantee, plus free shipping on all orders over $25 at their online store!

Stonyfield Farm’s Organic YoBaby Meals Gift Bag Giveaway!

My entire family loves Stonyfield Farm products, and when the kids were little they loved YoBaby Yogurt. I still get the large tubs of organic yogurt and share it with them. They love dipping their apple slices into it the best.

This year, Stonyfield Farm’s YoBaby turns 10 this year, and will be marking the occasion by growing its line to include new YoBaby Meals.

YoBaby Meals offer a unique 3-in-1 combination of protein-packed yogurt + fruit + veggie purée in one cup. They’re an easy, delicious and surprising way to help moms give their babies and toddlers a trio of important food groups at every meal.

Three delicious flavors -- Pear & Green Bean, Peach & Squash, Apple & Sweet Potato – are just right for baby’s growing appetite. And the single serve 6-ounce cup offers 50% more than current 4-ounce YoBaby multipacks.

YoBaby Meals comes with the same Stonyfield Guarentee from the owner and creator: “I promise your child will love it, or your next cup of yogurt is on us!” Click here for more details.

YoBaby Meals is still all natural and certified organic, made with milk from cows fed organic feed and not treated with antibiotics or artificial growth hormones – since Stonyfield Farms always believed organic is not only better for baby, but better for the planet as well.

If you have a moment, learn more about Stonyfield Farms, how they started, and the importance of organic farming. In the meantime...

Want it?
Head to your local dairy section to get your baby some YoBaby Meals. Be sure to check out the Stonyfield Farms website for coupons and money saving offers.

Cartoon Network & Kids Foot Locker Reward Shoppers with Ben 10: Alien Swarm Crossover Promo! + Ben10 Poster Giveaway & BONUS ENTRY OPPORTUNITY!!

Cartoon Network is aligning super marketing powers with sports retailer Kids Foot Locker this holiday season to reward shoppers with a limited edition Ben 10: Alien Swarm movie poster gift with the purchase of Converse Chuck Taylor shoes.

The high profile on-air, online and in-store co-branded promotion builds upon the anticipated world television premiere of Cartoon Network’s all-new live-action/CGI movie Ben 10: Alien Swarm on Wednesday, Nov. 25 at 7 p.m. The gift-with-purchase promotion is featured in-store and at kidsfootlocker.com starting Nov. 18-Dec. 6, 2009.

Throughout the promotional period, Cartoon Network will drive awareness for the co-branded Kids Foot Locker campaign with custom on-air spots driving consumers to their local Kids Foot Locker store to find out more about Converse shoes and the Ben 10: Alien Swarm movie poster gift-with-purchase program. The promotional spot featured on-air at Cartoon Network will also stream online at the video section on CartoonNetwork.com.

“Expanding the Ben 10 brand off the small screen and into a retail giant like Kids Foot Locker is monumental—especially during the holiday shopping season,” said John O’Hara, executive vice president and general sales manager of Cartoon Network and Adult Swim Ad Sales and Marketing. “It’s a strategic marketing alliance that not only continues to increase the property’s exposure, but also rewards fans through an immersive experience.”

“Ben 10 is Cartoon Network’s most successful original property here in the U.S. and around the world,” added Jill Shields, Cartoon Network senior vice president of marketing and promotions. “We are tactically marketing the much-anticipated premiere of Ben 10: Alien Swarm across kids television, throughout popular online gaming sites, in print, on radio, at movie theatres, on billboards, via publishing and at retail. The film is one of our most ambitious projects this year so we’re thrilled that a partner such as Kids Foot Locker will elevate our promotional efforts to reach out to kids and families.”

Across more than 300 Kids Foot Locker retail stores, Ben 10: Alien Swarm tune-in and co-branded promotion details will be featured through in-store displays. In addition to reaching in-store shoppers, the posters will be made available to online purchasers of Converse products made at kidsfootlocker.com. The campaign will be recognized in the Kids Foot Locker VIP loyalty club communications, distributed to over 300,000 homes through both opt-in e-mail and direct mail distribution.

Throughout November, Cartoon Network’s international operations in countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Poland, Italy, Spain, South Africa, Mexico and the Philippines will host premiere events and screenings in 26 languages to support the global broadcast premiere of Ben 10: Alien Swarm. The film follows 16-year-old Ben Tennyson as he breaks ranks from the Plumbers (a secret organization that battles alien forces) to help a mysterious young woman from his past uncover an alien threat to our world. The live-action/CGI movie is directed and executive-produced by Alex Winter, who also directed Cartoon Network’s first Ben 10 live-action movie, Ben 10: Race Against Time, which attracted more than 13 million viewers during its Thanksgiving weekend premiere in 2007.

Ryan Kelley (Prayers for Bobby) stars as Ben Tennyson, with industry veteran Barry Corbin (No Country for Old Men) starring as Grandpa Max. Galadriel Stineman (Junkyard Dog) is Gwen, Ben’s super-powered cousin, and Nathan Keyes plays Kevin Levin, who has joined Ben’s team for the good of the universe, but still seems to have a scheming side. Alyssa Diaz (Red Dawn) plays Elena, a long-time friend of Ben.

The Ben 10 Alien Force animated television series currently premieres new episodes on Cartoon Network Friday nights at 8:30 p.m. (ET, PT) with replays throughout the week. Ben 10: Alien Swarm will be released on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc domestically on Dec. 1 through Warner Home Video.
