ModTots! {Giveaway}

Posted on | February 7, 2011 | 280 Comments

it’s no secret how much i adore gregg and megan of Modern Bird Studios. it’s safe to say some of my favorite items in my entire house came from them. i’d grab my MB pieces if my house caught on fire and i had an extra moment. seriously.

so when they told me they were starting another venture, geared towards kiddos called ModTots, i swooned. i knew they’d knock it out of the park. when they told me there would be a narwhal? let’s just say that pants? peed. and when my narwhal (and Harrison the Fox) arrived on my doorstep, they were as amazing as i knew anything by gregg would be.

they’re making these little pieces of awesome in all sorts of animals, and have recently added robots (!) and monsters and dinosaurs are on their way. these works of art are customizable (choose your background color after you choose your animal or robot) and the perfect addition to any nursery, kids room, or even home office (what? no i will not steal the narwhal from Harper and put it in my workspace. ::side eye::).

each piece is handmade, one at a time, by gregg. yours is created when you order it. super sweet extra to ModTots? if you’re the first to order an animal, robot, or soon monsters and dinosaurs – you get to name it. from then on, that animal (etc) is named after you or your kid. i love it!

and because the modsters are the amazing people that they are, they’d like to give one of you a $100 gift certificate to use at ModTots! To enter, simply do the following (multiple entry chances):

  • go over to ModTots, peek around and tell me what you’d get if you won!
  • follow ModTots on the Twitter
  • like ModTots on the Facebook

please remember! leave a separate comment for each of these yo do!

this is open to residents of the US and Canada. if you don’t want to wait to win, and get to naming an animal or robot, use the code HARPER at checkout for 10% off your order at ModTots, now through february 21st. i will draw a winner using random.org  and announce the winner monday the 14th. please get all your entries in by midnight PST on the 13th!

ready? go!

review & giveaway {Tea Collection}

Posted on | December 27, 2010 | 210 Comments

i hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! we certainly did. the H monster definitely understood the holiday this year and hearing her sing christmas songs, look for rudolph and open gifts was amazing.

and she looked adorable all weekend through all the festivities thanks to Tea Collection. Tea has adorable  boys clothes, girls clothes and even clothes for mamas. they offered to send Harper some goodies, so we hopped online and picked out some pretty dresses and tops for her and placed our order over the phone. as a person who isn’t a fan of placing orders on the phone, i can’t say enough good things about their process. it was fast, easy and i hung up very pleased. a few days later, pretty things showed up on our doorstep, just in time for the many holiday festivities we had lined up.

super cute, right? i just adore all the prints they offer – they are really unique and not something you will see on other brands. the fabrics are soft and perfect for play. i found it to be a wonderful place to shop for children’s clothes because Tea has signature looks – i can spot a Tea Collection kimono dress anywhere!

and because Tea is awesome, they want to give one lucky reader of the Haps $100 to spend on Tea Collections goodies! and you thought Christmas was over! :)

to enter to win, simply go to Tea Collection and then leave a comment here on what catches your eye, be it a print, style of dress or shirt, whatever! my personal favorite is their brand new line Viva la Artista. tell me your favorite! if you’d like to keep up on the latest from Tea and hear about discounts and giveaways, follow them on twitter or like them on facebook (not entries and not required to enter).

i will draw a winner this friday december 31st, so be sure to get your entry in before midnight thursday PST.

good luck friends!

Tea Collection sent us clothes at no cost to us. all opinions are my own and no compensation was received for this post.
