Babywearing blogger opportunity

This is a blogger opportunity from a friend of mine, Lisa at The Squishable Baby. I apologize for the cluster of review/giveaway posts so close together — several projects overlapped, as will happen near the holidays! In any case, this is an exciting opportunity not only to enter to win a beautiful mei tai (my favorite type of baby carrier, hands down — or should I say, hands free!) but also to promote your blog while promoting the giveaway. So if you're interested in supporting Lisa & babywearing, read on! Note that I have received no compensation for posting this beyond some well-appreciated link love.

 

Didytai Giveaway Event

Sponsored by Caribou Baby

 

Hosted by:

The Squishable Baby

 

~PLEASE READ THIS BLOGGER OPP
IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE FILLING IN ANY FORMS~

 

Didymos DidyTai

We are giving away a beautiful — one of a kind — Didymos DidyTai RV $190. {US 18+}

The DidyTai is a wonderful marriage between a woven wrap and a Buckle carrier. Super fast (and easy to learn) like the buckle carrier and snuggly like a wrap. The DidyTai (or wrap-tai) has a criss-cross back for weight support. This is the only Mei Tai style carrier that Caribou Baby recommends for newborns because of the tremendous back support — and the ability to carry the baby legs out in a deep squat — from day 1.

The DidyTai is versatile. Its toggle base allows for a great newborn hold and allows for the mobility of an older baby.

Other features of the Didy Tai include:

  • Reversible two-color carrier
  • Anatomically correct squat-spread-position
  • Special, diagonally stretchable cloth
  • Lightweight and handy
  • Free from any toxic materials
  • Pure organic cotton
  • Non-toxic dyes
  • Made in Germany
  • Machine washable
  • Long-lasting and resistant

Free blogger opportunity

We are looking for bloggers who have Twitter AND Facebook followings larger than 1,500 - who are willing to post 3 posts (the blogger opp, the getting excited about babywearing post on November 19th and the Giveaway post on December 4th) and promote on Facebook AND Twitter at least 4X per week.

This review of the Little Pim Discovery Set is part of the Second Annual Natural Parents Network Holiday Gift Guide hosted by Natural Parents Network!

I am bringing you FIVE Gift Guide reviews over a span of several days — so read about these products I love, and then come back to enter the giveaways on November 6. I solicited the prizes I'm reviewing specifically because I knew my family already loved them or because they were right up my kids' alley. I'm so pleased to present them to you over the next five days!

And I'm not the only one who got to review amazing, eco-conscious, mindful, and natural products: A whole crew of our NPN volunteers did, too! If you need to complete your holiday shopping, find a birthday present for a friend, or just treat yourself to something special, the NPN Holiday Gift Guide has something for everyone. But what's even better, the NPN Holiday Gift Guide is a great opportunity to shop consciously and to support many naturally minded small businesses.

The 55 companies that have provided items for review and giveaway are almost exclusively made up of work-at-home shops or companies that are dedicated to supporting eco-conscious choices. I'm featuring one of those companies in my review below. When you get done reading my review, please click on over to the full Second Annual Natural Parents Network Holiday Gift Guide, where you'll find information on 58 products. In total, we're giving away goodies worth more than $2,500!

Even if you don't win one of our fabulous prize packages, please consider spending part of your gift-giving budget at one of these small businesses. By supporting small businesses, you are helping families, boosting local economies, and supporting ethical practices of manufacturing, production and selling. Take advantage of coupon codes provided by many of the companies. You'll be able to find them at the full Gift Guide when it publishes November 6.

To make browsing easier, we've split the Gift Guide into sections with products that are Perfect for Kids and Perfect for Families. And you can find all 6 Rafflecopter widgets there, too, to make entering all the giveaways easy.
