I thought I’d pop some lovely products we have been kindly gifted over the months rather than do short separate ones I thought I’d place them all together in one blog.
The first company I’m going to be reviewing is..
Bloomsbury mill.
Now this is properly the first company to gift us anything and we were over the moon when we revived our package! We got sent a lovely 6 pack of muslins and a 3 pack of HUGE swaddles and I mean they are massive! Which is fab.
Phoebe loves to hold a muslin when sleeping or when she’s trying to get to sleep and I was on the hunt for a super soft but also nice looking muslins and they were perfect! Their isn’t a day we don’t use one and in the summer the huge swaddles were perfect for a little blanket.
They also kindly sent us two cot bed duvet sets we chose the princess and fairy theme as it is just so cute! We are still to use them and it won’t be long as phoebe is one in less than 2 months time 😫
But the company it’s self are lovely and best customer service team! Thank you once again we love them!x
Here’s a throw back photo!
Next we have Babease..
We reached out to this company as we saw so much good press about there products! We where prepping ourselves for the BIG weaning journey and I reached out to them and asked if we could try some products and the kindly sent us 6/7 pouches for stage 1-2. Which was so kind of them and phoebe loved them, they are filled with such goodness and no nasty hidden sweeteners. They are packed full of veg and it’s great now phoebe eats every vegetable going even kale! They have such a good range and the packaging is so colourful and eye catching! So good to introduce different vegetables and flavours! Worth a try if you haven’t already.
We also won a giveaway with them in and won a month supply and we finished the lot!
I also added them to my 5k giveaway a while back and the team are so lovely to work with!
Thank you again.
Next we have Lollipop camera.
This was such a massive milestone for me in my Instagram/blogging because even though I reached out to them they got back to me straight away and wanted to send their product for us to try!
So this is a baby monitor and it works from using an app on your phone/tablet, I was so surprised how crisp and clear the monitor was compared to our old one.
I could see so much more detail and a lot more of her cot/room which was fab as we had to move our old one around because she wriggles around so much.
The sound is so clear. Even though it’s slightly behind on the live video it still sends you a notification as soon as she cry’s. You can also have movement on if needed.
The app is free and there is no monthly fee which is fab.
You can even talk through your phone to your baby if you want to! I Can safely say we love it and I love the fact it’s so easy to apply to the cot without any screws, and you can attach it to wall with it’s lovely branch tree holder.
Once again thank you.
Next we have Matchstick Monkey..
I was super excited about this collaboration because phoebe has been teething since 4 months old but and her gums were so white and there was no sign of one popping through anytime soon when 7 months hit we had one surface but hadn’t cut yet we reached out to matchstick monkey because we had seen them in so many shops and so many people using them! We had to give it a go and they kindly sent us a original matchstick monkey with a lovely sparkly book.
Phoebe used this monkey as soon as I toon it out the box! And it comes everywhere with us! It’s so easy for them to hold and they have such lovely bright colours to choose from it’s so hard to not get the collection.
After using it for a couple of months phoebe has now cut a tooth and I can safely say this has been a life savour in the meantime because it has the gum massager on the back of the monkeys head!
Highly recommend for a teething babe!!
Thank you again!x
Next we have Vertbaudetuk..
This company are a clothing range from France.
They reached out to me and asked if I’d review someone of there clothes for my daughter and of course who doesn’t love new clothes for their little ones!
So we got to choose some bits we would like and they sent them with in a week and it was super exciting!
I went for a pack of 3 sleepsuits, 2 outdoor onesies, pack of 5 long sleeve vests, and 2 pack of lovely laced necked long sleeve vests.
There was so much to choose from but I don’t dress her up in skirts or trousers much as I still want to keep her a baby for as long as possible might just be me but 🙋🏼♀️ I’m that sort of mum😂 but they where lovely colours and such amazing material.
The sleepsuits do up differently at the back which is fab when you have a baby who’s trying to crawl away after every bum change! So instead of doing up on the legs it does it at the back and then a flap for the bum! Which is also fab if changing their bum at nighttime!
The vest fit nicely and actually don’t hang over her hands which is a bonus.
We haven’t tried the lace vests yet as I’m trying to find some lovely bloomers to go with them!
The outdoor onesies are amazing! They are footless ones which is fab, I pop it over the top of the sleepsuit for an extra layer of popping out in the carrier or pram. They are done up by a zip so it’s super quick and easy to put on!
We are so chuffed with how all the products came out and they all wash really well, no colour run – we got the size 9months which means 6-9. I got confused about the sizing but she’s 10 months and they fit nicely but bare in mind she’s a small 10 months. She only weighs 17lb 10oz. So I’d recommend maybe ordering a size up if your not 100% sure but if I wanted 9-12 you’d order 12months.
Thank you once again.
Next we have CaseApp…
I got reached out to by this amazing company and was super excited to get the collaboration started!
I got to choose between a phone case or a laptop skin! I don’t really use my Mac so I went for a phone case.
You can choose from so many different designs and patterns it’s great and then you upload the photos you’d like to use and you can move them around, zoom in or edit if needed.
You don’t have to use photos you can make your own design however you please for yourself or for a friend.
You then choose what texture of the case you’d like I went for the mat effect as I like the way it feels.
Deliver was super quick and it comes nicely packaged as well. So it’s well protected.
They gave me a discount code for all my followers to use till the end of January.
BABYPHOEBE20 – if you fancy a browse.
Thank you can’t wait to work with you again!
Next we have Cheeky Chompers…
They contacted me and they wanted to send us some goodies from there amazing sale they had on, so they kindly sent phoebe a lovely chew gift set from there joules collection!
We won one of their comfortchews in a giveaway and phoebe loved it!
So we were super excited to work with them on this!
In the set you get a neckerchew and a comforchew! They have 20% off till the end of January 2019. Such amazing prints and the material is so soft!
The neckerchew is a dribble bib with a teether on the end. It’s also reversible😱 it’s such a fab idea!
The comfortchew has ribbon, tags, teether and elasticated link for attaching to the pram, baby or whatever you can think of so you don’t loose it in the street or gets chucked on the floor 100 times in a day😂
We love both products and would recommend getting one specially if your little one loves soft snuggly blankets and is teething if your like me and forget to pack things this is a fab item to have as you have it all in one!
Next we have the nail Snail..
We reached out to this company as I was in need of a new one to cut my little ones nails! As she all of a sudden point blank refuses to sit still or let me cut her nails for longer than a few seconds.
When I saw this it looks like a fab opportunity to try something new and completely different!
It’s such a cute shape and has everything together on one product.
It has the nail Scissor for the neck of the snail, underneath it has a file, the tail is for getting out dirt for under the nail.
And it all honesty I have used it for myself and it’s so quick and easy. We have been using it for 5 weeks now and it’s made my life so much easier and even my other half can now do it as she stays still and doesn’t have a total melt down!
If your struggling to cut your little ones nails this is something worth trying because phoebe now loves to help and hold the snail!
Thank you so much for making this task turn into something quick and fun!
Next we have Bubzi Co.
They kindly sent us a handprint clay making set. I was super excited to use this are the last time we used one on phoebe was at 3/4 weeks old! So it was lovely to do one at 9 months and compare it! It was so simple and easy to use. It all comes pre mixed all you have to do is warm it up to get the mixture going takes areound 10 minutes. You then choose what sort of shape you’d like and they send a heart or circle for you to use so you get the right thickness tbh as you don’t want it to thin that it pierces the back or you don’t get the right shape. You also get string or ribbon in your pack but make sure to pop a pen end in the top to make a hole for it as I forgot but wasn’t to bothered. You then place your babies/toddlers hand or feet or both if they are tiny and can fit on one clay keepsake😫 then press gently on each finger or toe and then then on to the top of the hand or foot. I stood phoebe up for he foot which made it so much easier. You then leave to dry for 12 hours or over night in the window then turn it over on the other side to let that also dry. They also give you paints so its enterily up to you if you want to paint it in and give it some extra boldness! We painted them pink as her smaller ones where pink clay! We had so much fun we saved one packet to do for her one year birthday!
Thank you so much again.
Next we have Tremo books..
This lovely company reached out to us and I was so chuffed! Basically they turn your instagram photos into a book in minutes! I no right. I was super excited.
I ordered a book of 100 photos and it came in less than 5 days! You can play around with it add text to each photo if you wanted to or you can keep your caption from your actual Instagram post! You can delete ones you don’t want I think the maximum per book was 200! I could of easily done my whole instagram but I stopped myself! It’s such a lovely way of keeping memories specially for me maybe yourselfs as well, but most of my Instagram posts I barely have as actual photos anymore. So this was a lovely keepsake as you can’t get those photos back. It’s so easy to do and super quick you pop your name into the website and it does it all for you. Then all you have to do it delete the ones you don’t want!
Such a lovely idea so glad I got to try it out and show you all!
Thank you
Next we have Bebamour uk..
we kindly got gifted a carrier from this lovely company! They use amazon and they have prime! Which is such a fab extra to have as a company as people want things ASAP or right away when in need of a product and when you have a baby and it’s hard to go out or get out this is such a fab little perk to have!
i have now used the carrier a handful of times and can do a proper review – I’m due to upload to newer photos of it in use but I must get this review done before I don’t have much time.
the carrier is super easy to apply to yourself even on your own. Which is so good because when the husband is at work and I want to pop to the shop I can use it nice and easily on my own without feeling unsafe.
I have back problems and hip and the carrier we had before used to kill my back as it barely had much support don’t get me wrong it did ok for my OH but I hated it. When bebamour sent this one out I fell in love. It had a actual seat for your baby to sit on which takes so much weight off your back! She felt so much lighter and she looked more comfortable. She now faces forward as she’s 10 months old and she’s very nosey. We did try her faceing onwards and she was quite happy. I’m super pleased with this as I can now feel like I can carry my daughter when we go out for days in the zoo, park, farms or Short journeys without being in pain or making the OH carry her the whole time. So I want to thank you for making me feel safe and sercure while carrying me daughter and saving my back!!!
thank you once again.
