Lullabelly: Prenatal Music Belt Giveway

Plug in your MP3 player or iPhone™ and play music to your baby in the womb. Listening to music with your baby in the womb helps reduce stress during your pregnancy, helps with fetal development, and creates a wonderful bonding experience. Plus playing the same music after birth helps your baby sleep better. Read what the experts are saying. (click here)

What is Lullabelly?

Although playing music to a baby in the womb is nothing new, any expectant mother will tell you that stretching a headset across your belly is clumsy, and nearly impossible to safely listen along to the same music while playing it for your baby.

The Lullabelly prenatal music belt can be used whether you’re on the go or just relaxing at home. Lullabelly’s patented hands-free design is easy to use, fun and safe for both expectant mother and baby.

Lullabelly is extremely soft, adjustable, lightweight, machine washable, and very comfortable to wear over clothes or directly against your belly. The large pocket is ideal for carrying your portable MP3 player or other small accessories.

Lullabelly utilizes safe sound level technology; maximum volume level is similar to a mother or father speaking or singing directly to their baby in the womb. For added safety, the Lullabelly speaker has a built-in volume control dial so, when using the dual adapter, mom can separately control the volume of her earphones and the volume of the music playing for her baby.

This innovative company would like to offer one lucky reader their very own Lullabelly!

Morgan's Bed: Cat & Dog Beds for a Good Cause

I have a soft spot for animals. Throughout my childhood, my family owned so many cats and dogs. I am so lucky to now have two kitties of my own that I adore. Our pets have always been more than just animals, they've been loving members of our family.

Morgan's Beds is an Etsy shop that touched my heart. I hope you find it just as sweet as I did.

Morgan is a rare juvenile diabetic kitten, born with bilateral cataracts. Morgan has had cataract surgery at Cornell University, and he continues to deal with his diabetes and other health issues. Morgan has survived and thrived against all the odds and Morgan's Beds was created to pay for his constant medical care.

Each day with Morgan is a special gift. He's an amazing happy go lucky little cat with a zest for life.Morgan's Beds are made with high quality fabrics, and poly fill stuffing. They can be washed in warm water, and put in the dryer on warm.I've been making Morgan's Beds for over 4 years now, and many Catsters and Dogsters have them, and they all love them. They get softer and more comfortable as they are slept in.

Morgan's Beds were also featured on the HDTV website under Pet Projects.

This is Morgan's Webpage. Here is Morgan's Happy Endings page on the Save A Sato website. Morgan is a permanent foster cat from SAS.

Morgan's Beds Also Offers:

• Gift Certificates
• Free Gift Wrapping & Gift Cards and we will ship to the recipient of your choice
• Custom Made Beds

Each Cat Bed comes with a special surprise for it's new owner.

This was a shop I found from Etsy that I wanted to share. No product or other form of compensation was received.

Diggity Kids: Comfort Travel System Giveaway

Diggity Kids is giving booster seats a big boost with their comfort travel system. Keep your child comfortable with their fun and comfortable products.

Diggity Kids offers the first travel system designed entirely for children ages 4 -10 years old. Their mission is simple. Keep kids happy and comfortable.


Riding in a booster seat is the law. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it! Perhaps your child wants to move on to a "big boy/girl seat". Want comfort? Let Diggity Kids help you.

I received all three products in their Comfort Travel System and they're all super.

This family owned business created The Keester after their son complained of "numb bum". Most booster seats have very little padding. With The Keester, your child will be sitting pretty on more than 2 inches of polyurethane foam. Keep that tush cushed!

As you can see in the photo, The Keester has a semi-circular cut out that suspends the tail bone and reduces pressure on your child's sensitive nerves. Not only does this feel good, it looks good too. The nice size makes it very easy to grab and go. This lightweight pad is attractive in all the right ways.

I already have big plans for this during baseball season. Those bleachers...oooh, I'm in pain just thinking about it. This will definitely come in handy for my children.

Worried about dirt? Don't fret. The ultra-soft micro-suede cover is fully removable and machine washable. The handy zipper makes it a breeze to remove.

Speaking of covers - this comes in 14 different colors! We love our leopard print.


The Diggity Kids Neck Pillow is just another great addition to the Comfort Travel System. This helps support necks to avoid stiffness and soreness that accompanies long rides in the car.

No one likes to take a peek at their child only to see a ragdoll in the backseat! This machine washable neck pillow does the trick. Just remove the cover and wash.

Machine sewn & hand stuffed with premium memory foam.

The Diggity Kids Seat Belt Cover adds just the right amount of padding for their shoulder and/or lap belt. This micro-suede cover prevents chaffing.

Before having this, the seat belt would dig into my kids' neck when sleeping. Now they're sitting in comfort thanks to this terrific product.

All Diggity Kids products are made and packaged in the USA only using the highest standards.

Aren't these great?!? One lucky reader will receive The Diggity Kids Comfort Travel System in their choice of color!

MANDATORY ENTRY: To enter this giveaway you must visit their website and tell me the color you would choose. There are 14 choices to choose from!

If not completed, your additional entries will be disqualified from winning.

Gazzu: $25 Gift Certificate Giveaway

Geez, I'm normally drooling over sweet treats here on The Funky Monkey that are edible. However, Gazzu offers some gorgeous hair candy that makes my mouth water. Oh, and not to mention the prices ~ very affordable! You're getting a boutique product at an amazing price.

I've had the wonderful opportunity to review this company in the past and they never fail to disappoint. Each ponytail holder looks better than the last. I am seriously smitten with Gazzu. They are truly my favorite shop on Etsy, and that's saying a lot as Etsy has some fabulous shops!

Just take a look at these unique beauties. Gazzu offers various sizes of ribbon button hair accessories to fit your needs. I particularly like their oversized size ~ 1 1/2” button. They also make beautiful elastic headbands with buttons, too!

I was sent their Oversized Hair Candy - Set of Six Best Sellers or Your Favorites. This is a great way to buy more and save! I was able to choose the styles I loved by browsing through their shop. Wow, what a hard decision! I seriously found way more than six that I just had to have!

Ribbon Ponies are a Gazzu original and exclusive design! These ponytail holders were handcrafted using various ribbons over fabric covered buttons and are securely attached to No-Damage or “Ouchless” Goody Brand hair bands. All Gazzu Hair Candy fabric is interfaced to prevent the shiny silver button from "peek-through"...that wouldn't be so cute.

You have your choice between brown or black elastics.

These ponytail holders are great for kids, too! My daughter looks adorable with these on and everyone constantly asks where she gets them.

And that's not all! Gazzu also offers sweet silk flower accessories and recycled bamboo pendant jewelry for all ages.

I bet you can't wait to get your hands, or should I say hair, on some of these! There is SO much more waiting for you to fall in love with. Now is your chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate from Gazzu.

You may also take 20% OFF your order with the discount code funkymonkey! How generous!

MANDATORY ENTRY: To enter this giveaway you must visit their shop and tell me how you would spend your $25.

If not completed, your additional entries will be disqualified from winning.

Sula: Beautiful Beauty Products

Here is a really cool beauty product that I simply adore. The Paint & Peel nail polish from Sula is an awesome find. Not only is it non-toxic, but to remove, simple peel off. No need for harsh, stinky polish remover!

This product isn't just cool for moms. It's also awesome for kids! My daughter loves this stuff. What a genius idea. This water-based formula dries lightening fast! After a few days, you may need a touch up, but touch ups are quick and easy with this fast drying formula.


The polish doesn't have a scent full of chemicals. I had to put the bottle right up to my nose to smell if there was even a scent there. Normally I'm rushing through a paint job with my nose plugged.

The bottles are smaller in size and come in a trio of fun colors. Choose from these fun sets - Bright, Pastel, Powder and Rich.


Another product I received was their bergamot Organic Shea Butter Balm. This little balm is small in size and really easy to throw in your pocket or purse. Use it on cheeks, lips, feet, face and so on. Pretty much anywhere you want to moisturize and smell nice.

This cute grab-and-go butter balm comes in three scents - Bergamot, Neroli Blossom and Rosa Damascena.

Head on over to Sula to see all of their unique and fresh beauty products.

Creativity for Kids: Shrinky Dinks Craft Kit of Your Choice Giveaway

It's easy to talk about a company you love. Creativity for Kids is one of those companies. I love everything they have to offer.

Kids need to get creative. Enough with the television, video games and computer. Allow them to create some really neat things with the hands on craft kits from this wonderful company.

Creativity for Kids sent me their Shrinky Dinks - I Heart You Cards. My kids and I had a fun time coloring the shrinky dinks and cooking them, with my help of course, in the oven for a few minutes. It was magic. In no time, we had the cutest little colorful charms to add to our lovely cards provided in the kit.

Everything was included - 12 cards, envelopes, ribbon, colored pencils, pencil sharpener, adhesive dots for attaching the finished Shrinky Dink charms and the Shrinky Dinks film. These are going to be so cute for Valentine's Day and to use when my kids want to send a friendly card to someone they care about.


Now it's your chance to win the Shrinky Dinks kit of your choice! Click here to see their selection.

Asher's Chocolates: The Official Chocolate of Everyday Life

Chocolate & I go hand-in-hand. Asher's Chocolate sent me a couple of their delicious products to try and I must say, I was one happy recipient when I opened the box and staring back at me where these scrumptious treats!

I'm particularly fond of chocolate covered pretzels. The sweet and salty combo marry nicely together. Their Assorted Chocolate Smothered Pretzels are wonderful. These crisp pretzels are covered in milk, white and dark chocolate. I loved them all. This 14.4 oz box is great to share with other chocoholics - that's if you don't eat them all yourself first!

Their Keystone Crunch is mighty fine! I loved the flavor, crunch, added pretzels and almonds. Whoo Wee what a mixture! The toffee coating was so sweet and buttery. I loved how it was crunchy and fresh tasting, but it didn't stick to my teeth. It wasn't sticky and gooey like other popcorn mixtures I've had in the past. This ranks right up there with the best!

Head on over to Asher's Chocolates to take 10% OFF your order when you enter FUNKYFUN in the promo code box. Offer good through April 30, 1020.
