SnorgTees offers really humorous tees for women and men. I had a jolly good time searching through their site and was sent three mens tees from this hilarious company. My husband loves them all. Each one looks great on him. He especially loves the fit and comfort. They offer a nice variety of colors and designs.

This giveaway is now closed with 367 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ KarenL!

I am still in awe as I write this review. The 7.0-8.0 mm Pink Freshwater Pearl Necklace that I received from PearlParadise.com is absolutely breathtaking. My first thought was WOW, which was followed by a gasp and finally a huge smile. How can I incorporate this pearl strand into every outfit I own?!? It's gorgeous. If you think it looks fantastic in the photo, think again ladies, this will blow you away.

Here is some information about the necklace taken from their website:

"This pink to peach pearl necklace is composed of 7.0-8.0mm, natural-color freshwater pearls. They are the highest quality freshwater pearls available, with an inner glow that brings out their warm iridescence. These round (AAA) or near-round (AA+) pearls are individually knotted on twin silk and finished with a 14 karat gold clasp."

Here is a little bit about the company:

"Founded in 1996 and brought online in 2000, Pearl Paradise has grown into the world's largest online pearl company, with 2006 sales topping $20 million. With a custom-built, 1,400-cubic-foot vault filled with pearls, we offer a selection of pearls unlike any other pearl seller, online or off. Our commitment to offering prices 80 percent below retail has accelerated our growth."

If you have never owned a real pearl necklace before, I highly recommend this as your first. It came to me in an elegant gift box and I also received a cleaning cloth to take care of such a prized possession. The color is beautiful, the luster is bright and this high quality piece is one you'll fall in love with.

This necklace is $120 on their website. A very affordable price for such a lovely piece of fine jewelry. PearlParadise.com makes the beauty of pearls available and affordable to everyone. I have my eye on their pearl earrings for Valentine's Day. A hint to the hubby is definitely on my to do list!

PearlParadise.com would like to make you one lucky lady! They are offering their 7.0-8.0 mm Pink Freshwater Pearl Necklace to one lucky reader!

Beauty + Quality = {A03} Designs. I received their {Alexis} Clutch and it was dynamite - a true original! I loved the beautiful fabric and sweet satin ribbon. It's a nice sized clutch.

Details Shop

This giveaway is now closed with 144 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Brooke!

When I first came across Details Shop, it was like seeing photo after photo of hair candy! I couldn't take my eyes of them. I can really appreciate a quality handmade piece and their products make me happy. It's the little details that count and this shop knows just that.

I received their I'M LOVED hair clip. Do I need to even say anything?! The photo says it all. It's adorable, sweet and so unique. All of their clips are made with felt, fabric and is stitched by hand. A lot of love goes into these beautiful hair accessories and it shows.

I love the snap clips that are used. It slides right into my daughter's hair and stays put. The clip is sewn right into the clip. No glue is used. She'll be a hit on Valentine's Day this year.

Another precious clip they offer is their Flower Power Baby Clip. I was able to personalize this with the initial of my choice and color selection. I chose their pink/bright pink color combination. It turned out so well and I want to buy one of every color now. These clips are a great alternative to ribbon hair bows. The clip is smaller in size so it's perfect for younger heads.

Pear's Gourmet

This giveaway is now closed with 485 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Jesica!

Pear's Gourmet specializes in gourmet nuts, premium coffees and specialty treats. I received two delicious products from this classic company. One was their Irish Cream Gourmet Coffee. My husband is the coffee drinker here at home and he absolutely loved it. The aroma in the house was heavenly. I'm beginning to think we're going to have to purchase our coffee online from now on! Pear's Gourmet has spoiled my husband! They offer many gourmet varieties. Click here to view.

Another amazing product was their Colossal Cashews - Signature Gift Tin. One word - YUM. The tin is really big, much larger than it seems in the picture, and the cashews are fantastic. The tin holds 24 oz of cashews. I could not stop eating them and apparently Dr. Phil can't either according to their website! I loved that the nuts weren't too salty. They were just right and talk about fresh. These cashews are by far the best I've had and would make an impressive gift.

Pear's Gourmet would like to offer one lucky reader a Colossal Cashew Signature Tin and Gourmet Coffee of your choice! You may also take 15% off your order using the discount code: funkymonkey. Get ready for sheer pleasure!

Sewsephine

Headbands are a great way to add some style to your hair! Sewsephine sent me two of their gorgeous headbands. What makes these headbands stand out from the rest - the feathers of course! Each headband is carefully handmade with great attention to detail. Both of my headbands were beautifully made and came packaged with care.

I love my single and double strand stretch headbands. They also offer hard headbands for those of you who prefer that style. I have already received compliments and people have asked me where I got such a unique creation. Sewsephine's headbands combine fun and elegance. I can dress these up or dress them down. Anything goes with these wonderful pieces.

PlaceTile Designs

I want to reach out and hug Kristin Bowen, the owner and designer of PlaceTile Designs. This company is simply fabulous! It's no wonder Oprah, HGTV and The Food Network (just to name a few) have given them rave reviews. They offer really smart and sophisticated products.

I received their Classic Egg & Dart Large Message Board and Wrought Iron Easel from their Timeless Collection. The ceramic board measures 14" H x 10" and the easel measures 15" tall. It's the perfect size for writing down chores, dates, etc. and comes ready for hanging. Soft pads are also included on the bottom so you can use this board as a serving tray. I cannot express how much I love this! It's chic, gorgeous and a must-have item. I have it sitting on my desk to remind me of all upcoming dates and important reminders.

All of PlaceTile Designs products are unique, beautiful and classy. I can easily see their message board in a restaurant, cafe or business. These would make excellent gifts for any occasion. PlaceTile Designs offers cheese tiles, place tiles, wine stoppers...the list goes on. I now have a new favorite website.

Polliwalks

This giveaway is now closed with 450 comments! Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ SonnyNyte!

Feet never had it this fun! Polliwalks are full of playfulness, functionality and comfort. Just looking at them puts a silly grin on your face. They appeal to children of all ages and parents love them.

Polliwalks sent me a pair of army green Gator clogs for my son. You should have seen the look on his face. He was smiling from ear to ear. Now the hard part will be telling him to wait for spring. He loves wearing flip flops in the summer, but I know these Polliwalks will replace his old favorite. I love them too. They're fun, lightweight and very durable. My son thoroughly enjoys the feel of these shoes. He loved them so much that he asked if they could be his slippers.

These shoes feature an darling Footprinter Bottom (pat. pending) of the animal the shoe represents. Go ahead and leave your mark everywhere you go! Kids will have a blast leaving trails. Watch out moms - your child will be on the lookout for water, mud and sand. No worries - Polliwalks clean up easily. Just throw them into the washing machine, cold cycle and allow to air dry! Wow, I think I hear angels singing.


This environmentally friendly company uses recycled paper and plastic for their packaging and hooks. They also use water based adhesives during manufacturing. Polliwalks offers so many cute styles. I was happily surprised by their wide selection and sizes. Their new Spring line is to die for. Take a look at their new sandals.

Polliwalks would like to offer one lucky reader a pair of Polliwalks. Choose from Gator, Duck, Frog or Ladybug. How nice is that?!

Feather Your Nest

Feather Your Nest is a beautiful company that offers lovely items for your home. I received their Sweetgrass Farms Fragrance Diffuser Sticks in Ripe Melon. Let me tell you, these sticks are wonderful. If you love light fruity scents, this is so right for you. I have tried various fragrance diffuser brands and this one tops them all. The fragrance quickly filled our home and was enjoyed by everyone. It arrived in a very nice clear tube package.

If you're not familiar with fragrance sticks, let me tell you about them. Feather Your Nest's product came with super absorbent natural reeds, essential fragrance oil and and a pretty glass bottle. All I had to do was fill the bottle with the oil, place the sticks inside and voila - done. The reeds quickly soaked up the oil and the sweet fragrance evaporated around the room. It is similar to a candle, but without the flame. This is why we like to use diffusers around our home. It's much safer for the kids. When the reeds begin to dry out, simply turn them upside down and place them back into the bottle. A new wave of fragrance will be released.

Feather Your Nest also offers gorgeous home decor items and bath and body products. They would love to offer you 10% OFF using the discount code: FYN10DISC. Click here to view their website.

I found a great website with a wonderful variety of stationery, gifts and fine books. Peter Pauper Press is very friendly company that offers beautiful, high quality products.

I received their gorgeous Sparkly Garden Thank You Notes. The set included 14 cards and 15 designer envelopes. I was really impressed with the decorative envelopes and the glittery flowers. Very cute! They came printed on high quality card stock and are the perfect card for saying "Thank You" to that someone special.

Another item I received was their Scratch and Sketch book for kids. This is one cool book! There are 20 design and drawing projects inside. A wooden stylus in included for drawing on the black coated paper to reveal the fun colors beneath. There are 64 pages total. They include 20 scratch-off, 20 illustrated and 20 sketch pages. This is fun for adults too! Peter Pauper Press offers so many different varieties of their Scrath and Sketch books. Click here to see their super fun Scratch and Sketch series!

Another neat product is their locking journal. I received their Mod Locking style. My son has not put this down since the moment he laid eyes on it. It's his most prized possession right now! He's really into writing and reading as he is in the first grade. This journal is perfect for him to doodle and write in. My husband and I love writing sweet messages for him in his new journal. He loves it and I think he'll probably start collecting them from Peter Pauper Press.

Constructive Eating

This giveaway is now closed with 213 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Dee!

Getting children to eat without the use of their hands can sometimes be a challenge. Sometimes grown up utensils just don't work well in their smaller sized hands. This is where Constructive Eating comes in handy.

I received their Constructive Eating Utensil Set. It includes one Fork Lift Fork, one Front Loader Spoon and one Bull Dozer Pusher. Cute, right?!? When I saw the set, I was worried about contaminents, but I'm happy to announce that Constructive Eating's utensils contain no paint, lead, BPA, PVC or Phthalates. Only FDA approved materials are used. RIGHT ON! A product that is safe for our children.

My older son really loves the look of these utensils, but it's my daughter that enjoys them the most. This set is great for younger children and would be a perfect way to introduce utensils at an early age. The Bull Dozer Pusher is really helpful and this set is so fun for kids to use. Just look at it. What kid wouldn't get excited about using them?!

Constructive Eating would like to offer one lucky reader a Constructive Eating Utensil Set!

Apple Blossom Designs

This giveaway is now closed with 223 entries. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Ellen C.!

Apple Blossom Designs specializes in lovely handmade jewelry and accessories. I received their beautiful Turquoise Pixietail Hairbobs that were created especially for me. They are really dainty, sweet and look great in my daughter's pigtails. She loves the color and I love their simple elegance. The elastics are smaller in size and good for younger children.



Apple Blossom Designs creates really beautiful key chains, book thongs and magnets as well. All of their pieces are one-of-a-kind and very well made. My hairbobs came wrapped in a cute little handmade pillow box and tied with ribbon. It would make a great gift.

I received their Megamix 1250 Piece Set from Manhattan Toy. It's huge and my kids love it! The pieces are flexible and come in 12 beautiful vibrant colors. There are building instructions included and more than enough pieces to create a ton of things. This toy is definitely for ages 6 and up. The pieces are small and do pose a choking hazard. It comes in a nice carrying container and we are all really enjoying this unique toy. It's definitely a nice change from the traditional hard plastic building pieces.

Savespro has done it again - this time with their fantastic sporting good products. Here's something perfect for the fisherman in your life.

I received their Redington Clark Fork Mesh Gear Vest. I have to tell you that my husband loves it. It is well made, comfortable and has all the features he looks for in a quality vest. The fabric dries quickly and and the mesh portion allows him to move easily and provides great ventilation. The multiple pockets are a handy feature and will hold all of his lures nicely. It is priced wonderfully at just $29.95.

Here are some features of the vest:

• 100% polyester quick-dry mesh vest with a practical pocket layout.
• Knitted, lightly padded collar for comfort.
• 9 external zip/Velcro closed external pockets
• Fleece fly keeper. 3 interior pockets with zipper closure.
• Large rear-zip closed storage pocket.

Another product I had the chance to review was their Grip 9 pc Fisherman's Tool Kit by Grip-On-Tools. This is a fabulous kit that every fisherman needs. The hard plastic case is durable and includes 3 knives, scissors, gloves, a cutting board, a knife sharpener and a hanging fish weigher. My husband and I really love the fact that it's so convenient and all of the tools you need are right there and well organized. The knives are extremely sharp and it is a very well constructed product. This will definitely come in handy. This list price for this kit is $49.99. Savespro's price is only $21.99. You save $28.00 - a savings of 56%!

Savespro offers a wide range of Sporting Goods. Click here to see all of their Sporting Goods categories. I am blown away by their selection. This company has it all. They offer superb customer service and they ship extremely fast. My items arrived in no time. Every product that I have had the pleasure of reviewing has been nothing but top quality.
