Wilton: Awesome Brownie Supplies Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed with 535 comments! Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Cassie M!

If you're like me and enjoy baking, Wilton has it all! I received terrific products from this company and I highly recommend what they have to offer. You'll be amazed at their selection.

I received their 12 cup Excelle Elite® Non-Stick Muffin Pan. It's by far the nicest pan I've baked muffins in and I really love the quality. Clean up is a breeze and my muffins and cupcakes come out dynamite each time.

Here is more about it from their website:

Superior non-stick performance, serving convenience and elegant design--you get it all with Excelle Elite®. Its reinforced coating on durable steel makes food release and cleanup exceptionally easy. One-piece construction includes oversized extended handles for safe lifting of each pan. We're so confident of your baking satisfaction, we've backed Excelle Elite® with a 10 year warranty.

Brownies have to be my all time favorite sweet treat! When I saw that Wilton carries some wonderful products for brownie lovers, I just knew I had to test them out.

Their 9 in Square Covered Brownie Pan is the best. I was thrilled to see a pan with a removable lid. I always make my brownies in a 9 inch pan so it was perfect for our family. It cooks evenly and is by far my favorite product of the bunch.

Perfect for taking homemade brownies to the party! Ideal size for most standard brownie mixes. 2105-9199 9 x 9 x 2 in.

Cookies are definitely a hit with my children. Their Cookie Spatula works like a charm. I love that it's not made from plastic. Who knows what chemicals leach into our foods from my old utensil.

Angled blade moves cookies from pan to plate with ease. Great for brownies and bar cookies too. Non-slip handle, durable, easy to clean stainless steel blade. Dishwasher safe.

Cutting brownies has never been so easy! Their Perfect Cut Brownie Cutter makes perfect cuts every time! My brownies look like they came out of a bakery.

Stainless steel tines cut brownies easily with no messy edges. After removing brownie from the oven, use cutter to pre-cut your brownies. When completely cool, cut with a knife for a perfect, clean edge. 4.9 x 3.75 in.

Want to add some fun to your brownies? The Brownie & Treat Cutter turns edges into art! I've used this on our brownies and on sandwiches. My kids love the decorative edges this cutter provides and so do I.

Zigzag blade cuts fun decorative edges. Works great for sandwiches, pizza, cereal treats and more. 4.9 x 3.75 in.

Wilton would like to offer one lucky reader a wonderful assortment of brownie supplies! You will receive their Brownie Fun book. Oh boy, this is FULL of creative and fun ideas!

Plus a 12 Piece Brownie Decorating Set.

That's not all...You'll also receive their delicious Brownie Fudge Icing AND the 9 inch covered brownie pan that I mentioned above!

Pumpin' Pal: Dedicated to the support of today's breastfeeding moms

Pumpin' Pal International (PPI) is dedicated to improving the breast pumping experience by making it as comfortable and productive as possible with Pumpin' Pal accessories for pumping moms. The reality for today's mom is that pumping plays a major role in nursing. Our theory is that if our products can make the process of breast pumping more productive and enjoyable, mothers will breast feed much longer, benefiting both mother and baby.

With the combination of the Pumpin' Pal angled breast shields, "Super Shields Plus", and the Pumpin' Pal "Original Hands-Free Strap", breast pumping has never been more comfortable. Mothers can avoid having to 'lean forward' and can now sit back in a comfortable position, relaxing their arms rather than holding bottles. The Pumpin' Pal mesh "Air-Dry Accessory Bag" is perfect for drying freshly-washed pump parts - keeping them together discretely and attractively.

We hope you use this site to educate yourself as we have added several pages of information aimed at new mothers to help them through these challenging and sometimes trying times. Breast pumping can be confusing and awkward in the beginning - PPI is here to help.

Adjust the length and width one time for your individual body, and it will be ready time and time again in an instant without any further adjustment.

More about the Rosie Bib and Gift Set from their website:

She certainly keeps you on your toes, doesn’t she? It seems that just moments after she learns to walk, she starts to dance. Nearly every little girl wants to be a ballerina. For your dancing princess, why bother with ballet slippers when she will just kick them off anyway? Opt for a bib that’s as useful as it is cute. When she wears it to her big sister’s dance recital, she’ll be the one that attracts all the attention!

Our most popular bib, this Hattie Rose Designs Original® Rosie Ballerina Bib is ideal for any baby girl. Add our matching Burp Cloth and cuddly soft Teddy Bear and it makes the perfect gift set. Our Rosie Bib has a tulle tutu trimmed with pink grosgrain ribbon. The burp cloth is designed for either shoulder and fits comfortably around Mommy's neck. Rosie teddy bear measures approximately 8 inches tall and comes with a matching pink bow.

Also available as a Twins Gift Set.

Another adorable style from Hattie Rose Designs is their St. Pete Toddler Dinnertime Apron.

Like our very popular baby bib, our St. Pete Toddler Dinnertime Apron is a classic light blue dress shirt with navy plaid tie. This Apron Bib, unlike most bibs, covers from his neck to his lap, keeping messes on the bib instead of on his shirt and pants. Add on our snuggly soft matching St. Pete Teddy Bear (approx. 8” tall) for a gift he'll love!

Do you want him to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company by age 30?

Delightful Designs by Robbon: Lovely Lampwork Jewelry

I'm sure you have all known someone who has experienced breast cancer in some way. Little tokens of love like the bracelet you see below really touch my heart. The name of this bracelet is Celebrate Life and what a celebration it should be. I love the look of this design that was handmade with love.

Here is more about Delightful Designs by Robbon:

Creating lampwork beads and designing jewelry is a passion for me. It started quite a few years ago in Berea, Kentucky. I watched a woman make lampwork beads and was completely fascinated by the process. I always wanted to pursue it, but didn't do it at the time. A few years later I saw my friend's lampwork jewelry designs online. This inspired me and brought back the memory of the woman I had seen previously. I immediately purchased a few rods of glass and a small torch and jumped right in. That was the beginning and I haven't stopped since. I pursue this passion in my free time since I work from home and am the mother of two little girls.I take pride in my work and each piece is uniquely designed. I will never sell a piece that I am not satisfied with and happy to sell to you.Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have by using the Contact Me page.

Here is more about this beautiful bracelet:

Breast cancer affects so many women around us and I felt compelled to make a bracelet to show support for all of the women who have fought breast cancer and are currently fighting the horrible disease. This bracelet is named Celebrate Life because those who have survived breast cancer say that they look at life differently and enjoy each day in a brand new way. Whether you are a survivor yourself, know someone who is fighting breast cancer, or know someone who has fought breast cancer, this unique bracelet is a wonderful item to have to show support.

This bracelet is done in lovely shades of pink with two of the lampwork beads with the breast cancer awareness ribbon on them. This bracelet has Swarovski crystals, rose Quartz beads along with my lampwork beads. Near the toggle I placed a cancer awareness ribbon charm.

Another beautiful bracelet from their collection is Conspicuous.

Read more about it from their website:

This wonderful bracelet is created with Turquoise beads, zebra lampwork beads, two quirky turquoise colored lampwork beads, Onyx and sterling silver beads. I couldn't resist when I saw the pieces start to fall together on the table in front of me. This piece is fabulous! This bracelet grabs attention and thus it's name. It is not TOO over-the-top crazy, so you can wear it with a lot.

The toggle is a hammered sterling silver one and I added a simple dangle to give it just a little jingle when worn.

The jewelry from Delightful Designs by Robbon would make great gifts. You may take 10% OFF any order over $10.00 with the discount code: funkymonkey

The Nappy Bucket: Modern Cloth Nappies for Modern Day Families

Here is more about The Nappy Bucket from their website:

Welcome to The Nappy Bucket and the world of modern cloth nappies, where we have a 'bucket full of goodies for you and your little ones’.

Your baby will be the envy of all in our gorgeous nappies. Modern Cloth Nappies are not just practical, better for the environment and cheaper in the long term, but with their great colours and materials they make a fashion statement. Search through our site for useful information about the advantages of using modern cloth nappies, browse through our catalogue to find the perfect nappy for you and your baby, and don't forget to look at the many other pregnancy and baby-related goodies we have on offer.

The FuzziBunz® One-Size nappies are the most adjustable and innovative one-size cloth diapers on the market today! These fantastic nappies are adjustable through adjustable elastic, NOT snap downs on the front of the nappy like most one size nappies on the market today. All you have to do is adjust the nappies to fit babies 3.2 - 16 kgs and get a snug fit every time with the button-adjusted waist and leg casings. Similar to adjustable waistbands for children and maternity wear, the waist and legs have been made customisable through a button / elastic adjustment system. So instead of 3 length settings, you can set up to 8+ sizes and instead of NO waist settings, you have up to 4+. So you have a SUPER adjustable nappy without an excess of snaps. It may take a bit of "adjusting" to get to the right size, but when you find the right fit, you set it and forget it.

More stock is arriving at the end of September. They will have a wide range of colors and prints. Place your preorders now!

These fantastic sized pocket nappies from FuzziBunz® provide you with trim fitting, highly adjustable diapers that fit snugly without the added bulk a one size nappy may have. So if super great fit and “stuff and go” convenience is important to you – then these are the perfect nappy for you.

This award-winning pocket nappy is made with sturdy snap closures, which are made to last and require absolutely no maintenance. FuzziBunz® nappies have no Velcro, so they won't fray, collect lint or snag your baby's clothes.

COMES WITH ONE SUPER ABSORBENT MICROFIBER INSERT.

Added features include:

Provence Gifts: Fashionably Hip Stationery & Gifts

Read more about the fabulous company, Provence Gifts:

Provence Gifts was established in September 2001 after I took a leave of absence from my job as a flight attendant. I wanted a business that would fit my lifestyle and still permit me to be a big part of my boys’ lives by attending their school activities and sporting events. Before my career with the airlines, I had studied fashion merchandising and planned on becoming a buyer in the high-end fashion industry. I always loved the world of fashion so it was a logical choice to create a business specializing in stylish jewelry and accessories, trendy handbags, personalized stationery, and unique gifts.

I started selling my products at local businesses, schools and gift shows. My instant success in this area prompted me to open my online boutique. My twenty-year career as a flight attendant helped me develop an eye for distinctive gifts. I often used my layover time to scout out the trendy and the one-of-a-kind gifts that would appeal to my customers.

My new Exclusively For You line includes personalized note pads, note cards, and checkbook covers that I design myself. This collection is an ideal gift for birthdays, holidays and special occasions.

At Provence Gifts, we know you're looking for a gift that stands out among all others and is as unique as you are! We work with many artists and designers to bring you a large selection of fine gifts all in one place. We hope you enjoy presenting these gifts as much as we enjoy creating them for you. Please feel free to contact us for assistance in choosing “just the right gift” for all the people on your gift-giving list.

Tropical Scents Hawaii: 4 winners will receive the item of their choice Giveaway!

This giveaway is now closed with 232 comments. Congratulations to the 4 lucky winners ~ Pamela, kngmckeller, ColleenMarie82 & GabbieLowe!

Here is more about Tropical Scents Hawaii from their Etsy shop:

Hawaii is a beautiful and wonderful paradise filled with many lovely scents such as white ginger, tuberose, pikake, passion fruits, flower leis, etc. I thought to myself, wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to smell like these wonderful tropical scents everyday? In my quest to find products in the scents I want, I decided to come up with my own.

I have two types of deodorants. Both types contain no aluminum to clog pores to stop perspiration. One of the base of these deodorants consist of a vegetable protein and other ingredients that neutralize odors. I personally use these everyday and love them because they go on clear and leave no traces on clothing. The other base is an all natural base that uses essential oils to fight odor. These contain no unnatural chemicals in the base.

I have made them in two different sizes so that you can keep them in your purse to always keep fresh or try it out before you buy the full size product. Please be sure to read the ingredients of the deodorants before making a purchase to make sure of sensitivities.

All mini and purse size deodorants are shrink wrapped for your protection and the full size tubes come with a protective cap over the product.

Hawaiian Plumeria Vegetable Protein Deodorant Stick 2.4 oz.

The smell of these flowers are terrific and remind me of wearing a fresh lei of plumeria! That is a common smell especially when you just get off of the plane upon arriving in Hawaii. It is a favorite flower used in many leis here. Really, this fragrance smells exactly like those lei flowers since the fragrance is made from plumerias grown right here in the islands. I used Alohatherapy oils which contain no petroleum distillates or synthetic chemicals to scent this stick. You will be getting a full sized deodorant with 2.4 oz by weight of this veggie protein stick deodorant.

Ingredients: Propylene Glycol, De-Ionized Water, Sodium Stearate, Vegetable Protein, PEG-200/Hydroginated Castor Oil, Isosteareth-2, Salicylic Acid, Steareth-100 Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (Chamomile), Aloe Barbadensis ( Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, EDTA, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate

Hawaiian Pineapple Vegetable Protein Deodorant Full Size 2.4 oz.

I love the sweet smell of a ripe pineapple and this deodorant reflects that scent. You will be getting a full sized deodorant with 2.4 oz by weight of this veggie protein stick deodorant.

Ingredients: Propylene Glycol, De-Ionized Water, Sodium Stearate, Vegetable Protein, PEG-200/Hydroginated Castor Oil, Isosteareth-2, Salicylic Acid, Steareth-100 Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (Chamomile), Aloe Barbadensis ( Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, EDTA, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
