Freebies from the Crib: Snug-a-Bug
Two freebies in November? That's right! If you have been with us for a while, you might remember our first ever freebie, one year ago, came from Snug-a-Bug, a company recently started by our very own contributors, Krista and Melissa. Well the weather is turning cold and they are back again offering a fabulous freebie to the Tales readers.
For those who missed it the first time around, the company started from just a small idea born from a mother's battle to make sure her baby was warm enough (but not sweating under all the layers) during their outdoor adventures through the cold NYC winter.
A few years (and a couple of new babies) later, these two moms have turned that small idea into a company with an innovative product that solves this very problem by providing warmth without the bulk. The hi-tech fabric (a fabric with wicking capabilities) used to make their "Warmsie set" makes them so very practical for cold winters everywhere completely solving the bulk issues associated with winter "strollering" and walking with bundled baby in a carrier.
For suburban moms, the "Warmsie" makes strapping into the carseat during the winter so much easier for mom, and much more comfortable for baby. And the styling of the "Warmsies" makes them so cute it would be a shame to consider them just "underwear". For more about how to wear the "Warmsie" (and to see great pictures of adorable children wearing the "Warmsie"), check out their website.
The winner of this Freebie will receive a "Warmsie" set (a $40 value) in their choice of color and size (0-4 months through 3T) and just in time for winter!
If you are planning to be outside with your little one at all during the chilly winter, your warmsie will be put to good use.
If you don't live in a place that has what my husband calls a "real winter" (he's not bitter at all about living in So CA), check out the "Warmsie" made in a lighterweight fabric which is great for cool (not just cold) weather and pass this along to friends and family who enjoy the wintery outdoors!
Oh, and just to give you a heads up, if you don't win the freebie, all Tales readers can get FREE SHIPPING on their Snug-a-Bug order through November 25th! Just enter the code: TALES into the comment box at checkout and the shipping cost will be refunded back to you.
Now make your comment!
****P.S. If anyone knows "Belle", the winner of our last Freebie from Sign Babies, please let her know that she needs to contact us, and quick (by this weekend) or else we will have to pick a new winner. In the history of Freebies from the Crib, we have never had a non-responsive winner before. Hopefully she is just taking time away from the computer to do other productive things with life instead of ignoring us! *****
How to win this Freebie:
-You have until Friday(11/16), midnight EST to enter.
-Make a comment (any comment) on the post
-Please don't post under Anonymous - use a Blogger login or the "other" category.
-Winner will be randomly picked and announced Saturday(11/17) morning.

we loved the warmsie last year and now that the kiddo is mobile we can't even make it through the day without at least getting outside once! Help us make it through another winter in Boston!

My little one is still squeezing into last years - she desperately needs a new one and I was just about to order - maybe it's my lucky day!!
