Freebies from the Crib: Tender Cargo
It's the holidays so we are rolling out the freebie's big time. This next one in November comes from a previous freebie-giver as well as a bloggernacle regular, cchrissyy. You may remember some of the details of this natural born momtrepreneur, but just to catch everyone up, cchrissyy opened her online store, Tender Cargo, after working to put her husband through school (using ebay sales a half.com bookstore and secret shopping) and at the same time having three children very close together. With her previous experience in online business and a whole lot of first-hand baby product knowledge, Tender Cargo was born--a web-based store selling pregnancy, baby, and child related products.
What I think sets Tender Cargo apart from the millions of other online baby boutique is not only do you get a store filled with interesting, hand-picked, and high-quality products, the store is also fulled with loads of good information about the products straight from cchrissyy--a mother herself. Most orders are also shipped same day and if you have any problems or questions, you can reach a real live person (cchrissyy) immediately by calling their 1-800 number. I love good customer service.
And with all the crazy toy recalls, toy shopping this Christmas has become a little more thought provoking this year. Cchrissyy's passion for high-quality, safe and natural toys began before opening her store and has continued to grow. Just browsing through the Tender Cargo's beautiful and thoughtful toy selection makes you want to breathe a huge sigh of relief. The organic cotton dolls and the new line of toys from earth friendly Plan Toys are wonderfully classic, educational and have been held to the highest safety standards. Cchrissyy wrote a great post sharing her take on the toy recalls. You can read her thoughts here.
The winner of cchrissyy's generous "it's good to have friends" November freebie will receive a $25 gift certificate to Tender Cargo. The winner's "friend" will also receive $25 gift certificate to Tender Cargo. So make your comment then tell all your friends (with the condition that you are their "friend" if they win, of course) . Then start thinking about what you would spend your winnings on. How about this awesome Pikkolo baby carrier that rivals in design and practicality the infamous Baby Bjorn? Or this great no-rinse cleanser product with an even greater name: Momspit - which was apparently "inspired by the original”? Or how about Diapees and Wipees, a great baby shower gift? Or the super affordable MobyWrap? Or you might just have to go with a toy, after all it is the Christmas season. I love the breakfast set and Noah's Ark.
And to all Tales readers cchrissyy is also offering free shipping on the following products categories (until 12/2):
-Zolowear Slings
-Under the Nile organic clothing
-Pediped shoes and the Pedoodles boots
Just enter the coupon code "talescrib" at checkout.
(free shipping is USPS 1st class domestic or international, or UPS ground)
How to win this Freebie:
-You have until Friday(11/30), midnight EST to enter.

-Please don't post under Anonymous - use a Blogger login or the "other" category.
-Winner will be randomly picked and announced Saturday(12/1) morning.
