Beautiful Photo Blankets from Collage.com (Review and Giveaway)

September 29, 2017 By Marijean

The holidays are approaching quickly, now is the time to start thinking of gifts for friends and family. Sometimes it is not easy to think of gifts for loved ones. You aren’t sure if they have something you are thinking of, but you don’t just want to give a gift card. I was contacted by Collage.com to review two of their customizable photo blankets. These would definitely make great gifts!

Collage.com offers a variety of photo blankets to choose from. They offer: Fleece, Sherpa, Printed Woven, Plush Fleece, Plush Sherpa and Woven Image. The sizes of the blankets depend on which blanket style you choose. I chose to review the Printed Woven blanket and the Woven Image blanket.

The ordering process was super easy. I chose the biggest size available (60×80) for both blankets because I knew I would be using one on my couch and one on my bed. You can add as many photos you want to the blanket and rearrange the photos to show exactly where you want them on the blanket. you can upload photos right from your computer, Facebook and Instagram. You can add backgrounds, stickers effects and text. Possibilities are endless!

I chose the Printed Woven with lots of family pictures. For my second blanket, I chose the Woven Image with one large photo. I am so excited how both of them turned out. Each blanket arrived in a clear carry case great for storage or travel. The blankets are super soft and they feel very heavy-duty. I love the large size of the blankets and each photo pops with color. The photos look absolutely perfect on the blanket.

In conclusion, I am very happy and impressed with the quality of these blankets from Collage.com. I believe they are 100% worth the price, and I love how you can customize them any way you wish. These blankets would make great holiday gifts, wedding gifts, Anniversary gifts and birthday gifts!

Back To School Labeling Made Easy With Labels From Label Daddy

August 24, 2017 By Marijean

Both of my kids are in elementary school. Their things can get lost such as hats, jackets, water bottles and lunch boxes during the year . I hate writing their names in permanent marker on the items, so I have wanted to try labels instead for awhile now. I was able to review a set of labels from Label Daddy.

Label Daddy offers peel and stick labels for school items, camp items and household items. They are water resistant and UV resistant.

Get ready for school and save 25% on Label Daddy peel and stick custom name labels! Label Daddy is the number one solution for labeling your belongings! No ironing or sewing . . . just peel and stick. Their exclusive laminated coating gives labels an extra layer of protection and is a must for school!

These convenient labels are great for adults too! — Put them on your sunglass/eyeglass case, phone, camera, sports equipment, tablet, e-reader, hats, clothing, and more.

These labels are super durable peel-and-stick washable labels — they’re washer/dryer safe, microwave safe, dishwasher safe and UV resistant! Label Daddy labels are also fun and attractive. You design your own labels! Pick from tons of colors, sizes and logos, including professional sports team logos (NBA, MLB, NHL), classic clip art icons, Emojis, kids’ icons (princesses, trucks, and monsters), and more.

I chose to review the Small All Purpose Labels. You receive 80 labels for only $20. I also chose to laminate for an additional $5 for added protection. These labels are the perfect size in my opinion for water bottles and lunch items such as containers. The website is extremely easy to work with, my son was able to easily pick out the color, font and image on the labels. My son chose a cute emoji theme! I love the variety of colors, images and fonts they have to offer. These labels work great in the wash too, just peel and stick to your child’s clothing and it does not come off in the wash or in the dryer.

My label order came in a ziplock type bag that has instructions printed right on the bag along with a 10% off code to re-order. It also came with a helpful hints sheet which tells you how to apply them, washing them, important details and return policy. I applied the labels to my son’s snack boxes and his water bottle. He absolutely loves them! I also tested out how well they hold up to the dishwasher, no problems at all and they still look great after 4 dishwasher washings. I am confident these labels will stay on the containers and water bottle with no issues. You can also apply these labels to clothing items. They stay on even when you wash the clothes. These are great for all school supplies, toys, clothing, and even things around the house.

I highly recommend trying out these labels. They are high quality and now you don’t have to worry about writing names in markers and/or losing the items and never finding them. You will love these labels and so will your children!

Your Child will Love LightHeaded Beds by Lifetime (Review and Giveaway)

August 21, 2017 By Marijean

I have a 6-year-old son, and lately he has been going through a phase of needing is light on to go to sleep. He can’t fall asleep unless the tv is on a timer or I leave the hall light on. The problem with this is I usually always forget to turn off the hall light when I fall asleep, and end up waking up in the middle of the night to do so. i was contacted by company LIFETIME with their really cool product called LightHeaded Beds.

I was SO excited to review one of their beds because I knew Anthony would love falling asleep to a cool image that lights up! Let me tell you all about this bed!

HOW IT WORKS

One Bed, Endless Possibilities.

Kids grow up fast and their interests are always changing. Their dreams and interests change from damsels and dragons to pop stars and sports idols.

With a LightHeaded Beds, kids will never outgrow their dreams. The soothing, warm glow of the backlit headboard, with its interchangeable HeadLightz graphic, makes bedtime a fun time. And as your children discover new interests, LightHeaded offers them countless options to match their endless imagination.

It’s easy to get started… just choose from thousands of unique images from our online gallery or use your own photos and artwork, and your LightHeaded bed will grow and change along with your child’s dreams.

Light It Up, Dim It Down.

Getting children ready for bed can be a major challenge. Some kids just want to stay up late and read. Others are afraid of the dark. LightHeaded Beds put you in charge of bedtime: a remote control dimmer and timer lets parents set the brightness and the duration of the light, to help kids feel even more comfortable in a bed they can really call their own.

So, what makes this bed so different from other bed models? This one is unique! This bed comes with a backlit headboard that you can use interchangeable graphics and images. Is your child afraid of the dark? Does you child want to sleep with a nightlight or closet light on? Good news, they can fall asleep in their very own bed that has a light! This bed comes with a remote control dinner with timer, and you can set how bright you want the light to be, and how long you want it on for. Just put your child to sleep, turn on the light and you are all set.The light is an LED light and plugs right into the wall outlet. No need to worry about batteries.

I was able to review a full size Canterbury Model with choice of Image. There are 3 finishes to choose from (black, white and brown chestnut) I chose the chestnut since it would match my sons furniture he has. You can also choose to add a trundle option for an additional cost. It didn’t take long for me to get the bed once it was ordered, about 4 days. It came in 2 large boxes, and took my husband a few hours to assemble. All you need to assemble is a screw driver. All of the other pieces are included.

One cool feature about this bed is that you can use it with a box spring or without, and no tools are needed to adjust height. I was happy to hear this since I just purchased my son a brand new mattress and box spring.

This bed comes with a graphic included, the one I received was a Dolphin image. I also ordered my son a custom image. It’s a red spider webs background with his name on it. He really loves it!! There are so many possibilities and options of different graphics. You can even customize your own with your own photos! They are super easy to slide in and out of the headboard, and even the footboard has a storage compartment for your extra ones! You will never lose them. Since your bed will arrive will arrive with a graphic the company chooses, you can take your time to browse the site for the perfect Image to order afterwords. Your bed will also come with a $20 gift coupon towards any Image purchase! There are so many varieties of images, and you can even custom make your own with your own pictures!

In conclusion, My son and I absolutely love LightHeaded Beds! This is such a great concept and will really help with children having fears of the dark. I love how you can purchase different images and even customize them. This is perfect since as your child gets older, he/she will end up liking different things and may not always like the original image you purchased.
