What is a Pley Disney Princess Subscription Box?

You receive a box every 2 months that contains 4-8 official Disney Princess toys, activities and fashion accessories. Items are all different and each box is themed around 1 specific princess. My 9 year old daughter received “Brave” themed box this month! Each box is $24.99 plus $5 shipping and is delivered right to your door. The more boxes you purchase, the more money you save!

This box included 4 Brave themed items, and instruction/activity book and the box can be turned into Bow and Arrow Crest Stand!

She received an adorable Disney Brave t-shirt in her size with Merida on it shooting her bow and arrow, a really cute Disney Princess themed lunch container for her school lunch and also a cute pencil pouch with Merida on it. The box was super fun for her to turn into the Bow and Arrow Crest Stand. Each piece she can color so it did entertain her for awhile.

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!

All of the blankets are backed by Collage.com‘s Just Right 100% satisfaction guarantee: If a customer doesn’t like his or her order, they make it right or refund money.
New customers also get 60% off their first order. There’s a banner in the top left corner of the page where new customers can get the 60% off discount on their very first order.

A great thing about these blankets is that each one of them is machine washable! No need to take to a dry cleaner!
