Since 2005, they’ve built their reputation on devoting  their efforts to curating a gallery of art by award-winning illustrators, old masters, up-and-coming artists and charitable organizations. A portion of each skin, case or print sold goes directly to the creator, helping to support and promote independent artists everywhere. From their headquarters in Toronto, they’re fostering global creativity.

Express your individual style and customize your digital devices with interchangeable, protective art prints that go anywhere. GelaSkins has made it possible for you to be the artist and design your own. Make something one-of-a-kind, just like you. From scratch-resistant skins for any device, to the sturdy HardCase for iPhone, GelaSkins has got you covered.

I recently connected with GelaSkins  and had the opportunity to pick something from their site to review.  I choose the 17″ Supernova Remnant Cassiopeia A laptop skin from National Geographic for my husband’s laptop. This super thin skin provides  ultimate scratch protection.  It was so easy to apply and will remove easily too, leaving no residue behind.  It took us literally 20 seconds to peel and apply this to the laptop.  The colors are so vibrant and it is an easy way to give a boring laptop an exciting new look.  Besides being nice to look at, it protects the laptop from scratches which is a big plus.  GelaSkins  has a huge selection of skins from tons of artists, or you can design your own for a unique one of a kind skin.  If you are looking for an easy way to personalize your laptop and make it stand out, you need to take a look at GelaSkins  as you are sure to find a lot of inspiration.

I have great news; GelaSkins is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  Two lucky blog readers are each going to win a $25 gift code to use on any GelaSkins purchase.  Thank you GelaSkins for this great review skin and for sponsoring this awesome giveaway on Mommy Rambling!!!  Open to US residents.

We received this DVD for review and when my little guys saw it, their eyes lit up.  They love the Chuck trucks and have almost all of them.  It was a real treat for them to see them come to life on TV.  They watched with their eyes glued to the screen calling out the trucks they had.  Game On and Vertie’s Stunt School were favorite episodes but they thoroughly enjoyed the whole DVD and quickly started playing with their Chuck series trucks and acting out the episodes they had just watched. If you have Chuck fans in your house, you should think about getting them this DVD, because it is more than a truckload of fun!

Factory are sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their own copy of The Adventures of Chuck & Friends: Friends To The Finish on DVD.  Thank you to them for the review copy and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.
