Magic Cabin, Rubens Barn, Little Rubens Party Collection Dolls Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Magic-Cabin-Logo

I love dolls, I always have. Growing up with a mother who loved dolls and finally had a girl who loved dolls as much as her, I was showered with dolls.  At Christmas there would be so many dolls awaiting me and I was probably one of the only kids who had a mom suggest they get a Madame Alexander baby doll in the Walt Disney World gift shop rather than the typical stuffed Minnie.

I was very much the same with my daughter and relished buying her dolls of all kinds.  Last Summer I was so impressed with Emil, a large Rubens Barn Original Doll that I could not wait to get another Rubens Barn cutie in my arms.  Well, that opportunity arrived and Little Meiya may be smaller than the Original dolls but she is tipping the cuteness scales! She has a full head of that signature downy soft black hair and a darling headband with large bow.

Little Meiya Rubens Barn Doll

Her adorable bubble romper is done in a bright cupcake fabric with a top in bright pink with white polka dots that matches the polka dot band of her headband.  Her sweet little toes peek out and her big brown eyes beg you to give her a hug.  She has a weighted bottom so she is quite substantial and able to sit without toppling over.  In the Little Rubens Party Collection you will find Meiya and many friends who would just love to come home with you.

Rubens Barn Dolls are machine washable so they can join your child on their daily adventures.   I warn you though, these dolls are addicting and you can’t have just one, which has me thinking about who should be next to join our family : ). Mommy Ramblings loves Rubens Barn Dolls so much she is adding them to our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide!

All have the signature sparkly embroidered eyes, sweet pixie face, and weighted bottoms that make them feel much like a real baby when held. Their bodies are made from the softest fleece so that every hug is warm and comforting.

Glider Gloves, Touch Screen Friendly Winter Gloves Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Glider Gloves Logo

If you live in a cold climate and you have a smart phone, you will need touchscreen friendly gloves or you could get used to frostbite.  Glider Gloves have a dual insulation layer, brushed interior and full conductivity.  With Glider Gloves you can use your smart phone easily and still have warm hands.  I recently tried these as we had a cold snap in New York and my iPhone responded perfectly when I used it wearing the gloves.  Glider Gloves are conductive all over not just the finger tips so you can answer your phone with a knuckle which comes in handy when you have your hands full. Glider Gloves will also help you get a good grip on your phone as they have an innovative Anti-Slip Grip feature.  Speaking of innovation, the tag inside the glove is made from microfiber so you can use it to wipe clean your screen!

Glider Gloves was started by a small group of young entrepreneurs with one great idea. The Glider Gloves product was a basement start-up project with the original purpose of personal use only.  In 2011, the product gained much attention in the retail world and was being sold in hundreds of mobile and sporting goods stores across Canada, US and parts of Europe. Now entering their 4th year in business, Glider Gloves are sold and distributed in retail stores globally.

KinderGlo LED Night Light Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Kinderglo-Logo

The KinderGlo is a fully rechargeable, fully portable LED night light designed for kids to cuddle and carry to get them peacefully through the night. Bright enough to see by but soft enough the sleep by, the KinderGlo is a favorite for parents and kids alike. Their small, soothing pals will ease even the most fretful kids into  a good night’s sleep and will soon become a part of the daily bedtime routine.

KinderGlo Night Lights are:

Portable

  • Rechargeable–no money wasted replacing batteries!
  • Easy for little hands to hold and carry
  • Last for 8-10 hours of soft, soothing light so kids an keep their buddies in bed with them all night

Safe

  • Powered with LED lights that are never hot to the touch
  • Automatically power on if knocked from the charging base or if charging during a power outage
  • Made with phthalate, BPA & lead free materials

Fun (and easy to use!)

  • Choose from a variety of cute, comforting characters
  • Simple for kids to use all by themselves
  • Single button allows you to choose between auto-off after 30 minutes or continuous lighting. You can also choose between:

Continuously changing color cycle

 

 

Or, for those who prefer solid colors

 

just red…  just blue…  just green… 
 

My kids are a little bit strange, where most kids are afraid of monsters and things that go bump in the night, mine laugh at talk of Boogey Men and Scary Hairy Monsters.  When I asked my four-year old to pick what night light he wanted from KinderGlo he choose the Tyrannosaurus Rex Night Light.  He said he loved how it looked scary with its sharp teeth. He told me he wanted to wake up and see those sharp teeth staring back at him.  What a funny kid!  He was so happy when it arrived and could not wait to see it in person.  He loves it! We put it in his room that night and he watches the changing colors as he drifts off to sleep. It relaxes him and creates a comforting light that he can even have right in bed with him and it won’t get hot or be a fire hazard and it’s soft and huggable.

T-Rex KinderGlo Night Light

As a parent I like all the available options, like having it glow in one color or changing colors, staying on for 30 minutes or all night if you so choose.  The charging station makes it easy to recharge the night light and is sleek and easy to use.  Mommy Ramblings is adding the KinderGlo Night Light to our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide!!!
