Zubels Rattle Flash Giveaway

It's football time!! And my husband is a very happy man. He loves to watch football every Sunday afternoon. It's something he really enjoys. And if he had a little one around the house still, I know that he would be more than happy for that little one to have a very special toy from Zubels in honor of football!

I've shared before with you about Zubels. They are a fantastic company that makes amazing, bright, cheerful, and safe toys for babies, toddlers, and well, all kids! They also make some lovely sweaters and the cutest hats!

Since it is football time, they sent me the neatest little football player 12" doll. He is absolutely adorable! Every bit of him is made so even small children can play with him safely, without the worry of a choking hazard. He is soft and cuddly and completely washable! He is made from 100% organic cotton, which is something I truly appreciate a lot! The football player is also available in a 7" rattle just like this little girl below.

This is the cheerleader rattle. Isn't she cute? I love her little curls and her sweet face. She too is made from 100% organic cotton and is safe for any little one to play with. And she is washable. Not too many cloth rattles are!

I absolutely love the whole line of Zubels products. They take very serious care in producing the hand knit toys, sweaters, hats, pants, and booties. Each piece truly does show the care they take in making them by the fantastic details they put into them. The variety of items they carry is wonderful too. The football player comes in several colors, so you can find one close to the team you are rooting for. The same with the cheerleader.

I love Zubels, and I'm pretty sure you will too!

You can purchase any of the sweet Zubels football players or cheerleaders in 12" dolls or 7" rattles HERE!

Do You Have A Zubel?

There are several companies that I really, really like (okay maybe more than just several). if I have a chance to tell you about one of their products I want to do it because I think so much of their products.

Zubels is one of those companies. I love what they do and I love the products!

They sent me the sweetest little rattle to try out. It's the 7" doll rattle named Bruno Barkster the Dog. Isn't he just adorable!

All of Zubels products are made with 100% cotton and they are all hand knit. Each one is soft and made with the highest attention to detail. It's amazing to see the quality of the workmanship in each and every one of the toys and other products they carry! All the tiny details that are put into them just make that that much nicer and a much higher quality product that you know will be safe for your child to play with.

They are super easy to take care of. Simply wash them by hand using a gentle detergent (no bleach) to get any dirt or stains off. Roll the toy in a toll, pressing slightly, to absorb a lot of the excess moisture, then lay flat to dry. I would lay it on a screen or drying rack so air can get to all sides as it dries.

Zubels carries so many wonderful thing from the doll rattles like Bruno to larger hand knit dolls, hats, sweaters, booties, pants and special gift sets. There is something for everyone. And the items match each other. You can buy a hat, sweater, pants and toy that all fit the same theme, colors and design. And I can absolutely say they are all adorable!!

You can purchase your own Zubels Bruno Barkster the Dog Rattle Knit Doll or any of the other amazing items they carry HERE!

Connect with Zubels on their website, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. Plus in the lower right corner of their home page you can sign up to get their emails where they will send you sale information and coupons!

Zubels Organic Toys Make A Soft and Safe Gift For Your Little Ones

Zubels are Eco-Friendly 100% organic cotton hand knit characters. These super cute toys are the perfect gift for any little one in your life.  I received the Cheerleader (pink red) 12" doll. She is just adorable and the perfect gift for one of the little girls I am gifting this Christmas.

Isn't she just adorable?

All of the toys from Zubels are made of super soft 100% organic cotton and they have vibrant colors. I think it is wonderful that they don’t contain any toxic chemicals and have been tested to ensure they are 100% safe. That means the toys are good for babies and older kids as well. And Zubels has minimal packaging. By not packaging their product with excessive and needless packaging there is less waste of resources and less waste for the landfill.

Many of the toys they offer are larger dolls (12") and they have smaller ones that are rattles (7"). They also have a wonderful variety of characters to pick from, so you can find something to fit a specific theme or something that you know your child would love. It's a cheerful site to peruse through.

What I love about these toys is they are completely washable. You just hand wash them in a mild detergent, roll up in a towel to absorb excess moisture and allow to dry laying flat. You can't say that about many stuffed toys for children.

Zubels also carries so many other wonderful products, clothing, hats, booties and more. Going through their website was so much fun. I found all kinds of things I would love to give to several new moms and special kiddos in my life. They are products that are super cute and I can feel good about giving because they are safe and eco-friendly, plus the prices are amazingly good! You have to love that.

I would recommend the Zubel Eco-Friendly Toys to anyone out there looking for eco-friendly and safe toys for their baby or older child. The only problem is trying to decide which character or characters to get. There are so many and they are all adorable!

You can purchase any of the Zubels products HERE!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

This is one of the best bags I have ever received. I use it every day and I love it. The quality can't be beat and it looks amazing! Right now and through December you can get a 30% discount on any purchase on their site with this code: PATTERN30

Sweet Bungalow Dollhouse

Every little girl's desire, a dollhouse for her dolls. This one fits dolls up to 18", which include American Girl dolls. Your little girl could really let her imagination go with this dollhouse.

Terracotta Cascade Solar Fountain

Every gardener I know loves having a fountain or two in their yard. This one is perfect for so many landscape designs and requires no electricity. Plus it can be used inside as well with the electric convertor that is available.

Little People Nativity

I had to include this as a wonderful gift for a toddler or young child. When I was little my Mother let me play with her nativity set and it has always been one of my fondest memories.

Pattern LA Bucket Bag

What a fun way to carry around all you need each day. Large enough to hold a laptop, yet easy enough to use for everyday essentials. Comes with many word choices and so cute! Right now and through December you can get a 30% discount on any purchase on their site with this code: PATTERN30

Beewi Bluetooth Interactive Helicopter

I'm really not sure who this is more for, the tween, or teen, or your grown up boy. I think they would all enjoy this for Christmas!

Baby Stella

Baby Stella is delightfully detailed, from her lifelike toes, belly button and plump tummy, to her soft fleece hair and embroidered features. She is super soft and so much fun to play with. They offer lots of accessories to go with her too.

Plug 'N Sing Karaoke System

This would be a super fun gift for the whole family. It connects with your DVD player. No need for a separate system. 

Crayon Rocks

I love these. Each "rock" is super easy to hold and color with plus they are made from soy wax and natural mineral pigments, which make coloring an adventure. The colors combine easily making the color combinations a creative experience for your kids. They are exceptionally good for little ones who have trouble holding traditional crayons.

Cuisinart Deluxe Stainless-Steel Grill Set

The perfect gift for the barbecue guru in your house. This set is made to last and look good for years and comes in a wonderful case for storage.

Calvin the Closet Monster

When I first saw this fun little guy I wasn't sure who I would like him more for, the baby or me! He's adorable with embroidered features and comes with 4 pairs of super cute socks for baby.

Mustache Bandages

Seriously, how much fun are these! What a great stocking stuffer for the whole family.

DELUXE Custom Super Hero Cape Set With Mask

One of the best gifts my Mother-In-Law gave our boys when they were little was a super hero cape. They wore them constantly and insisted on keeping them when they grew too large for them. These are custom made for your little boy or girl and come with a nifty mask to hide their identity!

Executive Portable USB Turntable

This is something my guy would love. He misses being able to play his vinyl records. This compact and portable turntable plays your favorite records and converts them to digital files you can upload to your computer or other USB compatible device.

LuxPro Illuminated Dog Collar

We can't forget our four-legged family members at Christmas. We have a black newfoundland and letting him out at night and keeping an eye on him can be tough since he blends into the darkness. An illuminated collar makes a big difference. They have matching leashes too!

Kookamunga Beds ~ Fish

This is something almost every cat I have ever know would enjoy having. Plus how neat it looks and at a good price.

MistleToes ~ Piggy Paint

Non-toxic and hypo-allergenic nail polish for your little divas. They'll love painting their fingernails and toenails (and maybe yours too) and you don't have to worry about them using them.

InStyler Tulip Auto Curler

This was one gift I just loved receiving. It is the most amazing tool to have for curling hair and when you have 3 feet of it, you recommend what works for that much hair! In fact I love all the InStyler products!!

Telestrations

I honestly believe this was one of the best games our family has ever played. it has become one of our favorites and the most request game to play when friends come over for a night. We love it, but I recommend having tissues around for the tears from laughter while you play!

Froggy Frenzy

Believe me, when your little ones play with this fun frog lots of giggles will ensue! As they feed the bug into the frogs mouth he makes froggy sounds. It comes with 3 soft bugs to feed the frog and his tummy opens up to remove them after he's "eaten".

Xoundstar® Smart Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Portable

Wirelessly connect to your phone, laptop, PC, or other Bluetooth-enabled device to enjoy rich, clear audio while listening to music, movies, or games. Answer and receive phone calls hands-free. Plus -- talk to SIRI without having to pick up your phone. We love our little speaker with exceptional sound!

Bru Joy Kitchen Gadgets

As a serious cook and someone who appreciates quality I love the small kitchen gadgets by Bru Joy. They are sturdy, do the job well and last. They offer the three items pictured above as well as others to help make your life in the kitchen easier. These would make great stocking stuffers for the cooks in your family.

Lego Minifigures

The perfect stocking stuffer for your kids. I don't know a kid out there who does not like Legos and what better to go with all their sets than some fun and unique characters like Piggy Guy (plus lots of others)! SOme minifigures are also available in Lego Stores, so be watching for them.

Innovation Factory IceDozer Plus 2.0 Ice Scraper

This is one of the best ice scrapers you will ever find. It has a two handed grip and it cuts through seriously thick ice in just one pass. A great stocking stuffer for your guys.

Popcorn Factory Snowflake Tin & Towers

If you have never had popcorn (and other amazing goodies) from the Popcorn Factory, you have been missing out. It is by far some of the best flavored popcorn you will get anywhere. I can guarantee that whoever you give one of these Snowflake tin & Towers sets to will love them! 

Zubels 100% Cotton Hand Knit Toys

I absolutely  love all the products from Zubels, but their toys just grab my attention! I honestly can not give you just one that I love more than the others. They are all so sweet and safe for your babies and little ones. Golly, I know a few older kids who would love them too! They are all eco-friendly too. Love that!

Pattern LA Elsa Jacquard Bag - Ethnique

I had to add another Pattern bag. I just love all of them and they can each carry so much and they hold up to use and abuse! The soft and super lightweight unstructured Elsa bag is made of the finest French woven cotton jacquard. Complemented with rich leather straps, two inside pockets and an invisible magnetic snap closure, this is the perfect bag to tote around the city or countryside!

Country Kitchen Wall Phone II

I love this! It reminds me of my Grandma's house. This country wall phone is an authentic reproduction of early American heritage. While this beautiful recreation is designed to provide high-quality communications, it has all the charm of the faithful original. Introduced in the early 1920's, this classic features a crank handle that actually turns, yet features touch-tone buttons with a rotary dial. It would be a great and unique addition to any country home or man cave.

Easy@Home TENS Handheld Electronic Pulse Massager Unit

This is an amazing unit. It helps relieve pain by stimulating nerves, muscles and cells with little electronic impulses. it has done wonders for my arthritic knee and bad back. This is something that could be used by anyone hurting and wanting to avoid using medications.

Ozeri 3x Tower Fan (44") with Passive Noise Reduction Technology

This has to be one of the best fans out there. It has 9 amazing settings, works with one, two or all three fans going. Has a wonderful breeze setting that makes it feel like you are sitting outside in a summer breeze. it takes up little room and is super quiet! It would make a wonderful gift for so many people!
