A Cool Kid Adirondack Chair!! - ENDED!

"30 Best Gifts for Christmas!" - Day 24!!


A Cool Kid!!!

When I first found A Cool Kid products, I fell instantly in love with the company.

They have the most original art I have ever seen on a child's chair!
When they sent me a Julie Jellyfish chair to review (see below), I was also able to not only see the originality, but also the great amount of care that goes in to every single little detail of their work!
Just look at their chairs below- they really are the finest, yet cutest child's Adirondack Chair I have EVER seen, hands down!!
Another one of my favorite items from their website is their toy bench (seen below). They have various styles in these, as well. I LOVE the chalkboard on the back of this bench. When my son was little, he would have thought this was the coolest thing ever!
You can find so many different products from the "A Cool Kid" site, such as coat racks, furniture, piggy banks... even personalized potty chairs, with your child's picture on them!!!! There is baby furniture, toddler and child furniture, and even pre-teen products! If there is a special child on your list this year, please don't complete your Christmas shopping without checking out "A Cool Kid" products. You will NOT be disappointed!!
This dinosaur rocking chair is just adorable!!!
Another great thing about A Cool Kid is their story!
Barry, the owner, shared this with me when we first began our talks about featuring them on Mingle Over Mocha...

"My wife (Summer) and I started A Cool Kid in February of 2007. We quickly found that kid's Adirondack chairs were our most popular sellers but could not find a steady, reliable supply of them. Manufacturers were always running out of stock or discontinuing items. So, we thought we'd try our luck at designing and having our own line manufactured.

We knew of one manufacturer overseas that produced a very sturdy, high quality chair and we arranged for them to make our design. We spent days scouring images of different characters and finally found a cute pink jellyfish image and purchased rights to use it. We then picked the best color we could think of for the body of the chair and poof! Julie Jellyfish was born.

Sales have been a little slow, but we hope to one day grow into a distributor of many different lines of "A Cool Kid Designs" Adirondack chairs. We live on the coast in NC, so naturally all designs will have a "beach" or "coastal" theme and a fun name that kids can easily remember."


Would you LOOOVE to win a Julie Jellyfish chair of your own? Let me just tell you, you WOULD! My daughters argue over whose turn it is to sit on ours!

All Things Mint! - ENDED!

Who can possibly resist the smell of chocolate? And when you couple it with mint, it's a done deal. My friend Marilee at All Things Mint has this combination mastered! She sent me an amazing sample of her Chocolate Mint Soap to try. My only complaint is that my youngest child REALLY wants to taste it!! :)

This soap is goatsmilk based, and it goes on SO smoothly- you'll love it!
Marilee also makes some other amazing mint goodies! Have a look at these heavenly fudge squares!

And the Candy Cane lotion set would make a perfect Christmas Gift!!


I doubt that it is possible that you haven't seen something that you HAVE to have!!! But just in case, check out this MINT EXPLOSION Candle!!!!


Would you LOVE to win some Chocolate Mint Soap to have in your bathroom when all your Christmas company arrives? I would love to have mine when my company arrives, but my kids use it a million times a day!!!

Marilee is offering a Chocolate Mint Soap to one lucky reader of Mingle Over Mocha!

Monogrammed Mug by Lemondrop Lane!


As you can see from my "Etsy Stalker" button on the right hand side of my blog, I LOVE Etsy!! Many of the giveaways and reviews I have conducted on this site are from Etsy!
One of the sites that I have saved in my "favorites" list is Lemon Drop Lane! Every one loves monogrammed and personalized gifts. My kids treasure gifts they have been given with their initials on them, and I love giving gifts to others that are monogrammed specially for them!

Lemon Drop Lane is the perfect site to find all of your monogrammed gifts. You can shop online in an instant, and it is shipped to you promptly! The prices are wonderful!


Look at these adorable koozies... I'm going to order one for myself!


I have one of their keychains, and I LOVE IT! I get comments on it all the time!
And you KNOW how much I love my coffee!!! Well, I think it might just taste a little better in my adorable monogrammed mug! How cute are these?? And, I have been using mine for a LONG time now, and there is NO moisture inside the plastic!


These personalized pillowcases are precious!!! My daughters would go crazy over these!
Lemon Drop Lane is offering to one lucky reader of Mingle Over Mocha a $25 gift certificate to their store!!!

NEOCUBE! - ENDED!

"30 Days of Giveaways" - Day 18

THE NEOCUBE!

What do you get when you combine entertainment, creativity, and portability?
THE NEOCUBE!

The Neocube is made of 216 individual, high-energy, rare earth magnets! You could spend HOURS coming up with new patterns, shapes, and designs with your Neocube!

Check out this video:



My son has taken his Neocube EVERYWHERE. It is the perfect entertainment for trips, because it is so portable! And unlike video games, where you get tired of certain tames, he never gets tired of his Neocube- there are always new shapes and patterns he hasn't tried! And I would much rather him use his creativity on the Neocube, instead of sitting and playing video games, anyway!

The only issue we have had with the Neocube is that EVERYONE in the family wants to use it at the same time! I am going to have to order 5 more of these!

And if you are looking for a little variety in your Neocube, check out this very cool gold plated model!


You can order the Neocube at http://www.TheNeocube.com.

OR....

You can win one here!

The makers of the Neocube have offered one Neocube Alpha to one lucky reader of Mingle Over Mocha!
