Bellaziza - Pretty Precious. Exquisite Children's Accessories

Brought to you by our definitive 2008 Holiday Gift Guide, may we present THANKSGIVING SWAG!  It’s a collection of our Favorite Things to get you and your little ones merrily through your travels this Holiday Season, valued at over $500!!!

Over the river and through the woods…oh if it were just that easy! It’s more like stuck in traffic and delayed flights and wiggly little behinds! The most traveled holiday of the year is upon us, but don’t start pulling your hair out just yet! We have put together a list of items that are sure to keep your child safe and happy for your Thanksgiving travels and beyond! Whether you are loading up the minivan or traipsing everything but the kitchen sink to the airport, your trip will go smoothly with some of our Favorite Things for travel in hand!

Don’t walk out the door until you have packed this Favorite of ours! The Fisher Price Kid Tough DVD Player! A real DVD player designed for kids. Your child can drop this thing as many times as their clumsy (yet adorable) little hands allow and it keeps on going! Our favorite part about this DVD player… the anti-skip protection! Don’t worry about any turbulence or wiggly bottoms disturbing your little sweetie’s entertainment! And talk about versatile, it even plays CDs, too! Our SWAG giveaway includes the Accessories Kit and since we know that you can’t have the hottest new thing without a hot bag to carry it in, the carrying case is coming your way too!

“Can I take a picture of the turkey, Mommy?” If that sentence makes you cringe, then you need our next FAVORITE THING! I know when my little shutter bug wants to take pictures with my digital camera it’s a near meltdown, for both of us. But with their own Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera in hand, cringe no more! This is a real digital camera that’s tough enough and easy enough for kids to use all by themselves. Your child will be so proud to be the Thanksgiving photographer and you will be proud of yourself for making this one of your Favorite Things!  Click here to see a great video review of both these products by Dallas Fox 4 / KDFW .

Whatever you do, do not get even close to an airport without the Trunki!! At 3.8 pounds this ride-on (yes, I said ride-on!) suitcase for kids is a necessary part of your jet-setting family! Your kids can pack all their favorite things , sit on and ride their own luggage while the carry-on size makes it easy to carry and store in overhead luggage compartments. Not only is this amazing product convenient and a steal at only $39.99-$59.99 (or less!) (Click Here to purchase), the ingenious makers of Trunki have safety covered too! It has a built in soft rim to prevent little fingers from getting caught while shutting the case AND it has designed stabilizers to prevent children from easily falling off. We LOVE that!

So you’ve got your Trunki in tow and have made it to your gate. But what about that annoying car seat that you had to schlep through the airport! With your carry-on in one arm and the car seat awkwardly in the other, it’s a nightmare! No more! CARES is an innovative child restraint designed specifically for aviation use for children age 1 and older who weigh between 22 and 44 pounds. It weighs just one pound and fits into a 6″ bag! That’s right, girls, you can be safe and stylish because it will easily fit in your handbag! CARES is simple to install, and FAA approved. Click here to purchase for just $74.95 (or less)! What could be better? Safe, easy, fits in your handbag…a frequent flyer mommy’s dream!

Dance your way through your trip with the best of children’s music singing in your ears! The soundtrack for your journey will be fun, upbeat and jazzy with Kinderjazz’s new CD “The One For Me” (Click here to purchase) and really rockin’ with The Jimmies new CD “Make Your Own Someday” (Click here to purchase).

We hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving filled with family, friends and your Favorite Things!

Susan T., our winner of PHIL&TEDS TRAVELLER SWAG last week, was warmly welcomed this past Friday by our good friends at Regal Lager in Kennesaw, GA.  She had the opportunity to tour their facility and get up-close and personal with all of the fantastic products that they offer!  Kid gear gadgets and strollers galore - test drive anyone?!?!  (We’re still a little pink with envy.) 

(Pictured left to right - Sharina Richardson-Online Marketing Coordinator, Susan T.-Phil&Teds Traveller winner, Elisabeth Bergoo-Public Relations & Marketing Coordinator)

Susan said “Everything was very unique and so useful!  I was amazed by the metoo, and the strollers or ‘buggies’ as they call them are just so wonderful!  I love the versatility and quality of the Phil&Teds products.”  

Keep checking back with us for more great reviews and SWAG ALERTS from Phil&Teds and others including their super chic new Vibe Uptown InLine Stroller and Susan’s favorite - the MeToo tabletop highchair!  All of this and more just for you, our Favorite Readers.

To win your own fabulous Fisher Price’s new Zen Collection™ Cradle Swing email reviews@bellaziza.com with ”ZENTASTIC SWAG” in the subject line and let us know which Fisher Price Zen Collection™ product is your absolute favorite and why.

All entries must be received by Sunday, July 20th, midnight, PST.  You may enter once per email address per day.  Winner will be chosen on Monday via random.org.  Good luck to all!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Fisher Price!  Someone over there must have felt our recent disappointment in trying to find a truly exceptional swing, because they really delivered!

How many of you mothers went through more than one swing per child because you bought the wrong swing?  It’s not a good feeling when after 3 or 4 months of use a motor bites the dust or something cracks or it’s just no longer usable for whatever reason.  At that point both baby and mommy are liking the swing, so you have to go out and buy another one.  Feelings of buyers’ remorse aside - it’s a pretty important piece of equipment and we have been looking for the absolute best one for quite some time now.

Fisher Price’s new Zen Collection™ is truly breathtaking.  The attention to detail and the quality of the entire collection is really far above and beyond what we had expected.  The collection includes their Cradle Swing, Gliding Bassinet, Highchair and Infant Seat.  They are all aboslutely lovely and the functionality and design of this collection is truly divine!  We really love the earthy tones, real wood accents and luxurious fabrics that they used, setting this collection far apart from any other.  Take one look and you will understand.

The swing’s construction is very high-end and it’s built to last.  It is very simple to operate, and even when changing positions or removing the seat for easy portability, there’s one great button that does it all!  It swings both forward and side to side too.  The mobile is simple but cute, and the music that it plays is actually nice, rather than the techno-electro type of chimyness that most other swings subject everyone to.  It also has waterfall and cricket type nature noises that are quite interesting.

The swing’s cover comes off quite easily for cleaning.   After 3 wash and drys (inside out, delicate cycle, low heat) it still came out looking new with no pilling or shifting of the padding at all!  This makes us smile.  Fisher price will also sell replacement covers for the seat through their parts department eventually.  (It’s such a new product that they don’t have them just yet.)  TIP: buy an extra cover so that you can rotate them rather than washing and waiting!

The swing itself operates on 4 D-sized batteries, or the included wall adapter.  LOVE that!  No more batteries unless you chose to use them!  The D’s get quite expensive too, right?

Our favorite thing about this swing that makes it so unique is the fact that you can take the seat off of the swing base easily and smoothly with one touch to bring baby with you without any disturbance.  It makes such a great little portable baby seat!  There are also two little blankets that are attached, so no more falling blankets that slow the swing down and place extra strain on that motor.  Very smart, right?!?!

The only thing that we weren’t crazy about is that although the recline is fantastic and makes it very usable with tiny newborns, the sitting-up position of the seat is still very reclined.  Once baby is at the point that they want to see their surroundings and be a part of things more, really sitting up in it will be difficult.  Propping a blanket behind them may work, but we do wish that there were another click available in the seat adjustment.

Overall, it is by far the best swing that has probably ever been produced and we are highly recommending it.  Finally, Bellaziza has a Favorite Swing!!!  It retails at just over $200, but given the quality of its construction and magnificent design it is very well worth it.  We love this swing and so will you!

We recently found the absolute cutest line of tee’s for kids - Huddy Buddy!!  They have the most adorable little  illustrations on them and take on a little bit of a retro twist, which we really love.  Check them out at www.huddybuddy.com to see all of their designs.  

We especially love the “We Take The Cake” shirt with it’s too cute cupcake shop theme.  It is also Suri Cruise’s favorite Huddy Buddy shirt, but we share the same love for cupcakes in general with her and her mommy Katie, so that’s no big surprise here.  Great minds think alike… and love cupcakes!

They also have a really nice line of sibling shirts which are soooo the perfect gift for your neighbors who are expecting #2 or more!    

One lucky reader will win their choice of any Huddy Buddy shirt too!  Just email us at “reviews@bellaziza.com” with “HUDDY BUDDY SWAG” in the subject line.  Visit their website and let us know which of their designs is your favorite and why.  All entries must be received by Sunday, June 22, midnight, PST.  You may enter once per email address per day.  Winner will be chosen on Monday via random.org.  Good luck to all!!!

We simply love Boon!  Everything is always so well designed and functional, and the quality is always excellent. When we found out about all of the new brilliant additions to their line though, we just had to pass it on to you!

It’s always nice to see any good business grow and succeed. It’s even better when you can see that it’s not just an effort of brilliant pr/marketing, but of their truly functional and high quality products. We wish Boon all of the success in the world for this reason. They have recently launched a bunch of great new products that we will detail for you, including a layette line, sterling silver baby and children’s jewelry, and some SUPER cool and well thought out feeding accessories.

The new Boon Layette line is fabulous! It is extremely well made with 100% fully combed cotton (for a super chic fit) and ultra cool prints and colors. We washed it, stained it, treated it, washed it and basically put it through the ringer….AND it came out like a champ! It is our new favorite layette line. We really believe in its quality. It is so nice to be able to buy beautiful things for your baby and not break the bank over it too, at between $15 and $30. Their collection includes bodysuits, coveralls, rompers, pants and hats.

Boon’s new collection of jewelry is absolute luxury. Their Boon-level of craftsmanship ensures that these pieces will be an exquisite keepsake, treasured for years to come. They are perfect for any special occasion and come in a variety of stunning designs. These are truly for that child in your life who has everything but deserves more! They range is size from newborn to toddler/child and are priced between $59 - $99 each. They are also perfect for engraving!

How many of us remember those days when little junior was learning how to eat solids and how frustrating that confounded baby spoon seemed? It was a true exercise in patience for us. Sweet potato puree all over the place:)! There has to be a better way! Well now there is with Boon’s new “Squirt“! It is a spoon that holds the food inside so that there is no more fumbling around with those little jars of food and the spoon and all of that. You simply SQUIRT your sweetie’s pureed treat into the spoon by squishing the handle which is filled with food. It is SUPER simple and even comes with a nifty cover so that you can save leftovers easily! Enter our Boon Swag Giveaway to win your own Squirt!

Their whole line of feeding gear is wonderful. The Snack Ball can also be yours too if you enter to win! It is a super chic, yet functional container that is perfect for those little fingers to keep their crackers or cereal in. It has a small-ish opening so that spills aren’t as dramatic, and the cover turns to open and close it completely. We love the fact that the plastic on all of their products are “safe” and eco-friendly too. It is another great part of their commitment to delivering you and your family only the BEST!

To win your own fabulous Squirt and Snack Ball from Boon, just email us with ‘”BOON SWAG” in the subject line and let us know which of their innovative products on www.booninc.com is your absolute favorite. Email reviews@bellaziza.com. All entries must be received by Sunday, June 1st at midnight, PST. You may enter once per email address per day. Winner will be chosen on Monday via random.org. Good luck to all!!!

From the moment that we saw this dollhouse advertised, it looked so cool and different!  It is not your average dollhouse for so many reasons.  It is 100% green, first of all.  All of the wood is organic and comes from sustainable sources, and the paints used are all 100% organic, so you don’t have to worry about any nasty recalls after your sweetie has already played the heck out of it.  

With Plan Toys, it’s FUN to be green!  All of their toys are SUPER cute and lots of fun to play with.  They make up for that boring element that some earth friendly toys tend to have, and create an imaginative environment where your little one’s mind can thrive.

Our favorite thing about the dollhouse is the fact that it comes fully furnished!  It’s an option, (at $170) and is totally worth the extra dough (as opposed to $130 without).  It is also so cool how it is two separate pieces so that you can place your Swiss Chalet into any configuration that you like!  You could even use it as 2 separate dollhouses, since sometimes it just takes a village - even as a doll!  PS - don’t forget to order your doll family!  (Dolls not included with dollhouse.)
