emma mckinstry Customizable, Hand-Stamped Jewelry (Review and Giveaway)

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Debbie Jackson #140!!

I love simple things. I don’t like to over do  on anything and I certainly do not like over doing it on jewelry. I am just simple :) emma mckinstry  (formerly unique, by emma), makes some pretty nice jewelry. It is not over the top and complicated, it is simply stunning and simple and I love that about her jewelry!

She recently came out with some new pieces and I was able to review one of them! I received the beautiful and elegant customizable, hand-stamped necklace to check out. Since my brother just got married not too long ago, I wanted to give this to his wife. So, I had an ‘s’ stamped on the necklace, for my brother’s name, Shaun.

I did have to put it on though and check it out for myself. It is very delicate and just so pretty and simple! All the things I look for in jewelry. This is perfect for everyday wear and is quite affordable at only $38.00. These necklaces can be customized with a single hand-stamped initial; all are available in brass/gold and silver.

About The Hand-Stamped Necklace:

a small heart-shaped charm is hand-stamped with the initial of your choosing (lowercase) and hangs from a simple chain. because of the hand-crafted nature of this piece, slight “imperfections” can be expected.
silver filled heart, 0.4” / silver plated cable chain / 16” long with 2” integrated extender

Buy

You can purchase the simple but elegant Hand-Stamped Necklace online at http://www.emmamckinstry.com/

Win!

One person will win a beautiful Hand-Stamped heart-shaped necklace of their own, with their choice of lowercase initial!

Zubels Handmade Knit Toys: Review And Giveaway!

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Marcie Wahrer #332!!

 

Zubels are adorable, handmade knit toys. They are super cute and oh so comfy for little ones to hold onto! They are also organic and Eco-friendly, which is super nice!

From adorable dolls to turtles, pirates and food, Zubels has something for every child on your Christmas list! I was able to pick out something I knew my little girl would love, to review!

I chose the London Collin Bunny. He is very cute and little. It will be perfect for my daughters little hands! Me and my son reviewed this as my daughter will be receiving this in her stocking.

 

 

He has adorable little blue eyes, he carries a yummy orange carrot and he is oh so soft! Very sweet little bunny doll, great for a boy or a girl.

Zubels uses 100% certified organic yarn, for their products. Zubels also uses minimal packaging, as you can see in the picture, so there is less waste. Zubels also uses eco-friendly low impact dyes which means they don’t contain toxic chemicals.

The only thing that I wish, is that their site was more user-friendly. I had to download some things that I wanted to view. I wish I could have just clicked on those things and I could be brought to that particular page. And, I wish that you did not have to view their online catalog to view their products. It would be much easier to have them on their site like other sites do. Those are my only complaints though!

Buy

You can purchase Zubels by visiting them online and searching for a store near you!

Win

One person is going to win a Zubels for their little one!!

How?

Easy! Just use Rafflecopter below! There is NO mandatory entry, so do one entry or all!  Your choice!! You may tweet TWICE a day, just make sure there is an hour in between each tweet, thanks!
