Gutzy Gear: The New Must-Have Accessory

  

I had only seen Gutzy Gear on one of those TV infomercials a couple of times before I received an email from MomSelect and BSM Media saying I was chosen to host a Gutzy Gear party.  My kids, apparently, knew all about Gutzy Gear and were excited.  As a Gutzy Gear in-home party host, I received a package filled with Gutzy Gear straps, Gutzies (patches) and fun games and activity ideas.

So what exactly is Gutzy Gear?

Gutzy Gear is the new "must have" accessory.  Gutzy Gear straps and Gutzies are a great way for kids  to express themselves by customizing their backpacks, duffel bags, messenger bags and virtually anything that has a strap!  Gutzies are cool, removable patches that stick to the Gutzy strap covers.  To date, there are 56 Gutzies in a series, with more on the way.

Gutzy Gear is not just an accessory, it is also a way for kids to express themselves and to make friends by trading Gutzies.

Getting Gutzy is simple:

With that in mind, I invited 12 kids (plus my 3) over for some pizza, popcorn, Gutzy Gear and games like  Gutzy dominoes and bingo!

  

      

This is what the Gutzy straps look like on my kids' backpacks.  As you can see, we've purchased more Gutzies since the party! The other moms at the party have told me they've bought some new Gutzies for their kids as well.

Each pack of Gutzy Gear starter kit comes with 2 straps and 1 Gutzy patch (MSRP: $9.99).  Additional Gutzies (MSRP: $3.99-$4.99) can be purchased.  Each pack comes with 2 Gutzies.  Gutzy Gear is available in major retailers like Toys R Us, Walmart, Kmart and Target.

What are you waiting for?  Go Get Gutzy!!

** I applied and was selected to be a Gutzy Gear in-home party host by MomSelect and BSM Media.  As a host, I received a Gutzy Gear Get Together kit which included Gutzy Gear starter kits and Gutzy patch sets.  I was not monetarily compensated for this post.  All opinions and pictures are my own.

Lovable Labels Review and Giveaway

Alright. I admit it. I like labeling things. No….I LOVE labeling things. In fact, I look forward to the beginning of the school year. New backpacks. New lunch bags. New pencil cases. New school supplies and uniforms. New stuff that I then get to label.

As much as I love putting labels on my kids’ things, I haven’t been satisfied with the quality of the labels I’ve used in the past. By the third week of school, the labels will have already ripped, peeled, or fallen off.

While attending the Social Soiree event at BlogHer ’11 in San Diego, I discovered Lovable Labels and was given a pack of personalized labels in my Swag bag. I was skeptical at first, but the longer I used the labels, the more excited I became about the product. They actually stayed on and looked pretty as well.

Launched in 2003, Lovable Labels was started by a mom who recognized that there was a need for personalized labels that were tough, durable, and could withstand the test of time and children. Throughout the years, they have continued to develop innovative and useful products, many of which are a result of customers’ feedback.

Lovable Labels specialize in personalized labels and tags. They developed the best quality labels that are durable and beautiful. Their labels are waterproof, dishwasher and microwave safe, washer and dryer safe, bleach safe, sunscreen safe and temperature safe. Lovable Labels offers many types of labels including multipurpose sticker labels, shoe labels and clothing labels.

Not only are Lovable Labels durable, colorful, and affordable but they are also easy to find. You can order your labels online at Lovable Labels or if you prefer to talk to a live person, you can call 1-866-327-LOVE (5683). They are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

I was given the Back To School pack to review. This pack comes with 15 regular sticker labels, 80 slimline sticker labels, 48 Press n’ Stick Clothing Dots, 12 Shoe labels, 2 mini Metal Tags (and twp 4” silver ball chains), and 12 Square labels. That’s a total of 165 labels! The tags and stickers can be personalized with your name and icons. Since I received them, I’ve been on a labeling rampage. I have stuck these cute labels on my kids’ backpacks, lunch bags, pencil bags, gym bags, uniforms, swim caps (yes, they have stayed on), and shoes!
