TUESDAY GIVEAWAY! LITTLE FLOURISHES (closed)

Today we have a special giveaway from our lovely sponsor Little Flourishes, the sustainable textile company of Olivia Meredith. Olivia, a seasoned creative director and mother of two, aimed to create a line of gender-neutral, beautifully-designed, and eco-friendly blankets and wraps.  Her vision evolved to include an entire collection of completely organic, locally-produced, and uniquely Australian blankets, wraps, and swaddles. Each design is inspired by the local flora and fauna of Australia, such as the Australian Sleep Feathers baby wrap or Queensland Firewheel blanket.  Her simple and beautiful designs are all so sweet!

For today's giveaway, Little Flourishes is offering one lucky reader the LARGE Queensland Firewheel Blanket (pictured here- a $119.95 value!). This blanket is huge, soft, and gorgeous, and made of 100% organic cotton :) It's perfect for a picnic blanket in the summer or to use on a child's bed in the winter, and the print is so pretty.

To enter, simply follow the rafflecopter prompts below. There are five ways to enter (and support another woman-owned small business!). A winner will be chosen in 1 week on tuesday August 20th. This giveaway is OPEN to international readers! Good luck!

*Little Flourishes will also be at the Playtime Tokyo Exhibition this month from August 26th-28th*

GIVEAWAY :: URBAN BABY BONNETS :: UB2 {CLOSED}

This week's giveaway is from our lovely sponsor Urban Baby Bonnets (UB2).  The hand-made black and white polka dot number that Biet has been living in this summer is from UB2, and we really do love it.  Finding cute sun hats in mini sizes had been kind of a challenge for us, but this one fits the bill perfectly: foldable/easy to throw in your bag on the way out the door, adjustable chin strap with snaps to keep it on Biet's head (and off of the ground), and a super wide brim for actual sun protection.  Plus, the brim is only on the front, so she can lean back comfortably in her stroller while wearing it. Oh yeah, its also reversible!

The ladies behind UB2 are giving away a bonnet in the winner's choice of size to one lucky reader! To enter, simply visit UB2 and leave a comment below saying which bonnet is your favorite.  A winner will be chosen friday. Good luck!!

UB2 is also offering Petite Biet readers free shipping on any order! Simply enter "BIETFREE" at checkout and your package ships for free!

GIVEAWAY: BARREL + A HEAP {CLOSED}

This week we have a generous gift certificate giveaway from our lovely sponsor Barrel + A Heap.  Barrel + A Heap is the etsy shop owned by the ever-so-kind Carissa. She hand-sews diaper covers for cloth-diapered babes, as well as pretty home goodies like quilts and pillow covers.

We've been cloth diapering Biet for 14 months now, and have tried most of the brands of diaper covers out there.  So at this point, I feel like I know a thing or two about cloth diapering.  My three biggest  pet peeves with diaper covers are:  the "waterproof" brands out there that end up being super plastic-y, the "easy" velcro closures that unfortunately wake up sleeping babes (when you're trying to be a super Mama and change them in their sleep), and lastly, poor fit (when the cover leaks like crazy or falls off on its own and you wonder what its good for at all).  Carissa sent Biet a cover to try, asking me to write an honest review, and here it is..

This watermelon diaper cover is up there with the best of them.  Not only are the patterns super cute (I usually don't even put anything over and people think that Biet is wearing bloomers), but the fabric walks the fine line of "water-resistant," amazingly not letting wetness through, while staying soft against the skin.  The fit is perfect. Biet is about 23 lbs and wears a size large, snapped on the tightest fitting.  It hugs her little bum snugly, stays put, and happily will be able to grow with her until she is potty trained.  I love that the cover is fastened with sturdy snaps.  Biet hasn't been able to open them yet, so that's been nice, and they are much quieter than velcro.  I've been throwing the cover in the washer and the dryer (which has made some store-bought brands fall apart) and its holding strong both in color and structure.

So, simply put, I wish we had discovered Barrel + A Heap earlier on in our cloth diapering adventures, so that I could have avoided buying so many subpar brands.  I tell all of my cloth-diapering friends about Carissa's lovely wares, and now I am telling you too. 

And to top it off, purchasing these means supporting a small woman-owned business, which is awesome, and, in my opinion, a way better alternative to buying mass-produced.

AND FOR THE GIVEAWAY: Carissa is giving one lucky reader a $25 gift certificate to her shop!  You can use it to buy anything in her shop (I am loving this herringbone pillow cover right now). To enter, simply visit her shop and leave a comment below about your favorite item. 

A winner will be chosen on Monday. Good luck!!

petite giveaway :: Huggabeans CLOSED

The other day Biet received a package in the mail. We opened it to find this delicate Huggabeans crocheted hat, made by hand just for baby girl! I love that although it is brand new, it feels like a family heirloom that could have been passed down from generation to generation. I always prefer handmade over mass-produced when it comes to clothing & accessories (or anything, really), especially when it is as well-made (and affordable! I might have to order a few of these for Biet in different colors!) as this little hat.  Constance, the visionary and crocheting expert behind the company, would like to offer a Petite Biet reader one item of his or her choice from her shop! To enter, make sure you're a follower of Petite Biet, then visit the shop & leave a comment below letting us know what item you would choose.  A winner will be chosen Tuesday at noon  (now closed- see winner below). Happy weekend!

Thanks to everyone who entered..

Congratulations Emmy!
