Feature Friday -- Goodie Tins -- The Sophisticated Cousin of the Gift Basket (Review)

 

This past Monday, I shared my Spotlight on Mommy interview with Melissa Livingston of Goodie Tins with you. Click here - http://www.inspiredbysavannah.com/2012/07/spotlight-on-mommy-melissa-livingtston.html --  if you missed it.  Today, I wanted to share more information on this fun and unique gift giving idea.  As many of you know, my daughter, Savannah, celebrated her 2nd birthday back on 7/19.  Melissa surprised me with a shirt just for Savannah, in addition to sending the Baby's First Year Photo Goodie Tin to review. As soon as I showed Savannah the t-shirt, she began to smile and kept saying "2."  Once on, she couldn't stop pointing to it proudly.  And, while out and about making last minute purchases for her birthday party, she kept getting compliments from cashier and shoppers, who loved her shirt.

Here is Savannah when I asked her to take her shirt off, so we could put her bathing suit on -- Let's just say she wasn't a happy camper, as she wanted to keep it on. :-)  And, so starts the terrible two's...

 

As for the Baby's First Year Photo Goodie Tin Goodie Tin  -- what an amazing gift idea for new and expectant moms.  I wish I had received this for my daughters, as it would have made capturing their monthly pictures fun.  And, when it came time to try and figure out how old they were in a photo, I wouldn't have to guess, as the shirt would tell me :-)  I can't tell you how many times I have tried to figure out the age of my girls in photos, only to guess wrong.  

 

Tucked inside this goodie tin you'll find...
2 decorated onesies (size 0-3 months)
4 decorated onesies (size 3-6 months)
6 decorated onesies (size 6-12 months)
1 Goodie Tin gallon keepsake tin to store babies precious moments

Some of the best advice a new mom receives is to cherish every moment because before you know it your baby will no longer be a baby. This personalized Goodie Tin gives you an easy way to mark those important milestones. Photograph your baby every month in one of the 12 specially designed onesies. Be sure to capture all the firsts throughout the year like first smile, first tooth and first step. The Goodie Tin also serves as the perfect holder for all your first year keepsakes like hospital bracelets, blankets and pacifiers. Personalize it with up to 3 baby photos.  

I especially loved the paint can idea, and how those receiving one would be excited and eager to see what was inside.  Even if you are not an expectant or new mom, there are other Goodie Tins available including the following:

So, if you are looking for a fun gift to give a family member, friend, co-worker or new neighbor, why not surprise them with a Goodie Tin?
