The
SafetyTat Quick Stick Write-On! tattoos from
SafetyTat temporary tattoos are a
sticker-like tattoo on which you can write your phone number. It can be easily applied to your children's arm, and it will
stay on for at least 2 weeks — that way, if your children get separated from you (heaven forfend), they don't have to remember or be able to say their phone number; it will be printed right there to be seen by a helpful adult.
If you were not the lucky winners, you can
purchase SafetyTat temporary tattoos directly from the
SafetyTat.com website or from the
list of local, online, and international retailers.
AND,
just for our readers, SafetyTat is offering a coupon code!

Grow Smart Games is a wonderful Etsy shop that exclusively features these two fun and entertaining, hand-crafted toys: an

If you were not the lucky winner,
you can buy My Pocket Games or I Spy Sensory Sticks online from the Grow Smart Games Etsy shop.
My Pocket Games come in different colors and sell for $5.50 for one, or $10 for two. They would be a great little present to slip into a stocking or as a bonus inside a larger package. Shipping is $1.75 for one to US or Canada or $0.50 with an additional item.

Michelle says:
"We are right now reading this story at least 3 times a day. This would be a cool addition."
This was a
joint giveaway with Natural Parents Network, so entries were combined and one winner drawn. Michelle entered at
Hobo Mama Reviews.
Glitterful Felt Stories features
incredible hand-crafted felt boards and story characters that are sure to spark your child's imagination. The felt characters from children's literature and songs stick to the flannel board and can be rearranged at will. Felt boards make a wonderful tool to
keep children engaged and happy during a long wait — such as on a trip, in a waiting room, or at a restaurant. They also make storytelling fun, because it brings the characters to life,
letting you or your children "act out" the story in a tactile and visually satisfying way.
If you were not the lucky winner,
you can buy felt stories and rolled travel boards online from GlitterfulFeltStories.com,
FunFeltStories.com, or their
Etsy shop.
Portable folding travel boards are $12 for the regular size, $14 for the larger. Aluminum and wall-hanging boards range from $14.99 to $19.99.
Felt stories generally start around $7.00 (although some are
on sale for even less), and most are in the $10-$14 range.
Shipping in the U.S. runs $9.95 for a felt board, $2 for one story and $0.50 for each additional story, plus a $1 handling fee. If you
sign up for the newsletter, you'll find they often offer shipping promotions and free stories with purchase. International shipping starts at $5 for one story and $0.50 for each additional story.

Giggle Junction's Etsy shop. The price for a single bag is $15. Shipping is $4 for U.S. (only $2 for additional bags), $6 for Canada, and $9.50 elsewhere, so it's very reasonable for such a quality custom item.
