Today, October 7th, we are Giving Away... (CLAIMED)

A Car Seat Cozy of the Winners' Choice from Stranded Designs

A chill is in the air.

Have you felt it?

We sure have.

And guess what?

It's only going to get colder.

Therefore, here at Give Away Today we want your little one (or a little one you know) to stay warm and bundled this winter. Whether you are rushing into the grocery store, or the gym, or to playgroup, the Car Seat Cozy from Stranded Designs allows you to cover your baby and keep him or her warm and toasty.


Stranded Designs is located in Canada, where due to frigid winters, bundling up children is essential. The owner of Stranded Designs has this to say of the Car Seat Cozy:

"Having seen a few other 'cozy type' bunting bags on the market, the options for fabric were limited. I quickly realized if I wanted something that reflected my sense of style, I was going to have to create it. So I did! And what a response I had. Strangers would stop me and ask where I had purchased my cozy which led me to open my own shop. I pride myself on hand selecting the most striking fabrics I can find then line them with an array of luxurious minky. I believe that my fabrics are more for the moms than they are for the babies. I want everyone to feel like a 'hot mama' when they're stepping out with their little one....in any season."

Thank you, Stranded Designs, we appreciate you for making such darling products.

Such as these little lovelies:


And these:

Or what about this adorable skirt:

"Yeah, I really need to get out." Another ten, "Okay, it really is time." But my cold bones just wouldn't allow me to stand up.

The wind started blowing and it was only half way through the first quarter. By the end I was wet through every layer and frozen to the bone. I think I am still thawing out.

Courtney Rae Clark: Where I live we have 'The National Peanut Festival' every year right around this time. Well The first year I was allowed to go with my friends instead of my parents and little sitter I was uber excited! I got home from school and I was so hot that day! I changed into a little cap sleeve shirt and some pants and went to go. My dad told me to grab a jacket, but my stubborn butt didn't listen. and 3 hours later at 40-something degrees I sure was sorry! I slept in 3 layers of clothes and a quilt over 2 extra blankets that night! My bones never ached llike that in my life!

Lisseth Edwards. I was married late December in Alberta, where the temps reach well below -20C. The night before my wedding day we had to travel hours to get to my ceremony destination. There was a blizzard which made the trip even longer, and not even having the heater cranked made it warm enough. I had family come up who were not used to the freezing temps and all the snow. Needless to say they haven't come to Canada since:)

Luckily the officer was nice enough to give me a ride home, in the front seat even. When I got there I took a shower and kept turning the hot water up until it was on all the way.
