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:

Lindsay Young: I lived in Japan for a few years... they don't have central heating and our apartment walls were cement. We came home for Christmas one year and when we got back to our apartment after being gone for a 2 weeks... the cold cement of our apartment was FREEZING. You can't sleep with the portable heaters on... so it was a night I will never forget. I don't think I slept a wink... and shivered the entire night.

Sandy White: I grew up in Los Angeles, so for me "cold" was 65 degrees (Fahrenheit). For one semester in college, I did a travel study to Nauvoo, IL, on the bank of the Mississippi River. We got there the first week in January. The first Sunday, my roommate and I walked to church. It was about 2 blocks, and we were both wearing knee-length skirts, no nylons, and jackets. No hats, mittens...well, you get the picture. It took me several minutes just to be able to feel my extremities. I was soooo cold, and I've never been that cold again (thankfully!). You Midwesterners are tough people!!!

Malinda B: When I was about 6 I was playing near the ice covered ditch with my friend. I fell through the ice and was drenched in ice water in 15 degree weather in Idaho. We were a couple blocks away from my house, and I was so cold I decided to sit down and get warm before I could keep moving (doesn't make sense, I know now). My friend actually picked me up and carried me those 2 blocks to my home. I was probably hypothermic but my friend saved me!

Jessica Bezzant:
I lived in China for a while and it's super humid AND cold, and they don't heat their buildings...where I was anyway, and so basically, I never got warm for about 3 months straight. Even in the shower, because I had a 7 minute warm water "timer" on the shower, and after 7 minutes, the hot water ran out. Good times!

Ashley Israelsen said...

Ashley Israelsen: When we were getting our engagement pics taken the photographer thought it would be fun to have some of us wrestling in the snow. No coats, no hats, no mittens...I was freezing and wet. I was so cold I cried the whole time waking back to the car. :)

It was freezing. I doubled up clothes on all the kids and put hats and scarfs on. Luckily at 10:00 that night the gas leak was fixed and the blessed heat was turned back on.

Nichole Hind: I have been cold more times than I can remember but one memory I will never forget...I was 13 years old and on the Mormon Pioneer Trail re-enactment in '97. It was in the middle of July and SOOO hot. HOT?!!...I swear I am getting to the cold part ;) So we were walking 21 miles this day through Wyoming and we were all sweating our bums off. We were about 12 miles into our trek and lo and behold the clouds cover and it starts SNOWING!!! I am not kidding you...it was snowing in the middle of July in Wyoming!! Have you ever gone from feeling warm from the inside out in 90 degree weather to freezing your tush off in SNOW the next minute! It was the most bizarre thing EVER and I have never felt so cold in my life! It cleared up later that day to summer weather again...

Ashley said...

Ashley Harper: my worst cold experience was a spur of the moment camping trip in Jackson Hold. It was early June, we only had a fleece blanket and it was a nightmare. My husband help the coleman lantern next to my face for warmth.

My mom has a cabin on Cedar Mountain in Utah. We used to go there the day after Thanksgiving for the weekend as a family. The last time we went, it was so cold that the pipes froze and we had no water in the morning. After that trip, we decided not to go that late in the year any more. It is no fun for the kids to have to stay all bundled up all day while they are insdie. There is no heat. Now, we spend the time as a family in Mesquite at my Mom's house.
