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 winner of the Car Seat Cozy from Stranded Designs will be announced Thursday, October 8th. Please visit us tomorrow to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaway for the day. Thanks!

The last time I was really cold was this morning. I was walking over to my local college for a job interview, and wasn't dressed nearly warm enough (and vainly not wearing a toque because I didn't want to muss my hair ;), and the wind started howling around me, and before I knew it there were snow flurries! The first of the season. By the time I got to the college my ears were numb and red and so were my hands.

I warmed up after awhile in the college, but then had to walk home and froze up all over again.

Nancy said...

Nancy Randle: last year in December we went to Vegas for the weekend. We were in a rush when we left and I thought I turned the heater down -- I turned it OFF. It was 52 degrees in our house when we got back (I was lucky the pipes didn't freeze!) and I don't think I have EVER been that cold. Shivering in a steamy bathtub is really not fun. :D

I froze my little butt off last weekend while our company was catering at an event in a barn. No..the barn was not heated and there was snow on the ground...brrr. Had to keep the cooked whole pig in my running car for 2 hours so it wouldn't get cold!!

Courtney said...

Courtney Dairman: We went on a cruise during winter one time but we were leaving out of FL and going to the Carribean. When we got back home waiting at the airport I was so cold because I was still dressed like it was summer.

Raschelle Dewey- My husband coaches football and so, as the supportive wife I am, I go to everyone of them. Plus, I love football. Sometime it gets to be 20-30 degrees. Plus, in Oklahoma, the wind goes right through you! There was one time, we were watching a game, it started to snow, then sleet and the wind was blowing so hard. I kept saying, "I don't think I have been, or will ever be this cold again." Hopefully, I was right!

I lived in Canada (near Winnipeg) for two winters. Once, when it was minus 50 or so, I walked out the door without my scarf covering my face and INSTANTLY felt my nose hairs prickle into little icicles. After inhaling just one breath of that frigid air, I started uncontrollably coughing. It was surreal.
