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!

I remember waking up one morning when we were stationed at Fort Hood, TX and it was beyond cold - I had the heater going, long pj's and house coat snuggled up with the animals and I still couldn't get warm. But I keep telling myself that it had nothing to do with the fact that I had the curtains pulled back so I could see outside all morning - we'd gotten snow! Nope, oculdnt have been that. :)

Jessica Harwood: I was cold last Thursday, the first ultra cold day of this season. I wore a sweater all day. That didn't warm me up. I took a hot shower. That didn't warm me up. I washed the dishes in HOT water. That didn't do the trick either. I only warmed up after I went to work at the temple and they turned the heat up there. Craziness! But I left feeling nice and cozy!

I have been super cold.... when I was a little girl I foolishly decided to wear a skirt and canvas sneakers to school in the middle of winter(so I'd look 'cool')... my sister and I had always been competitive with our 'fashion' and I guess she thought I looked better than her so she decided to ruin my outfit by dumping her water bottle out on me when we were headed for the bus... It was so cold that by the time I got on the bus my feet were not wet anymore they were frozen, my skirt was so stiff it barely bent as I climbed up the stairs on the bus. I was sooooooooo cold I couldn't think. By the time we got to the school I was on fire from the cold and thaw effect. I ended up in the hospital with hypothermia :( I am not terribly fond of the cold weather anymore!

Lacee DeG said...

Lacee DeGraffenried: I wore a backless dress to senior ball..no cute dressy coat to wear...so I didn't wear one. My date took me on a downtown SLC walking tour and we looked at the Christmas Lights at temple square. NO COAT IN DECEMBER IN A BACKLESS DRESS!! I should've been more modest I guess!

Needless to say, I hit nearly every one of my targets even w/ frozen fingers and frozen toes (in dress shoes?!)

Anonymous said...

Teena Reyes: The coldest I've ever been? Okay, in 1992, I was 15 & I went with some friends to see Def Leppard in concert. They had been my F A V O R I T E band since I could remember! It was the middle of December in the middle of the Midwest & I didn't want to wear my jacket inside because I didn't want to have to carry it around everywhere. (i was wearing a mesh top with a tank top underneath ~ remember THOSE? SO 90's!) Anyway, they made us stand outside for over an hour before they opened the doors (can't remember why) & I got walking pneumonia & it was TOTALLY worth it!
