Giveaway Day is Here!!!

I love the idea of paricipating in Giveaway Day hosted by Sew Mama Sew.  In case you missed it, head over there to see what other goodies are being given away. They will be listing all the blogs and sites with giveaways. 

As for me I'll be giving away a CUSTOM MADE personalised baby short sleeved bodysuit/onesie a little like the ones below. 

The winner will get to choose either a pink or blue one.  The size is size 000 (0-3 months/6kg/62cm). The pink one will have a funky heart emblem and the blue one will have a funky star emblem.  I think I'll be able to get up to 6 letters on this size for the name.  Small names work really well :) !!!



The giveaway is supposed to be closed and drawn on the 6th December, but I'm on vacation until the 8th, so mine will be open until 9pm Western Australian time on the 8th December and the winner will be announced on the 9th in the morning (probably evening of the 8th in the US!)

So what do you have to do to be in with a chance of winning.....
  1. Leave me a comment in this post, telling me what was the best gift you got for your baby or what is the best present you have ever given to celebrate a newborn.
  2. To get another chance at winning, become a follower of my blog and let me know in another comment that you are a follower!
I'll then randomly select one winner.


I'm happy to ship internationally!!  I will contact the winner to see if they want pink or blue and to get the name, so be sure there is some way of contacting you on the link!

What if you don't win, but still want one!! No worries, I'll be opening an Etsy shop in February selling these and others like them.  Why not bookmark me or Follow me using the link in the side bar.  Here is the link to what will be my shop: http://www.sosewjo.etsy.com/.

Good luck and thanks to SewMamaSew for hosting! What a brilliant idea!

  2. I am so glad to be the first to comment!!! I hope this helps with my chances. Think the best gift a gave newborn was knitted gifts. I made booties, a bib, a binky holder and I can't remember what else. I know I blogged it.

    I would like a blue onesie!! I just delivered a preemie boy in September and he's growing fast! Plus, Dec. 9 is my birthday. Perfect gift to be winner on my birthday and gift for my son, ERIC!!!

    The best baby gift I received was a handmade quilt made by my mother-in-law. She made a beautiful quilt for each of my girls. The most practical gift was a Kiddopotamus zipper sleeper sack. It was so great during the early, cold, no-blankets-on-newborn months.

  34. The best thing I've gotten for our new little man was a pair of Robeez boots - they are so cute and they make short pants look the right length and keep long pants from covering his feet. Perfect for getting extra wear out of all those cute little outfits!

  44. My nicest quilt I ever made any of the grandchildren was the one I made nearly a year ago...I don't know the name of hte pattern...it was drafted from a quilt I saw online. It turned out beautiful! I am so proud of that quilt. As for the onsie, I don't know which to choose...I do have a grandbaby coming in the spring and we might find out the gender this month...if you could wait...if not, I'll pick the pink one I guess with LOVE as the letters...or do you have other suggestions other than names?

  50. what cute onesies! A gift that I love to give newborns is a cute little security blanket... I also like to make a scrapbook of what was going on on the day they were born (newspaper, etc...) so when they get older they will know what it was like when they were born.

  51. The best gift my wee one received was the generous help of my friends who delivered dinner but left us alone together to bond.

    ReplyDelete
  52. This would be perfect for my little nephew. And his name is only 4 letters long.

    I think a special baby blanket is a great newborn gift. I made one for my baby that we both love (which I think is important--no ugly teddy bears here!). We used it for nursing, and now it's in his crib. Even I like to cuddle up with it.

    ReplyDelete
  53. the best present we've received is 8 weeks of cloth diaper service when our twins were born!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I think one would look great with Linus on it! And he would look so cute!

    I am planning on making a quilt but I made some great blocks and they came out great!

  55. The best gift I received for my little ones were the handmade items. Two knit blankets and some great sweaters.
