Besides learning and networking, BlogHer '10 was about products- especially products for moms and kids. Companies exhibited and handed out tons of new items ranging from baby gear to beauty products. Here were some items that I liked the best (where applicable, I noted what I received personally):
Fisher Price Little People Wheels Stand 'n Play Rampway ($39.99 at Toys R Us). It's big, yes (2 feet tall), but how much fun does this look?
Playskool Weebles 2-Packs ($6.96 at Walmart). There's bigger than I remember them, but they still take me back to the 1970s (Remember the jingle: "Weebles Wobble, But They Don't Fall Down!"). I got a pack for R & S, and also one to donate.
Acclaimed children's author/illustrator Todd Parr was on hand to promote his new, limited edition book "Let's Fix Dinner!" ($7.99) in collaboration with Stouffer's.
Inside one of the "swag bags", I received this Vemayca cosmetic bag ($35). It's a super soft, luxurious fabric cosmetic bag with removable liner and it is perfect for weekend getaways.
Remember I told you about the elegant Ralph Lauren event I went to during BlogHer? We learned all about "RL Gang", a virtual storybook (narrated by Harry Connick Jr.) which combines narrative and shopping and launched just this week. We each got a copy of the hardcover storybook, too.
My favorite item of all was this Vera Bradley Very Berry Paisley Tote ($46). I've already received so many compliments on it. It is the 1st Vera Bradley bag I have ever owned.
There were also a lot products given out for infants and new moms. Since I'm out of that stage, I collected my products and samples together and packed them up in this iCandy Lifestyle Changing Bag ($57.99)--which I got at an event hosted by Mom Trends--so that I could donate them. I included new Fisher Price Happy Days & Nights diapers, Lansinoh diaper rash ointment, and Downy detergent, among other items. This week, I'll be delivering them to Inwood House in my neighborhood, where they can be used by teen moms learning how to take care of themselves and their babies.
Finally, dear readers, I have some fun stuff to give away to YOU!!! Yes, I have stashed some swag to include in some giveaways at this blog. That will take place in another week or so; if you want to be alerted when the giveaway(s) has been posted, e-mail me with "newsletter" in the subject line.
Thanks so much to the BlogHer '10 sponsors, exhibitors, and vendors for introducing us to all of these new products. And my daughter (who turns 7 today!) thanks you especially for the Mint Fudge Creme Oreos and Extra Dessert Delights Sugarfree Gum.
