First Impressions Fall Line: Review and Giveaway

November 12, 2010 By admin

With Fall in full swing (well, maybe not here in New Orleans, but it’s Fall everywhere else!), it’s time to break out the long sleeves, pants and light jackets. I recently received a gift set (6-9 months, baby girl) from First Impressions, and while our little ones need to be warm, I learned that you don’t have to sacrifice cuteness! About First Impressions:

“First Impressions is a collection of classic clothing for newborns and infants. The collection features sweet, traditional designs, fine fabrics and time-honored details. It is a favorite gift choice, particularly for special occasions. First Impressions also offers charming, everyday clothing for an incredible value. First Impressions collections are available exclusively at over 800 Macy’s stores nationwide and online at macys.com.”

The gift set that I received included an adorable winter dress from the Satin Hanger Collection (perfect for Christmas Eve), a four piece layette set from the Everyday Value Collection and a pink plush teddy bear. The gift set comes boxed very nicely with tissue paper, perfect for gift giving. All of the pieces are well made and the layette set is incredibly soft, too! This is actually the third First Impressions Gift Set I have seen and I have not been disappointed by the quality in any of their collections. I would highly recommend this gift set for the baby on your gift list this year.

First Impressions Baby Apparel: Review and Giveaway

July 14, 2010 By admin

This coming weekend, we are throwing a baby shower in honor of my sister-in-law (don’t worry, it’s not a surprise!). Looking through her registry, there are so many cute items for my soon to be niece that I had a hard time selecting a gift that would be beautiful, functional and unique. I know that my niece will need clothes (as her closest sibling is almost 6 years old), so I was delighted to try out the sets from First Impressions. About the brand:

“First Impressions is a collection of classic clothing for newborns and infants featuring sweet, traditional designs, fine fabrics and time-honored details, with an emphasis on special occasion dressing. The charm and refinement of First Impressions clothing and matching accessories make it a favorite gift choice. First Impressions collections are available exclusively at over 800 Macy’s stores nationwide and online at macys.com.“

The gift set I had the opportunity to sample included an outfit from the Satin Hanger Collection, a five-piece layette set from the Everyday Value Collection and an adorable plush animal. When I opened the box, my eye immediately went to the outfit in the Satin Hanger Collection (which obviously hangs on a sating hanger, ha!). It is the most adorable gray dress with embellishments and white cotton capri pants. The layette set is so incredibly soft and the plush doll finishes off the gift with a cuddly touch!
