Fairy-Gram: Review

November 23, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

A Fairy Gram will not only bring a smile to my daughters’ faces, but foster a love of pretend play and encourage a creative spirit.

One pink Fairy-Gram (including a Fairy tutu, fairy wings, fairy ribbon wand, fairy halo and two butterfly clips beautifully packaged and gift wrapped), and one 4 year old who has always wanted to fly like a fairy! About Fairy-Gram:

“Fairy-Gram.com delivers fairy outfits directly to little girls who dream of being a fairy. Imaginative, make-believe play allows children to practice social roles and develop empathy, impulse control, and a spirit of cooperation. Playing dress-up is one of the most creative activities. But there’s more to just changing outfits when kids dress up. With simple role-playing, your child can absorb a lot of knowledge about the world and people around them. Children who make up plots and characters through role-play not only smile more, but are engaged in activities that build a stronger sense of self-confidence. Child development experts agree that dress-up play not only stimulates imagination, it can also be tracked to improved vocabulary and social skills.

Fairy-Gram.com was founded in 2009 by a stay-at-home Mom and her 5 year old daughter. From age 2+, her daughter was always in an outfit, from princesses, to ballerina’s to fairies. Fairies were her favorite and therefore, Fairy-Gram.com was founded, directly from the heart of a 5 year old little girl.”

Both of my daughters absolutely LOVE playing dress up! They will find my old clothes, princess costumes or old shoes and create a whole fantasy world, but when the dress up costume is PINK and has WINGS….oh my, they are in HEAVEN! The Fairy-Gram arrived at our home pretty quickly and was packaged beautifully. It was fun to see Lily’s face as she opened the package especially for her. As she pulled out the wings, tutu, crown, wand and barrettes, she could hardly contain herself! We HAD to play dress up immediately!

Lily began twirling, jumping, fluttering and flying around my living room for a solid hour. She was definitely in love! I thought the wings and tutu were well made and fit both my toddler and my almost 5 year old daughter. The crown and wand are made of a ton of matching ribbon and equally as cute. Lily liked that the ribbons flowed down her back “like a cape!”

I just love the idea of a Fairy-Gram! For $35.95, you can delight the little girl in your life when they receive the magic of a Fairy-Gram addressed just to them! I think this would make a wonderful gift for family members who are out of town for the holidays. Take a look around Fairy-Gram and check out all of the great colors you can choose from! If your decide to purchase, use code SHIPFREE to receive FREE shipping on your order!

My Princess Party to Go: Review and Giveaway

October 6, 2009 By admin 378 Comments

My Princess Party to Go will provide busy Moms with quality and affordable options for otherwise pricey birthday parties. The party ideas and favors will also encourage pretend play among party goers.

One Oh So Cute Diamond Cut Tiara and Unicorn Set for Aubrie (my 18 month old), one Princess Wand and Tiara set for Lily (my 4 year old), two pink tutus and my two excited princesses. About My Princess Party to Go:

We offer our customers a tremendous value on our hand picked Princess Party “Must Haves”

Lily’s 5th birthday is just around the corner (gasp!) and she has mentioned wanting a princess party on more than one occasion. Honestly, I have tried to steer her away from this type of party for several reasons:

1. I am just not creative enough to come up with princess games, costumes, treat bags, etc.

2. How on Earth am I going to find time to plan and execute a party like this?

3. It sounds expensive.

4. How do I incorporate boys in a princess party?

So, when Princess Party to Go contacted me to do a review, I was thrilled to check it out! What I found made all of my apprehensions about hosting a preschool princess party melt away. Your “Fairy Godmompreneur” will send you exactly what you need to host a successful party from game suggestions, costumes, tiaras, party favors and even ideas for boys, this company does it ALL! For example, for only $175, you can purchase a “Princess and Her Knight Party Package” including dress up costumes for boys AND girls (8 guests), 8 goodie bags, 8 craft projects (unicorn or dragon), gold coin game, boa for limbo game, tatoos, 3 rings for a sword game, dragon puppet, and 8 jester balls!

What I love about these packages is that you not only get the dress up costumes (which each guest gets to keep!), but you also get the party games and party favors delivered directly to your doorstep! Send invites, open the box, and poof….PARTY MAGIC! For a busy Mom, I feel like a queen! And the best part? The packages are completely affordable!

We received two party favors: tiara and wand set ($4.25 a piece) and tiara and unicorn set ($3.99 a piece). Both favors were beautifully packaged and completely ready to hand out to party guests. The tiaras had attached combs that held the tiara in place even on my 18 month old. The unicorn was precious, too! Aubrie carried it around all night!

Overall, I loved the My Princess Party to Go website. The “Fairy Godmompreneurs” have wonderful ideas to bring your princess party to life including way to entertain the boys. You can purchase party packages that include everything you need to host a successful party. There are several themed packages to choose from including Princess and Pirates, Fairy and Wizard and a Pretty in Pink Princess Party. Don’t need a complete package? You can order tutus, tiaras or party favors separately!

Do you have a princess in waiting? Trying to plan the perfect birthday party? My Princess Party to Go has offered one lucky not so blog reader a $50 gift card to jumpstart your party plans!
