HipFits Backpack Hangers Review and Giveaway

HipFits

HipFits Backpack Hangers are stylish accessories. They are plush, dress shaped hangers that dangle on your pocket books, book bags, diaper bags, or key chains. There are 21 dresses to choose from. I received the Cotton Candy Dress, Birthday Dress, Sweetheart Dress, and the Sparkle Dress.


HipFits Sweetheart Dress Packaging

Each box has a poem on the back. This is a really cute idea for the children going back to school. You can give them a little first day back gift or maybe each time they get an A on a test. A little pick me up could mean all the difference to a child or teen in school. These are not just for kids though. Ladies, you can put them on your purse or key chain, to add a little fun to your outfit.


HipFits (back of dress)

This is what the back of the dress looks like. It has a little tag telling your the name of the dress. If you give it a squeeze, it feels like a hard gel. The outside fabric is very soft.


HipFits Cotton Candy Dress

Let me tell you why this Cotton Candy dress is special. There are 3 dresses in the collection that are for charity. It makes me happy when brands and businesses give back or give to a charity. Each dress cost $9.99 and for every Cotton Candy dress, Sweetheart dress, and Taffy dress that is purchased, $3.00 will be given to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. BCRF is a nonprofit dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research. Besides being a super cute dress, the money goes to a good cause.


Birthday Dress

The Birthday Dress would make a cute gift. Dare I say it, for someone's birthday.


Sparkle Dress

This one is my favorite out of the four. Purple is my favorite color. I put this one right on my purse.
I love how each dress is different, because we are all unique and special in our own way. We each have our own style. 

Time for the fun! You have a chance to win 4 HipFits (randomly chosen). Fill out the rafflecopter form below. All entries are optional. You could do one or all of them. This giveaway is open to the US and 18+. The prize will be mailed from the sponsor.

The Winner is Audra. Congrats!

Zing Firetek Bow Review

Zing Firetek Zeon Bow

The Zing Firetek Zeon Bow is fun to play inside and out. The arrows light up! You can play during the day or night. We love the fast load loops. They make it easy to fire away.


Firetek Bow by Zing Toys

This bow came with three arrows. Each arrow has a switch that you can turn on and off. It lights up for night time play.


Target practice

I made a target on our chalk board door. My husband and son had a good laugh at my drawing. My son told me it wasn't that good of a bulls eye. Oh, the honesty of children. I told them it was just for fun. You can see where the arrows landed. The arrows have suction cups on them. It will stick to the walls.


Arrows Light Up

The Firetek bow comes in different colors. This is a fun toy for both boys and girls. Both my husband and I enjoyed it also. I want to bring it outside with us and see how far the arrows go. Christmas and the holidays are coming up soon, Santa may want to stock up on these. These also make a good birthday gift.

Another added bonus is that it helps with fine motor skills and strengthening hand muscles. Since you have to pull back and aim. My son has weak arm muscles and used to receive OT therapy. I think this toy is good for him to use. 

Do you know someone who would enjoy this toy?

Decorate With Silk Plants

Phalaenopsis Orchid Silk Plants

When it comes to indoor flowers and plant growth I am known to have a black thumb. I can't even keep the cactus alive indoors. For me, silk plants work really well around the home and office.
People may think fake plants won't look good but they do blend in nicely. My husband took them to work and put them around his office. His coworkers and clients always compliment him on how calming his office is and a place of serenity. The orchids look real from a far. I think they give it a nice touch. 


Silk orchids from Silk Plants Direct

He tried putting them in different locations. Here they are next to another "fake" plant. I like when he has them spread out. We thought the water feature was cool too. The water looks real! 

These orchids came in a set of 4. You can find them here. Silk Plants Direct has a wide range of flowers, plants, and trees. They even have wedding floral arrangements. You could use this as decoration. They make great gifts for us black thumb people. They also sell containers. If you get separate stems you could mix and match and put them into fancy containers to put around your home. 

We were very pleased with Silk Plants Direct and would buy other decor from them. 
Have you ever decorated with Silk plants before? Would you try using them in your home?
