more, more... we want more....

... application uses. We already know how versatile our Sunsnapz mutli-purpose baby blankets are but we love to receive new innovative and interesting ways how to use this unique blanket.
Let's share a few:
Our Maxi blankets fit perfectly over pack n plays and play pens so you can create a save environment for your little ones while you are enjoying the sun.
This handy daddy snapped one Sunsnapz blanket around his boat railing so his baby can take a nap while protected from wind and sun.
Going for a long car ride? No problem. Just snap your Sunsnapz blanket on anything in your car to provide additional sun protection.

We would love to hear from you. Please share your Sunsnapz pictures with us or let us know what ideas you have for this versatile baby item.

Have a great day!

Current favorites of a 2.5 year old girl!

My daughter is growing up so fast and it is a joy to watch her little personality come out. She always has a few things she loves a lot so today I am sharing some of her current favorite things:

1. Curious George (or as she calls him monkey George)

I started recording this show after she first saw it with a friend during a ski trip. I have to admit it is pretty funny to watch. Vivien is so in love with this little monkey that on a recent visit to the library she pulled out a Curious George book which had a monkey puppet with it and loudly announced:" Awww there you are. I missed you Georgie!"

2. Memory game

One of our German friends brought this "Die Lieben Sieben" memory game from my home country a few weeks ago and since then it has been in use every single day. Vivi loves to sort, stack and talk about the cards and it is a nice way to have a little family game night with a toddler. Amazon of course sells a bunch (even one from Curious George) and it's a fun thing to do on a rainy evening.

3. Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn

I am not a big snack eater but I fell in love with this popcorn a year ago on our ride home from the Backstreet Boys concert (aren't you jealous :-) Anyway, my friend bought it a gas station and I couldn't believe how good it was. I hardly buy anything in the grocery store that's not on sale so I waited patiently until this type of popcorn was half off. Vivien and her dad love it so much that I might have to add this item to our regular grocery list. It is a BIG hit in our house.

4. Mermaid crochet necklace

Vivien (like most girls) loves necklaces. I saw this cute mermaid necklace at one of our Sunsnapz retail partners. This crochet necklace would make such a great gift for a little girl. You can find it online at Chasing Fireflies.

We always love to hear from you. What are your little ones big hits right now?
Have a great weekend.

The cat is out of the bag...

We are thrilled to announce that we have a new addition to our current Sunsnapz product line. We partnered up with a great company to now be able to offer baby and toddler sunglasses.

Young eyes are very susceptible to damage from UV rays so they need to be protected from excessive exposure. Many parents came to love our sun protection bandanas and we realized the demand to offer you a bundle that not only protects your little ones heads but also their sensitive eyes.

Our sunglasses come in three colors: black, pink and blue and their adjustable, lightweight, soft and breathable neoprene bands will make sure they stay put on your children's heads. Every pair comes with two straps (0 to 2 years and 2 to 5 years) as well as a cute zippered carrying case. All sunglasses are rated UV400 and block out 100% of both UVA/UVB rays.
Our bandana & sunglasses bundles make a great gift for all children. Please check them out at our Sunsnapz bundles page. Sunsnapz bundles.

Have a great weekend!

St. Patricks day favorites and a special offer.

It is this "green" time of the year again and we wanted to share some creative, beautiful and fun things in the spirit of St. Patrick with you.

1. Wouldn't this be the most amazing St. Pattis Day outfit? Now that Vivi has a tutu I feel like I need to get myself a tulle skirt as well.

2. This is such a great DIY toy idea. If you are not crafty, you can order them on Etsy for $7.

3. We love this shamrock craft idea we found on pinterest.

4. Our Sunsnapz bandanas make a great gift and they come with additional UPF50+ sun protection. Order any Sunsnapz blanket until Monday, March 17th and receive a FREE mint bandana with your order. Enter code "StP14" in your order comments field.

5. This might be the cutest frog ever. Another Etsy find we love.

6. We are crazy about healthy snacks and this "pot of gold" fruit plater is such a cute and easy idea.

How do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Do you have a family tradition? We would love to hear from you.
