Holiday Gift Guide 2017: PLANET BOX

PLANETBOX is HERE!!! The excitement is real people!!! You need this on your Holiday Shopping List!! My kids are pumped but I'm seriously over the moon! We have been Planet Box fans from day one! I believe in quality products... I cant tell you how many lunch bags and lunch boxes we have went through with Sophia in the past 3 years! Too many to count, you know the ones at Target and such, for a bargain price of $20 and you end up having to buy one every 4-5 months! PlanetBox will last a lifetime! These are built to last, the quality is amazing! They are stainless steal, no harmful chemicals like the plastic ones! These Eco friendly lunchboxes are superbly built. The design is flawless and allows my little grazing toddler plenty of options and the real kicker THE FOOD DOES NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER!! I hate to admit it but as an adult I'm the same way hahaha! So many different storage options in the Rover Lunch Box that I can pack it full of healthy food!!

Where are those honest momma's...have you ever forgot your kids lunch box in the car after a crazy summer day playdate....only to find it a WEEK later with a rancid odor from your rotten (in my case) tomato and hummus roll ups, strawberries and yogurt! The plastic lunch box held that odor even after two washes through the dishwasher!! In the trash it went.... Not with PlanetBox! These stainless steel boxes do not retain odor! Heck YES!! oh and did I mention DISHWASHER SAFE!!!

Sophia's Love for things runs right into her lunch bag and lunch box choices! Last year when we decided on a lunch bag from another company it took weeks to decide only to receive it and 1 month later have her no longer into unicorns....bye bye lunch box! I never have to worry about that with PlanetBox... they have really thought of it all. PlanetBox has customizable magnets for every interest...you can even download your own pictures! My little are huge into cats and fairies so they will be interchanging between the two of them! Next year and the year after when school starts we will be picking new magnets and her lunch box will get a fresh new look! Can you imagine...only having to replace the magnets instead of dumping more and more money into lunch boxes every year!! Genius!!!

Check out ours

This holiday season PLANETBOX is a MUST HAVE!!! For you, for family, for everyone you know! Give the gift that will last and be used for years and years to come! PLUS FREE magnets with every lunchbox order!

If you are still contemplating "Why PlanetBox" here are a few other signs from the peeps over at PlanetBox to show you THEY ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!

"We take "non-toxic, non-leaching, safe from BPA, phthalates, and lead" very seriously – in fact, it’s why we designed PlanetBox! We don’t think you will find safer products on the market than ours.
This isn’t your childhood flimsy tin lunchbox. Our high quality stainless steel is warrantied for 5 years, and has been known to survive getting thrown off the school bus (not that we recommend that).
PlanetBox lunches create a whole lot less trash, which should help you sleep better knowing you’re doing your part to help the planet for future generations."

Stay Tuned for the Highly Requested, "What my Toddler EATS!" I will be doing weekly, easy and healthy menus!!

Estella NYC

It's November I can officially start talking Holidays!!! I've started gift shopping and I am head over heels in love with a few companies and I wanted to share with you all!! Today I want to talk about Estella!!! I was so excited to work with this company not only because of the adorable Quality clothes but because of who they are and what they stand for!! You know I'm a sucker for the good ones!! I'm smitten with Estella's NYC themed items. We received the Pretzel and I cant even... Well just take a peek...

It is super soft and wash after wash looks like the day I opened it! Most of you that have been following from the get go know I love Organic cotton...Estella uses GOTS certified organic cotton,  This means that it is safe for babies, the earth and the people who work on the fabric. 

Estella's newest organic baby gifts include printed one-piece bodysuits with graphic prints, unique lovey security blankets, organic baby gifts, and more.  In celebration of the Olympics, Estella features it's Sports rattles including tennis, basketball, barbell, sneaker blanket and Kat sporty doll.

Estella's graphic organic cotton pretzel baby one-piece is a must-have for the foodie baby! It's made with a soft cotton and includes snaps between the legs that make diaper changes a breeze. Pair it with the organic pretzel baby rattle for a complete gift set!

• GOTS certified organic 100% cotton with safe eco-friendly dyes.
• Machine wash, tumble dry low.
• Ethically made in India.
• Usually ships within 24 hours.

I LOVE an amazing success story, especially when there is such heart behind it! Here is an intro to the masterminds behind the brand,

"Hello, my name is Jean Polsky and I own Estella with my husband, Chike Chukwulozie. I was born here in New York City and have been interested in fashion since I was old enough to figure out how to dress myself.  My first job was an internship at the beautiful Bergdorf Goodman and professionally speaking, I haven’t strayed far.

In 2002, Chike and I opened Estella, an eclectic, high-end designer baby and children’s clothes boutique in New York’s Village.  The concept behind Estella was to bring the amazing, artisan-inspired kids’ clothing we saw scattered across Europe here to New York.  In 2002, luxury children’s fashion in NYC was synonymous with big box retail, big price tags, and somber, conservative frocks.  We saw things differently.  “Kids have personality,” we reasoned, “their clothes should too.”  Our vision was built on high quality kids’ and baby clothes that were designed by mothers, not corporations.  These creations were full of gorgeous colors, textures and spirit.  Kids loved wearing these clothes and parents loved owning them.

Our retail business blossomed over the course of 11 years.  We were humbled by the response from the press, celebrities and all our customers: Estella appeared in the New York Times, Vogue, Elle, The Today Show, People Magazine, US Weekly, InStyle and numerous other press outlets.
"When he's looking for inspiration, Mizrahi heads to Estella ... 'It sounds totally random, I know, but I adore the incredible color sense. They never get too twee the way they do in other kids' stores--it's very eclectic and sophisticated in an exclusively New York way.”  - Designer Isaac Mizrahi on cnn.com.

Over the years, we created various collections of toddler and baby clothes because our customers were asking for them and they did not exist in the market.  Our customers wanted soft, elegant newborn baby clothing so we designed a capsule collection of Estella bamboo baby clothes, which has since been featured on the Martha Stewart Show and in other national press outlets.
Our gift shoppers always wanted that extra something special to include with their baby gifts that would give it the “wow factor.”  Thus, Estella’s organic baby toys, baby blankets, and nursery decor pillows were born.  Our baby gift line has gone on to win prestigious national awards.  Barney’s New York and other luxury baby boutiques picked up the line and demand grew from there.  To cater to this demand and grow our collection, we closed the retail location in 2013 and now sell through specialty baby boutiques, gift stores and on our e-boutique."

These are the type of business that earn my support! I love everything they stand for! The holidays are around the corner... Go shop Estella and get gifts that will really wow the receiver! I love everything they have to offer! Go SHOP HERE, don't forget to use the code SARAH15 to get an extra 15% off! You can also find them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!
