Relay For Life Sponsor: Charm Factory

Charm bracelets are a good way to help remember important events or trips in our lives. They are also a good way to display something that is important to you. I have never owned a charm bracelet before I received one from the Charm Factory.  It was a beautiful Awareness Bracelet that I now wear all the time.

My friends and I are currently raising money to support Relay for Life. This bracelet it a great reminder of how hard we have worked for this very important cause and a reminder of how much more work there is left to do. My bracelet is not only beautiful, but it is also lightweight, sturdy, and made in the U.S. All Charm Factory silver bracelets and charms are .925 sterling silver and free of nickel and lead.

The Charm Factory offers a great variety in jewelry. You can purchase a beautiful bracelet that has already been made or you can create your own. The Charm factory offers 28 different themes, so you are sure to find one that suits your personality and needs. My girls have been looking at all the different choices and can’t wait to build their own charm bracelet for their birthdays. Along with charms and bracelets you can also find affirmation rings, beads, cell phone straps, engraved jewelry tags, pendants, and so much more!

The lovely people at the Charm Factory have joined us in the fight against Cancer.  They have graciously donated an Awareness Bracelet to our Relay For Life Online Auction.  If you love charmed bracelets, you can bid on it starting May 20th.  I would like to encourage you to visit their site to see what other great products they have to offer.   Click Here to see all the fabulous choices!

Join the Charm Factory and Our Other Fabulous sponsors in supporting Relay For Life!  Let's help the world Celebrate More Birthdays!  The Online  Auction will run from May 20th - May 26th.  All proceeds will go directly to the Relay For Life site and products will be shipped from our sponsors.  I HOPE to see you there!

Kidorable Review and Giveaway (With Discount Code)

“In 1997, Kidorable sprung from the minds, hearts and efficiency apartment of Liping and Jonathan Domsky. They proclaimed, "The world needs someone to create children's apparel and accessories that are both functional and fun. We can do that."”   And they did just that.  Kidorable is a fun company that sells umbrellas, raincoats, rain boots, backpacks, towels, scarves, and much more!  All of their items are designed in fun themes for both boys and girls.

Kidorable is currently offering a great deal on their adorable backpacks.  With the code Summer33, you can receive 20% off any backpack style.  My nephews birthday is coming up soon and the pirate backpack, shown above, caught my eye immediately.  He just moved to a new house that has almost 5 acres of land to explore.    He is going to absolutely love this new backpack that is just the right size for him.   He can use it to store his pirate gear while exploring or use it to pack a snack and towel when he goes to the pool.   And his parents won't have to worry about him getting it dirty because it is easy to wash.  

If you don't have a pirate lover at home, don't worry.  Kidorable has 11 other styles of packpacks to choose from.   My girls love the mermaid and butterfly style backpack. 

Buy it: Buy your own Kidorable items today!  Prices range from around $11.50 - $45.00.

Win it:  Thanks to the generous people from Kidorable, one lucky reader of Between the Lines will win their very own backpack.  Simply visit Kidorable and let me know your child's favorite theme.

Relay For Life Sponsor: Illumenature

Please help me welcome Illumenature, as a 2011 Relay For Life Sponsor.  Illumenature is a candle company that offers eco-friendly , hand poured soy candles. All of their lovely smelling candles are made right here in the U.S.

I personally have used their candles. My favorite scent is the Banana Nut Bread. I honestly can say that the scent smells like fresh bread baking in the oven. And what’s even better is that their candles burn slowly and evenly. This makes your candle last even longer!

Banana Nutbread offers a flavorful blend of ripe bananas, freshly ground walnuts, and a hint of vanilla and brown sugar. Banana Nutbread is sure to be a family favorite, and for that, it is available to you year-round.
Illumenature candles are hand poured using 100% soy wax, as well as premium scented oils & color. Our glass jars are made in the USA.
We also offer a recycling program for used illumenature candles. Each used illumenature candle can be returned to us for $1 credit towards the purchase of a new illumenature candle.

 

As an awesome Relay For Life sponsor, Illumenature will be donating two sets of candles for two separate bidders.  Each set will include 2 - 8 oz candles and 1 - 20 oz candle.  The winning bidder will be allowed to choose their own scents.  Swing on over to Illumenature and check out all their wonderful scent choices.  You will not be disappointed.

Father's Day Giveaway From Executive Gift Shoppe!

I am so excited to share a great online store that I discovered a few months back.  The Executive Gift Shoppe “started as a small personalized gift store in Nanuet, NY in 1999 catering to the wedding & corporate gift industry. We built our reputation by providing unique, engraved & personalized gifts at affordable prices. Over the years, [they] have added thousands of new products, many personalized and many that aren't. One thing that hasn't changed is [their] commitment to quality and, more importantly, [their] commitment to customer service."

The Executive Gift Shoppe offers a huge variety of items from leather business card holders, personalized flasks, and even top of the line watches. Browsing through their website, I found so many great gift ideas for Father's Day.  I have three very important men in my life to buy for and Executive Gift Shoppe had something for them all.   For my review item, I chose a personalized 8ounce Satin Finished Stainless Steel  Flask.  I'm not going to share the inscription with you all, just in case a certain Father reads this, but I will let you know that it was perfectly worded and center on the flask.  The quality of the flask was exceptional and will be around for many years of "golf".

I love the great quality and fast shipping guarantee from Executive Gift Shoppe.  With Father's Day quickly approaching, I know where I will be looking for unique gifts for the men in my family.  And thanks to Pete, the generous owner of Executive Gift Shoppe, one of you lucky readers  will have an opportunity to win a Father's Day Gift for that special man in your life. The winner will be awarded a $25 gift certificate. Thanks to the Executive Gift Shoppe for this wonderful opportunity!

Mandatory Entry:  “Like” Executive Gift Shoppe on Facebook and come back here telling me you did.  Winner will have to give their Facebook name for verification.

Relay For Life Sponsor: Softlips

Please help me welcome Softlips, as a 2011 Relay For Life Sponsor.   Softlips has generously donated two of my favorite lip balm sets for two lucky Auction Bidders.   With Softlips, chapped and cracked lips are a thing of the past.  Softlips keeps your lips soft while protecting them from the sun.  

The limited edition Winter 5-Pack of lip conditioners contains- Sugar & Spice, Winter Mint, Sugar Cookie, Sugar Plum Berry, and Mint with a Hint of Vanilla.  My favorites so far are the Winter Mint and the Sugar Plum Berry.  I love how Softlips lip conditioners glide on smoothly and don't leave behind that greasy feeling that other lip balms do.  Softlips smell good, feel good, and look good!

Softlips® offers a complete line of lip care products with a perfect blend of style and function to keep lips soft, moisturized, beautiful and healthy. Known for its unique slim stick design, the brand has an array of flavored lip balms with SPF 20 and a new line of natural lip care products made with 100% natural ingredients - including a certified organic lip balm line. Softlips® now adds a touch of color, with tinted balms and light glosses that go with every skin tone.

I love the Softlips Tinted Lip Balms.  They provide moisture and protection with just a hint of color.  The Tinted Lip Balms come in three different colors: Shell Pink, Natural Honesty, and Coral Charm.  I love that I now always have a shade to match any outfit or mood.  The Tinted Lip Balms go on smooth and provide a light shimmer.  They do not feel heavy or greasy. If you are looking to add a little extra shine, you are going to love Softlips’ Tinted Lip Gloss.  The Tinted Lip Gloss is offered in the same shades as the Tinted Lip Balm, but with a beautiful glossy shine.   I love that the Lip Gloss feels smooth and doesn’t leave you with a sticky feeling.  I also like the design of the applicator.  Often lip gloss wand applicators can get funky and old.  The plastic applicator allows you to have a fresh, clean use every time.  

Join Softlips and Our Other Fabulous sponsors in supporting Relay For Life!  Let's help the world Celebrate More Birthdays!  The Online Silent Auction will run from May 20th - May 26th.  All proceeds will go directly to the Relay For Life site and products will be shipped from our sponsors.  I HOPE to see you there!
