The Swilt Review and Giveaway (Ended)

January 29, 2011 By

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winner, comment #9 from Trish of Just The 6 Of Us!

Sweater + Quilt = Swilt!  The Swilt is a super-cozy fleece lined sweatshirt with a hidden twist! The site calls it a sweater but to me it’s a sweatshirt because of the material. Either way, you get a thick outer garment with a front pocket, a hood, and a roomy fit that goes easily over a short or long sleeved shirt. The twist is that attached to the middle of the Swilt with two buckles is a warm blanket made of the same material, AND it even has a pocket for your feet!


The Swilt is really a revolutionary product, like nothing else I’ve seen anywhere. I am ALWAYS cold, no matter the time of the year. When I sit on the couch to write a blog post or watch TV, I always have a blanket over my legs and feet. When I set up my work area down in our basement, I took a couple of blankets down with me so I could stay warm while I work down there. Thanks to the Swilt, I can stay warm downstairs, and if I need to run upstairs for something, my blanket comes with me!
There are other “wearable blankets” on the market, the ones that have the built-in sleeves, but the Swilt is unique because it’s actually a wearable piece of clothing AND a blanket.  You get a thick, soft sweatshirt that will keep you warm any time, in Burgundy, Blue, Grey, and Camo. It comes in two sizes – Large, and “Smedium” which is bigger than small but smaller than medium. That’s the one I received for review and it fits perfectly.

Unclip the buckles and down comes the blanket, and it also has a cool extra feature! At the bottom of the blanket is a foot pocket that is soft fleece inside and water resistant nylon on the outside. What’s great about that is while it keeps your feet warm, the nylon protects the bottom of the Swilt (and your feet!) from dirty floors at home or in the bleachers at your favorite sporting event. You can see it in the image at the top of the post.

Want to try a Swilt for yourself or give one to someone special? Thanks to Mr. Tennelle, I get to give a Swilt away to a lucky MomReviews reader!

    Shirts That Go – Vehicle Themed Shirts For Kids

    July 6, 2010 By

    Who says girls can’t wear shirts with planes and trains and trucks on them? Not me! When Shirts That Go contacted me about doing a review, I showed their shirt choices to my 4.5 year old daughter and she pointed to the jet airplane shirt and said “That one, Mama!”  Shirts That Go promptly sent us the shirt, which arrived in a sturdy cardboard box ready to wear.

    What makes Shirts That Go shirts unique is that the design is HUGE on the shirt.  You get an incredible amount of detail in a bright, vivid, eye-popping design. Shirts That Go currently has these designs available, in even sizes for ages 2 to 12:

    • Red Fire Truck
    • Blue Fire Truck
    • Diesel Train
    • Steam Train
    • Electric Train
    • Jet Airplane
    • Fighter Jet
    • Tractor Trailer
    • Cement Truck
    • Bulldozer
    • Motorcycle

    Now, you might be thinking “22.00 for a t-shirt? Have you lost your mind?”, but let me explain why it’s worth paying that price. First, the shirts are made from 100% US ring spun cotton and are MADE IN THE USA by American Apparel, and are also printed here in the USA. Second, shipping is FREE. That’s right, I said free shipping!  Third, you get an automatic discount for buying more than one shirt! Buy two shirts, save 10%. Three shirts, 15%, and four or more shirts, save 20%.  No special coupon codes are required. It’s all explained on the Shirts That Go pricing page.

    For a shirt that looks as good and is as comfortable as the jet plane shirt Kaitlyn is wearing in the above photo, that was made and printed here in the USA, I think $22 is a great deal. Please consider supporting Shirts That Go by visiting their site and purchasing a shirt (or two!) for your child today!

    Garanimals Summer Collection Now Available

    May 20, 2010 By

    This is my 4.5 year old daughter Kaitlyn wearing her new outfit from Garanimals. She was so busy whirling and twirling around the house yelling “I got pretty clothes!” that I could barely get her to stand still long enough to snap this photo!  She LOVES how easy the top and skort are to get on, the soft fabric, and the bright yellow color. I can barely get her to wear anything else!  Here’s some info from the PR person about Garanimals:

    Garanimals Summer collection is just as fun as the season itself! With bright printed or solid skorts and striped or solid tops for girls, and sporty tees and cargo shorts for boys, newborns and toddlers will be ready to play it cool all season long.   Available exclusively at Walmart, Garanimals clothing is known for being durable, affordable and easy to coordinate. And the best part is, Garanimals has some of the best prices – only $3.50 per piece (varying slightly in different markets) – offering the most attractive and affordable clothing in kids fashion!

    Garanimals were introduced in 1972, the year I was 5, and I clearly remember my Mom picking me up a few separates. The new summer collection for 2010 features terrific colors and designs that kids are going to want to wear! For girls, look for sunny yellow, bright pink, juicy orange, and white. An orange top with white hearts and a big hot pink peace sign coordinates with orange and white striped pants or with a pink skirt. In toddler boys, look for lime green, light blue, navy blue, and yellow, with monsters, rocket ships and submarines. And those are just a few examples of the adorable pieces available! Each collection has the same animal on it’s tag, so you can be sure the pieces will go together.

    Garanimals clothing is available in six size groups: Newborn Boys, Newborn Girls, Boys Infant & Toddler, Girls Infant & Toddler, Boys 4-8 and Girls 4-8. Look for the new summer collection from Garanimals at a Walmart store near you or from the Garanimals Brand Shop on Walmart.com.  And thank you to Garanimals for sending Kaitlyn this outfit; you can be sure we’ll be purchasing more of the clothes from the summer collection!
