raincoats for kids - Stuff Parents Need

Kidorable, the makers of those too-cute-for-words children’s umbrellas (among other things) have just launched the Dragon Knight collection. All of you parents of dragon slayers and brave knights listen up! From December 5-11, you can use the coupon code DRAGON7 to receive a FREE Dragon Knight umbrella with any order over $20 (be sure to add the umbrella to your cart before using the code so that it works). Um, yeah, that’s an AWESOME deal, and just in time for the holiday crunch…see, last minute gifts can be AMAZING and bargain-priced!

Now that I’ve told you about the awesome deal, let me tell you more about the Dragon Knight collection. We received the rain jacket to review. I’m saving this to give to my nephew when he is big enough for it. I’ve let Darah try it on to see how it looks and it is simply smashing! The hood is my favorite, as it looks like a medieval helmet! I almost can’t stand the cuteness, people. This coat is also made of a new material called PU (polyurethane). It’s softer and lighter than PVC, which is what is typically used for rain coats.

The Dragon Knight collection has a variety of super cute pieces. While the rain jacket is my personal favorite, the umbrella, with its dragon horns and wings sticking out, comes in a close second.

Slay those outstanding items on your Christmas list right now with help from Kidorable, or get stocked up for birthdays in 2012 with this deal!

Disclosure: I received a complimentary product for review purposes. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are strictly my own.

When Darah was a baby, she had the CUTEST collection of towels. Lots of adorable hooded and super soft things; it was so much fun to wrap her in all that cuteness.

Unfortunately, it seems that whoever makes most of the baby towels in this world borrowed notes from the people who make most of the swaddling blankets, and that means that they are WAY TOO SMALL. Darah never was a big baby, but she still outgrew her towels by the time she was just over a year old. RIDICULOUS!

Kidorable, the makers of those insanely cute umbrellas, rain jackets and rain boots, also has a line of kid towels, only they sized them right! You can purchase a small which they will tell you up front will last you until about age 2 (that’s an improvement over most other small towels!), or you can go with a toddler size, which should get you from 3-6.

We checked out the Lucky Cat towel, and it is AWESOME! I can tell now that it will last for several years, both because of its size, and also because of the overall quality of the towel. Yes, the price is higher than what you might pay for a kid’s towel at a big box store, but you are going to get something that will last longer and be twice as cute.

Kidorable towels also come packaged beautifully, in a cute plastic container that only needs to be plopped in a gift bag in order to be ready to go for a birthday party! I love when companies go the distance with every detail, because it makes me much more likely to turn to them for gift-giving occasions. I despise wrapping gifts, and I have a bit of a complex about my packages always looking so unfortunate (and they really do…I almost couldn’t be worse at wrapping). Kidorable makes it easy for your present to shine! 🙂

I also love that the Kidorable website will show you every other product they offer in the same theme that you are considering. For example, the Lucky Cat theme can also be found on an umbrella, jacket, boots, backpack and hangers. It’s easy to put together a really fun collection for someone over time!

Buy it!: Kidorable towels are available in 10 fabulous styles (don’t miss the fireman! SOOO cute!) for $33.00.

Win it!: Oh goody! I get to host a giveaway for the product that put Kidorable on the map….their umbrellas!!!!
