Ring Sling

Ring Sling

This is a ring sling style baby carrier. It's cotton and supportive and not rough, but I recommend breaking it in and washing it before first use to make it even more comfortable and soft. One end has two thick nylon rings. The other is a long "tail" of fabric. You wrap the fabric around your self with the rings at your shoulder and the tail going around your ribs (under other arm) and back up and over the shoulder to meet with the rings. You thread the tail through the rings, put baby in, and tighten the tail. Then you tuck or braid or knot the tail however you want to get it out of your way.

The rings can hold up to 50 kg, which is like 110 lbs, so your back will give out before the sling does and you will be able to carry your baby for a long time! You can use the sling to have baby lying down, sitting up, or even on your back. The weight is distributed ergonomically, so both you and baby will be comfortable and can use the sling for long periods of time.

You can nurse in the sling and use the tail as a nursing cover if you like. The color selections are very nice. I really like the blue stripes one I ordered. The whole thing is easy to wash and stores small (it folds up into a pocket sewn on). There weren't instructions included with the box, but it was very easy to figure out. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #Mamaway

Castile Soap

Castile Soap

This is a 33.8 oz bottle of unscented Castile Soap. The bottle is amber colored plastic with a black lid and snaps open and closed. The soap is a pretty thin liquid, mostly clear (slight yellow) in color and it doesn't really have a smell, but it has a very faint scent of "soap" or "clean." It lathers very well enough and rinses off very easily. It leaves your skin feeling clean and not dried out and it doesn't leave any scent on your skin. You use it by diluting it or adding it to other ingredients to make your own soap. You can add essential oils for scent as well if you prefer.

It has a few simple ingredients, so it is great for sensitive skin. The ingredients are water, coconut oil, argan oil, olive oil, hemp oil, potassium hydroxide, and vegetable glycerin. It's vegan and eco friendly. It's also wonderful for mixing into your own homemade beauty and cleaning products and there are several example "recipes" included on the label. This is great quality, simple, healthy, and the bottle will last you a long time! I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #CoveCastileSoap

Sleep Sack

Sleep Sack

This is a super soft and adorable baby sleeping bag. It does look exactly like in the photos in the ad. It's basically this soft fabric with little bumps on it in whichever color you prefer (blue, green, pink, or purple). I chose green and it's very vibrant and gender neutral. The fabric is sewn into the shape of a bag with the base being wider and the hole being smaller. The hole is lined with elastic, so it will fit your baby snugly. The fabric is light, but warm, so it would be perfect for use most of the year. The fabric is machine washable.

This bag will fit under baby's armpits or later around their waist. There is room inside for kicking, but baby will not be able to kick it off. It will also prevent baby from climbing out of the crib. Once baby is older, they might be able to pull it down with their hands as there are no shoulder straps. It's also very easy to put on and take off, unlike some zippered sleep sacks I have seen. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #RevelaeKids

Notebooks

Notebooks

This is a set of 3 notebooks of 200 pages each. They measure about 3.5 inches wide and 5.5 inches tall. The cover looks and feels like fabric and it's a bit fuzzy to the touch. It's solid, but somewhat flexible. It's very soft and is light brown in color. The pages are cream colored and lined like a journal with the lines not going all the way to the edge. The corners are rounded and the paper is nicer quality than average notebooks. The notebook feels nice and lightweight in your hand. It's a great size for sticking in a pocket or bag. It looks very simple, yet elegant and is gender neutral and versatile in functionality. This would make a very nice gift. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #SamutNote

Packing Tape

Packing Tape

This is a pack of 6 rolls of packing tape and one tape dispenser/cutter. They are the larger rolls (each roll is 55 yards of tape). The tape is completely clear. It is thinner than the expensive brands, but it does work and it does do the job. It is nice and sticky. Finding the edge is difficult, so I recommend folding it when not in use and making sure to use the dispenser. This also keep the tape rolling well and not getting stuck on itself or tearing weird. It does tear by itself sometimes and not straight across, but it stays stuck and I don't care if it doesn't look perfect.

This tape will get the job done. If you want thick, super easy tape, then pay more for the name brand. But if you want to save some money, this is a great deal. Once on the package, this tape won't accidentally come off or anything, so your things will be secure. I use this tape for both moving and mailing with no problem.

Baby Sunglasses

Baby Sunglasses

This is a super adorable pair of baby aviator style sunglasses. They have a lightweight metal frame including the bar over the nose that men's sunglasses have. The nose has little rubber pieces to make it comfortable and so do the ear pieces. The lenses are nice and dark and are made of plastic. They measure about 4.25 inches wide and 4.5 inches deep (from lens to ear).

The sunglasses are for fashion purposes and are not polarized, but they look adorable and some protection is better than none and these do have UV protection. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #Tantino
