March 31, 2008 | Contests
For the most part, I’m glad that my children are growing older and more self-sufficient. But I still occasionally yearn for the days when they were small and adorable. And didn’t have B.O. Whenever I see an awesome product for the ankle-biter set, I especially find myself thinking, “Hey, no fair! How come they didn’t have that when my kids were little?”
One of my recent favorites are the Zoobie Pets. I like them so much, I sent them an email to ask if they’d be willing to donate some products for giveaway, and they said yes! Hooray, Zoobies are pretty!
Go browse around their site to check ‘em all out, but the upshot is that each Zoobie is a big, cuddly stuffed animal containing a blanket. So you can cuddle up with your pal like a regular stuffy, unlatch the velcro to flatten it out into a pillow, or undo the entire thing to use the blanket. Do you know a child who wouldn’t absolutely love one of these? I don’t. In fact, my nearly-10-year-old is sort of hoping I’ll get her one.
Zoobies retail for $34 apiece, but three lucky Want Not readers will receive their choice of Zoobie Pet at the end of this contest.
To enter, leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, April 6th, 2008. One comment per person, please! Winners to be determined by random number generation and pleasing auras. Go!

March 31st, 2008 at 10:28 am
OK, count me in. I don’t have kids, but I have nieces/nephews. What do you think the upper age limit would be for these?
By the way, I think they are way cute, though in “blanket” mode it kind of looks like they’ve exploded out their butts.
Did I just disqualify myself?
March 31st, 2008 at 10:28 am
my daughter would love a zoobie
March 31st, 2008 at 10:30 am

This would make a great gift for one of my friends children! Hope to win!!!
March 31st, 2008 at 10:40 am
Me, please….. as a suddenly, unexpecetedly, slightly shocked pregnant person, I’m sure this would be just the thing to make me think, “yea baby” instead of “Eek! Baby!”

Psst pleasing auras and random number generator. Over here!
March 31st, 2008 at 11:50 am
Oh no! I knew I should have been cleaning my aura this weekend so that it would be pleasing- but I’m all out of sugar, or salt, or whatever it was I needed! Tarnation! (Someone actually explained this process to me once, but I never did it, so I can’t remember how.)
I hope my aura is somehow pleasing enough, because this would be great for my son who needs to learn to self soothe!
March 31st, 2008 at 11:52 am
My aura is lovely and quite pleasing…but the random number generator hates me! But, still I try!
March 31st, 2008 at 11:55 am
I welcome Zoobies in my home!
They’re all too adorable!!

March 31st, 2008 at 12:11 pm

of course winning would lead to endless arguing over who gets it, but hey….what fun is parenting if you can’t create a little sibling rivalry (as in “who wants to do more chores for mommy?”) every now and again?
March 31st, 2008 at 12:12 pm
My kids are 12 and 8 and I also yearn for the days before B.O. These are so cute! I love the turtle!

March 31st, 2008 at 2:31 pm

March 31st, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Please count me in!
March 31st, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Dear Pretty Mir-
Please pick me. I will be two in July and I adore soft and fuzzy things and animals. And my mama says next time you are having longings for an ankle-biter you can rent me for cheap… and if that doesn’t do it you can take me and my brother to see Santa…. because mommy says that is, “Birth Control with a Capital B.”
Love,
Tuff
