Protection and pizzazz for little hands

Category Contests

I know I owe you a winner from last week’s contest, and I promise to get to that later, but I wanted to get this contest up before I have to run out for a while. (These darn kids, man. So demanding! Drive me to the orthodontist, Mom. Feed me, Mom. Sheesh.)

Anyway! Check out what I got in the mail last week. No, not a baby (I think my husband might take issue with that sort of thing…). Check out the baby’s hands. He’s wearing GuavaMitts, from GuavaKids, which is so new that they’re only just getting set up online. (Until their site opens, you can check them out on Facebook and Twitter, if you’re so inclined.)

So you’re thinking… baby mitts. Big deal. But actually, these are a big deal. First, they’re made of bamboo and organic cotton. Nice! Second, they have velcro closures on the wrists, so that may make them the first baby mitts that baby can’t flail off his little hands. And finally, they’re reversible, with an eye-catching color print on one side and brain-stimulating black-and-white pattern on the other. The pair I have to give away has sort of a mod green print on one side, and black/white circles on the other.

Want to win ’em? Of course you do! First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, September 1st, 2011 for a chance to win. Winner to be determined by random number generation and how many scratches your poor baby has on his face already. But mostly the random number thing.

    Oooooh aaaaah

  2. Golden on August 29, 2011 at 3:45 pm

    oh, those are very cute!

  3. DW on August 29, 2011 at 3:48 pm

    Awww no scratches yet as the baby has not decided to come out yet. But I am sure s/he will be born with plenty of fingernails to scratch him/herself.

    (PS to my baby: we are ready for you now… come out!)

    Thanks Mir!

    I’d love this for a friend who is pregnant! Baby showers are my excuse for continuing to purchase cute baby paraphernalia.

  5. Anna on August 29, 2011 at 3:57 pm

    My SIL is down to the “any day now” time, and I’d love to share these with her.

  6. Heather on August 29, 2011 at 4:00 pm

    Adooooooorable!!!!!! 🙂

  7. Dorothy on August 29, 2011 at 4:01 pm

    These look so cool! I am glad someone finally came up with a solution to this problem. None of the other alternatives work and I hate the poor little baby scratches on those cute faces.

  8. Kay on August 29, 2011 at 4:02 pm

    baby fingernails are like RAZORS, these are excellent…..and cute!

  9. Amanda on August 29, 2011 at 4:08 pm

  13. Jess on August 29, 2011 at 4:24 pm

    Mir, I have two cousins and a sister-in-law who either are expecting or have had a baby very recently–and one sister-in-law had twins! I could really use a spare baby gift. 😉

  14. Mitzi on August 29, 2011 at 4:35 pm

    These will be perfect for my brand new grandson, George!!!

  15. Missy on August 29, 2011 at 4:38 pm

    Eek, I didn’t count the scratches this morning but they’re there…I just can’t keep up with those darn nails!

  16. Kyung on August 29, 2011 at 4:48 pm

    Perfect for my newborn nephew!

    Perfect for the gift stash!!

  22. Debbie on August 29, 2011 at 5:01 pm

    Please enter me. Though I don’t have babies anymore (my youngest is turning 9 next month), I do have a nephew due in October and a niece due in November. I’d love to be able to pass these along to one of them.

  23. ste on August 29, 2011 at 5:34 pm

    My baby boy would rock those mittens!

  24. Brunette on August 29, 2011 at 5:44 pm

  26. lomagirl on August 29, 2011 at 6:02 pm

    I didn’t have any mitts I liked with my first two- maybe these will be a winner with my third!

  27. Dawn on August 29, 2011 at 6:16 pm

    Cute!

  28. Stacey on August 29, 2011 at 6:20 pm

    My little guy is constantly scratching his face…and I can’t cut his fingernails any shorter. We would love these!

  29. jan on August 29, 2011 at 6:57 pm

  34. Kay on August 29, 2011 at 9:08 pm

    My grandson needs these big time.

  35. Holly on August 29, 2011 at 9:25 pm

    These would be great for my SIL….. But I would probably keep them for me & our next baby 🙂

  36. Pamela on August 29, 2011 at 9:39 pm

    It’s not just the scratches on his face, he also scratches the heck out of me when he’s eating. Ouch!

  37. Rebekah on August 29, 2011 at 9:53 pm

    Want them!!

  38. Soraya on August 29, 2011 at 11:03 pm

  41. Elsie on August 30, 2011 at 12:44 am

    My daughter and son-in-law would LOVE to have these for their new baby. They have gone organic on just about everything possible. These would be perfect!

  42. Stacy Reading on August 30, 2011 at 1:05 am

    I would love to win these. I have two sister-in-laws that are expecting babies soon and either of them would love these!

  43. Paula on August 30, 2011 at 3:45 am

    Juiciness to the max. Pick me.

  44. Jen r on August 30, 2011 at 5:27 am

    Baby is 15 hours old (and I can’t sleep)… These would be awesome!

  45. Theresa on August 30, 2011 at 7:30 am

    These would be perfect for my brother and sister in law’s new little one!

  46. Michelle on August 30, 2011 at 8:47 am

    My first grandchild is due in November what a great gift!

  47. DawnA on August 30, 2011 at 9:18 am

    Two new babies due any day in my family! These would make a great gift.

  48. Kassie on August 30, 2011 at 9:22 am

  49. Suzanne H on August 30, 2011 at 9:26 am

    New baby coming soon in our family – would love to add these to their goodie basket!

  50. Jen on August 30, 2011 at 10:46 am

    Due in November with baby #2, and never had luck keeping Gerber mittens on baby #1. Would love to try these!

  51. Mary on August 30, 2011 at 11:29 am

    New grandbaby coming on Saturday!

  52. Venitha on August 30, 2011 at 12:04 pm

    Would be great for a grandbaby I have.

  55. Leslie on August 30, 2011 at 2:28 pm

    Very cute, count me in.

  56. Mar H on August 30, 2011 at 2:44 pm

    I was going to say these would be great for all the baby gifts I’ve been needing lately, but then I saw comment #44 from Jen R – who was commenting with a 15 HOUR old baby – if she is reading wantnot 15 hours after giving birth – I say give them to her! 🙂

  57. Gin on August 30, 2011 at 4:20 pm

    The Baby totally needs this. Don’t make him/her cry!

  58. Nicole on August 30, 2011 at 5:09 pm

    Very cute! Expecting our first child, a girl, this November. I’ll need some of these, right? 🙂

  59. Jarl on August 30, 2011 at 8:32 pm

    That is my son in the pic so I have a little experience with these mitts…they truly are the best infant mitts ever! They do actually stay on and he loved moving his hands around looking at them. Great company with great morals behind everything they are doing! Good luck to all the people trying to win a pair! 🙂

  60. Kelly on August 30, 2011 at 10:00 pm

    If I win, they will be put to GREAT use with my baby #4 due in November!

  61. Kara on August 30, 2011 at 11:35 pm

    Since I have the ultimate faith I will win, I am looking forward to getting these in time for the cold weather. Not for me, though LOL

  62. Becky on August 31, 2011 at 5:21 pm

    Super cute little mitts!

  63. Emily on August 31, 2011 at 5:28 pm

    How cute are those?!!!

  64. Shannon Crandall on August 31, 2011 at 5:30 pm

    My co-worker is going in tomorrow evening to be induced. I’d love to give these to her for her little guy!

  65. EBR on August 31, 2011 at 5:31 pm

    I know I wont win… but Ill enter anwyay!!

  66. MamaChristy on August 31, 2011 at 5:40 pm

    Certainly I could find SOMEONE to give these to, seeing that my baby making days are behind me (and that is something to be happy about!).

  67. Karen on August 31, 2011 at 6:42 pm

    So suh-weet! Want em.

  68. Heather on August 31, 2011 at 7:08 pm

    I know aomeone that could really use those for her baby

  69. Karen on August 31, 2011 at 7:10 pm

    Such a cute idea!

  70. Nancy R on August 31, 2011 at 7:52 pm

    So cute! We’re surrounded by preggo ladies over here, so we’ll have plenty of choices for a ‘good home’ with the many baby gifts we’ll be giving.

  71. RebeccaL on August 31, 2011 at 9:21 pm

    I know a baby who would love those!

  72. Lisa on September 1, 2011 at 12:43 am
