GIVEAWAY: $75 Shopping Spree from Zutano!

September24

Eeeek! It’s Zutano, Y’all! I am beyond excited to announce this week’s giveaway . . . the final one in our month of giveaways! You all know I love Zutano, right? Literally, about 2/3 of my baby’s wardrobe is Zutano.Â They have been kind enough to offer one of my readers a $75 gift card to spend in their online store. Their online store features their Itzy Bitzy line, which comes in two sizes, from 4-8 pounds and 9-13 pounds. Perfect bring-home-the-baby from the hospital outfits — and beyond! (My little one lived in his footies for the first few months of his life.) In addition to the generous prize, I also got to ask the founder, Uli Belenky, a few questions. I’ll post my interview here tomorrow.

GIVEAWAY RULES

1. To enter, go check out Zutano’s Itzy Bitzy Boutique and report back here with a comment on your favorite Zutano outfits or accessories.

2. To gain one more entry, follow us on Facebook and leave me a comment telling me that youâ€™re a follower.

3. To gain yet another entry, follow Zutano on FacebookÂ and leave me another comment to let me know. They have a great FB page!

Giveaway is open to U.S. residents only. Entry deadline: midnight PST, Wednesday, September 30, 2009. The winner will receive a $75 gift card to Zutano’s online store. The winner will be selected using Random.org and announced on Thursday, September 30.

I am seriously obsessed with Zutano. They make such great, vibrant, bold, graphic prints. Totally appeals to my inner designer. They come out with over 20 new patterns a year. It’s easy and fun to mix and match their prints, stripes and solids. Here’s my little bean in some choice Zutano clothes. I just stocked up on new prints for fall (love the moss stripe!) and am already formulating my plan on what to mix, what to match, what to layer and where to take him to show off his cute clothes!

Two days old

Two months old

Three months old

I love the itzy bitzy stuff – it’s all so colorful and cheerful. I will use them as my source for newborn gifts from now on – an adorable selection of UNIQUE clothing and accessories. No worry about people getting duplicates.

She’s no longer itzy bitzy, but my granddaughter will love some of their “older” things – I especially like the cozies because they’re made out of cotton and know they will keep her warm during the NY winders.

Why do I love Zutano? Because their stuff is super soft, high-quality and incredibly cute. I am drawn to the varieties of pink available at Zutano; it’s easy to find pastels for baby girls everywhere, but not so easy to find bright, beautiful, vibrant pinks. Zutano to the rescue! My 10 week old daughter has a few Zutano pieces, but she would LOVE some more! Our current fave-rave is the Sugar Blossom long-sleeve wrap onesie, and all the coordinating pieces, of course!
