Because It’s Christmas Kids & Charity Giveaway Begins

Today we are kicking off our Christmas giveaways that we are doing as a partnership with Alyson from 3 P’s in a Pod with an intro post about the charities we are supporting and some basic info on our giveaways.

The first charity we are supporting is near Alyson in Texas. It is the Relief Nursery of Collin County and is located in Plano, Texas. The goal of the Relief Nursery of Collin County is to strengthen families and prevent child abuse.

The second charity we are supporting is near me in Indiana. It is the Household Pantry at the First United Methodist Church in Lowell, Indiana. The Household Pantry provides food and other items for low-income families in the area.

We will have more detailed information about these 2 charities in the coming weeks.

Tomorrow we will be starting our giveaways. We have over 40 individual toys to give away and have divided them into 5 different age groups and created “prize packs.” We will be taking entries for these prize packs over the next 3 weeks or so. Almost every day we will be “unwrapping” a new gift from the prize packs and will be taking entries until Nov. 30th. On Dec. 1st we plan on awarding the prize packs!

The 5 prize packs are as follows:

1. 4 toys for roughly a 9-18 months old age range (boy or girl): total value ~ $147
2. 5 toys for roughly a 2-3 years old age range (boy or girl): total value ~ $90
3. 14 toys (for roughly a 5 year old (more geared towards boys): total value ~ $260
4. 10 toys for roughly a 6 year old (more geared towards girls): total value ~ $220
5. 11 toys for roughly a 7 year old (more geared towards girls): total value ~ $190

And the wonderful sponsors we have lined up are also donating the exact same prizes to be divided up between the charities we have listed above! We have over 40 individual toys valued at approximately $900 going to charity!

When we set out to do a Christmas giveaway we started with the intent to find toys that will help inspire kids creativity and encourage their imaginations to flourish in a more natural way. We searched for toys with a message, toys made from natural and organic materials, toys that encourage pretend play, and toys that will last and create lasting memories. But most importantly, we sought out toys that kids would just simply have a great time playing with.

We hope everyone is as excited as we are! Remember, you will earn extra entries for all the giveaways by posting our Because It’s Christmas button on your sidebar.
