I’m not sure what that has to do with a huge discount offer or a giveaway. Just thought I’d share.

DISCOUNT
Our biggest discount offer EVER (in our LONG 2-1/2 year history) is going on now through April 15th.

30% off all orders of $15 or more

Yup. 30% off: coupon code april6blog
My accountant may not be happy about this one.

GIVEAWAY
To go along with our biggest discount offer EVER, we’re having a fabulous giveaway. So fabulous, in fact, that one lucky entrant will win something for her kids and something for herself.

Heck-to-the-yeah!

As our big winner, you will win your child’s choice of a Melissa & Doug Role Play Dress-Up Costume set (value $39.99) and your choice of a customized self-inking stamper (value $39.99). That’s a total prize value of $80!

Good for the Kids is owned, run, and managed solely by myself out of my home as a stay-at-home mom. I love what I do and what I offer to other parents. My philosophy on the products here is to “sell what you know.” Every product available is one I truly believe will be loved by your child or one you’ll find incredibly useful.

Many retailers are raising their prices to keep up with the rising costs of products from manufactures. Unfortunately, we are in the same situation. Darn economy.

But we’re all about spreading the love to our faithful customers, so we’re giving you a 2 week warning on our price increases.

Beginning March 1, we will have to raise the prices on some of our products including those from Nuby, Melissa & Doug, WubbaNub, Vulli, as well as some of our other manufacturers.

Trust us – we HATE having to raise our prices. If it were up to us, we’d offer everything for $1. How awesome would that be?!

Take the opportunity now to get the items you’ve been dying to give your kiddos, your kiddo’s kiddos, or your friend’s kiddo’s kiddos before the prices are raised.

Because you’re extra awesome, we’re offering a 15% off coupon for your orders placed between now and Saturday, February 28th.

We feel the love – don’t you?

Nuby
Sippy cups, BPA Free plastic bottles & cups, and replacement spouts & straws

Melissa & Doug
Safe classic wooden toys for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers

WubbaNub & Vulli
Pacifiers and safe rubber teething toys

Funny you said that!

What? You didn’t say anything? Oh, that was me.

Naming products, children, and eventual Presidents is a task all in its own. Name your new fabulous/must-have/innovative product (or eventual President) the wrong thing, and no one will want to buy (or vote*) for it.

But if give your product (or eventual President) the RIGHT name, you’ll garner the right kind of attention that gets your product sold.

That’s part of the reason why we LOVE the crazy names of some of the products in our store. Really? Who comes UP with these names? Whoever does deserves a pat on the back because they got OUR attention.

WubbaNub

My Royal Heinie

Yup – the ladies behind (ha! ‘behind’) My Royal Heinie actually used the word ‘Heinie’ in their product name. Kudos.

Nuby

“Noooobeee? Nuuuubeee?“
However you pronounce the name, it sounds funny.
Go ahead – no one’s listening – try both pronunciations aloud.
Did you try it? Funny, right?

My Wee Friend

What other name WOULD you give a potty training sticker but something that includes the word ‘Wee’?
