HOLIDAY GIFTS THAT GIVE BACK: DANCING DARLINGS BY ZUBELS + DANCING DARLING DOLL #GIVEAWAY #MBPHGG18

Thanks to Zubels for providing me with product for this post. All thoughts are my own.
As a mom, I have a soft spot in my heart for children's toys and dolls. I just can't help it. I absolutely love to look at toys and dolls when we step into a retail store and then begin to ponder whether or not my child would enjoy said toy or doll. Every now and then, I come across a brand that doesn't require playing guessing games. Zubels is one of those brands. They have been delighting the kids in my family with their exquisite dolls for several years, and just when I think they can't get any better, they show me that they can.
Zubels are so much more than just dolls...

If you've been following MBP for a while, you've probably seen posts from me, and from Steph about Zubels. In fact, I just shared about an adorable Football Player doll by Zubels a few weeks ago. Zubels is family-owned, and they've been creating gorgeous soft dolls and toys for children for several years. Both of my kids have favorite dolls from Zubels, and while I love them for their beauty, their quality craftsmanship, and their price point, I also love them because my kids love them.

Meet the Dancing Darlings!

Oliva, a Ballerina Dancing Darling Doll by Zubels
This beautiful doll is named Olivia, and she is part of the new Dancing Darlings collection by Zubels. Olivia is just so lovely! She is absolutely everything a little girl dreams of having in a ballerina doll. Olivia wears white and gold, with a soft and flowy tutu with pom poms. She also wears striped tights and gold lace-up ballet slippers. A golden crown sits atop her brown hair, made of soft yarn.

Olivia is joined by Sophia, a second Ballerina Dancing Darling Doll. Sophia has yellow hair, and like Olivia, wears a lovely tutu and ballet slippers.

Not only are these dolls beautiful, but they are also so incredibly soft! They are just the right size to hug on, cuddle with, or play with. These little beauties are sure to become fast friends with your precious little one.

For every Dancing Darling sold,  Zubels will give a portion of their proceeds to help them achieve their mission! This is so special! I don't know about you, but I love to purchase and give gifts that give back. Purchasing one of these lovely Dancing Darling dolls will be a gift to a special child, as well as to the Children's Hospital of Chicago, and you can be sure that it will also be a gift to yourself!

Baby's First Christmas? Give the Sweet Gift of Zubels organic Cotton Soft Knit Toys

Juliann Newton 
 12/09/2018 10:11PM 

 

This Christmas will be the first for my baby grand daughter, Reylin. She is an absolute joy! She is adorable, and she loves to smile at everyone!

 

Obviously, this precious baby girl has just about every toy a baby would love, thanks to her adoring Mommy and Daddy, Aunts and Uncles, and Grandparents. Regardless, I wanted to get my baby grand daughter something special this year, and I discovered Zubels.

Zubels are Zubels are adorable plush toys that are created with 100% Cotton (some organic) and made with eco-friendly low-impact dyes. They also use minimal packaging to reduce environmental waste. Each Zubel is stuffed by hand making them super huggable and totally lovable, kind of like baby Rey herself. She tends to reach for softer toys that she can just hold. It was a lot of fun to look through all of the adorable Zubels creations on their website. I have always loved mermaids, and when I saw this one (below) I knew I had to have it for baby Reylin.

 

 I chose Pearly Penny the Mermaid for baby Reylin. I love her bright, happy colors!

Pearly Penny loves to swim. Every day she enjoys jumping in and out of the ocean with her friends, the dolphins. Penny and her best dolphin friend, Dolly, try to see who can jump the highest. Making big splashes on the way down is fun too!

 

  • 100% Cotton and we use Eco-friendly dyes.
  • Tested 100% safe by the U.S. Product Safety Commission Standards.
  • 100% lovable & huggable but more importantly…machine washable!
  • We have an excellent exchange & return policy.
  • Handcrafted in the Philippines by artisans. 

I am confident that when my grand daughter opens up her Zubels mermaid on Christmas morning, she will be delighted! I know that Reylin will love this special gift for many years to come!

Zubels Petit Ami Offers Classic Eco-Friendly Purposeful Toys For Kids

I received product from Zubels Petit Ami to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own.

My cousin is expecting her very first child soon and she was thrilled to learn it was a girl.  It’s the first grandchild on both sides of the family for her and her husband so everyone is especially excited.  As we were talking one day, we started discussing toys.  I am a huge advocate for toys with a purpose.  Classic toys that are destined to become heirlooms, passed down to other children in the family.  And while I used to struggle to find toys to fit that description, I’m pleased to say that I’ve discovered Zubels Petit Ami.  They offer some really special toys that fit what I was searching for.

ADORABLE FOOTBALL GIFTS FOR YOUR LITTLEST FANS BY ZUBELS #MBPHGG18

Mommy's Block Party


Thanks to Zubels for the sample. All thoughts expressed are my own.
Football season has arrived, and while we've never really been big football fans at my house in the past, this year, we're all about cheering for our local team, the Carolina Panthers! My son has shown particular interest in football this season, so we're making an effort to catch some of the games and do fun things like 'tailgating at home.' My grandfather-in-law and brother-in-law are both big football fans, so it shouldn't be super surprising to me that my son has picked up on a love for all things football!

Even the littlest fans can have fun this football season, with beautifully crafted dolls from Zubels! We love Zubels soft dolls, toys, and children's apparel. In fact, Bean already has two Zubels dolls which she plays with on a daily basis. Zubels is owned and operated by head Zu-Keeper, Robert Stone. Robert and his brother took over their family business several years ago, and they have a passion for providing families with beautiful heirloom clothing and accessories. They also love beautifully crafted cotton dolls, and now have an extensive selection of over 150 Zubels!
There are so many adorable Zubels dolls to choose from- a perfect doll for every special boy and girl in your life. We have a beautiful princess doll and a Santa doll, which we absolutely love. We're also excited to introduce a handsome little football player to our family of soft dolls this season!
Bean loves this cute football doll and immediately recognized that it was similar to her Santa doll and princess doll from Zubels.
Our plan is to share this sweet football player doll with our newest family member! He's such a sweet little guy, and I have a feeling that he'll be a football fan, just like his dad! This soft cotton doll is dressed like a football player from head to toe- complete with a football helmet and cleats! This doll is the perfect size for little hands to hold and is sure to become a cherished toy!
