Preorders, Prints and Geniuses, oh my!

Did you see the newest releases from bumGenius? Wow. So many options! Training Pants, new Solids and Prints and a new All-in-One, 'Freetime,' with a pretty freeing price tag. (Miss the release? Check out this short video for a quick tour of the new products)

Get your name on the list to be one of first to call these your own by shopping the preorder at IBB today. You choose whether you'd like to put down just 5%, or pay for your order in full. Though I must warn you, paying in full will garner you far more entries into Avalee's Mystery Order (remember the last time she packed a mystery box?).

Avalee's Mystery Order - For every $20 you spend on preorder items through Sept 18th, your name goes in the hat once for a fabulous box of goodies packed by Avalee herself (box's contents valued $95+). AND, if we reach 40 preorders of $30 or more, I'm going to nudge her to repack that box with even more goodies. 

Fine Print

• Be sure to read and understand the terms of the preorders (preorder specifics and terms included on each preorder page). Order cancellations will not be accepted.  
• Winner will be drawn Sept 19th. I'll email the lucky duck to confirm sizes and colorways of the freebies.

1,700 fans and counting: Flat Rate Treasures

My lovely toddler has taken to 'helping' pack orders. Not a lego here and there like she used to, but full on orders! She diligently pulls down a flat rate box, and fills it with all sorts of items. She then tapes the box within an inch of its life. It is very sweet, slightly unhelpful, but very sweet. Well yesterday she packed such a fantastic order I decided to leave it alone. And now it is just waiting for a home to call its own. 

The exact contents of the box will remain a surprise. But I will say the contents include: gender-neutral one-size diapers, and many accessories to outfit both mom and baby. And are valued well over $100 (yes, my girl knows how to pick'em). 

All orders $35+ placed through August 31st are entered to win (the more you spend the more entries you earn - see fine print). In addition, all orders $35+ also earn a free Planet Wise Food Bag. No code necessary. 

Fine Print

• Limit 2 Planet Wise bags per household. 
• No limit on Flat Rate Treasure entries. For every $35 you spend, your name goes in the hat once. Ie. Spend $70 your name is in the hat twice. Spend $350 = 10x. Spend $100 = 2x. Etc. 
• Gift Certificates, Trial and Rental Packages do not count towards qualifying order total. 
• Any orders canceled or returned after the freebie winner is announced may be charged a 15% restocking fee - this will be at IBB's discretion.
• Winner will be drawn Sept 1st. and notified via email.

Back to School: SuperDuper SuperUndies

Ahh, Back to School. As you already know, I consider this the fifth season of the year (and one of my personal favorites). 

The final week of Back to School season must be celebrated by something grand, something amazing, something a wee bit heroic. Without further delay, I present to you - 

SuperUndies offers three different styles of training pant so you can find just the uniform to outfit your little hero (like to compare the three styles available? check out the videos here). 

I've been using SuperUndies on my little hero for the last two weeks, and I am so impressed with the design, construction and fit. The lycra tabs are so incredibly stretchy, the inner fabric against baby's skin is oh-so-soft and the fit is perfect on my 24lb peanut (and their size range is wide enough they can easily fit your older hero as well).

Let's celebrate the arrival of SuperUndies, your super hero, and the final week of Back to School! Grab your SuperUndies at 10% off! No code necessary. Sale on through Sept 3rd.

Up, up and away!

Back to School: Party Time

Buy 5 PIMP Pads, Get 1 Free!

Exhibit A
One grand disadvantage of running an online store is that I likely will not ever meet the majority of you, nor the folks behind the brands I carry. How disappointing, as so many of the people I interact with on a daily basis seem to be so very fabulous. 

In particular, I have to admit I have a strong affinity towards the ladies at Party In My Pants. The sisters behind PIMP remind me so much of some of my friends from undergrad, it is a bit uncanny. Likely will never have a chance to meet them, but I can imagine I'd have to get one of their fab hats toot sweet!

(Want to get to know them? Watch this quick video...)

Exhibit B
AND they are from Wisconsin (me being a fellow cheesehead here, although I have never had the privilege of owning a proper formed-foam hat).

Exhibit C

How many of my IBB-friends use mama cloth? Or maybe you find yourself able to wrap your head around cloth diapers, but not quite there yet with cloth for yourself? No time like the present to give mama cloth a test run!

AND, buying this amazing brand at a discount also offers you a chance to create a small stash of pads for yourself, or maybe your teenage daughter headed back to school. Just add an amazingly discreet storage bag (say, from Planet Wise or PIMP), and you'll have an emergency stash for a locker, backpack, purse, glove box or desk.

How Do I Snag This Sale?

• Simply purchase any five PIMP pads of your choosing (pads must be individual items found on this page, not the prepackaged pad bundles already sold at a discount).
• Mix and match a variety of sizes and fabrics. Free pad will be equal or lesser value to the rest of your order, taking the size and fabric cue from the rest of your order. 
• YES, this deal can be combined with the YUM! sale currently going on. Oh my, the freebie possibilities are seemingly endless!
• Limit three free pads per household. 
• Offer ends Saturday 8/27/11 at 23:59 central.  
• Not finding the quantity of pads you would like? Email me to arrange a special order (this will only add a couple of days to your order). All special order requests must be received by Tuesday 8/23).

Also don't miss, the Chewbeads and Teething Bling sales extended through the 27th!

Back to School: Because It's Pretty

I don't know about your Back to School memories, but the thing that got me even more excited than school supplies shopping was clothes shopping. Seriously, I remember coveting this pair of purple plaid Espirit shoes when I was, um, seven?! And my favorite pair of dark denim overalls from fifth grade. Oh they were so lovely. And of course my Girbaud jeans in seventh grade, paired with a burgundy body suit. (Don't you wish I had those photos uploaded, haha.)

So how could our Back to School celebration be complete without a little something that exists mostly because it is really lovely?? Two fab brands on sale this week - Chewbeads and Teething Bling! The beauty of these beauties, though, is that they are as functional as they are nice to look at. Each is made of silicone (you know, the stuff that coats infant spoons, and bottle and pacifier nipples are made from), and is designed to be worn by mom and teethed-on by baby. My personal favorite is the Chewbeads Hudson in Ivory (above) - looks good with everything in my closet (so good, in fact, that I wear it even when my baby is nowhere in sight).

Get 'em while they're hot, as the sale price is limited to the quantities I have on hand. 

ps. don't miss this important shipping announcement.
