Gem's Boutique Knit Baby Hat Review & Giveaway

Photobucket

Gem's Boutique was founded by a homeschooling mama of 4, who hand knits the most beautiful creations. Logan and I were fortunate enough to review the Baby Boy Cotton Korker Beanie Hat and it was love at first sight! The Korker hat is super soft and the craftsmanship is amazing. I adore the blue, green and brown color combo that it comes in, but you can custom order the hat in just about any color combination. It was absolutely perfect for Logan's newborn photos and it will make for a cherished keepsake. I smile every time I see the photo of Logan in this adorable hat. I might be just a little biased but isn't he the cutest baby you've ever seen?!

Happy Blankie Review


The story of how Happy Blankie came about makes my heart smile. 7-year-old David, the founder of Happy Blankie, came up with the idea to create something that would make children happy across the world. For every blanket purchased, Happy Blankie will donate a blankie to a child in need - one to love and one to give. Not only will they donate a blankie, but they will allow you to choose where you want it to go. How awesome is this company!!

Not only are these blankies super cute and soft, they are also a fabulous way to teach children about giving. I choose to send Logan's second blankie to an orphanage in Uganda, Africa. I will definitely be telling Logan about where his second blankie went when he is old enough to understand. Think of this awesome company during the Holidays - these blankies would make a great gift for any child.

Thank you Happy Blankie for allowing Logan to review Stomp the Happy Frog Blankie - he loves it!
