When my daughters were little, I could buy them whatever cute and frilly clothes I wanted them to wear and they wore them. That changed. And in a big way. If you are a mom with daughters over the age of about 6, you know exactly what I am talking about. With girls now 8 and 10, it’s getting harder and harder to find clothes that we can agree on. Fashion Playtes has completely changed that!

Fashion Playtes was kind enough to give us a gift certificate to try out the site. We sat down at the computer and I walked the girls through the website a bit. I then let them go to their own computer and play around with the site over the next couple of days. When it came time to order, we sat together and I navigated through the site as they directed me. Jillian wanted an outfit she could wear on PE days but that didn’t scream “sports” so she customized a hoodie with a blue sparkly music note. Cassie is my “girly girl” and designed a pink dress with a flowery peace sign. Each girl was able to custom design an outfit that was perfect for her personality and I was happy with the fact that the clothes were appropriate for school but also still very stylish.

If you are looking for clothes for your daughter or a unique gift idea for anyone’s daughter, you should check out Fashion Playtes. In addition to the clothes designs, you can order gift certificates to let the kids design the clothes themselves (and you get cash back on the gift certificate purchases!). Plus, you can check out the Fashion Playtes coupons and discounts on Sunshine Rewards to get even more for your money. (Right now they are running free shipping on any dress purchase).

Check out the video of my girls below so you can see a sample of the clothes that they designed. Then visit the site for yourself to see how easy it is!

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend but it doesn’t mean that she shouldn’t check out Emeralds, Rubies, Pearls, and Garnets as well. In fact, the most beautiful jewelry is that jewelry that is designed specially for you in whatever metals and gems you like best. There’s no better place to design that jewelry than Gemvara and we are lucky enough to be giving away a $150 gift certificate to their site!

I spent a little while on the Gemvara site today and was amazed. There are so many reasons to customize your own jewelry. Here are just a few that I came up with as I was playing around with their design tool:

• Create “family jewelry” such a s Mother’s pendant with the gemstones for everyone in the family–dad included.
• Create a special initial or birthstone piece for a daughter’s 16th birthday.
• Design a piece in the colors and metals that match most of your outfits so that you have a “go to” piece of jewelry that you can where almost any time.
• Create jewelry that matches a certain outfit that you really want to accessorize to wear to a wedding or reunion.
• Customize a piece of jewelry in such a way that it will fit your own personal budget.
• Create a family heirloom that can be passed down with a personal touch because it was created by the family.

I just love this site and I know that you will, too. Combine their beautiful jewelry with the Gemvara coupons and cash back that we offer on Sunshine Rewards and you will have an exquisite, high quality piece of art for yourself or a loved one that will be cherished over time. Watch the video below and see how you can get entered to win a $150 Gemvara gift certificate.

To enter:

1) Visit Gemvara and create your own piece of jewelry. Leave a comment below with the link to the piece that you design (one entry).

2) Post on Twitter about the contest and leave a comment below with your Tweet (one entry).
