And this week's Favorite Things' giveaway...Melissa and Doug toys!

Mandi's Favorite Things

This week's giveaway is generously sponsored by Duck Duck Goose Boutique, and the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate and free shipping on their order!

This children's boutique offers everything from the latest baby fashions to natural lead-free toys and the hottest baby gear. But for today, I want to focus on one of my favorites...Melissa and Doug toys! These toys are so much fun and spark so much imaginative play in my girls, and I love them all.

To enter, simply visit Duck Duck Goose Boutique, and choose the Melissa and Doug product(s) you love the most. Then come back and leave a comment with your product choice, your name and a way to contact you if you win!

If you blog about this contest and come back and leave me a comment with a link to the post, you will receive THREE additional entries.

Additionally, if you tell someone about the contest and they mention your name in their entry, you will receive an additional entry as well.

Next Sunday, I will enter all of the entries into an Excel spreadsheet so that each entry is assigned its own number. I'll then use a random number generator to choose the winner and that person will receive a $25 gift certificate to Duck Duck Goose Boutique!

Wow! I had no idea Melissa & Doug had so many choices! We have a set of their rhythm instruments and love them. I love everything, but I think the puppets are my favorite.

Our girls have a couple Melissa & Doug puzzles that they love (and I love how chunky they are for little hands). I know Lilli would like the Play Money Set and Corinne would like the Geometric Stacker.

HERE is my blog

I'm a huge fan of Melissa & Doug toys. I love the quality! My faves are: The Pirate and Knight puppet. Two of my son's favorite things! Even if I don't win I think I'll purchase these items! Great price!

Thanks!

There are so many to choose from. It is a tough decision. I have several favorites my little girl would love. The pots and pans set, the alphabet blocks, or the mini maze. I could go on and on. Thanks for having this contest!

The ramp racer looks awesome! My son would love it. That may be one of his birthday presents.

Cuddle Cottage said...

I have to choose the kitchen pots and pans set; my daughter is fascinated with mine and it would be cute to get her her own set to 'cook' with.

I love Melissa and Doug toys, even though I don't have any. They have some at our local library and they are so cute and well made and not too over-the-top. I like the magic discovery set and the rainbow stacker.

I blogged about your contest too!

So many great toys! I like the tool box, all the blocks, the floor puzzles, puppets, vehicles, too many to choose from, I like that they have the wooden toys like in the "old" days, safer and lasts a long time, very cute stuff.

monecoster said...

I would say the tool set. My son loves Papa's tools. It would be great to have his own set. I also really like the helicopter on wheels.

Thanks! Simone monecoster@yahoo.com

Shaina said...

My wish list is long when it comes to Melissa & Doug toys. Really. Looooooooooong. Because I have a birthday coming up for my current youngest, I'm going to have to go with the Magnetic Bug Catching Game, but I'd love any of the floor puzzles, the wooden puzzles, the dollhouse accessories, the geometric stacker, the puzzle cards, the wooden train sets, the stack and sort board and did you see the tree house? That thing looks SO cool.

Now, back to work to fund all my wants.

Tara said...

I really can't decide, but since Baby D doesn't really have any toys of his own yet, I think maybe the trains. Of course, J would probably confiscate them, LOL!

I blogged about you on Deal Seeking Mom of course!!!

Chrissy said...

We have probably a dozen of these toys. I need to review them over at my blog for dads. My daughter loves the Farm Circle Floor Puzzle. I think her new favorite will be the Standing Easel. She likes to draw and color, but doesn't always like to sit!

I would love to have the princess and ballerina puppets for my girls.

valmg and A Contest Blog said...

My youngest is just getting into pretend cooking now so he'd love all of the pretend play food toys - the play food, the cooking pots and pans, the sandwich set, the sushi set, all of them.
I blogged this giveaway on A Contest Blog at http://acontestblog.com/index.php/2008/doodles-place-duck-duck-goose-giveaway/

mannequin said...

Everything is so cute. This is one of those trick questions because everything is everyones favorite. I suppose if I had to pick, at this moment, it would be "Bake Cupcakes not War" tote because it's so adorable and because my son is watching me very closely and learning tat we need to put a halt to using those blue plastic bags. So even though it's not a toy, he would like it too!

Heather said...

I love the play food set!

judybrittle said...

i like the magnetic dress up sets and really love the victorian dollhouse. very nice.

Anonymous said...

I especially like the Pirates Arithmetic Game because it is so age inclusive and could be played by my two great grandsons who are several years apart. It is also educational but fun, and very colorful which makes it attractive to children.

camper223 said...

My son and daughter in law are expecting their first child and they need everything. So I'm entering contest. I love unique and useful items. From diaper bag to cloths they have it all. It would be hard to choose a favorite but I did like their OiOi Giraffe Print Hobo Sack with matching OiOi Giraffe Print Messenger Bag. thank you for a chance to win.

Cary said...

I love all the food, but the sushi set looks really fun. Thanks for offering all of these giveaways.
