Rudolph's Gift Guide Day 10: SweetPeaSwank Review and Giveaway!

**Contest Closed**April is married to her high school sweetheart, Chris who is a youth pastor at their local church. They live in Sacramento, Ca with their three daughters Cydney (7), Lilly (5) and Bella (1). Somehow this busy mom manages to also find time to create the adorable hair bows that she offers through her Etsy shop, SweetPeaSwank.

SweetPeaSwank was just recently opened in June. April told me, "I got tired of looking for bows that worked well in my babies' hair and knew that I could make them just as good if not better! I wanted to provide other moms with high quality bows without overcharging them for things like no slip grip and covering the inside of the clip."

April is a fan of Disney and Twilight. Check out the Twilight-inspired black and white bow, that sparkles just like a vampire in the sun!










Emma is modeling a few of April's cute hair clips above, including the Candy Stripe set. I have been having trouble keeping bows in her fine hair, and so far these clips have been staying in well.

The ribbons have a nice variety of colors, so they'll work with different outfits. Cute, versatile, and possibly another 'Oh, what a cute little boy' comment deterrent. I can only hope. :)

BUY IT! Mention this blog post and send April a convo on Etsy. She'll set up a reserved listing for you at 10% off!

WIN IT! One lucky reader will receive a $20.00 gift certificate to spend in SweetPeaSwank! To enter: Tell me how you will spend the gift certificate, mentioning a few items that were not featured above.
