Looking for a great interactive gift idea for the younger children on your Holiday shopping list? Hallmark has you covered with  Hallmark’s Bigsby interactive Story Buddy® and Bigsby’s Best Friend Storybook.  The plush Story Buddies chime in — barking, talking or singing — when key phrases are read aloud from the included storybook. Other books are also available to continue each character’s adventures. Story Buddies also include a read-along audio CD, free apps and access to digital story time online. We received this one to try out and it’s so much fun! Bigsby is shy but goes on adventures with his friends. He has adorable big feet and a cute and goofy single-toothed grin that is just adorable too! This toy would be great for kids and I love the lesson themes in the books like coming out of your shell and learning to make new friends. You can find out more about Bigsby here.

Puff’s Fresh Faces: The tissue aisle gets wet as the makers of Boogie Wipes® create a new saline product line for adults under the Puffs® brand

November 27, 2013 By 3 Comments

FreshFacesLogo

Mom started, owned and operated, Little Busy Bodies, LLC today announced it has finalized a licensing agreement with consumer products giant, Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG).  Under the agreement, Little Busy Bodies, creators of the hugely popular Boogie Wipes, will make and market a line of saline infused products under the Puffs brand.  First up and available this June, Puffs Fresh Faces, a moist saline tissue for adults that has been specifically designed to take on the needs of your face.

 

“When we first developed Boogie Wipes in 2007, we knew saline worked wonders when it came to cleaning and soothing stuffy noses.  We also knew saline had positive effects on the skin and ultimately wanted to tap into that knowledge when the time was right,” said Julie Pickens, CEO of Little Busy Bodies, LLC.  “Our partnership with P&G has really allowed us to build on the technology behind the use of saline for personal care and to realize our goal of taking moist saline wipes to the next level.”

 

Puffs Fresh Faces are built on the same quality foundation established by Pickens and her team of fellow moms.  But, different from kid-oriented Boogie Wipes, Fresh Faces are perfect for removing make-up, cleaning or refreshing the face after a long day or tough workout, and for taking on sneezes and mucus-filled moments caused by colds, the flu and allergies.

I received a review kit, containing 1 – 45 count box, and 1 – 15 count pack, with samples and coupons. I simply love Puffs Fresh Faces because they are great to use during the day or even at night and they are great to throw in your purse or backpack! My favorite is the light lavender!

Here’s some more info:

Walmart’s Tissue Aisle Gets WET! – Puff’s Fresh Faces is now available in the Walmart tissue aisle!  Go to www.puffsfreshfaces.com to receive a $2 off coupon in the mail!

Puff’s Fresh Faces with Vicks Menthol – It’s coming on cold and flu season.  Are you facing a stuffy nose today or tonight?  Give Puff’s Fresh Faces with Vicks a try! These are a must-have in the upcoming Winter season!!

COMING SOON! – They will be releasing their very own Gift Box program.  For more information and to sign up, please visit www.puffsfreshfaces.com. I can’t wait for this one! I have already signed up!

We have teamed up for a giveaway! One winner will win  (1) 45 count box (Fragrance Free or Light Lavender), (1) 15 count pack (Vicks Menthol, Fragrance Free, Light Lavender, Fresh Scent). Open to the US only, please. You must be a subscriber to enter! Next,  just do the following:
