Sarahsewta's Wonderful World of JoJo's - A Review and Giveaway!

***Giveaway Closed 7/13***

Sarahsewta is a very fun shop on Etsy that I recently had the opportunity to check out. If you haven't heard of  Etsy before, it is basically an online shopping destination that features shops that sell handmade or vintage items. Beware. Etsy is a very addictive place! I have purchased many items on Etsy and have had nothing but positive experiences! Much better than shopping at the local mall because it is all made by hand or vintage.

Sarasewta's Wonderful World of Jojo's is yet another great little shop on Etsy that I am happy to have discovered! Sarah is the lovely lady behind Sarahsewta, and her shop includes rice bags, bibs, blankets, and wash cloths and more...all made out of minky, a super soft microfiber fabric that feels like mink. Oh minky! So soft against the skin!

The cornerstone product of Sarahsewta's shop are the Jojo Minky Rice bags. What are rice bags? Rice bags are bags of rice that are used for cold or heat therapy. Heat them in the microwave and use as a heat pack, or freeze and use as an ice pack.

Jojo Rice Bags go beyond the boring utilitarian heat/cold packs and serve a very practical use. They are boo boo bags for your special little girl/boy! Jojo bags help with all types of boo boos and are perfect for all kinds of aches (headaches, ear aches, stomach aches) and pains. They come in 2 sizes - 6x6 or 5x10 and are made with super soft minkee dot fabric. The neat thing is you can even customize your Jojo to whatever color you want. Your child will love having such a special and soft friend that can help ease their pain and make them feel better!

We received our very own 6x6 Jojo bag and think he's a cool (literally) dude! A few weeks ago, Cakes had a viral illness and was having trouble sleeping because her head hurt. I placed Jojo on her head
and he provided some much needed relief. She almost immediately settled down and fell asleep. Jojo to the rescue! We keep him in the freezer so he's aways ready to go for head bumps, fevers, or just a cool friend to hug on a hot summer day!

We also received an Appliqued Minky Dot Pull Over Bib to review as well. Isn't the one pictured to the right absolutely adorable?! I'm kind of jealous that it wasn't available when I got to choose one to review! Besides being adorable and soft, these bibs are super functional too! They are nice and large ( approx 11"x18") and provide tremendous coverage to prevent messes on your little ones clothes. One problem we have had with bibs is the baby pulling them off. Once the velcro gets a little old a little tug and the bib is off. Not so with these bibs. They pull over the head, just like a shirt so it's very difficult, if not impossible, for the little one to get it off.

We are very pleased with the functionality as well as the styling of this bib! It did a perfect job of protecting the Bubby's clothes and we always get a compliment or two (or three) on how absolutely adorable it is. I just wish I had more! Hmmm. I think I'll order the Monkey one like above! Shhhh! Don't tell the Hubs!
