Cyber Monday Deal Alert - Handmade gifts at 40% off

As much as I'd love to make my own holiday gifts, I've come to the realization that with four kids I just don't have the time. And quite frankly, even with all the time in the world, I'd never be able to make anything quite as amazing as the gorgeously upcycled goodies from Seven Smooches.

[Don't miss the amazing Cyber Monday offer after the jump!]

 

Even with seven kids between them, creative moms Jennifer and Stacy use their sewing machine, recycled sweaters, and their wonderful imagination to create unique, whimsical kids clothes, accessories, and gifts unlike anything I've seen before. We fell in love with them a while back, but the collection has grown to include some really great gifts.  My personal faves are the handmade blankets, like the adorable snowman, or even the cool astrology blankets that would make a fantastic welcome baby gift.

I'm particularly infatuated with their new storybook collection, like the fabulous Princess and the Pea playset or the felted Mother Goose Spectacles (right)--the whole collection features all sorts of treasures inspired by, you guessed it, story books, to inspire dress-up and creative play. Plus, they're donating 15% of purchases from this collection to the Reading Tree, a charity that helps get books into the hands of kids who might not otherwise have them.

I can really only see one drawback from buying of these gifts - the fact that I can't take credit for making them. But finding and giving them it's almost just as good. -Kristen

Get 40% off your purchase (wow!) at Seven Smooches today only in honor of Cyber Monday! You'll get it refunded soon after purchase, and the 15% donation will be made as well. Sweet.
