Playskool’s Cherry Blossom Market – A Giveaway!
Ok, I’ve already ranted and raved over my extreme love for it in my Christmas Gift Guide for kids, but it’s worth another mention here: one of my favorite picks for Christmas this year is, beyond a doubt, the Cherry Blossom Market. We have one of these at my house (I just couldn’t wait until Christmas to give it to Little AG – it looked like so much fun!) and it has been a fun activity for us daily since we broke open the box. Speaking of opening the box, it was very easy to put together, though I did take the time to read the instructions for once (rather out of character for me!) but it was in one piece in a flash (when I saw the small box I was slightly worried). The fabric that it is made out of seems easy enough to wipe clean, and at the most, needs a sponge with some warm, soapy water on it.
And really, what little girl doesn’t dream of owning her own little store! Now they can with the Cherry Blossom Market from Playskool — perfect for those of us who want to give our little ones a playhouse of their own, but with limited space. A smaller addition to the Dream Town collection (we also love the Rose Petal Cottage, but it’s twice the size, therefore it would take up twice the amount of room in my house!) this sweet and playful market will not disappoint! I love the beautiful fabric walls of the Playskool Cherry Blossom Market
I am confident that your little grocers will love this toy as much as we do, and they would love to find this from Santa Claus come Christmas morning! It’s on sale at Amazon right now (link above) for only $35.99 (and free shipping!) which I feel like is one of the best deals that you can possibly get this Holiday Season!

Anne Taintor makes Vintage Modern! (A Giveaway!)
I could look through the products at Anne Taintor all day! Hailed as “The Original Vintage Humor Company”, their snarky products do not disappoint! These are the kinds of products I wish I had known about a couple of years ago, because I have friends who would have LOVED them! I still do, and I think that they will not only make fantastic stocking stuffers, but also great girlfriend gifts — perfect for Secret Santa or gift exchanges! I have a couple of things from there, so let me highlight some of my favorites! Best of all, everything on the site is very affordable!
We are a family of travelers, so I chose this passport cover that says “High Maintenance doesn’t begin to cover it.” When it arrived, hubby just grunted and said “Boy is that true.” (Disclaimer: He knew this before he married me!)
I also chose this ID holder that says “Of course it buys happiness!” Oh how i love it! 
My sister in law used to have a sign that said “All I’m asking for is the chance to prove that it doesn’t buy happiness” and this reminded me of that, so I immediately liked it! (I was thisclose to choosing the one that said “Domestically Disabled”)
I also really like their purse-sized emery boards — the “Stop me before I volunteer again” is SO me. I say yes to too many things! Plus, I love that these are small enough to keep in your purse all of the time, because you always need an emery board at the most inconvenient times!
Win it! Anne Taintor has graciously offered the chance for one lucky Chic Shopper Chick reader to win a $50 dollars worth of products from their site, to be chosen at the end of the contest!

We could all use a little Pixie Dust!
As a little girl I used to love watching Peter Pan — and of course, the “little green fairy” Tinkerbell was my ultimate favorite! I’m thrilled that now Little AG will be enchanted by the same characters as I was as a child, and this first film in a series of new releases that feature the Disney Fairies does just that!
Fulfilling the dreams of every little girl (and even a few moms!) who has ever wanted her own pair of fairy wings, Tinkerbell flies onto DVD and Blu-Ray disc and into your living rooms starting this Tuesday, October 28th. Every fairy is born with a very special talent, and this movie is about Tinkerbell feeling like her ability to make things “tinker” isn’t as special as the talents that the other fairies have. However, with the help of some of her other fantastic friends in Pixie Hollow, Tinkerbell finally begins to realize that the best gift of all is simply the ability to be herself! Little AG was completely captivated (and completely still!) when this movie started, and I had to tear her away for bathtime.
Ok, my personal favorite part about this movie may be something that you haven’t even considered — we hear Tinkerbell speak. I’m not sure if you realize it, but Tinkerbell has never offically uttered a word, so this was a real treat. An all-star cast has lended their voices to this full-length film, with Mae Whitman as Tinkerbell and with America Ferrara, Raven-Symone’, Kristin Chenowith, and Lucy Liu rounding out the cast as the other fairies! Grab the kiddos and come check out the sneak previews below and then try telling me that, even as an adult, you aren’t pretty excited about seeing this one.
The DVD and Blu-Ray Disc will both be released this Tuesday, so be sure to go pick up your copy to start your new Disney Fairy Movie Collection. The suggested retail for the DVD is $29.99 and for the Blu-Ray Disc is $34.99 and you can find your your copy of TinkerBell
