Sound Beginnings Giveaway

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

Sound Beginnings is the easiest, most durable, and most comfortable way for mothers to safely share their favorite music, sounds, and stories with their babies in the womb. Sound Beginnings’ soft fabric band, with its integrated waterproof speakers, is a perfect fit for an expectant mom and comfortable enough for her to wear all day. There’s no assembly required, and the complete device — speakers and all — is machine washable. To ensure baby can safely enjoy Sound Beginnings, volume output is limited to a level scientifically proven to be safe for listening. No other product on the market allows an expectant mother to play music and sound for her baby that is as simple to use, as comfortable, or as affordable as Sound Beginnings.


Sound Beginnings have gone further than ever before to make the interaction with baby truly personal, unique, and special. Every Sound Beginnings unit includes access to Sound Delivery, an innovative, affordable recording service that perfectly complements the Sound Beginnings hardware, allowing family and friends to record messages for baby using nothing more than a telephone. These messages, sent over a secure, toll-free number, are instantly converted to digital sound files available for download and play using the Sound Beginnings device and any MP3 player. Users are given an allotment of free minutes with the purchase of Sound Beginnings and also have the option to add minutes themselves.  No other device of its kind includes this feature.


Sound Beginnings, Inc. is a small company owned and operated by a husband and wife team, we believe in the importance and benefits of bonding before birth.  Sound Beginnings, Inc. was created to help moms and dads-to-be bond before baby arrives in a safe, easy, comfortable way.

JenniPenni Giveaway

Monday, January 24th, 2011

I hope you all have loved all the giveaways that’s we’ve had so far. Yesterday you missed a beautiful diamond ring & the day before a gorgeous photograph…And today…

JenniPenni’s Etsy shop offers unique photographic prints that will add an inspirational touch to your wall or make a great present for a friend. All the images are taken by her. Focusing on conceptual photography, JenniPenni’s print shop is full of quirky goodness, featuring images that are not only beautiful to look at but always come with a poignant message as well. Thought provoking yet simple art, always delivered with a bucket of personality.

Jenni is a photographer student living in Finland. And she doesn’t like thinking about photography as a bunch of rules one should follow. She believes new ideas and fresh perspectives are way better than some straight horizontal lines and all that jazz. Her heart lies in conceptual photography, but she is in awe by anything that makes her feel something.

The winner of this giveaway will win Jenni’s “It’s raining hearts” 8×10 print. It is printed on a satin-matt archival high quality photo paper. Signed and dated by the artist, the print also comes with a little note from JenniPenni herself.
