Everyone knows how much I love Oprah. So, when I received an email from harpo.com (Oprah’s company), I was like, “Yes!” Well, it turned out that Oprah didn’t want to have a lunch date. Rather, it was an introduction to The Oprah Store. That’s alright though, our (Oprah and my) degrees of separation are much smaller now. Smile. In any event, something cute for one expecting Mom in the City reader came out of it. I was sent a blanket and bib to review…along with a discount for Mom in the City readers.

As much as I like Oprah, I have never really thought of The Oprah Store as a place to buy gifts…especially for little ones. I was pleasantly surprised when I received an O baby! bib and baby blanket to review. The O baby! cotton bib with the embroidered baby giraffe is nice and soft. I like that the “O” is not super obvious, because I am not a fan of kids (or adults for that matter) being walking logo billboards. I especially liked the “O” baby blanket. It is so soft and snuggly. I could easily see it becoming a young child’s lovey. The only thing that I would advise is that you wash it before letting your kid sleep under it, so that it won’t leave any residue on their skin.
Between the Baby Bunch and these Oprah Store baby gifts, I’m starting to crave a baby! Then sanity returns…and I’m just happy that I get to be around a lot of them. I know a Mom in the City reader/friend who is expecting her second child soon, so this will make a great gift for her little one. (I especially like that the review items are in yellow, since my friend is one of those “we will wait until the baby is born to find out the sex” people!)
Mom in the City readers are being offered free shipping (with no minimum purchase) from now until the end of February on all Oprah Store purchases. Simply type in Mother247 at check-out. If you are buying for an infant or toddler, be sure to check out their O baby section, because they have some really cute clothes and accessories.
Thanks to The Oprah Store for sending the bib and blanket for review. It will be given to a Mom in the City reader.
