Easter Bunny Hat by Lulu & Charlie giveaway

**CLOSED**
**WINNER: random.org #25, congrats to TheSingleMama!! Winner has been emailed. Thanks to all who entered and thanks again to Lulu and Charlie!**

Lulu and Charlie is an awesome shop I found on Etsy. Here is their little description: “…features blankets, hats, nursery items and other fun stuff for babies and toddlers. Some styles are crocheted, in honor of my Nana, while other items feature nostalgic and whimsical prints that remind me of my own childhood — when my nickname was Lulu and my best friend was a little dog named Charlie.” Cute, right?

I’m a sucker for celebrating holidays with Ryan… especially because this year they’re all his “firsts!” I’m definitely making him an Easter basket and getting creative with gifts because… well, he can’t eat eggs and chocolate yet! Maybe I’ll bottle up some milk?!

I really wanted him to have an Easter bunny hat and I looked at a million on Etsy, but could never bring myself to get one. I just couldn’t picture Ryan wearing a hat with big floppy ears… maybe a bit too girly?? Anyway… then I found THIS hat by Lulu. PERFECT! I love the style with the earflaps and the colors with the brown and light blue.

I got size 6 – 12 months because I know Ryan has a big head, haha (but she makes it in all other sizes too). It fits great!! She also makes a girl version with pink yarn accents instead of light blue – also super cute! I can’t wait for Easter brunch with my family to show off Ryan in his hat (ok, who am I kidding, I already emailed this picture of him of everyone lol):

So freakin’ cute, right?! I just kept smiling and laughing at him, I couldn’t get over how cute he looked. Lulu & Charlie makes some other great baby stuff like this crochet baby blanket that looks SO SOFT I want it for myself:

There’s also other blankets, burp cloths, hats, and even some crochet baby crocs! Want to dress your own baby in an adorable hat for Easter this year??? One lucky reader is going to WIN this Easter Bunny hat in their choice of size and color (pink or blue accents).

MACYS.COM LAUNCHES BEAUTY TRIO.(Chanel, Estee Lauder, Clinique e-boutiques)(Brief Article)

WWD October 24, 2001 | Seckler, Valerie NEW YORK — Macys.com has just launched Chanel, Estee Lauder and Clinique e-boutiques, marking the first time consumers will be able to shop for the beauty brands at an online department store. here macys printable coupons

“We felt it was essential to have these three beauty brands up for holiday,” said Dawn Robertson, president and chief merchandising officer of Federated Direct, which encompasses macys.com and Macy’s by Mail. Noting the relaunch of rival beauty e-tailer Gloss.com “kept getting delayed,” Robertson added: “We felt we had to go live with Chanel, Estee Lauder and Clinique by mid-October at the latest, in order to fully realize holiday business. These launches mark the big kickoff of the beauty category at macys.com” (Gloss.com, owned by Lauder, is slated to go live today, as reported in WWD.) Robertson declined to forecast holiday or full-year sales Tuesday. Earlier this year, Federated estimated the combined volume of its Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s sites would reach $200 million to $250 million, up from $156 million in 2000 and $60 million in 1999. More than half of the macys.com business is generated by home goods; beauty is expected to eventually kick in 10 percent of the site’s sales, Robertson said. With the launch of the Chanel, Lauder and Clinique e-shops, macys.com now carries more than 150 beauty brands, comprising 5,500 stockkeeping units. In all, it carries roughly 75,000 sku’s. go to website macys printable coupons

“In spring, when we were relaunching the site, we focused on apparel,” said Helen Suvall, the site’s senior vice president and general merchandise manager. “Since then, we’ve allocated most of our resources to launching the new beauty brands.” The most recent tweaks include launching the holiday home page; redoing the navigation bar to flag concept shops as brands instead of boutiques, and making brands more prominent to test their viability for a full-blown e-shop treatment next spring. Currently, macys.com, which went live in November 1998, offers 11 e-shops, including Polo Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger, Kenneth Cole New York, Liz Claiborne and Jones New York.
