Name Your Tune Personalized CD ♥ Review and Discount Code {Giveaway Closed}

When I first discovered the Name Your Tune website, I was immediately intrigued. First of all, I think personalized kids' products rock! Second? I remember listening to childrens' songs over and over as a little girl. I didn't get tired of them! Imagine how much fun I would have had with personalized children's songs!

Well, that's what my daughter gets to experience. Lucky little duck. ;-)



Each Name Your Tune CD is a compilation of 14 childrens' songs (including many favorites like "Wheels on the Bus" and "Old MacDonald") and features your child's name over 80 times! Click here for a list of the songs and to listen to samples!

Fun Facts:

  • More than 4200 names available
  • You can feature more than one name on one CD
  • Add a personal message to the CD label
  • A portion of the sale of each CD is donated to a non-profit company that makes hearing aids for children
  • Optional notecard message and/or giftwrapping
  • Name Your Tune was featured on the Today show as "must-have baby gear"



Thanks to Name Your Tune, I was able to review a CD specially personalized for my daughter, Emma. The process of making the CD personalized was easy:

1. I told them how to pronounce my daughter's name.

2. I told them what I wanted printed on the label - I chose the top line ("Songs for our little girl"), then the next line is the child's name (Emma), and the last line ("Love, Mommy and Daddy").

The first time I played this CD for my daughter, I knew it was worth buying. Before I put it on, she was whiny, restless, and wouldn't sit in my lap, but was not happy being put down, either. Don't you love it when that happens? Well, the minute she heard this CD, and especially her name, she calmed right down and was completely entranced. She sat in front of the CD player and watched it, lol. She loves music, and I know that she loved hearing her name sung as well. Our favorite song is "Wheels on the Bus" because while singing they tell you what motions to go through.

Emma loves this CD because it's a combination of her favorite things: music, hearing her name, and interactive songs!



Emma and I give the Name Your Tune CDs two little thumbs up and two big thumbs up! :-) We love it!




Each Name Your Tune CD is $20.00, but for you it will be $15.00 if you use this $5.00 off discount code generously provided by Name Your Tune: KINDRED. I think this is a great deal and a great Christmas gift idea!

Rockabye Baby ♥ Review and Giveaway!

Are you ready to rock? Wait, wait! Keep it down, will ya? I'm trying to soothe the baby to sleep here. Shhhh...

*pops a Rockabye Baby! disc into the CD player*

This
is rockin' Rockabye Baby! style! You and your little one can enjoy your favorite rock music together and still keep the atmosphere low-key.
Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. Guitars and drums are traded for soothing mellotrons, vibraphones and bells, and the volume is turned down from an eleven to a two. Rockabye Baby! is the perfect way to share the music you love with the littlest rocker in your life.
Rockabye Baby! has a great collection of music including lullabies from popular bands like:

AC/DC
Coldplay
Aerosmith
The Beatles
Green Day
Metallica
No Doubt
Nine Inch Nails
Pink Floyd
Radiohead
and much more!

To see their complete collection, click here.

Celebrities are enjoying the Rockabye Baby! collection as well! Kate Hudson, Tori Spelling, and Denise Richards are only a few of the fans that are thrilled with these lullabies - check out this video of Rachael Ray and Kate Hudson freaking out over the coolness of this music:

My Thoughts/Review:

I think that once you listen to the samples you'll be as excited about this music as I was. Even if you aren't especially crazy about any of the bands, you'll find that the music is very pleasing to the ear.

What really caught me was the Coldplay album - I LOVE COLDPLAY! Rockabye Baby! generously sent me the Coldplay album to review and I am extremely happy with it. I have to admit that the Metallica album is pretty awesome as well (I listened to samples online). But Coldplay? It rocks. Quietly. ;-) No wonder so many people are going nuts over this! These albums are a great alternative to traditional lullabies.


Buy it!

Each CD is $16.98. Also, if you would like to gift Rockabye Baby! and aren't sure which album the recipient would prefer, you can buy a Digital Download Card Gift Pack for them - this enables the lucky recipient to download the album they want online! It even includes a few extras - temporary tattoos, a mini baby book, and paper dolls.

Win it!

One lucky winner will receive a Rockabye Baby! Digital Download Card Gift Package!
