According to the Chinese calendar, 2012 is the year of the Dragon.  Not at Baby Gizmo! We consider it the year of the Donkey! The Bugaboo Donkey that is! We ended 2011 with some pretty great giveaways and we wanted to start 2012 with a bang as well. Why not start the year with the biggest giveaway yet?!?  Well, it’s the biggest giveaway of 2012 so far!  That’s right we are giving away a fabulous, chic, fantastic, celebrity-worthy Bugaboo Donkey to one lucky winner. Woot! Woot! This stroller was so special that when it was announced we even did a pretty funny ”Unauthorized Donkey Video” when they first unveiled it in the US at the ABC Kids Show. Luckily, Bugaboo didn’t hold it against us that we did the video undercover Dateline-style because they have agreed to let us be the second to do a Donkey giveaway. Why weren’t we the first? Hmmmm…maybe they did hold it against us?

This giveaway is so HUGE that we are giving you 2 weeks to enter!  The giveaway starts now and ends at 11:59pm EST Friday, January 14, 2012!

On the 12th Day of Christmas Baby Gizmo gave to me…

Orbit Baby G2 Stroller + Sidekick Board

OMG!  It is the last day!  The last hurrah!  The Grande Finale of the 2011 Baby Gizmo 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway Extravaganza THIS IS IT! 

Sure, others try to imitate our 12 Days of Christmas but no one comes close to the Baby Gizmo Giveaway Extravaganza that happens at this time every year!  And since this is our 12th and final day, we had to finish with style. We had to finish with a bang. 

What better way to end our 12 Days of Christmas than with one of the most sought after luxury strollers on the market: the Orbit Baby G2 + Sidekick Board! That’s right, the G2 wasn’t good enough for our fans, we had to throw in the Sidekick to make it that much better.

One lucky winner will receive this luxury, head-turning stroller with its fabulous unique features that will have you feeling like a celebrity when you stroll with it through town. This is state-of-the-art strolling! Of all the strollers that we have reviewed, we have gotten the most attention from the G2!  We really felt like celebrities when we were out and about with this stroller. The G2 has unique features that no other stroller has. We absolutely love the full coverage sun canopy, the large roomy seat, and the fact that it rotates and reclines.

To check out our full review (including video!) of the G2, click here.  Since the winner gets the Sidekick too, don’t forget to check out our review of the Sidekick HERE.

On the 10th day of Christmas Baby Gizmo gave to me…

Peg Perego Tatamia

We are loving Day 10!  Italians know their style. (And that’s not just because Hollie is Italian!) There is no denying that the Italian-made Peg Perego Tatamia looks great! It a beautiful high chair that is not only functional but will look great in any kitchen. The Peg Perego Tatamia is a multipurpose baby seat that is a triple threat in the world of baby gear. This versatile seat does the duty of three pieces of baby gear that can be used from birth to preschool age. The Tatamia works as a baby recliner, a swing, and a high chair. This seat is perfect for those parents who don’t want to buy 3 separate pieces of baby gear and want to save space.

Not familiar with the Tatamia?  Check out our full review (with video!) of the Peg Perego Tatamia here. (Keep in mind that the newer version of the Tatamia has a bigger swing motion!)
