Precious Moments Baby Boutique Review and Giveaway

I received this item free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

I have been getting ready for the new baby and going through baby clothes, toys, etc. that I had packed away for when the little one arrives. I had given all my girl baby clothes and a bassinet to my neighbor and church friend before her baby girl was born because Teela had grown out of it all. My friend actually was the one that had given me the bassinet to use while Teela was still small. Well, she gave it all back to me! So we are having fun doing this back and forth hand-me-down swap...I just deep down hope that I am having a girl because I don't have any baby boy clothes at all and another girl would even things out again. Although, a baby, whatever the gender, that is healthy and stays healthy would be wonderful!

I have recently fallen in love with some of the lovely baby items on the Precious Moments Baby Boutique website. I love Precious Moments not only because they are a Christian based company, but because of their wonderful illustrations and products. I love the keepsake albums, Nature's Babies Luxury Plush Blanket and Precious Moments Small Hands Bible. My daughter, Teela, actually has a Prayer Pal Bunny we received as a gift when she was a baby. She loves to give hugs to it. When she squeezes the very soft bunny it says the child's prayer in a childlike voice and in a version I like so much better than the old one I had remembered as a child.

Anyway, I am getting slightly off topic here so let me get back to the review. We just recently got the chance to review another cuddly plush toy from the Precious Moments Baby Boutique line for free. Teela loves it when I open my mail especially packages because she never knows what to expect and a lot of the time the item is for her. Well, when I opened the package from MomSelect and Precious Moments she immediately was right there anticipating what treasure it might be. I pulled out this very cute and very cuddly plush hippo crib toy and started laughing because Teela's eyes grew wide and she outstretched her arms. I had to explain to her as I was cutting off the tags that this hippo was actually for the new baby. Teela finally accepted my words and with that she snatched it from my hands, made it kiss my belly, and told me she was going to put it in the baby's bed. I thought it was very cute.

Teela adores the hippo and I am sure my new baby will also. It is so soft and cuddly. It has the endearing teardrop eyes that the Precious Moments are known for. I told Teela she could model with it for my blog and she got really excited. After she was done modeling with it she promptly placed the hippo back in the bassinet for baby.
