30-Day Giving Challenge: Halfway Day & Halo Sleepsack Giveaway

November 15, 2010

Today is the 15th, so we’re halfway through the 30-Day Giving Challenge. Have you noticed yourself being in a different frame of mind now that we’re focused on giving every day? The challenge is always in the back of my mind. I’m thinking we may need to turn this into a 12-month giving challenge next time!

Day 15 Giveaway: Halo SleepSack

Today’s 30-Day Giving Challenge sponsor is HALO SleepSack.  This product is near and dear to our hearts, because Emma had a hard time learning to sleep at night when she was an infant. We wanted to swaddle her but were afraid to leave a blanket in the crib with her. A wearable blanket was a totally different story. When we swaddled her in a sleepsack, she slept six hours straight — a record for us!

HALO has generously dontated SleepSacks to each of the 30-Day Giving Challenge bloggers. We’ll be donating our SleepSacks to local charities or to the virtual baby shower Myra’s having for her local crisis pregnancy center.

The unique HALO SleepSack wearable blanket replaces loose blankets in the crib. In addition to sleeping safer, the HALO SleepSack wearable blanket helps babies sleep better too. It’s a warm, cuddly blanket they can’t kick off, ensuring baby sleeps soundly throughout the night. And when baby is sleeping safe and sound, moms and dads can rest easy.

HALO has also offered us each a SleepSack to give away. If you’d like to win a HALO SleepSack, now’s your chance!

To Enter:

  • Leave a comment. You can share an idea for giving if you’d like, but it’s not required.

Extra Entries (Leave a separate comment for each.):

  • Subscribe to Saving & Giving via RSS or Email.
  • Like Halo Sleepack on Facebook or follow Halo Sleepsack  on Twitter.

This giveaway will end on Wednesday (11/17) at 9 p.m. EST. The winner will be drawn randomly, and notified via email.

The other bloggers leading the 30-Day Giving Challenge are also giving away HALO SleepSacks. Stop by each of their sites for 3 more chances to win!

    a few years ago, we were moving one month after my daughter’s birthday.

    for her party that year, she asked her friends to bring a gift for the local women’s shelter, instead of for her… since we didn’t need to pack extra items!!
