Today's giveaway is from Sakura Bloom, a sling company founded by a mother of two in Massachusetts. She crafts baby slings using all natural fibers: linen and silk. Slings are surprisingly easy to use, and your baby nestles cozily up against your heartbeat. I'm a huge fan of them, and Toby loves cuddling up in ours; they're a lifesaver if you have a fussy baby or want your little one to nap while you're on the go. And slings look beautiful, too--my friend even wore hers to a wedding! Today, Sakura Bloom is offering one lucky reader a $200 gift certificate to choose her favorite sling. Aren't they lovely? Which would you pick?
For a chance to win, please visit Sakura Bloom, and leave a comment below. A winner will be chosen at random tomorrow. Good luck! Update: Miki is our winner. Thanks for playing.

ReplyDeleteI just love their silk slings! Expecting baby number 2 in a few weeks and looking forward to more baby-wearing in my near future...
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting our first baby in August. I have a sneaking suspicion one of these beautiful slings will come in quite handy! Maybe I can sling my wiener dog Colonel until then? Or do they make a double sling? :)

ReplyDeleteI have been wanting a Sakura Bloom sling forever!!! any simple linen one would do!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the reversible linen slings...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI discovered these slings a few months ago - what a fantastic company, can't wait to get one!!

ReplyDeleteJennifer
I love these baby slings! I would love to win one of these for my sister who is having her second baby in March.
ReplyDeletei love the essential linen. the colors are beautiful! here's to hoping i win! ;)
ReplyDeleteI think I love the play slings just as much as the real deal! So cute!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful- I had never been to their site before, but I really like the linen slings!
ReplyDeleteI just came back from Ethiopia, where all the mommas carried their babes around with wraps. I love the idea of carrying a little one around, not just on the streets, but during mundane activities like doing the dishes.
ReplyDeleteI'm 38 weeks and would love one of these! The midnight-sandstone in silk is lovely.
ReplyDeleteOne of these beauties would be perfect for taking my five-month old daughter to my brother's wedding next month. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteThe Sakura slings are beautiful. I love the simple linen slings.
ReplyDeletebeautiful slings!!
ReplyDeleteI seriously love silk slings, and have "worn" my babe to a variety of events (weddings, horse races, engagement parties). You look great, your baby is happy and you are far more streamlined than carting around an awkward stroller/baby car seat.
ReplyDeleteThese ones are especially beautiful, and I was especially pleased to see a mens' section. (I can't get much of a break b/c my old one is pink silk which the mister is not interested in sporting!)
i've been looking for a sling that is comfortable for me and baby for a long time (my second is one now and still looking)...these look gorgeous and glad to have the recommendation...
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics and colors.. my expectant sister (of twins) would love one.
ReplyDeleteA coworker of mine works in the mental health field with me and is constantly on the go. She just had her baby a couple months ago and lugs her baby around in this ginormous car seat around with her! It's like 15 pounds! I feel so bad for her. This would be such a nice gift for her, especially because she works so hard helping others.
ReplyDeletePerfect timing! I'm due in May. I would choose a linen sling in blackberry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! Love their website :)
ReplyDeleteOh I have really been wanting one but as the owner of three other babywearing devices, I haven't justified the cost. Please pick me! They are so lovely and I'd love a purpley rose one.
ReplyDeleteparsonslena@gmail.com
I've heard nothing but great things about SB slings! I have a Beco baby carrier but would love a SB!
ReplyDeleteSo simple and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like the linen ones...but how do you choose a color?!?! All of them are so great.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, definitely to be handed around to all the parents in our group of friends
ReplyDeleteThis would be such a fantastic gift for my sister-in-law who is having her first baby in February!
ReplyDeletelove it!

ReplyDeleteThanks!
