Chic Shopper Chick Giveaway: Boon Snack Ball and Flo

I've already professed my love and admiration for every Boon Product that I have ever met -- like this super cool Frog Pod that hangs in Little AG's bathroom, and this way awesome Animal Bag that holds all of her stuffed animals in one place and functions as a soft seat when it's full. Well, I wanted to introduce you to two more of my favorite innovative products by Boon, so read on!

The Snack Ball

The first one is the Snack Ball! Before I say anything else, let me say that it is BPA Free, PVC Free, and phthalate-free! I know that most of you, like me, have major concerns over what toxic things the stuff we give our kids contains -- and things they eat out of are, naturally, of special concern. Aside from being free of all of that yucky stuff, it is way cool!

First of all, the two halves unscrew for you to clean, and I suppose to put in a small amount of snackable materials -- though I prefer to pour as many extra pieces as I can through the top to get the most mileage out of it! (A walk around my neighborhood is a good 2.5 miles -- I've gotta keep her quiet and happy somehow!) The little orange part at the top swivels open to reveal the snacks, and it's the perfect size for Little AG to fit her little fingers into. Plus, I can throw it in the diaper bag or under our stroller and not worry about crushing whatever is in there because the Snack Ball is "crush proof" -- which is a bonus in our house since I'm rather good at accidentally crushing or breaking things. I'm starting to think Boon made this product with me in mind! You can buy a Snack Ball on Boon's website for $6.49.

Flo

Flo is one nifty little invention, let me tell ya. First off, we had one of those faucet covers for the bathtub so little AG wouldn't bump her head. The problem was that anytime family came to visit and stayed over, they had to fight to pull the thing off so that they could get to the little switch to convert it from bath to shower. Flo has solved that problem right away. We have ditched our other faucet cover (sorry Mr. Froggie) in favor of Flo!

Secondly, we have one of those "rinsing" cups that is supposed to conform to Little AG's head so that when we wash the shampoo out of her hair it doesn't get in her eyes. M'kay -- in theory, that's fine and dandy. The thing I didn't think of was figuring out how to get her to look up and stay looking up while I rinsed her hair. Flo has again solved another problem for us -- the soft rubber piece on the bottom serves to deflect the stream of water to create a type of waterfall that gently sprays out instead of down. It's entertaining and useful -- especially when it comes to rinsing hair!

Lastly, the bottom part of Flo, as I mentioned above is a soft rubber, so it doesn't hurt if Little AG bumps her head on it. It was super easy to clamp on (I got it from the box to our faucet in under 30 seconds) and stays put very well thanks to some well-placed rubber grips on the inside. It also serves as a bubble bath dispenser, though we can't use bubble bath in our house because of sensitive skin. You can buy Flo on Boon's website for $14.99.
