Giveaway: hoops&yoyo
How about we go a little outside of the box with this review? Explore a unique idea for a party favor? Have a little fun with hoops&yoyo? According to my sources at Hallmark, these are the most popular characters Hallmark offers.
What if, next time you threw a toddler party, you gave the moms a party favor instead of just the kids? They’ll share great memories and laughs at your toddler's birthday and then continue the laughs when the hostess offers an assortment of hoops&yoyo Happy Birthday sound cards to moms on their way out of the party. I don't know anyone who doesn't crack at least a small smile when they hear hoops&yoyo.
They can choose one and use them to send to one of their friends who has a birthday coming up. I’ve never seen anyone do this before but what a great idea/parting gift for moms who came and gave of their time/money making your toddler’s experience a great one.
Another out of the box idea is to throw a hoops&yoyo party. The pink and green colors can be used together or alone to fit either a boy or a girl theme. Or if your party is like ours will be next week, they can work together for a gender neutral party. Favors could include the hoops&yoyo plushes, CDs, or sound buttons. You can also use the cards online as e-invitations. There are several free cards to choose from that can be modified to do this.
What about serving your cake on a plate with your toddler's face? Hallmark has several customizable plate designs to choose from for people of all ages. Of course they have a hoops&yoyo plate, but they also have plates that can be customized for more formal affairs such as anniversary dinners. It is kind of fun to play with the plate customizer too, even if you didn't end up ordering one, your toddler would probably have fun seeing their picture on one of these plates.
One of the nice thing about a hoops&yoyo theme is that you can purchase your supplies online if you have plenty of time or you can go to your local Hallmark store (call 1-800-HALLMARK to fine one that carries what you are looking for).
My contact at Hallmark (the one who came up with some of these great, out of the box ideas,) sent me 2 hoops&yoyo cards and 2 hoops&yoyo CDs to give away to 2 different readers - 1 card and CD per person.

FTC Disclosure: I received no products from Hallmark to facilitate my giveaway; only the giveaway products to share with two of my readers, were provided.
I had never heard of hoops and yoyo before. Granted, I tend to stay away from the mall, so I don't get into a Hallmark very often. They were very cute tho! I also hadn't thought of going to Hallmark.com and sending e-cards. I think my kids will get a kick out of sending them to our extended family out of state!

ReplyDeleteI visited their site and couldn't stop laughing. I've never heard of them before, but now I can't wait to show my 9 year ols! I learned they are supposed to be a pink cat and green bunny. I wouldn't have realized that (sadly) on my own.
