***This post is a review of a product my daugter and I were allowed to try and keep. I was in no way compensated beyond the toy and hysterical pictures that came as a result.***
I am not a crafty person. At all. If it can’t be made in a kitchen and eaten or made on a computer it doesn’t get made in my house.
Craft stores such as Michael’s and JoAnn’s are hardly ever (EVER) graced with my presence.
All of a sudden things changed, there’s this new toy you can get at both of the above mentioned stores called a Smooshie. (The name is what got me first, hello? That’s what we used to call my kid. Only after the fact did I realize that these mythical creatures reside in craft stores.)
A Smooshie is basically a monster body with a whole mess of parts you can put on however you desire. Sure you could make one, but why? They’re so cute and already made! No sewing required for only $9.99.

(Want to see our Smooshie desires? OKAY!)






You want to play with one don’t you?
OKAY!
I’m giving one away!
All you need to do is leave a comment telling me who would be the lucky recipient of the Smooshie and you’re entered!
Tweet about it for an extra entry.
You’ll have until midnight EST on Sunday August 23rd to get your entries in.
Good luck and may the Smoosh be with you!

My seven-year-old son would be the lucky recipient of the Smooshie! His brothers each have really cool lovies to sleep with (the three-year-old has a bear with a g-tube that matches his from Build-a-Bear; we love them for being willing to customize toys with Durable Medical Equipment! The five-year-old has a “Wild Thing;” his is the one with the horns) and the seven-year-old (who is still a big ole baby at heart) has a little beanie dog that is falling apart and not big enough to hug. I’d love to give him something special of his own and he would love the silliness of the thing

My fiance’s nickname for me is Smushy… he pronnounces it with a U (uhhsh), although I pronnounce it with the ooosh sound. So this toy reminds me of that, and its so cute!
But I wouldn’t keep it for myself, I’d give it to my cousin as a 3rd bday present. She’d love it!

Well, with three boys in my house, I’d have to say that the oldest would get the Smooshie, but then the twins would want one of their own, so I’d go and buy two more just to keep everyone happy.
So, bottom line, I would be the best winner for this give-away because I’d be BUYING MORE if I won!
