Birthday Giveaway: hushamok
Now that I have recovered from my pregnancy shock, I have, admittedly, been viewing baby gear with a decidedly more interested eye (we donated many of our wee things because I was convinced we were done). And I was intrigued when hushamok came onto my radar. Beautifully modern in design, free of noisy (and unnecessary, in my opinion) bells and whistles, and constructed of organic materials, hushamok's beautiful hammocks and seats have a wonderfully natural vibe -- both in styling and also because they take advantage of natural movement as a soothing mechanism. I recently saw the hushamok dream at my friend Braden's house, and not only did I want to crawl in for a cozy snooze, but her baby was, in fact, sleeping happily and peacefully in it. And as part of my Boston Mamas Fourth Birthday Giveaway Series, hushamok generously is gifting one lucky winner with their Organic Cotton Hammock ($195 value). Simply check out the rules below and leave a comment on this giveaway by Monday, August 16, to enter to win.
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
Congrats to winner Corey!

Rules:
*One lucky winner (drawn randomly via Random.org) will receive a hushamok hammock. The winner will be notified directly via e-mail, then listed back at this post using first name only.

The hushamok looks amazing! This certainly would come in handy with twins on the way!

We're having twins in October, and I think they would LOVE this! So would mom since it even has a travel bag to go with it. Thanks!

I saw something like this when I was pregnant with my first son but went for a used contraption with lights and buttons and all sorts of non-necessary things. For our next baby, the hushamok would be PERFECT.
Hope I win :)

I absolutely love this hammock! I've been researching solutions for a baby bed that won't take up as much space in our tiny house and found this to be the perfect fit. It's stylish, organic, and safe..what more could an expectant mother want??

The hushamok hammock looks absolutely wonderful for a new baby. I love that it's made of organic materials and provides a "soothing natural motion". A marvelous giveaway!

My Dad says I was one of those babies who absolutely, positively needed a swing to sleep peacefully. I'm fully expecting my little one on the way to be the same and I think the hammock would be wonderful. Plus, I love the music at the huskamok website. :)

Such an unusual design, yet brilliant. After perusing their other products, it's obvious that all of their merchandise is extremely awesome!

I love that it helps with Flat Head Syndrome. My one daughter had a problem with that and we had to keep changing which side we put her to sleep. What a wonderful hammock.

I went to the site and love this product! Colic has been a big problem for my children. I love this quote, "...Hushamok’s baby hammock has been designed to mimic this womb-like environment for newborn sleep and to minimize symptoms of infant colic." That's fantastic :)

With baby #3 on the way, I would like to give this a try. Our first two kids were screaming all the time and were very hard to get to sleep. We tried to construct a baby hammock, but it didn't work so well. I think this would be perfect for us.
Posted by: LaurenS | August 16, 2010 5:10 PM | Reply to this comment
Wow, these look great! My son had a terrible time with reflux during his first few months - it looks like one of these might have saved us then. I love all of the attention paid to safety in the hushamok v. amby section. I would LOVE to try one!
