WEEK ONE HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA!

WEEK ONE! HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA GIFT GUIDE!

Parents with Style has a ton of awesome products to share from our Holiday Gift Guide 2009!
Today is the launch of week one and you can keep checking back for week 2, 3, and 4! We will have lots of contests and great products that you haven't seen before!







We had 6 families testing all of our Holiday finds and we will bring you all of their top picks! One of the most popular picks for this Holiday is the Collection from BABY EGGI!





Baby Eggi's Collection of Clothing for boys and girls is phenominal! Each season they out due themselves and come out with the most adorable collections. Not to mention the fabric choices and the high quality is the best I have seen. They have wonderful original artwork offered on most of their collection, so your child won't be wearing the same clothing as the neighbor kid. Another great part of BABY EGGI is that they give back!

Read this straight from their site. Giving back never looked and felt so good.For the founders of Baby Eggi, having a charitable component to their company not only seemed responsible but natural. Through the Good Eggi program, Jennifer and Julie’s goal is to provide much needed funds to a network of grassroots non-profit organizations dedicated to making the lives of children better, and to pass on the important principle of giving back to the community. To this end, the Good Eggi program has been designed to allow customers to actively participate in donating 20% of Baby Eggi’s net proceeds to charity. Parents with Style is proud to recommend a fabulous company like BABY EGGI.

Voice Lessons to go!


Voice Lessons To Go Makes a Fun and Unique Gift

Our testers families raved about Voice Lessons to Go!
Until now, private voice training has been expensive, and not everyone has access to quality vocal teachers in their communities. Now Ariella Vaccarino, an opera singer and experienced teacher based in Los Angeles has changed that. She is the creator of Voice Lessons To Go, an innovative website and line of fun, flexible vocal training products designed to put quality singing within reach for the masses. “Singing brings joy to people’s lives and gives confidence,” Ariella believes.
Developed from her own life experiences, Ariella’s CDs promotes healthy, comfortable, natural singing which the person who unwraps your gift will appreciate. “Singing should be an extension of speech,” she explains. “I teach my students to produce full sound, using the strengths of their own bodies, with nothing pushed, nothing painful, and no mimicking.”
Perhaps you have children who are aspiring singers in your life looking for a more individualized experience than can be achieved through the CD lessons alone? How about the gift of a vocal assessment performed by a professional vocalist with 15 years of voice teaching experience?
The lucky recipient of your gift can submit her voice and questions via the Internet and receive a vocal assessment of varying complexity depending upon your budget:
For $9.99 (the price of a stocking stuffer), she can submit one minute of her voice, and Ariella will share her first impression. Looking for deeper feedback? Spend $39.99 enabling her to send along 3 songs and 7 questions and Ariella will give her full assessment and recommend song choices and exercises for her unique voice—all guaranteed within one week.
You can pick up her four-volume Voice Lessons To Go CD box set for $59.99, or if you’ve got a long gift list and you’re watching your spending, you can give just one CD from the series for $19.99 (then follow up with the others on future holidays and birthdays and other special occasions). Parents with Style highly recommends this as a top Holiday pick.
The range of products and pricing in the Voice Lessons To Go line makes becoming a better singer a fun, affordable reality for everyone this holiday season. Anywhere, anytime voice lessons make the perfect gift for Christmas, Chanukah or Kwanzaa.
