Freebies » Hip to be Mom

It’s time to jump in and work off all those holiday cookies. Even if you’re not chasing that elusive New Year’s resolution or trying to lose weight, this is a great time to start getting into shape, just in time for bikini and tank top season.

The way we’re joined at the fingertips to our computer keyboard, anyone could use a good sweat these days. Here are my picks of workout wear that’s not only stylish and comfortable but also keeps you cool when you perspire. I could really use one of these in my gym where the folks prefer to work out without the air-conditioning or the fan, go figure . Anyhoo, here goes.

Harlow Tank (with removable cups)

Marilyn Tank (with removable cups)

Straight Leg Capri

Short-Sleeve Alexis Hoodie

Grace V Tank (with removable cups)

This is a Zobha original. 10% of each Grace Tank sale goes to benefit Headstand, an organization that brings yoga to youth-at-risk.

Oh, by the way, did I mention you get to enjoy free shipping at the Zobha shop as often as you shop, no code required?

Since I featured some gift ideas and stocking stuffers for the girls earlier (and some of you moms said you wouldn’t mind receiving some of those funky items yourself), I decided I didn’t want to leave out the guys. So I went window-shopping again and picked out a few items, which if I were a guy (or a tomboy ), I would love to receive.

Spicoli 4 Shades
I like that these are shaped like the Rayban Wayfarer.

Bolted Wallet
Love the clean lines on this wallet. Such a nice change from the regular old leather wallet.

Switch Blade Keychain
Practical functionality, what’s not to love?

Jibby Fedora, Men
Reminds me of Johnny Depp .

Gudauskas Brothers E-Street, Men
My teens are big fans of Vans super-cool 2-tone shoes.

Vans has some pretty cool stuff and my teens love their wallets, T-shirts and of course, their shoes. Now you can receive a Free $15 eGift Certificate and Free FedEx 2-Day shipping on orders of $75 or more at Vans. Be sure to use the code – THEBLOCK – at checkout. Offer ends December 16, 2011.

Jessica Simpson’s ss-slinky shopping bag

I want a new handbag! No, make that, I need a new handbag! Okay, so I’m not much of an animal lover especially when it comes to something that makes that sss-sound. But this Jessica Simpson Python Boulevard Shopper bag does look kinda cool, don’t you think?

Thank god it’s made of high quality synthetic leather and not real snake skin so no slimy, slinky animals (eww!) were harmed in the making of this here bag!

Oh, did I mention Baghaus is having their Easter Sale right now with 7 newly-added styles to choose from? Yeah, man, go get the details now. You won’t be sorry but you’ll need to get there quick, sale ends April 12. 2009.

The sun is out and it’d be great to get out of the house. If you’re mom with kids headed for the beach or a pool party, you wanna check these out.

Confession, I’m a sucker for coordinated collections. I learnt early on that since I have so much stuff to lug around when I go swimming with the kids, I’d better have everything in matching design so I can easily recognize my stuff.

I’m gonna need a Crazy Daisy Large Tote for all our swimming gear and a fresh change of clothes.

Knowing us, one bag won’t be enough for all our stuff. So my teen princesses will have to have their own Crazy Daisy Backpack.

And of course, we’ll need a Crazy Daisy Double Handle Cosmetic Case for all our creams, sun block and stuff…

… and a waterproof Crazy Daisy Shower Caddy for our 101 little bottles of hair shampoo, conditioner, body shampoo and hair brushes.

Not forgetting a Crazy Daisy Large Cooler for drinks and snacks. Having fun can make you extremely hungry, I can vouch for that !

Did I miss anything? Or anyone? Oh ya, our macho-macho guy wouldn’t wanna be seen in anything so sissy now, would he? Guess it’ll have to be this Check It Out Boy’s Towel & Sling Backpack.

Neat, eh? By the way, if you’re as big a sucker for coordinated collections as I am, I found these at Room It Up! They also have the coolest stuff for spring break and graduation gifts with free shipping on orders above $60.

Recently I’ve been going on and on about giraffe print bags and it looks like someone at Baghaus must’ve heard me and decided to give away a free giraffe or contemporary wallet with any order of $60 or more. Yes, I love freebies! Who doesn’t?

But this sort of offer doesn’t come around every day. If you’ve been dreaming of giraffes, you really must check out this offer but only while stocks last! So my advice is don’t dally!
