Foxy Baby Boutique Review {Plus a giveaway!}

Recently, I was given the opportunity to sample some products from Foxy Baby Boutique.

Foxy Baby Boutique offers great items like made hair bows, bow holders, hair clips, fairy wands, tutu's and head bands, all at reasonable prices.

I was excited when Korinn Fox, owner of Foxy Baby Boutique, offered to let me review some of the products she sells. I have a very girly two-year-old daughter, with an abundance of hair and a bow collection to match. So any time I have the opportunity to add to her bow collection, I'm all about it!

The items she sent included one of her new fairy wands, a fun fleur-de-lis hair bow and two argyle ribbon-lined clippies. It's a cute handmade package, well made, and priced at $20 for everything.

I knew the fairy wand would be a real hit with my daughter. According to Korinn, "The fairy wands I make are so much nicer than the plastic ones sold in stores. The wand is made of wood and is covered with ribbon." The wand is made of a puff of tulle atop a dowel rod that is lined in ribbon. Two corkscrew ribbon lengths and two pearly strands dangle from the tulle. Korinn has put much effort into making this a quality product.

Although the wand is fun and whimsical for any princess-loving child, I do recommend these fairy wands for older children. As a mom, I must put out a fair warning that the pearly strands could pose a choking hazard for younger children and babies. At the age of two, my daughter will be allowed to play with her wand only under my supervision.

The hair bow she sent is simply adorable. The ribbon is pink with a black fleur-de-lis pattern printed on it. The bow is attached to an alligator clip, proven to be perfect for most any application, whether it be holding the hair out of my daughter's face, glamming up her ponytail, or clipping it to a cute hat.

The clippies set consists of two alligator clips, lined with pink and black argyle ribbon. They go right along with the above hair bow in color and style. I found no issue of glue globs or fraying ribbon ends with any of her products, as she takes the time to heat seal all ribbon ends. This is an important step when making hair bows, as I have lost a few favorite hair accessories to unfortunate frayed ends.

All the items Korinn sent me were made by hand, and made well. It is obvious that Korinn puts a lot of time and love into her work. She handmakes every item she sells, and takes the necessary steps to ensure they will last. Check out some of the other items found on her Facebook page.

Here, Korinn tells us a little bit about herself.

"I am a mother of two little girls and I started this in 2009 when my first daughter was born and I could not find cute accessories in the mainstream stores. So I sat down and started making my own. Once I started, I fell in love with making them and all the endless possibilities of colors and styles. I had many people ask me about the bows I made for my girls and started making them for others and Foxy Baby Boutique was born."
