Baby’s Bottom Line Review - Po Po’s Ponchos Giveaway!
I had a lot of ponchos when I was little. It was the ’70s, and my grandmother knitted them for me. One of them was two shades of blue…like a big, fringed, knitted diamond that pulled over my head. It had pockets with little crocheted flowers on them and a matching purse. My grandmother had some game. I knit baby blankets for my nieces and nephews. They typically come out a very strange shape. I haven’t yet ventured into knitting anything anyone would actually need to wear. Except that one time I tried knitting a mitten. When I finished, it looked like an oven mitt. I stitched a little snowflake into it and my mom uses it as a door decoration at Christmas. She fills it with greens and holly sprays. I am not kidding.
Karen at Po Po’s Ponchos has come to the rescue of all of us who can’ t knit anything children could actually wear, by creating the softest, snuggiest, fleece and sweatshirt fleece ponchos imaginable. Promise number one, they won’t itch the way the knitted ones from 1976 did. All the trim is 100% cotton. Oh and did I mention they are adorable?
When the winter coat is too hot and it’s too cool to go without anything, reach for a poncho. When the idea of trying to wrangle your wiggling wee one into a jacket and zip it up or button it seems like so much work that you’ll wait and go to Target tomorrow when it’s warmer, reach for a poncho. Or if your girl likes to wear things that are fancy and you like her to wear things that are warm and hooded, reach for a poncho. Did I mention they are adorable?
We love Po Po’s Ponchos for so many reasons. This is a mom-owned and run business. Karen was inspired to make these ponchos by her daughter, Lily, and each one is made in Vancouver, British Columbia. The ponchos come in three sizes and fit children ages 0 - 6. The hoodies are lined with the same cute contrasting fabric that makes the front pocket. Did I mention they are adorable?
And here’s the best part of all. Just in time for the holidays, Karen is offering one lucky Babies Gotta Have It reader a chance to win a free poncho! Any style! Any size! As long as it’s in stock when the giveaway is over. Woo Hoo! Happy Holidays!
To Enter the Po Po’s Ponchos Giveaway:

I love these, they are so beautiful and obviously soft! What a great family business!
I couldn’t tell if they are for boys or girls, but I guess they are unisex? I think my son would like Ice Mint in Microfleece in size 4.
My email is darla.dixon[AT]gmail.com
Thanks for the great blog giveaway!

I THINK I would pick the Tiger Scoop in Microfleece, but it is hard to say! They are ALL so cute! My dd is all about the accessories/hats/gloves ANYTHING that she thinks makes her “look coooooool” (she just turned 4 but she has been this way for over 2 yrs now, no joke)! I would probably let HER pick out which she liked best IF IF IF I were to win
This is the first time I have visited your blog (I think lol, I have momma-brain so it isn’t completely unfathomable that I might have and have forgotten, but I don’t THINK I have) and I am so happy you posted on Contests 4 Moms and that I found your listing! Thanks so much for that (gonna add this to my list of “must visit” blogs)!
Fantacy said,
November 26, 2008 @ 12:47 am
Lol I was reading your other blog just a second ago and saw your posts about cutting li’l ones bangs…IF you get the nerve to do it again, section it off (so that you have a nice part and ONLY what you want to be bangs) and twist it until it is like a “rope” as my dd calls it…then snip right at the eyebrow level! They come out great every time and have a VERY slight angle to them so they don’t look quite so sharp edged! (That’s how I cut my bangs too when I have them)
Allison said,
November 26, 2008 @ 12:56 am
Wow… It’s hard to choose just one!! I think I’d pick the Rose Tea in Microfleece , but it’s almost a tie with the Blueberry Cheesecake - Micro Fleece

We’re struggling with getting a coat on her to keep her warm…the midwest chill is brutal! This would be perfect. I hope to win as she has the cast on until Christmas. sniff, sniff!!

I love the blueberry cheesecake…so cute! You are right, this would be ideal…I never want to put Caleb in his winter coat for riding in the car, but it’s such a pain to put on a coat and take it off every time we get in or out of the car! And, better yet, I wouldn’t get all of the comments from greatgrandmothers and grandmothers telling me to make sure he’s warm enough. Argh.
