Ok, this giveaway is just AWESOME and if I were eligible I’d be madly entering right now to try to win this for my friend who’s due next month. Alas, I can’t enter, but YOU can!

Now, I haven’t tried this product - Rachael is going to be testing it when her little one comes this winter and will give you a full product review then. However, we just couldn’t wait to do the giveaway, so here it is:

We’re giving away 1 Serena & Lily Market Sling - valued at $129.

Yup, that’s right - one of the hottest baby products out there right now, so hot it was even featured in the June 25th issue of People magazine! I loved wearing my babies, so I’m just SO jealous of anyone who wins this.

The product description on the website states:

Our signature slings are crafted with beautiful hand-embroidery on 100% organic cotton* with a super-soft brushed interior that is gentle against baby’s delicate skin. The simplified design - one seamless piece of fabric without buckles, belts or straps - is snug, sleek and easy to wear.

The sling comes in three color combinations - Grass/Marigold, Flax/Sky Blue, and Cloud/Petal - and 3 sizes. The website gives a great description on how to measure to decide which size will fit.

How to enter:

This is pretty darn easy - all you need to do is:

1) Take a look at the Serena & Lily website and pick the color you like best
2) Make a comment here telling which color you would like if you won and
3) What you like about the sling and
4) Who would benefit from the sling if you won - you? a daughter? a friend?

Gain another entry by tweeting about the contest - then reply to @thismommygig telling that you did so.

Contest open to U.S. entrants only - so sorry!

Contest will be open until August 1st.

Winner is picked by a random number generator and winner will be notified by email within 1 day of winning. If winner doesn’t respond within 48 hours of email being sent, a new winner will be chosen.
