THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW OVER --
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!
I absolutely love this time of year and can't wait for the costumes and the treats! So I want to give a special treat to one of you.
Right now one of my major focuses is letting the world know about my new product.
People who don't know FLIPZLES exist can't know how cool they are. I want people to see and hear about my new product so that they know there are toymakers out there who care about creating toys that stimulate both sides of children's brains and don't need all the flashing lights and electronic features.
As a small company based out of my garage word of mouth is a wonderful starting point to let people know about FLIPZLES. www.flipzles.com
As you can tell from my puzzles -- I love toys -- and besides painting puzzle designs for my FLIPZLES I also have a love for painting Nesting Dolls. I currently am not selling any of my nesting dolls or taking orders since I am focusing on my puzzles but---
I am giving away this Haunted House nesting doll that I painted along with a FLIPZLE to the winner of of this Spread the Word Giveaway.

Each method of sharing you list will get you one entry in the giveaway.

So far I've commented on my facebook about how excited I am to be getting the castle flipzle for my son's birthday (buying it on Thursday!) and have already had a few friends ask questions and say how they are interested in them. I've also talked about them on the phone to a few people :) and told the people at two stores you mentioned selling your flipzles to about how awesome they are and that they are way better than melissa and doug.
ReplyDeleteAlso linked back to your facebook page and reviewed your house flipzle on amazon :) (kilthas reviewer on the 9th)
DeleteLove, love, love! I have been posting on Facebook and scheduled a PARTY! I will also send out an email and Pin it. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think Flipzels are such an awesome idea!!! I'll share on Facebook and pin on Pinterest. I'd also be happy to take in a pamphlet or demo to the Strong National Museum of Play and the few high-end toy stores I know of in this area. Message me on Facebook if you would like me to. I live in the Rochester, New York area. :)Merry Kjar Braithwaite

These are awesome Vicki!!
I've shared the news on Facebook . . . and I've also been talking to just about everyone I know about these puzzles, although I have no proof of that ;-) This is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI have been promoting in Cody, Powell, Lovell and Afton, Wyoming.
ReplyDeleteI also put a link on my Facebook page and sent emails to most all of my contacts telling them to enter this give away.
1. I emailed my mommy friends that would like this!
ReplyDelete2. Shared on my FB
I've been promoting on Facebook; I've posted links on my Facebook page a couple times, then I've also posted the link on my husban's (Schuyler's) Facebook page.
ReplyDeleteI actually told my mother-in-law about the FLIPZLES website because she works with a lot of physical therapists and occupational therapist for Kaiser Permanente. Wooden puzzles help in these positions because of how they help a child's hand/eye coordination as well as their fine motor skills. Puzzles also help them with problem solving skills and by having them in fun shapes, it is a game to them.
ReplyDeleteMy kids love Flipzles. We have the Pirate Ship and the House. What a fun thing for kids to play with! I shared it on my facebook and I emailed friends:)
ReplyDeleteWe love them. :) Told the neighbors and sent them links to them. :)
ReplyDeleteLove them! Spreading the word through nursery and school friends.
ReplyDeleteI love them. I have told the people at my office about them and think that they would be good for kids. My grandkids love them too. I really need to get some for Xmas.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Vic.
ReplyDelete1. I shared on FB.
2. I Send a link to your website and video to a new kids place in our town called Piccadilly Play Cafe.
Here's to you!
The pirate ship has been a huge hit at my house. Not only do the kids love it, but every time my four nieces come over it is the first thing that they go for. When my mom was visiting she noted that the fights over the wii were not as intense as everyone was playing with the pirate ship. I am giving them as Christmas presents to all the kids this year.
ReplyDeleteWe love our Flipzles- they're beautiful and sturdy toys. I can't wait to share them with our family this holiday!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! My kids would love one!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a Flipzle yet but they look darling! You are very talented!!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't Sure how to post a comment so Im trying Anonymous, Its Caroline Bigelow :)
I shared the link for your website on Facebook :) Can't wait to see them in person! I'm going to email the link to my in-laws who would totally love this idea for grandkids! ~Keli
ReplyDeleteAaron loved these when he came over to visit you guys. Shared with all my friends and family. and I cant wait to buy one.
ReplyDeleteI shared with all my Bunco ladies tonight. They loved them!
ReplyDeleteHey Vicki, I shared on Facebook and I want the Castle one for Q for Christmas. I will pick it up this week when I go out to gather my midnight madness stuff from everyone. They are darling.
ReplyDeleteHey I pinned it the first time I saw it)
ReplyDeleteI facebooked it today!
Thats two!
you are amazing!
I put it on facebook- you are so talented! What unique puzzles!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen these before until Jenny Johnson (above :) posted them on FB. Are you looking to sell in brick-and-mortar stores? There is an amazing toy store in Arvada, CO called Jake's Toy Box (they are also on FB) that specializes in creative, thinking toys and this might be a good fit. I'm friends with the owners and often give feedback on their stock. You could either contact them directly or I can bring them a flyer, show them your website, or whatever else you prefer. As they are a family-owned/operated business, they also love supporting other small businesses. :)
ReplyDeleteErika -- I will send you a message :) thanks so much!
DeleteShared link on Facebook to 214 friends that you and I do not have in common.
ReplyDeleteAlso, just purchased a Pirate Ship Flipzles.
ReplyDeleteI shared it on Facebook and also emailed it to one of my google groups
