Want to Win Adorable Beach Gear from Pottery Barn Kids?
July 16th, 2010
The perfect beach towels for toddlers and preschoolers.
Each Saturday morning, my son and I head down to the beach to eat breakfast, quack at the ducks, hide our legs in the sand and push a few trains across the pebbles and through the waves.
I’d given up on finding a good beach towel, one with generous length that washed well, dried quickly, takes up little space and had a hood, mostly because I couldn’t be bothered to go out of my way for a good hunt. But when I popped into my local PBK to pick up some big-boy sheets (love that they’re pre-washed, so you know how they’ll really feel), we spotted this great hooded beach wrap (perfect for kids who won’t stand still long enough for you to rub them down) and a cutie matching Klean Kanteen (our favourite top-functioning water bottle).
I’d forgotten about Pottery Barn. Truth be told, I hadn’t been there since buying the sweet baby sheets we’ve grown out of (sniff). But I’m glad to be back, and happy to see how much more eco the offerings are these days. Our sheets? Organic. The other PBK textiles, towels included? Oeko-Tex certified free of carcinogens, pesticides, etc. And Klean Kanteen? Our non-toxic favourite since pre-baby days.
Hooray! And I have a way to make you happy too. When I talked to my lovely friend at Pottery Barn Kids, she offered to give away to our readers a Turtle Beach Wrap, an Octopus Beach Wrap, a pink dot Klean Kanteen and a navy skateboard camo Klean Kanteen.
So, if you’d like to win one, please leave me a comment below letting me know what brand of swimsuit you wear. I’m on the hunt for something remotely flattering, so I don’t look too ramshackle beside my beautiful son.

UPDATE: Thanks for all your comments! The winners have been drawn. and I’ll keep you posted on my swimsuit hunt. I still haven’t bought my new suit (trying one on with a toddler in tow was a mistake), but I’m choosing online. I missed the one I wanted at Lime Ricki, so I’m picking from J Crew because I want this suit to look good for a long time :)
