Featured Review:
Oriental Trading Company
Before I had kids, I always tossed the
Oriental Trading Company
catalogs when they came in the mail. I thought it was all just little
trinket junk that would clutter my house. But then I had toddlers.
Toddlers who enjoyed doing crafts, who needed little gifts to exchange
with friends, and who could be occupied on airplanes and in cars with
coloring and opening gift bags.
The first time that I ordered from Oriental Trading Company, I
ordered small. Just a few little items so that I could see what the
quality was like. It was inexpensive enough that I could afford to lose
it if the whole box was worthless. Was I surprised! My experience was so
great that by Christmas, I was ordering $75 worth of products at a
time--and that $75 resulted in big boxes of games, prizes, and crafts.
Further than the same amount of money could go even at the local dollar
store.
So what am I spending all of this money on, and why do I recommend
them so highly? Their products range from holiday crafts to religious
toys to prizes for parties. For Christmas, my daughter made for friends
and family handmade felt stockings, snowflake bookmarks, and sun-catcher
ornaments. We wrapped them in gift bags that both of the girls had
colored. In addition to the gifts, we had huge rolls of stickers to play
with, coloring sets to give to classmates, and various Thanksgiving
crafts for our trip to see grandma in Florida.
Christmas being over, it is now the perfect time both to stock up on
the discounted holiday items from last year and also order February,
March, and April items. For less than $1 a piece, your kids can make
Valentine's mailboxes. For less than 50 cents a piece, they can make
magnetic photo frames. For about a quarter a piece, they can make fuzzy
Valentine's magnets. (My girls are partial to all of the "fuzzy"
coloring items).
Thinking ahead to Easter? How about crafts for the kids to make to
include with the cards you send to family members? Stickers and games
for the baskets...smaller items for filling the Easter Eggs for the
hunt! You will not be disappointed in the selection or value for the
money when you order from Oriental Trading Company.
Even better, once you become a customer, you will start getting their
catalogs regularly with offers of free shipping and extra discounts off
of the catalog prices. In my experience, their turnaround time on orders
is very quick, and I have never had the order arrive inaccurate in any
way. If you have any questions about particular items that I tend to
order, feel free to email me at
tricia@helpingmomsconnect.com. I hope that you will have as good an
experience with
Oriental Trading Company as I have!
