Review & Giveaway: Real Boys Wear Pink!

November 23, 2010 by Sarah

Please note: while comments on this post continue to be welcome, the giveaway is now over.

I got all happy when designer Kris Garst contacted me last week about the new Real Boys Wear Pink clothing & accessory line from her company, Squishylicious. Kris created the line of clothing and other cool stuff in response to the color stereotypes she encountered after her twin sons were born. “My boys love pink and purple, so I hate to see them stuck with traditional ‘boy’ colors,” she told me. Kris found a broader color palate for boys in Germany, where she lives with her family, than she did in the US, and wanted to make more color and design options available for kids and grownups all over the world.

(To enter to win something Squishylicious, you’ll need to leave a comment at the end of this post. The winner will be randomly selected and notified by email—so please either friend me on facebook or include your email address in your comment so I will be able to find you if you win.) If you don’t need a t-shirt, you can choose a onesie or a sweatshirt (there are grown-up sizes too…don’t miss the the pink hoodie and the Squishylicious boxers). And if clothes aren’t your thing, check out the water bottles, tote bags, BBQ aprons, mugs, and more. My favorite is the black cap.

I also like her Tees for Tutus line, which would work oh-so-well on the little pink boys you know.

And if you don’t win this giveaway (or you do, but you HAVE to have more), visit Squishylicious. You can support a mama-owned business, take care of your holiday shopping, and subvert gender stereotypes all in one swoop.

The contest ends this Sunday at midnight. Post your comments and spread the word!

Testimonials

“Sarah and Ian were so thoughtful in providing just-right content for our kindergarteners all the way up to our older students. Their loving and honest stories, easy back-and-forth with one another, and humorous delivery of a delicate topic made this sensitive, yet oh-so-critical topic digestible and relatable. This is a conversation that I hope students, teachers, and parents will continue to have with more ease thanks to the Hoffmans. I’m so grateful to them for sharing their gift of their family’s journey, and their beautiful storytelling, with our entire school community.”
