Hey, don’t pull my monkey tail!

monkey tails blue zoo boutique reviewThose darn soothers…either you love them or you hate them.

No matter where you stand, if your kid is a sucky kid you just might be stuck with one.

If you are, there’s no better way to keep it off the floor and easily accessible than with Monkey Tails from mom-run Blue Zoo Boutique.

They start at just $10.95 and are 8-9″ in length 7/8″ wide. They’re just the perfect size for your baby or toddler. Monkey Tails attach to clothing with a silver mitten clip that has a plastic jaw to prevent clothing from tearing.

With all of the soother clips out there, you may be wondering what makes Monkey Tails unique from all the other soother holders on the market? Aside from the high quality construction, it’s the personalization option. Your child’s name (or the saying of your choice up to 8 letters) is added in silver alpha-blocks to a ring sewn right into the ribbon. The pictures on the site don’t do them justice - they are incredibly cute! With three pages of designs to choose from, there’s one for everyone on your new baby gift list.

Win it! We’re giving away a black toile monkey tail personalized with “I (heart) Mommy.” To enter, visit BlueZoo Boutique and leave a comment on this post listing one or more of the 453 products available at Blue Zoo Boutique that you’d love to have. One winner will be drawn at random after closing at noon MST on June 13/08.

Additional entries available. See contest entry information and rules.

    I agree, they are cute, but I was wondering…couldn’t the alpha-blocks be a chocking hazard? I don’t think I would have given this to my child…but then, I checked her buttons every time I dressed her to make sure they weren’t coming loose.
