Knot Genie Review/Giveaway
this review is done By Emptynester Reviews and Giveaways
I was not coerced in anyway to provide a positive review or in exchange for any monetary reimbursement.
Review: I took the Knot Genie over to my God Child Kelli Jo’s house, asking if I could brush her hair.(she has long blondringlets I just love!) She had been outside playing with her brother so she pulled off her stocking hat and said, “sure.” The Knot Genie was awesome! It glided right through her hair, when it would catch a little, it would release right away, gliding through the rest. After about 3 strokes per area, it was snarl free, her ringlets were cute as a button! She was so happy that it didn’t dig at her head or pull her hair out, as was I! I would have felt bad if I would have hurt her.
This brushes teeth are staggered, and bend easily so they don’t catch in a snarl and hold on tight until you pull it loose, taking hair roots with it. I love it and so does Kelli Jo and her mommy!
Kelli Jo had to try it on my hair also, and her mom’s, we were all impressed/amazed at the ease and pain free hair brushing session we got!
I definitely recommend Knot Genie to all ages!
P.S. My mom had my hair cut short when I was a child for not standing still and whining when she brushed my hair, I don’t think it was my fault though, she pulled hard!!
Magically gets rid of knots. Not to mention complaining.
The Knot Genie™ Detangling Brush was created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child’s hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you’ll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You’ve wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted.

Review: This is a must have gadget for every household, for kids-adults. Everyone needs USB storage these days for school work, picture/media storage, just backed up files off your hard drive of your PC/Laptop. Both my children, have carried the small USB thumb drives for years and constantly are searching in the bottom of their book bags for them and constantly losing them. They are never easily handy when they need them. You know the ones, keychain style that are small and black in color. MoH has come up with the solution! Numerous colored bracelet type USB storage you can wear on your wrist, clip around a belt loop, or even a strap on your purse or book bag. They have a nice tight closure that will not just open up and fall off, a major PLUS! They come in 2 or 4gb sizes depending on your needs you can choose from so many different styles and colors its fun! Everywhere you look these days people are wearing the rubberized wristbands for all different causes they support,these are just like them only cuter and functional! I absolutely love the one I got in the Milkyway colors as shown above in the blue,pink and black. It is brightly colored to not get lost easily and ready when I need to take it to get pictures printed at WalMart. I just ordered 2 more for each of my children to use, they always need new ones as they lose them, not I can be rest assured that they will be safely, securely, off to their endeavors with an MoH Band!
My daughter is in the RN nursing Program in a local college and my son is a junior in High School and they both use USB’s on a regular basis.
My son’s school went all Macbooks 2 yrs ago. Everything they do is off the laptop the school provides, papers, projects as well as homework. He uses his as back up for EVERYTHING!
You never know when you might drop that laptop and be out of luck for school the next day.
Overall rating from me= 5 STARS!!
The story behind the MoHBand™
The MoH Band™ was first conceived as a classroom project at Babson College in 2010. Andrew Kitzenberg, the founder of Memory on Hand, had lost numerous flash drives during his time at Babson. Regularly using them to backup papers and projects, there was usually a minor meltdown when one was lost. Realizing that many other students were having this same problem, Andrew conceived a new USB wristband that would be a fitting product solution. It was easy to keep track of and allowed him to always carry his important files on him. After playing around with the idea and testing designs Andrew saw the benefits of the MoH Band™ firsthand as he wore the initial prototype. At semester’s end Andrew had completed delivery on his first sale and decided to pursue the business after graduating. Since graduating in May of 2010, Andrew partnered up with friend and classmate Jeff Brayer and together they have brought the MoH Band™ to students all over the country.

Here are some great DIY baby gift ideas that I have come across on Pinterest and wanted to share with you. If you are in need of a baby gift and are feeling crafty or inspired, be sure to click the links to the original sources (below the images). Some give complete step by step tutorials for making them yourself or some might lead you right to an Etsy shop where you can just purchase these adorable little creations. Either way, have fun and enjoy and if you want to see more, be sure to follow my Crafty and DIY Baby Gift Ideas Board over at Pinterest.
Motorcycle Diaper Cake Tutorial
I’ll start with my absolute favorite! So stinkin’ cute and creative! Click the link on this one as she’ll give you a complete tutorial with images so you can make this adorable little motorcycle cake yourself.
Paper Free Gift Wrapped Baby Gift w/ Board Book Card
I love this! The creator of this sweet little gift talks about how she hated to waste money on gift paper that could be used toward the baby instead. How true that is. Gift wrap is so expensive these days and it just gets torn off and thrown away. Using a baby blanket as she did is so much more resourceful and still looks adorable. I love how she used the board book instead of a card (another huge waste of money) also.
Ice Cream Onesie Baby Shower Gift
The link to this one will take you right to Etsy where you can search for this cute gift. It looks like it would be super easy to make yourself also. Either way, cute idea!
Here you will find a list of everything you need to put this Splish Splash baby gift together. She even includes the printables to go with it. So simple and cute!
This is such a nice idea from the Crafting Chicks! All you need is a computer with color printer, wood frame and some acrylic paint to make one of these. Go check them out for complete instructions. Such a thoughtful gift!
The Bapron (Baby Apron) Tutorial
If you can sew (which I can’t unfortunately), you’ll love this Bapron tutorial complete with pattern, images and even the exact fabrics she used. I didn’t see a place to buy them, but if you can make it, lucky you. Super cute and of course functional! I definitely could have used a few of these when mine were still in bibs.
**Please note: This tutorial and pattern are no longer being offered for free. If you would like to make this bapron you must now purchase the pattern.**
Here is a great idea for a re-purposed wipes container. You have to check out the post with instructions on how to make it because the picture I used doesn’t do it justice. I love this idea because my daughter, for one, is addicted to holding baby wipes or washcloths. This gives them something to play with without wasting all those wipes.
How cute are these? It makes me think of Frappucinos which every new mom surely needs. You can purchase these at Etsy for $25 along with some other baby gifts. Or of course make it yourself if you feel inspired. Here is what you will find in these… Contains 4 Onesies, 4 Diapers, 8 White Wash Cloths, 4 red “cherry” socks in clear cups with dome lid. Pretty clever if you ask me!
Baby Shower Diaper Cakes
What baby gift list would be complete without diaper cakes? The link above will take you to a Diaper Cake Squidoo page complete with video tutorial on how to make them. You’ll also find theme ideas and some other baby shower inspiration while you’re there.
If you want something a little less traditional than a diaper cake but equally adorable, check out these bassinet cakes. The link will take you to a eCrater store where you can purchase these for $12.50. I don’t think you could even buy the diapers for that little. But if you think you want to give making one a try, I googled instructions and a few videos and tutorials came up as well as some nice sites. So you should be able to easily find a tutorial that suits you.
I hope this list inspires you to come up with some simple yet “Oh so cute!” baby gift ideas for the next little bundle of joy that arrives in your life. I know I’ll be referring to it the next time I need a baby gift.
