Olive Kids: Get personalized for the fourth
Posted by: Amy on June 18th, 2008
*Update: Congratulations to HEATHER, our Olive Kid’s “Get personalized for the fourth” giveaway! She has been notified via email. Heather is going to be BBQ’ing and watching the local fireworks this fourth!
Olive Kids (one of my favorite boutiques) has some really fun personalized items available for the upcoming fourth of July holiday. If you’re heading out on picnics or to the summer cottage on the lake (like we are), pick up one of Olive Kid’s festive, personalized placemats.
I’m sure you’ll be toting around a bunch of swim gear, so name tags are a must. We’ve been talking about what your favorite summer reads are, so it’s a given that your kiddo should have a personalized bookmark to hold his or her place while they’re out romping around in the waves. Finally, when it’s time for that cookout, they’ll know exactly where their place at the picnic table is with their own personalized placemat.
Olive Kids would LOVE to give you a “Get Personalized for the Fourth” prize package!
One lucky MTW reader will receive a personalized name tag, bookmark and placemat of your choice…just in time for the Fourth of July holiday!
TO ENTER:
Leave a comment on this post and let us know if you have any special plans this Fourth of July. If you’re just planning on lounging around at home and catching the neighborhood fireworks – that works too! 
A winner will be chosen randomly on Sunday, June 22nd and notified via email. Bloggers and non-bloggers are welcome to enter. This contest is open to residents of the continental U.S. We will announce the winner on this post.
Good luck!

June 18th, 2008 at 9:54 am
We just moved so we will probably see what our new community has to offer. My husband has to work that week so no travel plans for us. Hopefully the weather is good and we’ll hang out at the pool while he works.

I love that fireworks placement! Super super cute. This will be our first 4th with our baby girl…yeah! She’ll be decked out in red, white, and blue for sure. We’ll probably be watching our good friends’ 6 kiddos nearly light themselves, their yard, their street, their (insert flammable object here) on fire. It’s always fun to watch little pyros in the making have fun with at-home fireworks.
June 18th, 2008 at 11:09 am
The 4th is our anniversary but we wont be doing anything, nor will we be together. My husband is still working out of town. Me and the kids will might watch the fireworks on TV, but thats about it.
June 18th, 2008 at 11:23 am
We will do the lounging thing. That’s always a winner. We may venture out to watch the fireworks at the local golf course or we may just try to peek through the trees from our front yard. It all depends on how early the little gals need to get to bed.
