Shh...don't tell Sissy about this...

I mentioned recently that I had the opportunity to review a $40 product for CSN Stores. (I recently reviewed this car cooler from CSN.) This time, instead of choosing a "helpful" product, I wanted to go with a "fun" item.

And that's what I got! Fun for Sissy, anyway. And the boys, too. And fun for me to watch.

This is the Guidecraft Doll High Chair in Espresso. It came in this box, but there weren't too many parts. The directions were simple for someone like me who doesn't love to put things together. Only a screwdriver was required. It sells for $42.

As always, I received excellent customer service from CSN and a super speedy shipping time. I placed my order on Friday and received my shipment on Tuesday.

I had the great fortune of also winning a recent $45 CSN giveaway on Live, Learn, Love's blog.

When I saw the matching doll buggy, I knew I'd found what I wanted. It is the Guidecraft Doll Buggy in Espresso. It sells for $58.80. My only complaint about these products is this: there was a slight smell when I opened the package. I don't know if it was from any pressed wood parts, the stain, the plastic packaging. Online, I read a review that said it was the rubber wheels. Regardless, I am cautious about what materials my kids play with, but the smell seemed to go away after that initial unwrapping.

I love them! I think they're so pretty. I love the way the dark wood matches in her room. We haven't had much luck with the plastic/metal strollers and shopping carts. Ours have fallen apart. I thought they could use this as a shopping cart and doll buggy. I hope these will be a little more durable.

Here is another review I found for the Guidecraft Wooden Stroller. This person seemed to love it, too. And you can see the other color of stroller and highchair that CSN sells: natural.

It might seem like I was "playing" a little bit more than necessary by these pictures...I might have been.

I can't wait until she sees these under the tree on Christmas morning...shh, don't tell her!

Thank you, as always, CSN, for giving bloggers the opportunities to try out your products! You guys are the best. I am offering a $40 CSN Gift Certificate to one lucky winner on my food blog. I'll pick a number tonight (Thursday night around 9 p.m.).
