{Etsy review and Giveaway} Hot Mama Handbags



When I came across Maranda's Etsy shop, Hot Mama Handbags. I knew I wanted to share her shop with my readers. Not only are her diaper bags adorable, but they are functional, well made and don't look like your average diaper bag.

Maranda, mother of 2 boys, came up with her bag designs after she realized her normal, not so cute diaper bag had become overtaken with fruit snack wrappers and crushed up cheerios. When she was pregnant with baby # 2, she made her own diaper bag to fit her needs and her style as well. Something that didn't look like a diaper bag but acted as one. And so came Hot Mama Handbags.



Maranda sent me one her darling clutches. I used it the other day to put our insurance cards and info in when we took a visit to the dr. It was perfect. I didn't need much and I was able to find everything easily and quickly. I'm very pleased with it. Perfect on the go bag when you don't need a lot. These are the type of bags I love when we are shopping, something I can fit easily under the stroller but also big enough to keep everything I need for a quick shopping trip.



Maranda also sent me one of these cool Keychain holders. You attach your keys to it and then just put it around your wrist. No more digging for your keys, they are right there and you still have your hands free. Awesome sauce!


Maranda is offering one of my readers a chance at their very own clutch and keychain. Also if you order now and spend over $50.00 you get a free wristlet. (offer good for two weeks, mention H is for Hillman in notes at checkout)
All you have to do to enter is head on over to Hot Mama Handbags and come back here and tell me what your favorite item in Maranda's shop is.
For Extra Entries:
1. Follow H is for Hillman through Google Friend Connect
2. Vote for us on Top Mommy Blogs
3. Tell me your Valentines day plans

Giveaway Ends 1/28, winner will be chosen at random and announced 1/29. Good Luck and Have fun!

Valentines Day plans... hmmmm. Well, with my first darling newborn (3.5 month old) I think that we'll just shower her with kisses and hopefully spend some quality family time.

I know, I know. But honestly we don't have much time or finances to do much together. It's all for her. :)
