Giveaway: Hallmark Interactive Story Buddy

As I am laying in the Princess Cupcake’s bed snuggled up with her (and my MacBook), granting her pleading request to stay with her while she falls asleep, I’m listening to Toddler Tunes, which happens to be the song, “Talking to My Teddy “  and thinking about how I will miss these days when she’s grown. If I could only freeze these moments and grant her wish every evening. As much as I’d like, I can’t always snuggle into bed with her at night. Sometimes there’s just a lot to do.

Christopher Story Buddy from HallmarkAnd that’s where my buddy Christopher is going to help out. Christopher is an interactive story buddy from Hallmark with the sweetest voice you’ve ever heard. Close your eyes, hear him talk and tell me you don’t just want to smush him with hugs! As you read his book (included) Christopher Can’t Sleep!: Christopher is camping with Dad and can’t sleep, so he and Dad go on a walk. Christopher learns how other animals sleep, and realizes he is comfy sleeping like a bear after all. Christopher responds and adds to the story. There’s even a CD (also included) that can read the story for you, or the iPad app works too. And yes, there are additional stories you can purchase.  See a video of how Christopher works here.

It’s pure genius, not to mention off the charts adorable. I am fully convinced that it will be a favorite of the Princess Cupcake’s for many years to come. But there’s more than just Christopher to choose from – Check out Hallmark’s full line of interactive story buddies here.

My favorite people at Hallmark were kind enough to give me a Christopher for the Cupcake, and one to give away to my favorite readers. If you’d like a Christopher (retail $34.95) under your tree for you littlest one – yes, Christopher is suitable for a boy or a girl –  just enter the contest below. Contest ends December 13th and we’ll do our best to get it to you by Christmas.

Sweet dreams!

  10. For my baby girl it changes. She has always been a good sleeper. I could always pretty much nurse a short time, give kisses and put her in bed. Now at 18 months she decided since weaning that she wants to rock. Awe. 🙂 My older son….he’s a whole different story lol. I am very diligent about routines, though. Kids like a routine.
