GRAND modern baby giveaway:

Brace yourselves because we're about to knock your socks off. Tangled and True is giving big today, featuring four of our very favorite companies. Thanks to FLOR, Boon, Sprout Basics and Fawn and Forest, one incredibly lucky reader will win 5 fantastic products to help her/him complete a modern nursery/baby ready home. And we're not talking accessories; this is the real deal with baby gear and home furnishings.

Initiated by the Oprah, there's been some buzz lately about giving big. It's a brilliant concept really-- to stir up enthusiasm about thinking outside of yourself and being charitable in proportions that seem unthinkable. We hope to stir up even a little bit of this giving back for the sake of giving back. Because it's a significant feel good that's hard to come by. So, not only have each of our featured companies chosen to give big, and not only will one deserving parent or parent-to-be become the recipient of that giving, but we hope you leave today with some inspiration to do the same.

On with the party.. shall we! This grand package will include:

30 toy poodle tiles, $420

1. FLOR, the most unique and modern of floor coverings in a do-it-yourself and design-it-yourself format, is donating an 8x10 area rug (30 tiles) in their most popular Toy Poodle style. It's soft and curly, versatile and "naturally- very comfortable to your paws." We think it's beyond nursery worthy. Winner chooses her/his choice of 18 lively + modern colors to suit their space perfectly.

Maybe you'll mix-and-match it or stick to a solid spread? See here for some lovely inspiration/ideas from everyday people.


2. Boon keeps delivering with innovations for modern parents and we're loving them for each one of their products! But more than anything else, their Flair Pedestal Highchair with Pneumatic Lift is revolutionary and inspiring.

Flair, $220

The style is beautifully simple and even complimentary to any modern home. The seamless seat with a cushioned chemical-resistant and water proof pad makes clean-up easy (hallelujah!) and the pneumatic lift allows for effortless height adjustment. And because they couldn't stop there, "Flair is equipped with an adjustable-position, compact tray, as well as top-quality safety features including a five-point harness and restraining post. The sturdy pedestal base gives Flair a unique form that is easy to clean and that slides smoothly under tables. Flair glides in any direction on six urethane casters that will not scratch floors, while the hands-free braking system easily locks the chair in place." Simply, it's a dreamy necessity.


3. Sprout Basics is new to the scene but deserves big praise for their mission: offering "a place where stylish moms can find fashion-forward basics for their littlest style-hound."

The essence of her collection- Love. Nurture. Play- is expressed in every piece through a kaleidoscope of colorful vintage fabrics. The result is cleverly crafted and disarmingly charming one-of-a-kind designs.

Since we're completely into encouraging unique, we love that the entire Mod Hearts collection will become part of this dream nursery. It's not a fabric you'll see on other babies. We like that.

Mod Hearts blanket, $85

In soothing blues and creamy chocolate hearts made of 100% combed cotton, backed by ultra-soft dots and framed in silky satin, swaddling has never felt or looked so good!

matching Mod Hearts nursing cover, $35

And because mothering shouldn't need to be compromised by a lack of fashion, Mom can feel the love too.


4. Fawn & Forest brings it all together with an amazing collection of good design that can be enjoyed by the entire family. This is what the Fawn&Forest team call the starting point in sharing the joys of good design with our children. Because they "offer a well curated selection of products you will appreciate for their superior quality as well as their thoughtful design," you'll be proud to put anything you buy in their shop anywhere in your home.

oeuf baby lounger: blue + chocolate, $98

oeuf baby lounger: pink + chocolate, $98

These Oeuf baby loungers, for example, are not only sleekly styled, but come with a 3-point safety belt and suitable for a baby up to 18 lbs. They're deeply padded, machine washable, and supported by a steel frame. We called this a serious necessity in our home when Cole was a newborn and how I would have loved the chocolate stripe or quilted blue versus a bear and bunny theme. This has been on my baby gear lust list for ages! The winner will have her/his choice from any one of the 4 color options.
