Very Merry Fabkins Review and Giveaway


I recently wrote about how I was given an opportunity test out a set of Fabkins and commented on how much my twins love them. (SEE LBD FABKINS REVIEW)

If you are not familiar with Fabkins, they are the soft and durable everyday cloth napkins for kids. Fabkins are available in an array of bright colors and playful designs that children love. Sized for kids’ laps and lunchboxes, Fabkins come in themed packs of five that reflect kids’ interests. Fabkins make school lunches and meals at home more fun, and inspire children to help save the environment. They also eliminate the continuous purchase of paper napkins for lunch boxes and provide monetary savings to any parent on a budget.

Fabkins is a Marin County, California-based company started in early 2007 by Joyce Raffo and Paige Rodgers, two friends and fellow moms. Fabkins was created out of the desire to offer kids a fun and easy way to be a part of saving the environment. Joyce and Paige were both committed to packing “waste-free” lunches for their school-age children but had trouble finding cute cloth napkins that weren’t too formal or too big. Ultimately, they decided to create their own, and Fabkins was born.

As the Moms at Fabkins prepare their own families for the holidays, they have your family in mind as well. Special Christmas meals with family and friends is no time to leave special items behind-nor is it necessary. Fabkins is launching the Very Merry line. However one Lethally Blonde Diary reader will have the opportunity to test the Very Merry set now.
