Each year, Bellyitch has a holiday giveaway targeting its national audience.

In 2013, and before that in 2010, it was Bellytich’s Favorite Things and in 2012, we gave away 25 gifts for 25 days in December in the 25 Days of Christmas Giveaway. In 2011, we gave away $500 worth of goodies from our entire swag closet in a funny baby name competition. We’ve raffled off diamond push gifts and elegant celeb-fave designer maternity wardrobes and loads of other items generously donated and offered by sponsors.

This year, we wanted to do something a little different and focus on giving back to young moms close to our blog’s headquarters near Washington, DC. Many new moms starting out without an active partner in their parenthood journey struggle and don’t have all they need. Some resort to using used items that may be outdated and unsafe.

That’s why Bellyitch has partnered up with writer, professor Stacia L. Brown, founder of the Washington-DC area-based blog dedicated to the support and upliftment of single mothers of color, Beyond Baby Mamas.

The Grand prize this year, the Graco Modes Click 3 in 1 stroller travel system system we reviewed earlier today, valued at $500 (including delivery), is reserved exclusively for a deserving mom starting her family from the Beyond Baby Mamas outreach community. Others may benefit from other prizes as well.

In addition to this awesome stroller, we are also offering up to anyone nationwide who wants to enter (not just DC area single moms) the following curated from previously featured brands and other items:

$100 Visa Gift Card (2nd place)
A Designer Diaper Bag ($75 value) (3rd place)
A Baby Shower In a Bag Kid From Big Dot of Happiness ($30 value)
A Promegrante Carrier Bag/On –the-go Diaper Bag by Angela Beck in a vintage print ($40 value)
Two Style RX designer Prenatal or Daily Vitamins Pill Boxes from Designed by Dawn ($65)
Brain Rules for Baby, How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child from Zero to Five by John Medina ($15.95 value)
Zero to Five, 70Essential Parenting Tips Based on Science by Tracy Cutchlow (our review) ($19.95 value)
A collection of Story Books ($50 value)
A baby carrier ($75)
Two $25 Visa Gift Cards ($50 value)

The value of all items up for grabs total $1,000, and we are still adding items up until the selection of the winners on Christmas day!

To enter, simply fill out the sweepstakes below. Enter for one prize or all. However, if you want consideration for the stroller, you will have to (1) live in the DC, Maryland, Virginia metropolitan area AND enter a comment stating who would use the stroller or who you will gift it to and why that person or family really need the stroller system.

The other prizes are available to anyone nationally!

The deadline is Sunday, December 21 at midnight. Beyond Baby Mama and Bellyitch will select three finalist and let readers vote for their fave finalist up until December 24 and select a winner on Christmas Day, December 25, 2014.

We will accept entries for the other prizes, not the the top 3 until December 24.

The finalist getting the second highest votes will win the $100 Visa gift card and the third place winner will win the Diaper Bag.

Non top 3 finalists will also be entered to win the other prizes up for grabs on a raffle basis. The winner of those prizes will also be announced next Thursday!

You can enter daily!

Share the word! Thanks for entering! Happy Ho! Ho! Holidays, friends.

GOOD LUCK!
