Zulily Provides a Checklist for Ultimate Family Fun This Summer

Zulily, a retailer dedicated to providing moms and kids with all the trendiest essentials at unbeatable prices, has constructed a quick and easy checklist of everything you need this summer to be prepared for some family fun in the sun. With the weather getting warmer everyday and the school year coming to a close, it’s safe to say pool party season has begun. So whether it’s a pool party at your place or someone else’s, there are certain supplies that no pool party should go without. 

1. The Summer Tote

Every mom needs at least one tote, and the arrival of summer only makes one more useful. It provides a portable and easily-accessible way to always have your summer supplies (sunblock, snacks, wallet, and so on) on hand at all times. The summer tote has to be able to withstand some wear and tear from the sun, sand, sunblock, and kids. Zulily designs totes that are practical in these conditions while still being super cute and trendy. 

2. Drink Holders

Out in the hot sun, it’s important for you and the kids to stay hydrated. But instead of wasting tons of plastic bottles, invest in some cool plastic beverage holders. Spill-proof and break-proof, they are perfect for on-the-go and young kids.

3. The Ultimate Wondershade

It can get hot and exhausting to be exposed to the sun all day, especially for little ones, and sometimes sunblock can only carry you so far. Get a break from the sun with an umbrella. Zulily’s Ultimate Wondershade is not only a large, portable umbrella, but comes with cup holders and towel racks too. 

4. Hangers

Wet bathing suits and towels in your car can be a huge drag. Solve this problem with Zulily’s towel clips. Toss some into your tote and near the end of the day hang wet items from lounge chairs or umbrellas for a comfortable, dry ride home. 

5. Pool props

From floaties to inflatable chairs, pool props are a must for any pool party. And they come in all shapes and sizes, so Mom can have one of her own for some relaxation in the sun. 

6. Pool toys

No pool party is complete without pool toys! From fins to goggles, Zulily has everything to maximize your child’s pool time fun.

Zulily Helps New Moms By Generating a List of Your Baby Must-Haves

Anyone who has been a new parent or expecting knows how everywhere you turn there are dozens of people trying to give you their two cents on what you need for your baby- which can be very helpful but sometimes get confusing. The list can feel endless and easy to forget- but luckily one of our favorite retailers, Zulily generated a narrowed down, straight to the point list of all your “baby-must-haves”. Every item on the list serves to be both functional and practical without costing you a ton of money. It’s perfect for moms on a budget, so you can have some fun shopping for your little one without breaking the bank.  

Zulily’s Baby Must-Haves Include:

1. Motion Bassinet

One of the best ways to get your baby to calm down or go to sleep is by rocking them, but for the times you just have too much to get done to continuously keep them calm, resort to your motion bassinet. The gentle rocking motions will keep your little one calm and happy while you put that load of laundry in the dryer or have a quick shower.

The Best Places for Mom to Online Shop

Online shopping can be tricky- one place might have sizes that run small or you might not know if something will look good without trying it on, or you think you’ve found a great deal and then they charge a fortune for shipping. But for busy moms, these are small problems compared to the idea of carting impatient children from store to store, waiting in lines, and dealing with crowds. So what’s the best way to shop without leaving your house but also ensuring you don’t pay a fortune and are happy with your products? And importantly, where should a busy mom even go to online shop? 

The key is to treat online shopping like shopping in a store- keep all your receipts and keep track of what you’re spending and where.  Keep your anti-virus software up to date and most importantly, use common sense! 

Which leads us to where the best places to online shop are. On the Internet there are endless sites to surf and shop, but generally when you are planning on actually purchasing clothes and various items from the web, its best to stick to places you’ve heard of before, were recommended to you by someone, or have accessible reviews of the products. But you’ll find below a list of awesome sites to buy trendy clothes for your little ones at amazing prices, and even some things for you too!

1. www.Zulily.com

Zulily features trendy products for moms, kids, and babies- so you can get all your shopping done at just one place! There is a wide variety of amazing brands but the best part is the amazing prices you can get them for- sometimes up to 70% off!
