Peanut Allergy

My grandson who is 3 ½ years old was recently diagnosed with a severe peanut allergy. We suspected he might be allergic to peanuts because the few times he was exposed to peanuts in his life he got hives. The second exposure to peanuts was simply a food containing peanut oil touching his lips, and he immediately came down with hives. My daughter and son in law had him tested for allergies and he was found to have several nut allergies, the peanut allergy being quite severe.
Because of his severe peanut allergy his parents have become quite focused on reading labels and not allowing anything that is not “safe” to be taken into their home. Not only do they need to watch out for the obvious which is peanuts and peanut butter, but peanut oil as well, or foods processed in the same facility as peanuts. When eating at a restaurant they must ask if peanuts or peanut oil is used in any of the menu items. They have a number of epipens (used in case of anaphylactic shock) which they take everywhere with them. They order peanut free candy and purchase foods only from companies that have their ingredients clearly labeled and they know to be safe.
Sending a child with a severe allergy off to daycare, school, or preschool is a very scary situation for a parent. Will another child offer him a peanut butter cookie and he’ll take it, not realizing the danger? Will the daycare provider forget he has a severe allergy?
It is at my daughter’s request that I designed my current line of peanut and food allergy T-shirts. She wanted a peanut allergy button, T-shirt, and stickers for my grandson so I designed several and he now has several buttons, stickers, and a peanut allergy T-shirt. We hope that it will help to remind everyone he sees that he has a life threatening allergy to peanuts, and also make people in general aware of the fact that food allergies can be life threatening.

Tote Bag Sale

One of my favorite products at Peacock Cards is tote bags. I've purchased many of them for both myself and family members. My grandson has several including a train tote bag and sports tote bag, and uses them when he comes to visit to carry his toys or clothing, uses them at home for storing toys and as a book bag when he visits the library. My daughter is a kindergarten teacher and we sometimes jokingly refer to her as the "bag lady" because she always seems to be lugging around school supplies, papers, and books, so the tote bags come in very handy for her. As for myself, I use them mostly as travel and overnight bags when I go out of town to carry extra things like my hair blower and extra shoes. I've seen them used as shopping bags which is a great idea as they are strong, roomy, and save on getting those plastic bags which really aren't good for the environment. They can be used as a way to make a statement such as "Love One Another" or "I Speak My Peace". As a gym bag, a bag to take to ballet lessons, book bag, school bag, shopping bag, overnight bag, storage bag, or birthday or holiday gift bag, they are a great way to show your unique personality. We have hundreds of tote bags, everything from bags for babies, kids, mom and dad to be, wedding party tote bags, teen tote bags, holiday tote bags, spa bags, beach bags, profession bags, USA patriotic and peace bags, and so much more! You can save on these beautiful tote bags for three days! We are dropping the price from $16.99 each to $14.99 for three days, October 27, 28, and 29! No limit to how many you can get at these prices. It's a great time to purchase bags for holiday gift giving or wedding tote bags for the girls in the bridal party! Lots of new styles too including monogram tote bags in several design styles, numerous holiday tote bags, and lots of new kids designs! Not only can you save $2 on each bag for this three days, you can use an additional coupon code and save even more!

Birthdays!

I recently created a design for a birthday T-shirt for my little grandson who will turn three this December. His mom is having a sports theme birthday party for him as he loves sports, all sports, at his very young age. It's interesting to see as children begin to talk how unique their personalities are, and what their interests are. I have a little nephew who loves trains, a little niece who loves ballet, another who is totally into dinosaurs. Knowing what kids and toddlers love, I created birthday designs around those interests. At Peacock Cards we now have over 30 unique and original birthday designs on birthday T-shirts, tote bags, buttons, and party invites for kids and babies from first birthday on up to 12th for some designs! Whether your child is having a pirate birthday party or a sports theme party, loves the ballet or hockey, whether you are looking for a farm theme, angel theme, little cowboy theme, or a fire and rescue theme, we have you covered! Also check out our huge section of first birthday designs for baby's first birthday!
