We Need Your Help!


A while back I'd commented that photography was not our forte.  Well, I sort of forgot about one other thing.  Naming.  It is also not our forte.  Maybe the world is divided into designers and doers.  We're doers.  No doubt about it.  Tell us what you want and we can make it.  Just don't ask us what to call it.  :)

I suppose it's a bit obvious if you look at http://www.playfulpeanut.com/.  I mean, "hair clips," "soother clips," and "nursing covers."  Descriptive, yes.  Clever, not exactly.

So before we launch our next product, we're looking for your help.  What is our next product?  Well, it's basically a reusable ziploc bag (see, I TOLD you we needed your help :).  It a 6 inch square bag made with designer cotton on the outside, and a water repellant, food-safe liner on the inside (a quick note - if you opt to buy a similar product that isn't ours, I would encourage you to do your homework on what's used for the liner - there are lots of options out there, but not many that I would consider food safe and trust for my family to use).  There's a generous velcro enclosure across the top to keep the bag closed.  The seams are all professionally serged (but hidden, so you'd never know it :).  They are also sewed separately to make it really easy to wipe your bag clean (we love Norwex cloths for quick cleans!).  Got a big mess in there (mustard?  or maybe melted chocolate?) - no problem.  These are machine washable (we just recommend you line dry as opposed to tossing them in the dryer - not only more environmentally friendly, but just a better alternative for any handmade product). 

If you or your kids pack a lunch, these will be the next must-have item on your list.  No one ever said being environmentally friendly had to be boring.  Nor saving money - because not only do plastic snack bags litter our earth, they also burn up your hard-earned money!

So, here's our plea.  Our new product needs a name.  Got one?  Either post it on our Facebook Fan page, or email it to us at yourplayfulpeanut@gmail.com.  And even though we aren't creative enough to come up with a name on our own, we appreciate those who are.  So the winning name is going to receive a 3-pack of our newest product!
