SWAG ALERT: Our Favorite Things For Colds & Allergies, *sniff sniff*!

Allergy season is in full swing and the snot is a flowin’! Is it ok to say snot on here? I have three boys. Snot is an every day word. Anyway, with all the achooing and God Bless yous roaming around our house, my three favorite snot noses are breathing clearly at night. How? Well, I’m glad you asked!

Our Crane Humidifer is saving the day, er, night! With the cool mist lightly filling the bedroom as they sleep, my boys are breathing clear, waking up with NO sore throats or dry coughs! I love, love how easy it is to use, fill and clean.

Oh, and did I mention that it’s adorable?! Forget questionable cough syrups to help your little one sleep, the Crane Adorable Humidifiers provide 11 hours of sweet relief! And I don’t mind leaving our cute little frog (which our boys have named Yoda, of course) out on the dresser, cause he’s adorable! I have even left this baby out on my dresser when the allergy fairy visited me! Its a must have if you have any snot nosed brats darlings running around your house! You can find Crane’s Adorable Humidifiers at many local stores, like Target, or online! And at only around $35, it’s worth every easy breathing cent!

How many of you have kids that have had an ear infection? Most of us, right? Well, how much better would it be if we had a little extra something in our mommy or daddy tool belt to help in early diagnosis, the ability to accurately monitor progress / recovery, or just add a little extra peace of mind? Yup, we thought so! Now, with the touch of a button, EarCheck® Middle Ear Monitor accurately and painlessly detects the presence of middle ear fluid, a key sign of an ear infection. Used by pediatricians for years, EarCheck® helps you determine when your child might have an ear infection and allows for more meaningful conversations with your child’s doctor. Visit www.EarCheck.com for more information.

nasalclearWhen even the littlest noses are running, Graco Baby is there to help! With the NasalClear Aspirator on hand, you can gently and easily clear even those teeny tiny nasal passages! It’s quick and easy to use…and even plays music! Kids and even babies really are entranced by the melody which distracts them from what’s actually going on! And with soft silicone tips (they even come in different shapes for different noses!) and the fact that it’s battery operated which lets you control the suction, the NasalClear Aspirator is a must have for those little tiny runny noses!

Note from Crista: I personally swear by this little device and used it with Camilla when was hospitalized with RSV this past winter at 4 weeks old. Tarek and I were SO grateful to have found it as that typical bulb syringe that the doctors gave was just plain ineffective with Camilla’s tiny little nose. When a product truly helps your child through a life-threatening experience, you’re not only thankful but want to shout it from the rooftops! This is my little rooftop :) . Every parent with a baby should have one. It was our tiny miracle… and yes, I cried…:).

We hope you stock up on these Favorite Things for your sweet sick kiddos…because if you aren’t using them now, you will wish you had them come the next cold season! So channel that Boy Scout in you and Be Prepared!

To enter to win all three of these sick kid must haves, simply visit www.crane-usa.com, www.earcheck.com and www.gracobaby.com and leave your comment on this post letting these great companies know what you think about their adorable and practical products! You know how it works and what to do :) . This SWAG ALERT will be open for daily entry until we say so:)!!!

    wow--these are great must-haves. I really like the NasalClear Aspirator. It is so hard to get those little goobers out and it looks like this would make it easier and more fun for the little ones.
  • Wendy
    I'm expecting my first in January and as it is, I experience stuffiness and seasonal allergies on almost an everyday basis. Though I'm hoping my baby inherits his dad's good genes, the Crane Humidifier would definitely put my mind at ease and surely put my mind at ease about possibly passing on my allergies to my little one. Not to mention, they are low-maintenance and run up to 11 hours on one gallon of water. That's fantastic for something that doesn't seem bulky. In addition, with filters at under $10, Crane humidifiers seem like the way to go... not to mention, they are adorable!
  • xenia
    I feel like I'm never quite prepared when cold season rolls around. I know that it's coming but it always takes until the first few runny noses and coughs set in for me to realize that I should have done more to prevent it! These products would surely help!
  • xenia
    Our house gets really dry in the winter and I feel bad when my daughter gets coughs and colds, the Crane Humidifier would be so helpful!
  • love the humidifiers! and the ear check monitor would be awesome. we have struggled with many ear infections with my son. he now has tubes.
  • xenia
    Knowing that the EarCheck Middle Ear Monitor is what many doctors use definitely makes me want one! How great to have the technology right at home!
  • xenia
    My daughter would flip over the cow humidifier, she had one years ago but it stopped working and we kept telling her that it would come back... if I won one for her she would be so excited! These definitely are much better in kids' rooms than standard, boring humidifiers.
  • sheri
    I'm so excited about these products! I have tried the crane humidifier and they are fabulous. We have the red dragon. I have been wanting one of the ear checkers for so long but have not wanted to spend the money!
  • Another new daily entry: I really want to try out the Crane Humidifier. It looks adorable, and I know it's for little kids but it would be great to have it in my own room for a bit. LOL
  • They are adorable humidfiers! I'd have to find one both my kids could agree on! Probably the doggie!!
  • Steven
    I think all these products look great. Both my wife and I have had ear problems and I've seen the ear checking instrument a thousand times, but until I went to the earcheck website I had no idea how those things actually worked. It was nice that they explained it in laymans terms so now I know how it works...and it's doesn't look at all complicated to use so even someone like me could use it.
  • Another daily entry: Gracobaby really does have an awesome product. I think doctors should have music playing when they doe these things AT their office....maybe some fun music playing when you get shots! LOL but I really do love that they took the child into consideration for something they never want to do, and made it more happy/soothing for them...esp. the real little ones.

  • Kristina G.
    I didn't even realize those were humudifiers at first! how adorable is that! Such a great idea, make them look so neat while they serve a good purpose!
  • Next daily entry: I was looking at the Ear Check website and saw this: The EarCheck Middle Ear Monitor is recommended for children 6 months of age and older. That's so great that you can keep using it, and it's not JUST for babies! How wonderful.

    -Lauren
  • renee
    I visited all the sites except for gracobaby because the page wouldn't load! All of these products are wonderful and I would love to win them for my friend who is expecting her first child. I would keep the cute humidifier though because we use one every day!
  • xenia
    Whoever thought to make the NasalClear Aspirator play music was pure genius. Both of my daughters (one is 2 and one is 6 months) would be so entranced by the sounds that by the time they realized what I was doing, I would be done!
  • Shelly
    Love the Graco Sweetpeace soothing center
  • Daily entry: I love that Crane has shapes for their humidifiers that are pretty much all gender neutral. This would be great if you have twins (a boy and a girl) or if you want to get one for all your children to pass around when they need it. It's a nice idea, and I'd love to own one of these. They sound like they work well.

    -Lauren
  • I love our frog humidifier from Crane! I would love to get a second one like the elephant to go in my other son's room. They work so well and can fit right in with the decor! The Graco nasal clear aspirator looks awesome! I've used the standard ones for a while and with both my little boys attending daycare they get colds a lot. I swear my youngest had a snotty nose for two months straight this past spring. This would have been perfect! The earcheck would also be wonderful. My boys haven't ever had an ear infection but we've thought they might numerous times. This would save us for unneccessary trips to the doctors office!
  • checkers
    The humidifiers are swell from Crane, I love that Helllo Kitty one, and Graco, well they've been around forever it seems with all their quality baby products which I feel are quality made and reliable, and at earcheck I love their new device makes it so easy to know if you're child has something wrong with their ears. skyskyaa11(at)gmail.com
  • tina reynolds
    this is a very nice collection i really like the humidifier by crane they have such cute designs i love the frog and pig the best. The earcheck sounds like it would be very helpful my kids have had a lot of trouble with ear infections. I would have loved to had the NasalClear Aspirator when my son jack was a baby i had a real time with him thanks for the chance to win
  • We love our Crane Penguin guy. He's a great addition to my son's room. I would love to have the ear check device. It would save so much in co-pays and ear pain if I could know before I took my kids in that they actually had ear infections. The aspriator seems like a great idea too.
  • Gracobaby has wonderful products! Aside from the aspirator, the sweep slumber sound machine would be wonderful for baby also!

    As I was reading up on the Earcheck, I read that To date, EarCheck® has been used by more than 5,000 medical professionals and 70,000 parents! That says a lot to me!

    From Crane-USA, I also love their Air purifiers. The shark is adorable and my boys would think it was great! I also love that it has a 5 level filteration that helps remove airborne allergens, bacteria, viruses, and germs!! I need on of these!(or a couple!)
  • xenia
    Great companies! My sister-in-law has an EarCheck Middle Ear Monitor and I have always been jealous of how handy it is. What a great way to save unnecessary trips to the doctor's office!
  • Jo
    The Crane products are very kid friendly because they resemble children's fave characters(spongebob would be the fave in our house), the Earcheck would save me countless visits to the pedeatrician when my baby is tugging at her ear just for fun instead of actually having an ear infection, and Graco has such a wide variety of products such as car seats, playyards, and highchairs.
    jceko77@yahoo.com
  • How fun that Crane has humidifiers that are characters like Sponge Bob!
    My son has had too many ear infections. great to have something that can help us diagnose sooner.
    The Graco baby products are so practical too! and SO many things have such great saftey ratings like the car seats.
  • Oh wow, these are such great products. I love the Crane humidifiers b/c they really are adorable and therefore kids will be more likely to want to have them in their room. What a lovely idea, I always think you need to work WITH the kids when it comes to certain products, especially if they aren't normally fun.

    Earcheck sounds amazing. I wish I had this when I was a little kid. I was always getting ear infections...even got a hole in my eardrum. I'm so happy this one is on the market now b/c I'm sure a lot of parents would love to be able to help their child get better a little bit sooner.

    As for gracobaby, once again, amazing product. I'm so happy it worked for your family. I love the idea of music playing. It really seems like it'll relax the children and allow the parents to get them as healthy as possible.

  • Sarita
    Since I've spent time on the Paediatric floors as a Nursing student, I can definitely see the benefits of all 3 of these products. I can especially appreciate the "child-friendliness" and approachability of the aspirator and humidifier, since everything for children is how they perceive things and how something looks and sounds. Anything that can make using an aspirator and humidifier more approachable, friendly and non-threatening to a child (of any age!) is a great thing! I thought the music integration with the aspirator was exceptional. It's definitely something I would use for the little ones in my life! Good job, Graco Baby!
  • Penelope
    Love the adorable animal cool mist humidifiers! I'd love to win one of those!!

    I never even knew there was such a product to check for fluid in the ears. That is very useful.

    I love that the nasal aspirator plays music, lol. That is sooo cute!
  • I absolutely love the pig Crane humidifier! I have been an admirer of these for a long time and my daughter would love it. I've wanted the EarCheck for awhile, ever since my daughter had two ear infections! I think it's invaluable and will save me lots of headaches. And the nasal clear aspirator would be a life saver! Every time my daughter sees me coming with the aspirator we have, she cowers - it's awful! I'd love to have these products. Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Pamela S
    Great quality products from all three companies. I like the Hello Kitty humidifier, and the Graco Soothe & Swaddle Bounder. I also like how the earcheck nasal aspirator looks so much better than the old fashioned bulb syringes. Thanks.
  • I like that the aspirator is battery operated, the ear check is painless(that's always a plus with little ones!) and the Pig humidifier is adorable!
  • The Crane Humidifiers are so cute! All these products are wonderful and I would love to own them! Thanks for the giveaway.
  • Michelle
    Ive wanted one of those humidifiers for quite some time...weve been lucky with ear infections so far but would love to be able to check the ear! Only thing worse than a runny nose is wiping one! Great products!
  • Steven
    I think all these products look great and I especially love the cute dehumidifiers. I think all the Graco products are great and I definately know I can get a good quality product from them. I especially like their strollers and we've definately got a lot of great comments about it's appearance and easy folding. With the amount of Graco stuff we've bought you'd almost think I work for them. :)
  • The humidifiers are so much cuter than regular ones and would be great for my kids! I love the the ear check checks the middle ear. I also really wish I would have had the nasal aspirator with my babies! But I would love to win one for my best friend who is having a baby in December! I love that it plays music!! Super cool products and must haves for babies and kids!
  • I SUBSCRIBE TO emails
  • Such major necessity of having children. Humidifiers that look cute in the room instead of a boring old box. Ear checker for that child who is always poking in his ear I can't figure out if its his teeth or his ears, what a great invention a must have for parent. Little noses are so hard to clear out and they make little one's so uncomfortable. Love all of these products. thanks for the great opportunity
  • Wendy
    How adorable are those humidifiers? I would be absolutely thrilled to have one of those in my nursery for the baby and myself included. The very cute, yet sleek design (I love the frog and elephant!) have one gallon tanks and run for up to elven hours; that's amazing. Not to mention, the fact that the humidifiers consume low power can help me rest easy when it comes to bills.

    What I love best about the EarCheck is that it is able to detect when symptoms of inner ear infection are actually going away. FDA and pediatrician approved, moms can easily use this device to pinpoint what's ailing their child. The ease of use is also great. The baby in the video doesn't seem to be phased by the chirping sound and the EarCheck delivers fast results.

    An allergy sufferer myself,Graco's NasalClear would prepare me further for baby's woes. There's nothing worse than a stuffy, fussy child. I love the idea of playing tunes as the aspirator works, and with twelve to choose from, I definitely see this working effectively on a newborn.

    We have the Crane frog and just love it

    Great prizes, great companies!
    I love the Crane humidifiers! Our favorite is the Frog Cool Mist Humidifier.
    EarCheck Middle Ear Monitor is a must-have in any household with children! You don't have to go to the DR every time and if there is an ear infection than you can treat it immediately!
    Graco products are known for the great quality, I love their Bumper Jumper!
  • The crane humidifiers are so cute! I love the spongebob one! The Ear Check is such a helpful product and would save a lot of unneeded trips to the Dr. office! I also love the Gracobaby site. I would love to win one of the aspirators. Handy products for sure!
  • Pamela S
    I subscribed to your email!!
  • Pamela S
    All three of these companies are known to be reliable so I'd feel safe buying from any of them. Crane makes great humidifiers and it's nice they're in such "kid" friendly designs such as the Hello Kitty my daughter would insist on. And of course Graco has been around forever with great products. I'd especially like to try the Soothe & Swaddle Bouncer. Thanks.
  • Suzanne
    I love the Crane Penguin humidifier and the Air Purifier. I think it would be a great help in our house. I had never heard of a EarCheck® Middle Ear Monitor. Now isn't that useful for the child that tends to ear infections. My mother would have appreciated that when I was a toddler. And I love my Graco baby swing. My son was soothed by it so well. I could not have lived without the swing.
  • Sarah R
    This is the first time I have seen any of these products. I think they are all so great. Would love to have these in my house!
  • The crane humidifiers are so cute, they have found a very clever way to create something that is good for your health as well as make it attractive for kids, i would totally love to have one of them! The only downside i can think to them is that my kids would love them so much they would play with them as if they were toys, they tend to do that with the regular humidifier that we have LOL.

    The ear check would be a great item for us to have since we don't own one, rarely will my kids get ear infections but i do get them sometimes so it would be good to own it, it is a an awesome gadget.

    The nasal clear aspirator would be another great thing to have as my youngest kid doesn't like having his nose blown when he gets a cold, he hates it, and seeing as the nasal clear aspirator even plays music we could probably easily convince him to clean his nose with it for him to have a better sleep at night in those times when he catches a cold. Another great gadget, very clever.
  • Valorie Ruiz
    I love that there are so many options in the humidifier. I am going to be purachasing one of these even if i don't win. These items go great together!
  • Steven
    I also follow on email.
  • Steven
    I love those dehumidifiers, they have the coolest designs. I want one for my room, but my wife would probably roll her eyes at the fact I want an animal shaped dehumidier. lol
  • Valorie
    I am absolutely in love with the designs from the crane humidifiers. I love that there are soo many options! The nasal aspirator sounds amazing my baby gets so fussy when she just sees it. So I'm sure the music will distract her! Ear infections run in my family and I'm sure my daughter will have some, this unique tool will assist me and help save her some pain! I would love to try them out!
  • Aura
    cool! did you know that the humidifier is a legal tax deduction??- read about it at the bottom here http://www.crane-usa.com/useful_facts_about_humidifier.html

    The earcheck website is very informative and it seems pretty easy to use.

    Graco is a big name in the baby equipment field. Their playards are my fav although it's a real pain trying to figure out how to get all the peices back into the travel bag.
  • Sara
    I love all the different styles offered by Crane Humidifiers. Perfect for any kid!! The Ear Check is great too because it gives you some more information before you head to the doctor. And I absolutely love the Graco web-site. There is so much there you can research!!!
  • The creativity of Crane's humidifer's is great, Graco is a trusted name in baby products and Earcheck is out to make a mom's job easier!
    bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
  • Lo
    The humidifiers are adorable. Our son loves our dog so I think he would really love having a doggie humidifier. I've read great things about the Graco aspirator, and our snotty child could use all the help he can get. Finally, the Ear Check also looks golden. He gets a lot of ear infections so it would be nice if we could check and see if he needs to go to the dr.
  • Pamela S
    These are all reliable companies with good products. I have a Hello Kitty obsessed daughter so I'd get the Hello Kitty humidifier. The nasal aspirator looks much easier to use than the bulb I'm used to. And I have a niece having a baby next month and I think the Soothe & Swaddle Bouncer would make a great shower gift. Thanks so much!!!
  • I like the Froggy humidifier from Crane
    The Ear check is the same one my pediatrician uses at her office.
    The nasal aspirator is something I am excited about my daughter HATES the manual one!
  • One of my kids didn't like having a 'machine' (AKA humidifier) in their room - maybe having something cute would change their mind! :) And anything beats having to use a regular thermometer up the tush to take their temps when they are already not feeling well! And I'm so glad that the nasal aspirator is entertaining, toO! :)
  • I've had my eye on the crane humidifiers for quite some time. They are all so cute!
  • dreamer
    have your button

    amomcandream.blogspot.com
  • dreamer
    LOVE the dragon humidifier and the earcheck would be so handy! And my son HATES aspirators so this one would make life so much easier - on both of us!
  • xenia
    Great collection of products, we could definitely use them for the colds that seem to be reoccurring around here. My 2-year-old would love an elephant humidifier, I would just have to make sure it's up high enough that she wouldn't be able to reach it to play with it!
  • Steven
    These look like great products for when the kids are sick. I love the designs of the humidifiers from crane, they're all so cute. It's a great idea too that the aspirator plays music to distract your kid when using it.
  • Aura
    I love how crane humidifiers make designs to fit into most kids room decor. I know many children who would love a hello kitty or thomas humidifier and I really like the sports balls.

    My pediatrician actually uses the ear check and recommends them to people with kids who have chronic ear infections, how's that for a great endorsement?

    Not too sure about a battery operated nasal aspirator. We stick with the nice small ones I found that have a plug at the bottom so you can actually clean them. And why would you have to bring your own nasal aspirator to the hospital?? Their suction machine is a lot better than anything available on the market. Either way it does sound smart to have different size tips.
  • Lorraine Brown
    I have looked at the Crane USA website to check all their products. My daughter is soon with my first grandchild and when I told her we would need to get a personal humidifier for the baby, my first thought was to naturally just buy a Holmes from the local Dept. store. Then, I got this email and have totally changed my mind. I definatley want to get a Crane USA one. I really like the idea of that Nasal Aspirator from Graco Baby. It seems like it will be so much more efficient than the old kind, and although I still have the ear thermometer from when my daughter was an infant, it certainly doesn't have the features that the one from Ear Check does and so I will be putting one of those on the list for her too. I have looked at all 3 websites, and they are very easy to maneuver around and get information from. The have all the contact information needed as well as products that are available, and full descriptions. Excellent websites fro all 3 companies
  • I love the penguin humidifier. I think the ear check is a great idea, too. I would love to be able to check my little one for ear infections at home rather than making a trip to the doctor every time.
  • israel y
    The humidifiers are so cute! And I like that it is sold in so many stores! Graco makes such great stuff - we have their pack n play and will be getting one of their strollers shortly. The ear check monitor is such a useful little gadget - makes you feel like a doctor!
  • I think the Crane humidifiers are adorable! My little Spongebob fanatic would be thrilled to see they have a Spongebob one. I love how they have so many designs to choose from and they are low power consumers and run quietly.
    I think the Earcheck is genius! There have been a few times I had to take my son to the doctor for an assumed ear infection. Like their claims of being accurate and painless.
    And the NasalClear Aspirator by GracoBaby...awesome! I hate using the little bulb aspirator. I have a playard, swing and stroller by Graco and I LOVE them! Graco is a quality brand.
  • Shannon O'Sullivan
    Ohh Lord! How great is your timing?!? We are all (myself and the 20 mth old trips) suffering from some sort of plague! ugghhhh!!
    I am seriously going to invest in the ear check device!!! and the nose aspirator looks so much more effective then the yucky bulbs...which I rely on until the glorious day they can blow their own nose!!
  • Claire
    Well, we have our first family of 4 cold, so this is very timely! I want all of these. I love the humidifiers - I have seen them before, but I am excited about all the options. The ear check product is great as well - seems like a good compliment to going to the doc - we can see if things are clearing up or not when we are deciding if we should return for another visit. And I really wish I had the Aspirator for tonight - it looks great, and 12 different tunes is fun.
  • Tasha, Bellaziza Columnist
    Claire and Shannon - Sorry to hear that you guys are suffering too! The best part about these products is that they can be found at a store near you!! So go!!! You could be sleeping better TONIGHT!! :) Tasha
  • I love the froggie Crane humidifier that we have-- except that my 2-year-old keeps taking the head off and turning it over and splashing in the "puddle." I need a higher platform to keep it away from her! Love the idea of the battery-operated nasal aspirator, and I really could have used the ear checker a few months ago. Thanks for the chance!
  • Amie Maberry
    I would love the ear check product, we have the scope to look in the ear, which is nice (and we use it) except we don't have a clue what we're looking for. A easy to use product like that sounds much easier to help me catch those ear infections.
  • erianna
    My sister in law just got the cute froggy humidifier & I put it on my "mental list" for next winter! And I've been looking everywhere for an alternative to the bulb syringe--love that this one has music to distract the little one :)
  • Seriously all three of these products are GOLDEN! My 13 month old HATES the snot sucker but unfortunately it is the thing in our house that probably gets the most use. And who doesn't love a cute humidifier!
  • You need some RockerByeBaby Booger Bashers for those snotty noses while the Humidifiers are busy doing their jobs :)
  • Tamra Coughlin
    What a great collection of items. I especially like that the Graco NasalClear Aspirator claim quick & effective and is dishwasher safe! I personally don't have enough experience with children & ear infections yet, but I have a friend whose children all deal with it so I imagine this would be extremely helpful as well! The adorable animal line of Crane Humidifiers are precious! I love the night light feature!
  • I have your button on my blog www.apsychmommy.com
  • We have the penguin humidifier from Crane and we absolutely love it! We went through 2 other humidifiers before finding this one--another brand broke pretty much right out of the box and a second one was so loud that it kept waking up our baby! The Crane one is awesome!
