Sponsor Spotlight: DFW Child

Hooray! The Jingle Bash is almost here! We could not bring our favorite handmade shopping event to you without the support of our generous sponsors, so today, let's turn the spotlight on a longtime supporter of Etsy Dallas events, DFWChild . 

Parents, no matter where you live in the metroplex, DFWChild has something for you. You can find all the latest local kid-friendly happenings in DallasChild, FortWorthChild, and NorthTexasChild. As a Mom of four kids, I personally, can tell you that I never miss the chance to read through an issue of Dallas Child magazine.Those adorable cover kids grab me every time! I have a few favorite sections that I always turn to first, and they are the Kids Eat Free locator (the kids gotta eat, might as well get a deal) and the birthday parties!!! Oh so many adorable party ideas. And then, there are always the intriguing reads. This month's Having It All article really hit home for me. 

You can pick up a free copy of Dallas Child at many local kid-friendly businesses and doctors' offices. You can also read each month's digital version on-the-go. If you aren't already following them on your social media feeds, here is where you can find them: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Google+. 

And don't forget to keep an eye out for the upcoming DFW Child-Etsy Dallas Bash Bucks Contest for a chance to win free shopping money at the Jingle Bash!

Win Bash Bucks to Spend at The Jingle Bash

I know you learned back in high school econ that there's no such thing as a free lunch. Which means that, technically, there's no such thing as free BASH BUCKS.

But let's just suspend economic theory for a moment. BECAUSE BASH BUCKS ARE BACK!

DFW Child Magazine and Etsy Dallas are sponsoring TWO $50 Bash Bucks prizes. All you have to do is pop over to the contest site, fill in your name and email (so we can let you know you won!) and tell us your favorite holiday song.

That's it.

On November 21st, you could be one of two lucky winners to receive $50 in Bash Bucks to spend the day of the show. So, make sure you'll be in town and that you're coming to the Bash, because (fine print) Bash Bucks spend just like cash but they must be spent the day of The Jingle Bash--November 23, 2013 from 11-6pm. They're non-transferable and not redeemable for cash. So if you buy a $5 item from one vendor, s/he can't give you $5 in cash change. If you're selected as a winner, you'll be given information on how/where to pick up your BASH BUCKS the day of the show.

And then you can pump those Bash Bucks back into the local craft economy. (Your economics teacher would be so proud.)
