Classy Mommy Giveaway: Dante Beatrix Backpack from Oompa

It's August and I can just feel the Back to School spirit wherever I go! Kenzie is prepping for 2 days a week of preschool - and I'm all about finding just the right gear to keep her styling. And I've found just the backpack - only her preschool has a regulation that all bags must NOT have zippers - think tote style for convenience and to avoid any pre-schooler zipper woes! So that leaves me with a fabulous opportunity to giveaway one of my favorite backpacks!
This modern and cheeky monkey backpack by Dante Beatrix sold at Oompa is up for grabs! Value $35.99. Leave a comment on this post telling me what you like best about the incredible finds at Oompa.com by August 24th,2008. US RESIDENTS only.
Note: Include your email address if you do not have visible contact information in your profile. I won't use your email address for anything or share it with anyone - but if you don't leave it I can't contact you as a winner! Lately this has been happening again and again, and I have to pick another winner....

what an adorable backpack, i love that monkey. The toys seem so neat and creative and at a reasonable price.
I like the fact that the company is local to me (Madison, WI) and the owner cares about what products to sell to parents for their children. Great quality and safe toys! Thanks for the chance to win!

Wow, I love the backpack and my toddler would LOVE her own backpack to be just like her older school-age siblings.
Love all the stuff on the site--never heard of Oompa before but looks like excellent quality items. Especially interested in the many puzzles and creative play items, and I love all the bright colors they use in their lines. Fun!

magnetic stacking train
A nice variety of cute things.
I love Oompa! Discovered their site recently and love their selection and the the quality of their products.
nadiapeng[at]yahoo[dot]com
I love the simplicity of the products. I don't have any kids of my own yet, but the products would be great for my niece and nephew, or even for the nursery at church!
Oompa has the most wonderfully made, classic type toys with a new spin on them. They are VERY sturdy (which is good for my terror, um, toddler) As for the monkey backpack, it's only fair that I not be the ONLY one with a monkey on my back!
I really like to buy things "Made in the USA" and like that they give you that option. This looks like a wonderful website with some great items. Thanks for the great giveaway! ecghick@yahoo.com
i like the the products are so colorful and fun
My son would love the monkey pack - he certainly is a monkey !
love the play food, cute!
I like the simplicity of the toys. It's toys that the child can actually use their imagination. We were looking at all of our daughter's toys (she's 15 mos old) that she doesn't play with - and there's a lot of them. She just wants to play with everyday objects. I would like to get her some puzzles and blocks.

Besides the wooden toys I really love the Beauty Salon with Stool from Educo. I have never seen one like that before and it is unique.
I love the simplicity of the toys, the wooden ones, etc.
I know this probably sounds cheesy but i love that there is no shipping fee for items over 65$. That is actually a big PLUS for me because i often send gifts to my friends in other states and ALWAYS search shipping fees before i decide what i can really afford!!!
jenniferaugust at yahoo.com
It's apparent at first sight that these are not ordinary run of the mill items. These are quality items. I love the bright colors and uniqueness of the selections there.

They have a lot of great items there. My oldest daughter would love to have the acoustic guitar while my youngest would love to stock her play kitchen with all the pretend food they have.
I love the wooden gorilla - my grandson loves anything to do with monkeys!
