Yep, you read it right. This is our best giveaway so far- a $150 shopping spree at Oompa.com, my favorite online toy store. If you don’t know Oompa yet, take a look! Oompa features a constantly-expanding selection of the best European (and European-inspired) toys and baby toys from brands like Haba, Schylling, Brio, and Plan Toys. As the site’s tagline says, “No batteries. No blinking lights. No cartoon-themed toys. Period.” Just wonderfully-crafted, fantastic toys that will hold your kids’ interest (and your sanity) a lot longer than the latest Dora dollhouse.
Ooooh, the winner is going to get to choose from so many great products (check out all of my past posts about Oompa products). Here are just a few of my current favorites at Oompa:
From the looks of WH Swiss Toy’s My Magnificent Pirate Ship ($79.99), the name fits the toy. Ahoy, matey!
Prefer to stay on land? Camp out at Plan Toys’ contemporary dollhouse ($99.99):
Hungry? Check out this Haba play food basket ($18.99). Looks better than most real gift baskets!
Oompa’s not only about wooden toys, though. There are plenty of cuddly friends too, like Latitute Enfant’s cozy hugging Grannimal Emile & Emilien ($29.99) which my daughter R. has and LOVES:
From beautiful wooden toys to soft cuddly dolls, from baby rattles to room accents, Oompa’s got it all. Visit Oompa.com.

I’ve ordered Haba toys from Oompa and loved both the site and the product. A great source!
Hi there J. Oompa rules! Whether or not I win, I have to get my hands on that contempory dollhouse – the decor is more impressive than what we have going on in our actual home.
Each goody is better than the next! Love them all!
Yay for wooden toys! We love Plan Toys and Haba- there are some other great brands at Oompa Toys that I’ve never seen!
Cool store!
This is still my favorite blog. It is the only thing I check every day other than my personal email. I love these great ideas. I have bought from several of the websites listed, and it has given me some great ideas to keep in my back pocket for later. This is a great giveaway! I can see why you love this site so much.
This is great! And generous enough to get something for both the toddler and the baby we’re expecting this summer…
What a great giveaway. I’ve never heard of that website, but going to surf it now…
Thanks!
