And that's just a few of the many items up for grabs. From Ecogear recycling bags to Perry Ellis Platinum cologne for your man, there's sure to be a giveaway (or two, or three, or many!) that you'll want to enter.

So head on over and check out the Mom Central Valentine's Day Gift Guide today!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central. Mom Central entered my name in a random drawing to win a gift to thank me for taking the time to participate.

And, While You're Expecting...

Amon Maternity wear helps you look your best while you're expecting. Their supportive foundations hold your belly up, providing support for your back and helping you keep correct posture. They're also great for AFTER the baby, to hold that tummy in until you get those post-pregnancy muscles back in shape.

Amon has belly bands, to provide lower back support and create a smooth look under clothing, ultra-soft briefs for comfortable, full coverage, "skivvies" with low legs to smoothe and support under clothes, and bodyshapers.

I actually tried out a pair of Amon bodyshaper undergarments (!) even though of course I'm not pregnant. The bodyshaper is actually for women to wear post-pregnancy, as it is designed to help you regain that pre-pregnancy figure while making you look great in the meantime. They're high-waisted, naturally, to smoothe your tummy, with firm support to hold you in (Available in black, white and nude, $25). Thumbs-up!

I do think you need to be careful when wearing a form-fitting dress because the Amon bodyshaper will create a delination at the top of the bodyshaper if you have a little extra poof around your waist. I think the Amon bodyshaper would be best under pants and a blouse or with a supportive camisole if worn under a dress.

Gift Cards to Give Away?! TRUE $!

Hollywood Video and Movie Gallery want you to know about the new True $ offering within their Power Play program, and they are so sure you'll like True $, they are backing it up with a GIVEAWAY of gift cards for Cool Moms Rule readers!


Hollywood Video and Movie Gallery’s new True $ offering lets you select from three newly created monthly movie rental programs. And unlike other programs, True $’s lets you keep the movies as long as you’d like without incurring any late fees or additional charges.

There are three True $ Plan Options:

Plan One - Rent one movie at a time – up to 8 movies/month for $7.99 per month
Plan Two - Rent two movies at a time – up to 15 movies/ month for $14.99 per month
Plan Three - Rent up to three movies at a time – up to 25 movies/month for $24.99 per month

So, Why True $?

According to a Movie Gallery web survey conducted by Market Decisions Corporation, more than 27 percent of movie rental kiosk customers keep their movies for more than one day, increasing the $1 per night rental cost in some cases to upwards of $3 or $4.

With True $, Hollywood Video and Movie Gallery stores allow PowerPlay members to select from more than 7,000 Core Collection titles and pay just $1 per rental. There are no additional per night costs or due dates, keeping the cost at just $1 whether the movie is returned the next day or the next week.

Cool Moms Rule has been offered up to 10 giftcards for free “THREE MONTH MEMBERSHIPS” from the $14.99/month plan to Movie Gallery’s new True $ rental program! These giftcards are valued at $45 each!
