Noblo Umbrella Buddy...Review & Giveaway!



The minute the snow begins melting my mind starts drifting to summer.  We Mainers simply can’t help ourselves…after our long winters we are ready for some fun in the sun.  I love taking the kids to the beach even though, with three little ones, the process can be a little less than relaxing.  After lugging all the gear (towels, blanket, cooler, toys, beach umbrella) and children, it is time to set up.  Spread out enormous blanket, dump out toys and set up umbrella and then proceed to chase said beach umbrella down the shore before it knocks down an unsuspecting child. This happens to me every single time I go to the beach and I am not alone.  I see parents struggling to anchor umbrellas and then scrambling to catch them as they blow away.  This is more than just a nuisance too with many people getting injured each year as result of blowing beach umbrellas.  The answer to this issue?  The Noblo Umbrella Buddy.

The Noblo Umbrella Buddy, created by two moms (you all know how much I love a mom biz!!), is a small, vinyl bag with an attached strap.  You fill the bag with sand and attach the strap above the spokes of your umbrella.  Viola…your beach umbrella is anchored and you don’t have to worry about chasing your umbrella down when you should be chasing after your children.  When you are done, you simply dump out the sand and fold the Noblo Umbrella Buddy up to use next time.  I know the Noblo will have a permanent spot in my beach bag and I can hit the beach a little more relaxed with one less thing to worry about.  Hello summer fun!  You can pick up the Noblo Umbrella Buddy for $14.99 in a slew of fun colors by visiting www.thenoblo.com.  

I also want to mention a couple of things I think are great about the Noblo company.  First the product is packaged in New Jersey by CVR, a local non-profit who hires mentally and physically handicapped individuals.  Second, $.05 of every bag sold goes directly to United States Life Saving Association (the non-profit for beach life guards).  So, the Noblo has a whole lot going for it if you ask me.....a useful and reasonably priced product, created by moms that gives back to the community.  I give the Noblo Umbrella (and company!) and A+ all around!
