Back to school with Gutzy Gear!

Back to school with Gutzy Gear!

While in New York at the Blogher convention I had the opportunity to discover Gutzy Gear! I was completely excited about the product as I knew my own kids would be just as excited as I was!

So mom’s are you tired of your child wanting a new backpack for school but you know their backpack isn’t worn out? So instead of buying a new back pack why not just glam it up so your child feels like it is new!

Gutzy Gear is a new way for children of all ages to express their personalities on their backpacks, hats, and bags! There is a huge assortment of Gutzy patches for both girls and boys! The patches stick to the Gutzy back pack straps that slide easily over your own back pack straps. I have found the patches also stick to sweaters and sweater type winter hats. Your child can pick and choose whichever patches represent them!

We were so excited to find this product that we decided to share it with our own friends ranging in ages 3 up to 12 years of age. Check out the fun pictures we got of everyone trying out their Gutzy gear!

Each child was having a ball looking through the assortment of different patches to choose from! And one of the mom’s told me that her first grade son (pictured below) even ran up to show his school teacher the very next day!

Who could forget the Jr. High girls? Yep, they too jumped on the bandwagon and had no problem finding patches that they loved! My daughter is already scoping out which one’s she wants for Christmas! You can collect, trade or share your Gutzies with each other!

Gutzy gear online also has a fun intearctive site that each child can log into and create their own “Gutzy Space” which includes creating your own Gutzy for your page and earning virtual Gutzies for your page!

Gutzy Gear Backpack Straps retail for $9.99 and there are 2 straps per package and as a bonus the strap package comes with a smiley face patch to get your child started. The Gutzy patches come in a 2 pack and range in price from $3.99 to $5.99. Gutzy Gear products can be purchased at Kmart, Target, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart and on Amazon. One more bonus.. If you purchase any Gutzy product in stores, you can get a rare Gutzy free from now until September 30th. Jump online for a form and send it in with your original receipt and you will get a Rare, mystery Gutzy in the mail!
