Due to popular demand, we now ship to Canada. We have now enabled the site to create a Canadian ship to address during checkout. Hopefully this will make it easier for those who wishes to ship to Canada.

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

We are excited to tell you about the new brand we’ve added. Estia is a German toy company that offers exquisitely carved wooden toys.

Check out the recently added selection of toys from Estia

Our favorites: the adorable Threading Animal Squirrel, and the Waddling Dachshund pull toy.

We especially love the Threading animal because the cord is attached to the squirrel so you will never have to worry about fishing it out from under the couch. ;-)

Threading animals also comes in the form of Rabbit, Butterfly, Penguin, and Horse.

New mobiles from Flensted

Monday, January 28th, 2008

We are really big fans of Flensted Mobiles. We have a couple of their mobiles hanging in our house. We’ve added 15 new mobiles from Flensted. Here are 3 of our favorites:

Hedgehog Family Post Card Mobile Seahorse Blue

Here’s a little lesser known fact about Flensted Mobiles:

“Flensted Mobiles are produced in a very low carbon manner: Let me explain, instead of 75 workers every day drive into the factory and assemble mobiles, they work from their homes. Every 14 day we drive on 1 trip visiting all workers exchange unassembled parts for mobiles packaged and ready to ship. We save 75 x 10 days of driving every 2 weeks or approximately 200 days a year for each employee. Let’s say each live 5 miles from work they get 20 miles to the gallon it will then come out to saving 7500 gallons of gas a year. We have been doing this for over 30 years.”

Gift Certificates are here

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

When Jennifer at Des Moines Moms asked if we offer gift cards or certificates, we immediately decided to make it our top priority to offer gift certificates. That was about a month ago. We’re glad we did that because it took us a lot longer to implement than expected (isn’t that always the case?). So after a few weeks of coding it’s finally ready.

Late last night, we deployed a new version of KangarooBoo with the ability to purchase gift certificates. For those who don’t really know what gifts to get, how about the KangarooBoo Gift Certificate?

Welcome

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Welcome to the KangarooBoo.com blog. Something we should have started before we launched. Anyways, better late than never right? We’ve been super busy since we launched and have been putting off getting this blog off the ground and now we’re up! Woohoo!

We officially launched on October 17, so we’re almost 2 weeks old! Amazing. What does “officially launch” mean? Well, we’ve had a splash page up for the longest time at KangarooBoo.com, with a little form for people to sign up to be notified when we launch. On October 17 we sent out an email to the 60+ people who had signed up. Many replied telling us that they had forwarded our URL to their friends. Some even to their entire address book. We are touched. Thank you!

So anyway, about this blog. This is an informal blog where we post updates, announcements, and everything and anything concerning KangarooBoo.com.
