This giveaway has ended and I’ll announce the winner shortly!
I‘m back for our final Home for the Holidays giveaway! We’ve enjoyed 15 giveaways across the entire network this week—all great gift ideas, just in time for the holidays.
I’m excited about my last giveaway today because of all the imaginative play it’s going to inspire in my little people and in the home of one lucky winner.
It’s a $100 gift certificate to Sarah’s Silks–a store full of dress up inspiration for kids.
Whether you have toddlers, preschoolers, or elementary-aged children, you’ll find something in this shop to add to your Christmas list.
Find out how you can win!
I first discovered Sarah’s Silks a few years ago, and last Christmas I asked a family member to buy Trishna, Jonathan, and Elijah these sweet crowns.
So I was thrilled to welcome this shop as a vendor for our holiday week. For my review items, I chose a knight’s costume and two of the dress up capes Sarah carries in her store.
The capes come in a wide variety of colors and feel soft and smooth against your skin. I love that the colors are reversible, giving more choices to the child as they play. These capes have an elastic neck band with satin ties and should easily fit ages 3-8.
With all the pretend sword playing between two boys in my home I’m pretty sure this knight’s costume is going to see a lot of action after being opened on Christmas Day!
It’s a one-piece slip-on tunic, with a belt and cape attached. These costumes also match the crowns and play swords in the store and make the perfect outfit for pretending to be kings, princes, knights, and more.
Owner Sarah Lee discovered the power of silk in make-believe after becoming a mother herself. One day she tossed her young son an old silk scarf to use for dressing up–that was over 17 years ago and the rest is history!
The dyes used on the fabrics are non-toxic and the silks themselves can easily be hand-washed. As someone passionate about ethical spending, I appreciate this “family-made” policy from the company:
“Sarah’s Silks hires Chinese seamstresses who work in their homes, often sitting in doorways, as their children play nearby. Sarah’s Silks offers the seamstresses incentives beyond prevailing wages as well as access to supplemental health insurance as part of their efforts to support the healthy families of their partners across the world.”
On top of their popular dress-up collection, other items the store carries include hand-dyed playsilks, bed canopies, and a range of toys. Look no further to find a great gift for the creative child in your life.
One Simple Homeschool reader will win a $100 gift certificate to Sarah’s Silks!

Our children use play silks, Sarah’s Silks:), and wooden words and shields the most in their dress up play. Thank you for making such lovely and limitless silks! Our children adore playing with them.
Wooden swords. 🙂 I like Simple Homeschool and Sarah’s Silks on Facebook.
My girls love the biggest tutus they can find and their princess heels!
I liked you both on FB!
My girls use two princess dresses we’ve had for a very long time, but they also use a large, light scarf as a cape or what-have-you. I love it when they play dress up.

Crowns, scarves, dresses- really anything! They almost never wear their regular clothes.
Bath towels! They make decent capes I guess.

Bed sheets and swords!
They dress up as princesses but my littlest is a boy and so far we don’t have any for him.
I already liked you but now like sarah’s silks on fb. 🙂
My kids all like to dress up as knights and princesses from medieval England!
For dressup play, my kids use their blankets, head scarves, play silks and baby muslins. Endless fun! We could definitely use some more silks, though… thanks for the chance to win.
My nephew loves to use blankets as capes and then “fly” around the room as a super hero 🙂
These are beautiful. My daughter most uses a handed-down Ariel dress for pretty much any dress-up need.
Oh, this would be fabulous to win. Currently, my daughter’s into hats: mama’s, daddy’s, hers– it doesn’t matter, as long as they’re soft and comfortable!
My kids use materials from all over the house for their imaginative play.
My girls love to play with a cape and dress. One of them is Mother Gothel and the other is Rapunzel from Disney’s Tangled. Would love to win this gift!
My son is only 13 months old and right now he is pretty easily pleased with a blanket, but these look like so much fun! Give him a few more months and I bet he would LOVE these!
My four year old loves to dress up as flying super hero’s. He makes up his own characters with capes and hats, and then has the power to fly around the house! We have been wanting more dress up clothes and the only thing on his Christmas list this year is more dress up clothes!
I “liked” Simple Homeschool and Sarah’s Silks on facebook!
My son loves his firehat but playsilks are popular here too.
My youngest daughter loves to be a princess. The older 2 stick withof some sort of warrior or doctor.
