Velpins… The Latest Trend Your Kids Will LOVE
Win some "fad"ulous pins HERE!
By: Dana Hardek
Here at Macaroni Kid, we love to tell you about all of the great new ideas that we hear about that will make you AND your kids happy! This week, we’re excited to tell you about a very cool new product called Velpins™ that are available for back-to-school time—and it was created by Eric Wente, a dad of three from the Pittsburgh area! Velpins™ are decorative buttons that attach to all of your kids’ back-to-school gear: backpacks, gym bags, folders, notebooks, purses, hats . . . you name it, Velpins™ will stick to it via a patented design using a seal patch and easy-stick Velcro! Velpins™ come in 64 different designs, and they’re decorated with anything from sports themes (like soccer, football, baseball, and basketball) to cartoons to funny sayings. There are also Velpins™ with flowers and hearts, so if you have a little girl like we do, she can get her pink fix. Other Velpins™ designs include psychedelic looks, and there are even American flags that could be adorning all of your kids’ stuff! Your kids will love all the choices they have, and they can customize their gear however they’d like! Even better (Eric thought of everything), Velpins™ designs are interchangeable. Kids can trade them and change them just by peeling off their Velpins™ button and putting on a new one—Trade, Collect, and Decorate! Velpins™ are sold in 2-packs for only $2.99, so not only are they fun, they’re completely affordable! And we want you to have them first! Macaroni Kid South West Pittsburgh is giving away 5 2-packs of Velpins to two lucky subscribers. – If you win, you and your kids will be able to pick out any of the 2-packs that you want. All designs are available on www.velpins.com. We think this is an awesome back-to-school giveaway! And when everyone’s wearing Velpins, you can tell them that you found out about it way back in August from Mac Kid! Here’s a video that shows you what you can do with Velpins™:

Those are so cute! My son was always looking for things to attach to his book bag last year and we had a hard time finding something that wasn't too big but still cute. Great find! I'll be looking for them at stores too!!!
