KICK-ASS BOWS - GIVEAWAY with 3 Winners!!
*Don’t forget to enter the Mandy’s Moon giveaway to win a Vietnamese Treetop Angel by tomorrow night!*
I’m finally introducing the bows that have me CRAZED! Normally, you buy your little girl clothes, and then shop for hair bows to match. Well, Kick-Ass Bows will have you doing the reverse. I’m not kidding. I’ve never seen cuter hair bows anywhere, plus, Holly is just awesome to work with. She’ll even do custom designs, but if you lack creativity like me, she also has plenty of examples to choose from. I just about died when I opened the box of bows she made Finley and saw all the bling, the adorable ribbon prints, the clay molded center pieces, the bottle cap with the Vietnam flag on it! Ridiculous. And the bling? Ooooh the bling…it’s made of Swarovsky crystal, I kid you not, and that’s true bling.
Holly’s prices are SO reasonable, and here’s the best part about her prices…Holly is a fellow adoptive-parent to 2 super cuties from Guatemala, who generously gives 10% of her proceeds to a Guatemalan humanitarian organization called Global Orphan Team. She also makes a flag bow for just about every country that has had an adoption program, so for the families with kids from Vietnam, get your Vietnam bows before Tet!! Jack insisted on modeling this:
- Visit Kick-Ass Bows, have a look around, come back here and drop a comment with your favorite ribbon or bow on her site. This counts as 1 entry. Leave your comment by midnight on Friday, December 5th.
- Earn 2 extra entries by posting the Kick-Ass Bows button on your sidebar, come back and drop 2 more comments saying you posted this button. All you have to do is copy and paste the text inside the box below into your own blog’s text option for a sidebar widget. Give it a try - it’d help get the word out about Holly’s bows, which will also help the Global Orphan Team. There may or may not;) be another opportunity down the road that this will help you with too…I’m just sayin’.
-
- You can also earn 1 extra entry for doing any one of the following (for up to 4 entries total per person if you also did #2…that did not sound right, but you know what I mean): blog about this contest, put it on your facebook, twitter, or talk about it on any other yahoo group or networking site. Just drop another comment for each of those you do with links to your post, or telling us where you spread the word. Again, you may have up to 4 TOTAL comments / entries.
- If any of your comments land in my moderation queue, don’t duplicate them, I will approve them and they will count!
- You must leave a valid email address and be willing to email me your shipping address if you win.
- Only those with a US or Canadian shipping address are eligible.
- Winner will be chosen using random.org and announced December 6nd.

#9 is a really sweet one. I would love to get a pair for my girls.
wild cat on rose…….double is my favorite
I really like the pink itty bitty bows. My niece would look so cute in them. Thanks for the giveaway!
too cute - love them all. must get a bottle cap bow…..maybe even one with the feathers. Finjin would look fab in feathers!
i like number 19 on the example page, what awsome bows for a great cause!
What an awesome site, so much cutness! I love the silver snowflake clip, and the Swarovski Crystal Pink Snowflake Sprite. Thanks for entering me.
I saw Finley’s Thanksgiving bow in a pic and thought it was so cute!! Harper needs one!! I am loving #3 but I love them all really. I’ll be back to post about how I’m spreading the word - fb, mops, etc.
#37
4″ Double ABC Bow with
Green Crayon Clay Center
I added the button
I really did….I will have to think of a little girl that I know that could wear these gorgeous bows….OK, I thought of one!!
I really like the peppermint candy clay center from her example page. It’s hard to pick only one! Love them!!
Big fan of bow-bows as my niece calls them. Especially since Eva’s hair is in her eyes without them, and Cleo has this fabulous tuft of curls on top of her head perfectly suited for a big fat bow. I like the silver snowflake.
I like the zebra print sprite the best. Very cute!
These are adorable! I love the Ireland flag bow…perfect for my cousin’s new baby!
The #9 the double ABC bow is really pretty!
I’m a sucker for the simply solids ABC bow. So many colors to choose from! Also that hysterical Dick Cheney comment made me laugh my butt off.
AndreaDB
What a great site! My daughter wears a bow almost every day, so we’ve gotta win this one! I’m a big fan of the “simply solid basic abc” bows. I can’t get over the amount of colors to choose from!
i love all the chunky sprite bows. I would probably get some bottle cap bows…i havent figured out what type yet…but i can’t wait to look at them some more. I will definately be ordering some as stocking stuffers, even if i don’t win!
I love them all! How does one choose?
Spreading the word on Facebook
i have been loving the fact that miss finley has been sporting bows lately:)
um, i think i like #32. all so cute!
“Animal” bottle cap is AWESOME!!!!!
The white snowflakes on hot pink would go perfect my daughter’s new dress!
The Ladybugs on Pink are so cute!
These bows are absolutely adorable!! Love the bling!! I really like the swarovski crystal pink snowflake sprite and the 3 inch mini sprite in white snowflake on the new hot pink. Ugghhh!! You can’t just pick one….Now, if I weren’t so computer illiterate and actually had a blog or facebook site or something, I could enter more than one time. Oh well!! I just can’t seem to fit it one more thing. I don’t know how you do it Laurie?!? Thanks for the site for the bows, even if I don’t win, I will be ordering bows.
My favorite is the Pink Retro Stripe ribbon!
Well clearly anyone who has seen my Malia knows I LOVE bows so I have got to win this!!! Anyways I love the fuzzy grinch for the holidays but would love any really!!
What great bows, I loved tons of them! My favorite though is the Silver Snowflake Clip. Would be perfect since it is snowing right now, ugh!
Oh these are so adorable and I think Delaney would drum up tons of business for them if she were wearing them, since she about stops traffic anywhere we go, and with the bows on too it’d be out of control! I love the headbands, actually, as I have been looking for some better, new, cute ones for her. And the “Little Miss Chatterbox” bottle cap would be PERFECT, or the Yo Gabba Gabba, or so many of the adorable prints… I would have NO TROUBLE spending that gift cert!
I like the Grinch.
I am leaving for China to finally meet my daughter in a couple weeks. I can picture these cuties in her hair.
There is NO WAY I could choose just one as my favorite. My girls are so girly and would love these bows!!! Here is my first entry! One of my faves is the snowflake clip…it’s so sparkly!!! I love the holiday ones as well…the turkey is so funny!!!
I added it to my facebook. These bows are so cute!
I love the Grinch bows.
Ok I choose the snowflake clip! Sooooo cute and you know that my husband will not like you feeding my hairbow obsession!
Laurie I added the button on my blog!
Guatemalan Flag Sprite would be perfect for my guate-tot, but I do also love the Mr. Turkey bow.
lrc105 at gmail dot com
I seriously need an addiction group for hair bows - and this is my second comment for adding the button!
i love hairbows!
really like the spring mod flowers patterned ribbon in a basic or double bow look! so cute!
So hard to choose just one. I like the snowflake!
The penguins is my favorite!
My favorite are the Itty Bitty Baby bows-SO cute! I am expecting my first little girl in a month and can’t wait to play with bows soon!!
Oh! Man, these are CUTE. If only my 5 year old would keep a bow in her hair without me watching over her! I am going to have to get her some for special occasions! I love the country bottle cap bows! I like the snowflake clips. The turkey bow is adorable too! So-all of them!
#11 — the peppermint candy is soooo cutie-patootie!
These are really cute i just love the angels and candy canre bows and also the pin withswirlys
Okay, add me in again as I linked the web page for Holly on a local adoptive parents support and playgroup board.

PS — This is my fourth and final comment. I updated my status on facebook to direct them to Holly’s site and will leave my status as such for a few days. Yippee!
I LOVE the black on hot pink toile. That would be so cute on my sweet niece.
I also added your post as an item on my facebook. Not sure if you can find it from this link: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/posted.php?id=9630470.
Love them! finley looks adorable!!!!
Love them all! Any of them with the special grippers for fine hair are my favorites, I can’t keep anything in Chloe’s hair–this would be perfect!
i know i should not even be entering, i just won a contest, but I love the bows and it is impossible to find any cute ones where i live. I will order some even if i don’t win some, but free is always better!!! I love the gymnastics bow and the hanukah bow is a must!
Very cute —- how can they not be with a business name like that right? Lovin’ on some #3 and #30 and the like!

Sooo cute! Maria is the girliest of girls and would LOVE these. I love the Vietnam sprite, and the Curious George bottle caps (her nickname is Monkey).
December’s Bow of the Month is pretty darn cute!
i like the snowflake clip and the december bow of the month in pink.
I blogged http://momcontests.blogspot.com/2008/12/25-gift-card-to-kick-ass-bows.html
I really like the Vietnam Sprite, would look great with K’s ao dai this year.
I love the pink retro striped one. I would love to have any of them for my little girl!
Loved the snowflake clip~!

Talked up the contest of Facebook!
I would love these for my twins! I really like all the swirls bows and the Spring Mod Flowers ribbon.
December’s bow!!!!!!!!
love the sprite bows, my littlest one has the really fine hair that hangs in her eyes without a barrett or bow and these are not your drugstore variety, thanks for introducing me!!
Very ADORABLE!!! I like the #9,13,18,24,41 oh, I can’t decided. I’ll take them all!!!
48, 39, 5… I know someone in our house who would go NUTS for the Elmo bow! I have loved Holly’s bows forever!
And I posted the widget - tycastteam.blogspot.com!
Lucky 73!
There are a lot of cute bows, but the Thanksgiving turkey one is the best!
LOVE the Thanksgiving bow that Finley modeled. I want one. Now.
Love the Mini Mouse Sprite Bow. So adorable!
I love the kissy lips on white ribbon bows for Valentines day!
Here’s my second widget post! Come on lucky 78!
United States Of America Flag Sprite
I figured out how to add the button to the sidebar on my site!
2nd post for adding the button to the site. I had to order a couple of samples today because I couldn’t even wait to see if I won a gift certificate–incredible variety and too many options!
I love the #76 panda bow. Too adorable! Though she definitely needs to create a Greece bow and Duke bow.
oooh, i just love them all but i think my faves are the simple bowtie bow in pink, of course
I love the winter sprite and the snowflake clip
Glad to see such good response to Holly’s site
Here’s my first post…
…and my second, b/c I have the button on my site….
…and #3, since I blogged about the contest here: http://nickholly.blogspot.com/2008/12/hoping-to-win-again.html …
…and #4, for posting it on the yahoo Moms group for our community
Here’s hopin!!
Just ordered three. Thanks for the link…too cute. My favorites??? I guess the two designs I ordered. Two Vietnam Sprites and a Feliz Navidad Bow. Can’t wait to get them. Totally enjoy your blog. With the exception of our age, we have some weird things in common. Travel, Marie Sharps, Colorado, Medical (in a way), Vietnam adoption…just to name a few. Thanks again, Happy Holidays.
LOVE the snowflake bows with the bling…and I am sure Sophie will too
Definitely the silver snowflake clip, though the abominable snowman is pretty great too.
I’d love the basketball ribbon with the sprite bow, very cute to wear to big brother’s bball games. Thanks.
spring mod flowers in and itty bitty - so cute!!!
Ok, KAB’s you are forever immortalized in my sidebar
um - under “The Office” quotes. NOTHING gets priority over my Office quotes in the sidebar.
and . . . just posted about KAB’s on adoptionhair_skincare Yahoo group. There. Pick me, pick me, random!
Ok, I just started the blog thing. Yes, I am a little behind schedule but better late than never! Kick Ass Bows is on my new blog.
Living in Vietnam at the moment and in the process of adoption a little girl (with lots of hair!) so my favorite is the Vietnam bow!
[...] the Kick-Ass Bows giveaway! You have until midnight on Friday. Don’t forget that when you buy bows from [...]
Enter me, enter me! My friend, Holly is da BOMB! I have her Kick Ass Button on my blog too!! I guess that I will leave two more comments… hope I am doing it right!
Laurie… just have to say - you ROCK too!!
finley looks adorable with her big bows! She and Sophie are true bow girls!
I love the edible things bows. With 3 little girls in the house, bows are a must. Hopefully someday soon NJ will add some hair and we will put in a bow so she won’t be mistakened for a little baby boy, even when she is dressed in all pink, ha!
I am in love with the #10 animal bottle cap. It was so hard to pick just one, these bows are amazing. The world must be told of these bows!
I have been a long time admirer (well, as long as she’s been in business) of Holly’s Kick Ass Bows! I haven’t ordered any yet, but I “window shop” often. Your Finley has more hair than my twenty month old! But, with those Grippie things I think I’ll give some Itty Bittys a try.
My favorite bow would have to be the Guatemalan bottlecap one - my daughter would wear it to celebrate her big brother’s birth country!
I linked to you!
I like the Year of Sprites!
I’m in love with the silver snowflake clip. Too cute!
Added to facebook– really hoping for some Christmas-themed baby clippies! (does emailing the link to grandma count for extra?)
OK I looked at the bows again. I am obsessed! I have to have some for Ashlyn! She, like Finjin, has no hair, and the wispies she does have are the mullet-combover. Pathetic. I can’t get anything to stay in there. People still think she is a boy sometimes. If I don’t win the giveaway, I will buy some of my own.
I love the silver snowflake clip and the crystal pink snowflake sprite. Too cute!
Little Miss S needs some new bows! Personally, I’m a fan of the chunky sprite with the OU bottle cap. As if dressing my little girl in her Oklahoma cheerleading outfit on Saturdays wasn’t enough, I could top it all off with a bow!
Too cute! I need to order some for my daughter because people often ask if my twins are both girls or both boys (even when they are dressed in boy/girl colors). Some kick-ass bows would go far in helping people guess tell them apart. I love them all including the snowflake clip!
I love the furry grinch bow, good work!
I love the animal crackers ribbon. Not only does it have darling animals, but it has many colors so it will go with almost anything!
I would choose a horses ribbon pink/brown, and I’d definitely need an alligator clip with the grip thing-y. I just have to say that I laughed at the “bow emergency” section. Living in Alabama has really brought to light just how seriously some take their bows!
No need to enter me in the contest because I am just here to VOUCH FOR THE MOST AWESOME BOWS ON THE PLANET!! My 2 girls wear them all the time and the quality & durability are FANASTIC!! You cannot go wrong with Holly’s bows! So shop away and enjoy them all! The bottlecap bows are the best!
I love the Winter Sprite in Red!
Ahhh! I’m addicited to Holly’s bows. We need more! I added the button to my blog.
This is my second entry for the button on my blog. Holly’s bows are the best, really sturdy, cute, and easy to clean food off!
Not only are Holly’s bows the cutest I have ever seen - they are so unique and creative. I like that you can design you own and have your own sense of style and flair that fits your child’s personality. This one of a kind hair bow boutique is a must for my baby girl - My favorites are the flag bottle caps - I love the adoption awareness aspect of them. I think in the world we live in - we can not promote adoption and the miracle of it enough! I love that part of the money I spend for hairbows will go straight to aiding children that do not have families. have the link on my side bar - but I already ordered bows - so do not enter me into the drawing:) I have to support adoptive Mom with a heart this big!
I love all the holiday bows! We tend to lose our bows frequently so I am always having to replenish our supply!
Tara C
I currently have 2 favorites…the Grinch and the Guatemala bow…they are GORGEOUS!! These are HIGH-QUALITY bows!!! Even my dh loves them!!

Such cute bows! I , too, never pictured myself as a “bow” type of mom, but I am totally addicted. Unfortunately, my 14 month old recently figured out how to take them out - but I still love them!

How do you pick one favorite ribbon from all of these! There are so many on there that I love, but I guess if I had to pick just one, it would be brown ribbon with pink dots - I’m partial to dots I guess. If only I could find a Rett Syndrome Awareness Ribbon I would get that!
Love Love Love the Vietnam bow !!!
Guess what, I figured out how to add the button!
Here’s my 2nd comment for adding the buttom
