THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.





















Relaxed Lavender best describes my child. He loves to play outside, riding bikes, playing with friends, but when the day draws to an end, he can be found stretched out in front of the fireplace reading books (often with several armfuls of pillows and stuffed animals!). He is a real relaxed cozy cat! He’s full of gentle sweetness. Lavender is the scent he chooses most often for oil in his bath. Oh, and we have two big lavender bushes near our front door, which he loves to rub and smell in the summertime!
Ooooh thats a hard one. Lets see. My oldest would have to be Lemongrass more for the grass smell since he is all about getting downn and dirty. My second odlest son would have to be Sweet Orange since he has a mighty seet tooth and for my youngest she would be a toss up between Chamomile and Lavender since she really is the calmest most relaxed baby I have in the house.
I think Cardamom is the best approximation of my baby. At 7 weeks, she is just starting to be interested in the world around her and has started “talking” a lot — very refreshing after a long first month and a half!
My little girl would have to be sweet orange because, of course, she’s so sweet and round and bright as sunshine on a warm summer day! Her smile and energetic personality make it a sunny day wherever she is, even when it’s gloomy outside (and you know how that is here in Seattle, Mama K!). And just like oranges, all I want to do is SQUEEZE her and eat up all her goodness — she’s so yummy! Our DD would probably choose geranium, however, for the only reason in her world that matters: it’s pink! Pink is her favorite color, in everything! DD loves to play and dance and sing and laugh and create all the time, especially if it involves using her hands and making little friends to play with while using her imagination to create worlds smaller than her own. Our little sculptor would totally love a new way to express herself in her own unique way.
I think sweet orange would be the best match for my child. She is vibrant, energetic, and joyous!
I guess I’d go with Uplifted Sweet Orange–she’s very sweet, and her smile definitely uplifts me!
It has to be Relaxed Lavender for my daughter! She is such a chilled out child that if she was any more relaxed she’d fall over!!
Lavender because it is so soothing!
I’m going to say lemongrass inspire probably is a good match for our young man. After a somewhat rough pregnancy he decided to join us two months early and despite a tough stay in NICU (mostly tough on mom and dad), he was able to come home after two weeks. While he was still less than 5 pounds he was a little trooper and began gaining weight at a pretty steady pace. While I can think of a few dozen adjectives to describe him, I feel certain that his slow but steady development has been nothing short of inspirational for both my partner and I.
Sweet orange is our daughter. In fact, she is downstairs right now devouring as many clementines as she can peel before I go down there and put a stop to the feeding frenzy. I’m sure it’s the scent she’d choose herself.
Sweet orange because my nieces love to get sticky and have fun and they’re a little bit spunky as well.
Uplifted sweet orange! My daughter has been a burst of sweetness and sunshine since the moment she entered my life.
Uplifted Sweet Orange best describes all 4 of my kiddos! They all are sweet children who have the ability to turn a glum day into a vibrant day. They are all warm and caring and their smiles are definetely uplifting. Citrus is energizing and these 4 are definetely full of energy. They love being outdoors running, dancing, swimming and so much more.
The chamomile describes my daughter perfectly. She is always so relaxed, sure of herself and in control. That is pretty special in a child!
Uplifted Sweet Orange. My son, Dylan (3yrs), is extremely energetic (and also super sweet)! He is definitely a zesty orange. Not only that, he also loves the fruit and the color! He’s awesome and I love him bunches! I’m positive he would be thrilled with some clay to express his creativity. I love them, too!!
Sweet orange fits my little one — he’s always full of smiles and sunshine.
Sweet Orange- she is uplifting and energizing!
Sweet Orange

My little guy is just about as sweet as they come… but don’t let it fool you–he’s got one heck of a personality!
Our little Max is not yet here, but from what I can tell he’s definitely a cardamom. Spicy, delicious and always gluten free
My husband and I have been gluten, dairy and egg free for about a year now. This product is just perfect for us!
For sure Balanced Geranium. Clay (yes I get the irony!) really is such a balanced baby. He is very even-tempered. He loves to be held but sometimes needs his own space and quiet, alone time. He loves how energetic his 6 year old big sister Eva is with him most of the time, but sometimes just wants her to be quiet – and lets her know. He loves to be tickled and massaged and he just giggles these big baby giggles, but sometimes he just wants to be left alone and take everything in. He is just such a joy and constantly makes everyone smile.

Lemongrass describes my daughter to a T. She is very creative. Loves to draw, write, take pictures, do puzzles. She’s always challenging herself. She does well in school too. Art is her favorite class of course. She would love to have these wonderfully scented clays. And knowing her, she would want to mix a little bit of each to create a whole new scent of her own.
I’d have to say Lavender, because it’s so soothing and my wee guy is so mellow.
My daughter is so thoughtful and lovely, I’d have to label her a “lavender kid”. I can’t wait to use these play clay’s with her – they look amazing!
I think my son would be a “Lemongrass”. He is creative and energetic. He is always up to something.
I love how many people have said Sweet Orange! My daughter is due March 14th and I imagine she too will be a Sweet Orange kinda girl, with a mama from Florida and all.
So glad I found your site, too cute!
I would give this to my niece. Her parents are getting a divorce and she is so upset about it. I think she needs a little of the “Eased Bergamot” Great colors by the way.
Lemongrass best describes my 20 month old daughter — she loves all kinds of crafts (coloring, stickers, stamping) and is very creative with her stuffed animals and tea parties.
My little guy would definitely be Cardamom!
I think my little guy would be geranium because he’s a mix of busy and sweet.
My older daughter would best be described by the “lemongrass” scent she is very creative and imaginative and loves to draw and paint. My littlest one would best be described by the “sweet orange” scent, she is such a happy and smiley baby.
sweet orange for my grandson
My daughter is “cardamon”! Exoctic, intriguing, familiar, and refreshing, yet with the wiseness of an old soul. She loves ethnic foods; Indian, Korean, Chinese, Thai, but was born of a WASPy mom and an Italian-American dad. I won’t even start on the clothes she picks out-
My son is inspired…he is lemongrass. He finds inspiration in everything!!!
cardamom describes our daughter best as she is a spicy, refreshing little one.
Eased Bergamot best describes my little girl. She is patient and easy going, and can spend hours merely observing her surroundings – but only if there is a lot to see. She needs spice in her life, whether it is crowds of people to watch or lots of toys to learn from, or whatever mom is eating to taste.
I would say that Inspired Lemongrass best describes my son. He has a voracious appetite for new experiences, new words, new places, and new people and it inspires me to be more adventurous with him.
the sweet orange because my daughter is so happy and goofy… she can bring a smile to anyone’s face!
Lemongrass for inspiration definitely!
My kids fill the house with an amazing mix of spice and fragrance! My 10 year old son would be the Balanced Geranium. When he comes home he brings balance to our family. He is a compassionate, meditative young man that trails a sense of natural beauty and peace. My 6 year old daughter, however, an Uplifted Sweet Orange. She brings joy and excitement to us with her sweetly insane hugs and kisses and nonsensical humor. She is the yin to his yang. In utero baby – what will he be? A beautiful in between of Eased Bergamot or Refreshed Cardamom?
The lemongrass as I’d imagine it would be earthy like my boys along with being inspiring which of course they are! Thanks, Maureen (jnomaxx at hotmail dot com)
i would say sweet orange fits my daughter, she’s very wild and energetic and uplifting, bouncing off the walls, but could use some focus.
If i had to chose the scent most needed it would be lavender…we could both use a bit relaxation and some chill time.
Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance!
This would be perfect for my grandson – a good friend, and OT recommended clay, scents, etc to help address his sensory motor development.
I’d say the Bergamot would be perfect for my son, since he’s so high-strung and needs to unwind. Plus he LOVES Earl Grey tea, so this scent would appeal to him. Though I’m not sure it wouldn’t end up in his mouth.
sweet orange because she’s a sweet kid
I would have to say my Rowyn would like Bergamot as it eases anxiety. Rowyn is 14 months and is very cautious and gets nervous very easily. Once she warms up to her surroundings she is outgoing and just a ham
but that first few minutes is hard for her and she sucks her fingers to ease some of her anxiety.
I have to say Uplifting Sweet Orange because my (huge) four-month-old constantly wants to be *lifted up* and carried around to look at everything! The pungent, sharp (but so sweet!) smell of orange also perfectly describes this incredibly alert, active, adorable boy. All of his waking hours must be spent interacting and observing everything around him — but I suppose it’s my own fault! When I was 40 weeks pregnant, to encourage him to hurry up and be born, I told him that he should come on out because he had a great adventure waiting him out in the wide world where he can *see* all the amazing things he’d been listening to for so long … and ever since he joined us out here, he hasn’t stopped looking at it all!!
My little buddy is definitely bergamot – totally unusual and no one knows what he’s going to smell like.
Definately lemongrass for my two year old tot. He’s so creative and has a huge imagination!
My little man is definitely a geranium-lover, he loves to brush his face along the geraniums (as well as the hydrangeas) in the garden – I think it’s some kind of forest-dwelling, cave-man throw-back. He’s happy, and that’s all that counts. It’d be lovely to have him playing with sweet-smelling, tactile clays inside when it’s too hot to be out in the sun.
My little girls are definitely a combination of sweet orange and lemongrass. They always know how to lift my spirits with their sweet smiles and contagious laughs. And they continuously inspire me to be a better mama and person.
My two girls are a delightful combination of sweet orange and lemongrass. They always know how to lift my spirits with their sweet smiles and contagious laughs. And they continuously inspire me to be a better mama and person.
Whoo hoo! What a great giveaway! Thanks MamaK’s! My little guy is definately a super relaxed chamomile kinda guy and my daughter is the super inspired Lemongrass (but with a touch of sweet orange!) I retweeted your contest and joined your facebook!
Uplifted Sweet Orange best describes my 17 month old…it’s the only scent that isn’t soothing, relaxed or eased so it has to be the best fit for a little guy FULL of energy!
I would love to play with these myself. Or sniff them deeply when I need a boost…:)
My son would be lemongrass: creative and spunky, full of great ideas!
I would have to say sweet orange describes my lil guy the best. Since before he could walk n talk I’ve been callin him my budda bear jumpin bean. This has morphed over the years into my sweet bean. He loves steamed buns – and loves to be called sweet bean. He’s so full a sugar! He really likes playing with play-dough that is home made – because I wouldn’t dream of buying the trademarked product – playdoh – gross!
Anyway – thanks for the opportunity!
Well, I’ve got 3 boys and I think they would each need their own aroma. For the little guy, lavendar, because so far, he’s the mellow one. For my middle son, orange, bright as his personality, and for the eldest, chamomille, his favorite tea.
I am not sure what my oldest son’s favourite scent would be but I would suggest Lavender for me – for those moments when he needs a little calm in his life (those terrible two’s!)
It would have to be Lemongrass becuase our kids makes us want to be better parents.
Inspired Lemongrass would best describe our daughter or maybe the sweet orange.
I would say lavender for my daughter as she’s just so darn calm!
bergamont…..she’s earthy, spicy, floral, and soothing.
Sweet orange best describes my 2.5 year old little boy, Blixa. Not only does he often smell like sweet oranges, he loves his mama and isn’t afraid to tell the world. The best part of my day is coming home to his sweet hugs and kisses and the sound of “mama! you’re home! I missed you soooooooo much!” It melts my heart on a daily basis. Although he’s a rough, tough, tank of a little man by day – playing with back-hoe-loaders, bulldozers, and excavators in the sandbox – he’s a super cuddle monster by night. He even tells me “I love you mama, sweet dreams” as he’s falling asleep in my arms every night. That boy gives me a cavity!
My baby is definitely bergamot because no matter what kind of crappy day I had at work, as soon as I get her in the afternoon, all my tension is relieved.
First, I had to check to see if this product is gluten-free, which it is – YAY!
My gal is bergamont all the way – must be morning cup of Earl Grey tea drunk during pregnancy…
Bergamot- he’s a strong willed child!
I would say that Geranium is most like my little one because it is sweet, but with a hint of spark to her!
I would say lemongrass–he is a spunky boy!
Our two-year old little guy would be Refreshed Cardamom – while a sweet child, he comes on quite strong when he likes a person and will not let up if he doesn’t get a response from them. He also enjoys spicy foods and doesn’t mind when his whole milk is spiked with decaf chai tea.
bergamot. she is invigorating and energetic. she smiles all day long as if her face is made of flower.
Lucian is Cardamom. Intelligent, inspiring, deep, strong.
My daughter would be uplift (sweet orange) for sure, since everyone feels cheery when she’s around
My daughter would definitely fit the description for Lemongrass. Inspired, and that she is. Daily, she is pulling out everything in our craft cabinet and always making something new. At 3, she is one of the most creative people I know.
My daughter definitely fits the description for Lemongrass. Inspired. At 3, she is one of the most creative people I know. Always making or trying something new.
My daughter is sooo the Uplifted Sweet Orange! She is a ball of energy, yet sweet as can be.
Lemongrass! He has been such an inspiration to our family. I can only hope that he will continue to be inspired by the world around him and inspire others
My baby is pretty mellow, so I’d say the lavender describers her pretty well.
The little girl I watch is certainly the sweet orange scent! She is full of energy and is so full of life!
Hah! Anything but florals! They make us sneeze.
I hope we can have pink and purple clay anyway!
I have a thing for that roller – a work of art with that beautiful grain.
Hmmm – Lost my post – trying again
I’d say my two boys would be Lemongrass (for those outdoorsy, roll in the grass, type of days) AND sweet orange (for their personalities, the ability to cuddle with me at any time, and their love of oranges).
If I win, I will keep the on the go packs for us and bring the big containers to work (with the social communication/PDD classroom of Kindergarteners and 1st graders). They will love these!!
Wow! What a fantastic giveaway from the wonderful MAMAk’s!!
If I had to choose just one for my daughter, it would have to be uplifting sweet orange… she brightens my world every day in ways I could not even count… and has helped me appreciate and understand (and be grateful) for life in general.
Thanks!
My daughter would have to be uplifted-sweet orange! She is the sunshine of our home! Bright, cheerful, enthusiastic. No one can stay down when she is around. And oranges are her favorite fruit.
Lavender suits my daughter, she loves to relax on the couch and snuggle!
My grandbabys love Mama K’s play clay It’s the best thing that ever happened to them I love it and so do the girls everyone that has bought it from me loved it and they want more…I had a chance to sell some for Christmas where I work and I could not keep up with the sells thanks to my beautiful daughter in-law we can all enjoy it Love you Kari (aka Mama K) Kisses and Huggs.
The chamomile describes my daughter perfectly. She is always so relaxed, sure of herself and in control.
