Gilt Presents: Paddington the movie

My kids L-O-V-E going to the movies.  We love it even more when we get to see a film before it hits theaters. Insert my recent invite from the lovely folks at Gilt to see the upcoming Paddington movie at the uber chic Crosby Street Hotel. (love that place, if you ever go, try their Burrata and Short Rib pasta, so good) They of course had no idea who Paddington was but I was excited to connect with one of my favorite from 'my' childhood.

I have seen a lot of children's films, more than I care to count but this movie was really, really good. All the wee ones gave their seal of approval. We laughed throughout the entire film. Mark your calendars for January 16th and go see Paddington.

You can even own a piece of cinematic history with Gilt’s exclusive sale of authentic props from the film.  Right now you can discover one-of-a-kind props seen on-screen, as Paddington travels on an London adventure ending up with the Brown Family.  

Gilt members will also have the opportunity to buy signed books and posters by members of the cast, as well as official licensed memorabilia, toys, artwork and more for the whole family.  

All proceeds from the sale of the props will benefit The Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness's "Be Homeful" campaign, which strives to put an end to homelessness before it begins. I must inform that the prices are steep but just know its for a good cause.

Additionally, the sale will also feature a collection of children's clothing and accessories from Gilt inspired by the film, from cozy sweaters to rain-gear, wellies and more. Here is the link to the sale and happy holidays to your and yours: www.gilt.com/Paddington
