Stomp Rocket

Gather your kids because these toys will be ones that all the kids will be fighting over! There are a ton of different Stomp Rocket toys out there, but I have found two that perfect gifts for both the big and the little kids. The Jr. Glow Rocket is perfect for your younger children 3+ that want to join in on the fun with their big brothers and sisters. While the 3 Stunt Planes Stomp Rocket is perfect for the bigger kids. Both of these packages come with multiple rockets so the kids will be able to each have a turn before having to go retrieve their rockets. Why not get them a gift that can be used later in the year. This will allow them to have a new toy on hand when the weather gets nice and they want to run around in the warm sunlight.

 

My Buddy Towel

Getting kids a variety of different items for Christmas is always fun and one thing I do like to add into the bunch is clothes, but getting clothes isn’t always fun; so why not have a little fun by getting your kids the My Buddy Towel? This towel is made to look like a cute character and can be put on like a pair of pajamas with a zipper. This means it is that much easier to dry your little one and wrangle that squirmy child after their bath or shower. It also means that you will have less naked children running around the house after bath time. The fun characters help make children want to put on their towel after bath time as they can get in a little pretend play. This is a game changer for us because my son doesn’t understand how to walk around with a towel wrapped around him, instead I can zip him in and let him run around for a minute drying off before I get him into his diaper and dry clothes.

Modarri The Ultimate Toy Car Kit

If you have a kid that loves to tinker and loves cars then you will want to consider getting them the Modarri Ultimate Toy Car Kit. This toy is a fun kit that will be allowing your child to build their own cars. They can even take them apart and rebuild them without a fear of breaking their toy. The best part as an adult is the fact that these toys have a Lifetime guarantee which means if any piece breaks Modarri will replace it at no cost to you! This really means that as long as the pieces don’t go missing you will have a toy that could last a lifetime. You child will flourish and blossom with this toy that helps to promote creativity and allows kids to be innovative.

JP Doodles Trucker Hat

Kids love getting toys, but don’t let them fool you. They often love getting accessories as well. Clothes may not be very exciting, but why not get them a fun JP Doodles Trucker Hat for the holidays? It may not be practical for the winter months, but it will be a great item for the warmer months coming next year. JP Doodles has a wide variety of hats for boys, girls, little kids, big kids, and adults. You can select the best theme and color for each child you are shopping for. We went with their dinosaur ROARR hat because Raiden is currently obsessed with dinosaurs so it makes a great gift. It will also hopefully help him to be more interested in wearing a hat next summer!

The Christmas That Almost Never Was

I love buying at least one new Christmas book each year and sometimes it gets tough finding the perfect one for each year. This year our new book is The Christmas That Almost Never Was and it will be wrapped and placed under the tree to be opened on Christmas Eve as is our family tradition. I love being able to share all of these amazing traditions and stories with my son each year. So if you are looking for a great new Christmas book for your family then this one might be the one for you.

 

 

T. Rex Generations

My son is obsessed with dinosaurs which is why I am giving my son this T. Rex Generations book even though this book is a little above what a toddler would normally read I still plan on slowly reading this to my son. It is written in a graphic novel styled book that appeals to many kids big and small. This book starts 66 million years ago and moves forward in time as it talks about the lives of T. Rex starting from birth. If you have a dinosaur lover in your family then you might want to consider this as a great educational gift for your kid this year.

 

Adventures in Petlandia

If you have both pets and kids in your home then you might want to consider getting a copy or two of the Adventures in Petlandia book for your family. This book is personalized to have the pet look like your pet and have the same name so that your children can read all about your pets adventures in Petlandia. This is a super cute book that when it is personalized makes for a great addition to any family library. I can almost guarantee that your children will love reading about their pets.

 

Gus’ Fortunate Misfortune

The book Gus’ Fortunate Misfortune is the perfect cute story for a child who is young and is still learning the ins and outs of life. This book shows children how to turn a very bad day into a new beginning with compassion, patience, and kindness. The author thought that this would be a great child-friendly introduction to some Buddhist teachings to help emphasize compassion, patience, kindness, and consideration for others. So, if you are working on any of these concepts with your children I would consider getting them this book for the holidays this year.

The Love of a Bingle Lancer

If you are looking for a book for your little princess or your child with an adventurous soul then I would look into The Love of a Bingle Lancer as a great book option for your child. This beautiful poetic story has a timeless mix of poems blended together with painted illustrations that you’ll never forget. This story will keep any reader captivated for hours on end as we visit the lands ruled by King Bandini and the far off kingdom of Fettuccine. Love conquers all for Prince Bandini: many a King is good at sitting and forbidding, and many a Prince is good at prancing and romancing, but when it comes to Spanish Fancy Dancing, there’s no one like Hoochie Coochie Smoocherini!

Holiday Gift Guide for Stocking Stuffers 2018 Edition

Buying Stocking Stuffers for everyone can often feel mundane and you end up in a routine of candy, socks, and deodorant (at least those are my go to last minute Stocking Stuffers), but it doesn’t have to be that way. You can change it up and really surprise everyone with something new and unique to each person. So keep reading and find out what some of my current Stocking Stuffer ideas.

Mood Factory Mood Sticks

The Mood Factory Mood Sticks are the perfect stocking stuffer gift for many people in your life. These sticks are easily rubbed on and can help ease pain and stress from your body. I love finding new, natural ways too treat mood swings and help out on those hard days. I have been using these sticks for a month now and can honestly say that they really do help to boost my mood and energy levels. These will make for great stocking stuffers for everyone in your home (well, maybe not the babies, but everyone else). If you are looking to shop for small business Saturday then this is a great way to do it. The company is even woman owned.

Buoy Tags

Buoy Tags are the perfect small gift for families that have multiple iPhones and other Apple devices in their home. Take your Buoy Tag and customize it so that everyone will be able to know whose charging cable and what cable it is for. This means you can put you initials on it or have it say iPhone or iPad on the tag so that it is easily identifiable. These are also great for travelers who are afraid of getting their cords lost or mixed up with someone else’s cords. You can find Buoy Tags online for purchase.

Everyday Skin Repair CBD & Honey

The Everyday Skin Repair stick is the perfect Stocking Stuffer for someone that battles with sensitive skin, eczema, and chronic dry skin. The stick helps to nourish and relieve itchiness, and dry patches of skin with ease. It is easy to slip into a purse or pocket to carry around. They roll on with ease and are easy to roll up when you need more product. I like how large the stick is because it makes it easier to roll on over larger patches of skin. You can find these sticks on CBD & Honey’s website.

Ache & Pain Relief CBD & Honey

This product goes side by side with the previous one so you might as well snag both for your family. This stick is especially wonderful for people with arthritis or neurological topical pain. For instance this stick helps to relieve aches and pains that come with the pins & needles pain that is associated with my neurological condition. I am fond of rubbing it onto my hands and feet to regain some normalcy when it isn’t around. This has helped me to have use of my full hand instead of having fingers that are useless. It would make a great gift for anyone that you know suffers from aches and pains. You can also find this product at the CBD & Honey website.

Bliss Ball Bath Bomb

This is the third product from CBD & Honey that is a great product for your loved ones. You don’t have to be a woman to enjoy a nice warm bath. Why not get the Bliss Ball Bath Bomb so that everyone can have a peaceful and relaxing bath that will leave them ache free and less stressed out. (Something that most everyone needs after a long stressful holiday.) You can also find this product at the CBD & Honey website.

JavaSok

Even the coffee lover needs a little something special in their Holiday Stocking! That is why the JavaSok makes the perfect addition to your holiday stockings this year. The JavaSok is perfect for the Iced Coffee lovers in your life. They will no longer need to worry about their cups sweating and getting everything wet because these socks for their cups will keep their hands, table, and cup holders dry no matter what the weather is like.

Holiday Gift Guide for Women 2018 Edition

The Whine Down Time Book

The Whine Down Time Book (And Bag) is a must for any hot mess mom like myself. The book is humorous and a fun read for any mom while the matching bag is a nice touch for any mom who loves to unwind with a little wine. The bag is insulated and perfect for carrying one bottle of wine. So if you are planning a girls night this bag would be the perfect addition to a girls night. You can find this set on their website or on Amazon so if you need a last minute gift don’t be worried because you can get 2 day shipping at Amazon.

 

GoodJanes Kiss My Lash Mirror & Stand

Whether you are a make-up goddess or you just enjoy putting a little on you will want to consider the GoodJanes Kids My Lash Mirror and Stand as a gift this holiday season. This mirror is the best on the market for applying false eye lashes and is also a great mirror to use when applying eye liner and eye shadow as it gives you a close up clear view of the task at hand and if you are like me then something like this is absolutely necessary! This holiday season they have a special bundle offer that you won’t want to miss!

 

Boutique Backpack

Most women love bags so why not get her a stylist backpack that she can use on a regular basis? The Boutique Backpack is a great option as a versatile bag. I love to use my bag when I am on the go. It works as a great mom bag, diaper bag, or just a cute bag when I am going out with the girls. The bag comes in Olive, Black, Caramel, and Merlot all of which can be personalized to make the one special and unique gift you could give her this year.

Holiday Gift Guide for the Hostess 2018 Edition

Bringing the Hostess a gift during the holidays might be an old tradition, but it’s not one that I am ready to get rid of. Instead it is one that lets me get creative and buy the perfect gift for the Hostess.

GelPro Elite Kitchen Mat

A kitchen mat might seem like an odd choice until you realize that the GelPro Elite Kitchen Mat is more than just a mat. It is made with memory foam so that when you are busy cooking away in the kitchen you can be standing on something that will be providing you with comfort instead of causing discomfort and agony from standing on a hard floor. When you purchase a GelPro Elite Kitchen Mat you can choose something that fits your Hostesses decor and tastes. This means that you can choose a color or a fun pattern that will feel personal and make anyone happy to receive the gift.

Runamok Maple Syrup

I love gift sets as Hostess gifts because you are able to give a variety of different items while also making it feel personal. If you know that your Hostess is a breakfast lover then you might just want to consider this Gift Box of 3 Bottles of Barrel-Aged Runamok Maple Syrup. These flavor infused maple syrups are a great gift for those who love to experiment with their breakfast foods. I can tell you that they are delicious on pancakes and waffles! I am a breakfast lover and I will eat pancakes and waffles for days and one thing that is a must is a high-quality maple syrup. Runamok infused maple syrup is definitely top on my list for tasty additions to your breakfast table.

 

The Little Red Kitchen Bake Shop

Bringing desert to a party as a gift might seem odd, but it is often a very thoughtful gift that can help lessen the stress on the Hostess. The Little Red Kitchen Bake Shop offers a great variety of different items that can be a crowd pleaser. The Elvis Cookie Pie is a great option for someone who is Vegan or for someone who just likes to try new deserts. This Cookie Pie is delicious with a crunchy outside and a soft-gooey center that pleases all of your senses. This is s cookie for anyone who is an Elvis fan and loves peanut butter, banana, and chocolate chips. (That all screams YUMMY to me!)  If this isn’t your cup of tea then you might want to consider their Signature Cookie Gift Box where you can choose from Signature Chocolate, S’mores, Lemon Sugar and Amaretti cookies.
