Our Handmade Gifts for Christmas

 


I was so excited when I received this amazing and totally personal handmade pendant in the mail the other day!

I would love to be more crafty but I just don't have the time or the ideas to make handmade gifts for people.  

 

When I had the chance to review Our Handmade Gifts custom pendant service, I knew right away what I would put on a custom pendant.  Amber draws such wonderful characters in her sketch books all the time, and I was so excited to put one of those on a piece of jewelry for her.  (I handmade items!)

Norman PhartEphant from Fierce Fun Toys

Meet Norman PhartEphant. He is what you might call a little "gassy machine".  If you give his tail a squeeze, you will hear some "pharting" sounds (and maybe an apology or two!), but thankfully the stink has not quite made it to this toy!

Made by Firece Fun Toys, whose mission is to promote laughter, staying involved in helping others and maintaining the highest quality standards for their products, Norman PhartEphant is sure to get a smile out of the crowd.  And it wouldn't surprise me at all if you know one particular person who would fall in love with this toy.

Holiday Shopping at T.J. Maxx and a Marshalls Giveaway

 

I love bargain shopping, it's like a game to me, the best deals are like a huge rush of adrenaline.

 

 

One of the "must stop shops" when we go to the Mall of America is Marshalls. I KNOW that I will walk out of there with at least one bag (often two, three or more...). The same great stuff you can get everywhere else is available at often half the price. I can always find the elusive purchase there also, like the silicone roux whisk that I picked up for $7.99 which was $20.00 at all the places I could find it in.

Review/Giveaway: Cheap Cookie Cutters

 If you've been reading my blog for a while you know that we're passionate about Disney in our home. And if you are newer to my blog, or if this is the first time you're visiting, the Disney category just below the featured section should give it away!

A few months ago I had a "What Will You Celebrate?" party and I tried making Mickey Mouse shaped brownies which I was compeletely unsuccessful at.

I was sent a mini Mickey Mouse cookie cutter from http://www.cheapcookiecutters.com/ to review, and yes I'll admit, it made me a bit giddy!

Healthy Hands Musical Hand Wash Timer Giveaway

While it seems as if the H1N1 virus is now becoming a background topic rather than the forefront of the news, there is always the seasonal flu to be concerned about, and germs from the common cold and other viruses too.
With the holiday gathering hugging, kissing and cheek pinching that will be happening, it's important to make sure that we help our children understand proper hand washing techniques in order to keep the germs at bay as much as we can.

Well I'm always a sucker for any product that is branded with a Disney character but the Disney Musical Hand Wash Timer by Healthy Hands has its own merit, the Disney branding is just an added bonus!

Hickory Farms

Hickory Farms has great gift basket ideas. I have often had to buy a gift, not having a clue as to what the person wants or needs. Have you ever had that experience? Yeah, I thought so. During the holiday season we often have to buy gifts for teachers, co-workers, business colleagues, and really know nothing about what they would like or their hobbies. But what better way to show your appreciation for what they have done through the year, than by giving them a consumable gift from Hickory Farms.

Trident Layers

If you have kids or grown ups in your home that are gum chewers here's a cool product to toss in their stockings this year!

 

I enjoy chewing gum, but generally choose the minty types of flavors, and so was curious as to whether I would like the new Trident Layers. It comes in two flavors, Wild Strawberry/Tangy Citrus and Green Apple/Golden Pineapple.

Rothschild Kids Outerwear Review & Coupon Code

This year has been an exception to the rule - the thermometer has stayed above 32 degrees for November which is almost unheard of here in the Northern Plains (I'm not complaining by the way!). Most years we have already broken out the winter weather gear in early November, and the winter coats and jackets are usually for sale early in September. Of course most of you in the Midwest are nodding your heads along with me.

 

Since we migrated South from Canada, I know what cold is. Even here in South Dakota the winters aren't nearly as brutal as the winters that I grew up with. Whenever Amber complains about how cold it is she gets the "we walked to school uphill both ways in 2 feet of snow...." Well okay, not entirely true, and even it were, I had numerous Rothschild winter jackets growing up. Yes, it's true, the Rothschild brand has been around for that long, actually it's been around for over 125 years! So chances are, it's possible that even my Mom wore a Rothschild coat when she was younger!
