Petmate Cat Grab Box Unboxing

This post does contain affiliate links. I will receive a small percentage from sales made through these links. Any opinion expressed is my own.

I’ve been sharing info on social media about the Petmate cat grab boxes and dog grab boxes for only $10 + s & h. It said each box had 10 items in it. So it breaks down to $1 an item plus shipping which was $5-$6 dollars. So still $16 for 10 pet items is good right? Well I decided to buy one just to see what was actually in one of these pet grab boxes. This is NOT a subscription, just a mystery box you can buy. And I did an unboxing video for you!

If you’re ready to try a Petmate pet grab box for yourself, here’s the links:

It was a nice size box that was full of cat items. The items were nice and my cat enjoyed them. I would definitely think about getting another one in the future.

Decorating to Host Thanksgiving on a Budget with Versatile Decor from Oriental Trading

I received the below mentioned products at no cost in order to complete this post. Any opinions expressed are my own.

I host Thanksgiving for a party of 20+ frequently. I’ve gotten the food, desserts, and seating down to a science. The one things I didn’t have down was the decor. Did I really want to spend extra time decorating for Thanksgiving when I’m making 4 pies from scratch? Would anyone really even notice the decorations anyway?

I’ve learned that the best way to get 20+ people their food is to have a buffet line so to speak. We finally found the best spot for it. For this buffet line I wanted something small that wouldn’t take up too much room (there’s a LOT of food)

I thought these were simple and cute and could be placed just about anywhere.

Since we do a buffet style I wanted to do something to dress the table up a bit. I do have this big ceramic turkey that I think my mother-in-law had given us that I used but it’s not real eye catching. I got these super cute fall gourds from Oriental Trading and had a bunch of ideas to use them! Oriental Trading has such fun Thanksgiving decor.

Which one did you like better? I ended up going with the cornucopia look and turkey sat on the counter that wasn’t being used.

I had also received these super cute crafts. They were pumpkins with a pocket and they each came with large paper pumpkin seeds. I had all the kids make one and they were supposed to write down the things they were thankful for on the seeds. Unfortunately, I didn’t think too far ahead. I was far too busy to help all the little ones that needed help to spell and write. Being the cook and hostess I tried but it didn’t go well because I kept getting pulled for other things. I tried to get my brother to help them but without enough help the kids lost interest and moved on. It’s a shame because they were really cute.

All in all Thanksgiving went well. Hey nothing is perfect right? Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Gift Idea for the Tea Drinker: Libre Tea Glasses

I love love love my coffee and love love love my loose leaf tea. Honestly when it comes to tea I have a hard time using tea bags anymore. Something about the beautiful scent, colors, and textures of the loose leaf tea that makes it so appealing. Libre Tea glasses are a convenient, easy-to-use, stylish way to take your loose leaf tea with you on the go. They’re also great for water infusion, protein shakes, and green tea as well.

I have a couple different size Libre tea glasses and use them frequently for so many of my healthy drinks. I take my tea with me to work and always get comments on my tea glass. I’ve had people ask me to show them how it works too.

When I found out Libre had green tea glasses they call MatchaGo, well I just had to try that one too!

Libre tea infusers are 100% BPA free. They have a glass interior and a durable Poly exterior to help prevent breakage. The removable tea filter allows you to brew and drew your loose leaf tea several different ways. I like that I can pour my hot water right into the glass, add my tea, and go if I want to. For my green teas I like to add a little raw honey as well.

The removable filter makes it easy to strain your tea or brew it right in the Libre tea infuser glass with the twist on cap. The nice design fits into cup holders or in your purse or backpack. With different sizes and colors, Libre tea infusers make the perfect gift for the healthy lifestyle or tea lover.

I received the below mentioned product at no cost in order to complete an honest review. Any opinions expressed are my own.

Looking for a gift for the kids who has everything? How about a different family gift that is fun, educational, and tasty? GLEE Make Your Own Candy Kits are an awesome idea.

Educational, comes with information about the candy, where the ingredients come from in a fun, easy to read way
Fun to do, fun for all ages

3 different kits to choose from, or get all 3!

We decided to give the Make Your Own Gummies Kit. In this one you learn about seaweed and how seaweed comes from, how it’s farmed, etc. My son had a friend over and I thought it would be a fun activity to do while he was here.

My 4 yr old, my 8 yr old, and his 9 yr old friend all participated. I let each of them take turns adding ingredients, stirring, and helping form the gummies.

After forming the gummies we had to let it refrigerate for a short while. Then roll it in the sour sugar if you like. We like sour stuff so we definitely did. The gummies were pretty tasty when they were done. They had a delicious smell too.

If gummy candies aren’t your thing, they also have Make your Own Chocolate kit and Make Your Own Gum kit. I can tell you I have tried all three kits some of them a couple times and my kids always enjoy them. These are great rainy day activities. After the fun of making them and learning about the candy they also get to taste the fruits of their labor. A rewarding kit all around. You can also by a package that has all 3 kits in it if you can’t decide!
