Holiday Guide 2014

When you’re looking for something special to give someone to let them know really put some thought into the gift you’re giving, personalized gifts are a good direction to go.  Personalized gifts can be more than just mugs or photos.  It can really help make a house feel more like home.

Giftsforyounow.com has lots of beautiful personalized gift ideas.  One of the categories I really liked on their site is the word art section.  You can create pillows, clothing, and more with a theme you like.  Maybe to show support for someone, maybe to create something family oriented.  I loved the word art pillows.  Particularly, the welcome home word art pillow.

You can pick from different color schemes for the word colors on the pillow.  You even have the option to add in your own words to the word cloud.  I’ll admit I didn’t add any in, I used the preset words.  I really liked the preset words of: Memories, Laugh, Tradition, Together, Love, Family.  I think this reminds me of my family.  We have a lot of traditions, especially for the holidays but really all year.  We’ve had people make comments to us like “your family really has a lot of traditions”.  I think we’ve done it for so long we don’t really think about how many we have.    The color scheme I chose went well with my living room.  The brown couch, with the burgundy accents. The pop of white makes the pillow stand out on my couch.

The cover is removable so it can be washed.  The pillow itself is soft while the cover is a canvas type fabric.  Wouldn’t this pillow be lovely to add to a family gift basket or give with a blanket?  They also have personalized cutting boards, welcome mats, Christmas decor, and lots more . Check out my review on some of their personalized Christmas decor from giftsforyounow.com.

Personalized Holiday Decor from GiftsforYouNow.com

Holiday Guide 2014

If our Christmas tree has a theme, it would be memories.  That’s the best way to describe it.  Most of our ornaments are things like “baby’s 1st Christmas”, family ornaments, “our first Christmas together”, you know things like that.  Each of my kids got an ornament for their first Christmas some got a few.  I’d buy one then my dad would buy one and maybe my MIL.  I love looking through our tree and having the ornaments bring back memories.  The one thing that was glaringly obvious to me was that we didn’t have a family ornament with our daughter (who was born last year) on it yet .  It’s hard finding personalized family ornaments for a family of 6. It seems most are for families of 4 or 5.  Giftsforyounow.com had a couple choices for me.  I found this cute ornament “personalized white mantel ornament

gifts for you now ornament

 

This is a well made ceramic ornament.  They did the personalization and had it to me in about a week. You can get it personalized the way you want it.  FYI I also like that glitter aspect of it.  I try to squeeze glitter in wherever I can!

The next thing I realized when I was putting stockings up is that each kid had a fancy stocking with their name on it, except for my daughter.  She kinda just had a red stocking we probably got along with a gift or from an event. I wanted something Christmasy and girlier for her.  I found this cute personalized stocking on Giftsforyounow.com

I love it. It’s super soft, thick, and the bow gives it that girly touch I was looking for. They have so many cute stockings to choose from.  Stockings with camo print, Christmas scenes, different colors, and they can all be personalized if you like.  There are lots of gift ideas and holiday decor on giftsforyounow.com that can be personalized for you or your recipient.  Tree skirts, welcome mats, entertaining products, and more. Check out my review of one of their personalized gifts too!

For a very limited time, Educents has Magic School Bus Science Kits 50% Off a 12 month subscription.  This is about the best deal I’ve seen for this.  If you’re intersted, it’s only available for the next 8 days on Educents.

Educents is a daily deal site for homeschool materials, educational toys, teacher supplies, and more.

I really like Educents.  I’m neither a teacher or a homeschooler but they offer some great freebies from time to time to help me, as a parent, carry over teaching for my kids in a fun way.  Like right now, there is a free “color by code” holiday sheet printable. It will be there for a short while then something else will be available.

Christmas Display Not What You Want It To Be? Check Out LEDgen Lighting

I received the below mentioned product in order to complete an honest review.  Any opinions expressed are my own.  

Every year when I set up my Christmas lights I think, I’d like more.  The other aspect is that I’ve been wanting to look into one of those timers.  You know the timers that turn your lights on and shut them off at the same time every day so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to turn them off before you go to bed or forget to turn them on at all.

If you’ve been thinking about that too LEDgenlighting.com has lots of options for you.  Lights, replacement bulbs, display, light up wreaths, timers, plug receptacles, just about anything you need for lighting check them out.

I got a strand of lights to add to my outdoor lights.  I also got some white electrical tape to help secure some of the lights around the windows inside and the timer I was telling you about.

Blog 001

I was a little nervous about the timer.  I never used a timer before.  I fully expected it to be complicated and I really hate to ask my husband for help on stuff like that.  I’m just stubborn, that’s all.  So I get the device and you can plug two plugs into it.  There is a dial and a bunch of gray tabs going around it.  I’m reading the directions and i think, “this doesn’t sound too complicated” We shall see I suppose.

Blog 002

 

The electrical tape I got was really reasonable too. They had it in a bunch of different colors.  I got white electrical tape hoping it would blend in better on my window seals to use with my lights.  I used it when I put my son’s battery operated lights up in his window.  You can barely see it right?

Blog 003

 

They have a lot of cool lighting supplies on their site.  I love the LED snowflakes and the LED trees are cool too. What would you add to your light display from ledgenlighting.com?

Holiday Gift Ideas for Everyone from Best Buy #HintingSeason

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free

We are definitely love our electronics here.  Half my kids’ Christmas lists are made up of things like a tablet, headphones, Xbox games, …well you get the idea.  We’ve all been wanting an Xbox One for some time. We were waiting until our 360 kicked the bucket before we replaced it.  Best Buy has all gifts that your family will just love. Even your hard to buy for teenager.

I mentioned my family wanting the Xbox One.  We’ve been holding off but it was so tempting this year.  There are so many awesome games out for the Xbox One this year. My dad tends to go over board on our gifts.  When he was asking for gift ideas for my family of 6, I gave him the idea of maybe instead of buying us each gifts we’d be happy with a family gift.  He loves to buy electronics.  Case and point he surprised me with a Dyson Animal for my birthday . I told him he could buy the Xbox One as a family gift for less than what he usually spends on the whole family. Whether he will or not, I don’t know . I think he spends way too much on us as it is.

One reason I like buying my electronics and tech gifts from Best Buy is the option to get their Geek Squad service on many of the products they sell.

Best Buy Xbox One

 

Xbox One was built by gamers, for gamers. With the best exclusive titles (Halo, Sunset Overdrive), the biggest blockbusters (Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty) the hottest sports franchises (Madden 15, FIFA 15, NBA 2K15) and top family titles (Fantasia: Music Evolved, Just Dance 15, Skylanders) Xbox One takes gaming to a whole new level.

In addition to being a great gaming console, Xbox one connects consumers unlike any other device.  Xbox One enables access to the latest TV shows and movies through your favorite apps.  With Xbox One all of your media is at your fingertips when you want it.

Of course, not all people are into video games like we are.  Some may like their music more.  Music to workout to, Music for cleaning (right here this girl), music to share with friends.  That’s why the JBL speakers would make a great gift for anyone who love listening to music.  You’ll get a quality speaker with awesome sound.

Best Buy JBL speakers

 

There are 3 different kinds of JBL speakers:

JBL Charge 2– Between the twin passive radiators for deep bass, the massive 6000mAh battery and the hands-free conference speakerphone the key benefit is the Bluetooth Social Mode which allows up to three different users to take their turns to play their own playlists on a single speaker.

JBL Flip 2– Aside from the dual performance-tuned JBL drivers and a built-in bass port, the key benefit of the JBL Flip 2 is the SoundClear echo and noise cancellation combined with the state-of the art microphone system to pick up calls on the speaker.

JBL Reflect Earbud headphones–  Sweat proof ergonomic design.  With a 5 hour rechargeable battery and a reach of about 40 feet, the JBL Reflect BT’s key benefit is the design of the ergonomic eartips along with the built-in magnets which keep your buds on standby without loose cables.

How about for the one who travels for business or for pleasure. Or for the mom that has to find schools, gyms, and other sports venues for their kids (again this girl here).  One gift on my list last year was a  GPS.  I asked for a GPS last Christmas and I did  actually get on. I was thrilled.  It takes a lot of stress off me when I have to drive to a town I’m not familiar with to attend one of my son’s wrestling meets or find  a soccer field. I know TomTom and Garmin are always hot names in the GPS section.
