If you have young kids like me, they often want to help in the kitchen. I know Madison, my 5 year old, always wants to help me bake.  Now that we are heading into Christmas time and prime baking time, the Curious Chef’s 6 piece cookie kit is perfect for your little ones to help you.  The utensils in this kit are real.  They aren’t toys.  However, they are made to be much easier for your kids’ hands to hold and to use.  Best of all, they are dishwasher safe!  With them having their own utensils, your kids have a sense of ownership over their supplies and even the goodies they make.

I love when my old favorite games come with a new twist. The new Candy Land: Sweet Celebration Game definitely fits the bill for that.  My biggest complaint before was that sometimes a Candy Land game could take too long for Madison’s attention span.  However, this new Candy Land game solves that problem for me!  Instead of being a traditional board game, you and your kids get to make the board.  You can make it super long or shorten the game (which is what we’ve been doing).  We only have hardwood floors in my house, so we had no problem keeping the board together.  They also have 3D lands that they can land on like Ice Cream Harbor.  For us, it made the game a little more interactive.  The Sweet Celebration Game will remind you of your old stand by favorite but only better!

I am always a fan of anything covered in chocolate.  However, when you cover pretzels in chocolate, you know they are going to be good.  However, I’ve actually never tasted anything as good as Fretzels.  Bill, my hubby, actually wants me to order more!  That’s how much he loved them!

Fretzels by Jill are hand-dipped designer gourmet chocolate covered pretzels that are drenched in milk, dark, or white chocolate and adorned with a variety of candy toppings.  You can pretty much get whatever you want on your pretzel.  They even have specialty flavors like SugarPlum and Eggnog, and their latest Fretzels pretzel Bark – available in Espresso and Peppermint for the holidays. Each Fretzel is made with the perfect pretzel to chocolate and topping ratio, providing a multi-sensory taste experience with every bite.

Fretzels are a perfect stocking stuffer or gift for Christmas.  By far, these are some of the best pretzels I’ve ever eaten, and I can only highly recommend them!

One of my favorite card companies to use is Tiny Prints.  They have a great product at a good price.  They have so many design option for their Christmas cards that it floors me.  You can certainly find something here you like no matter what your style.  I, personally, love the photo cards (though I didn’t start using these kinds of cards until I had children).  I have been checking these out for my Christmas cards for several weeks now just trying to decide what I want.  Don’t want picture cards?  They have a great selection of just really great Christmas cards.  Their design styles include: Contemporary, Classic, Vintage, Portrait, and Whimsy. There really is something for everyone.  They can get them shipped to you in whatever time frame you need too, and you can customize them however you like.  If you are still needing Christmas cards this year (and most of us are), definitely check out Tiny Prints!
