I love running toy giveaways. I know some little boy or girl will be getting an awesome present with this giveaway. Granted, you can’t get a security system with this, but instead, you will get some really awesome toys!
The winner is Rebecca! I will be contacting her shortly! Congrats, and I think Christmas morning at her house will be nice!
I personally believe books always make great gifts. We have installed into our children how important reading is, and you can tell. Both my one year old and my four year old can often be seen flipping through books without Bill or me even around. This is why I l love companies like GiftLit who make it easier to give books as gifts to both children and adults alike.
GiftLit has an advisory board of librarians, educators, authors, and industry experts that select the books that are sent out, so you know these are great books. They have books for every age too! They have books for toddlers on up. They way this works is you pick with selection of books you want. If you are looking at the kids books, you can choose which age group you want. For adults, you can pick anything from fiction to mysteries to history. You can also choose how long you want your gift subscription to last. You can buy them in 3, 6, or 12 month increment. The best part of this is that this is the gift that keeps on giving. Instead of the one present you get Christmas morning, you can potentially have a gift every month of the year.
We have this come to our house, and we love it. The books are great quality books that I would have never thought to check out. Also, what kid doesn’t like to get mail for them? Actually, what adult doesn’t like getting a present in the mail each month? This is truly the gift that keeps on giving, and I am deciding which book lover in my family is getting this. If you’d like to get this for yourself or as a present, just make sure you use the code LISA1130, so you can get 10% off your order!

If you know any pregnant mommies this Christmas, you need to get them a Cuskiboo. This is the softest lovie ever. It also is suckable and also has a tag for the baby to play with. It is made from special bamboo yarn. It is also ultra absorbent, antibacterial, eco friendly, biodegradable, and easily packed for travel. What more could you ask for?
Now, mommy and daddy should sleep with this first, so it can get your scents. Then, you can give it the baby to enjoy. The part I love the best is that this is machine washable, and anyone who has had newborns knows how important that is. Now, you can buy these singly or in a duo pack. I would recommend the duo pack myself. That way, if one is in the wash, there still is the other one available. Mommy can also use the baby’s smell on this to help her breastfeed.
I know a pregnany mommy that I will definitely be getting one of these for. I think it is an awesome idea, and I personally love that it is so environmentally friendly. Also, since we travel so much, I love that it is small enough to fit inside your diaper bag quite easily. Christmas, baby shower, baby birth . . . this makes a great present for all three!
I never thought Braincandy would infiltrate my household like it has. My 4 year old and my 1 year old are absolutely in love with the Hear My World DVD from Braincandy. My daughter (the 4 year old) has begged me to buy the rest of the series. That is how much she enjoys this movie.
Now this DVD does not go by Hear My World in this house. Instead, it is referred to as the ear movie (can you figure out why?). The movie is all about the sounds you hear. There is a lot of singing and they have short little skits. My kids love it. The skits are just long enough to hold their attention. Every time the singing starts, Will (my 1 year old) starts dancing. It is both cute and funny at the same time.
The great part of these movies is that they are both learning and not realizing it. Braincandy has won 35 awards and industry endorsements, so they must be doing something right! I know that Madison goes around singing their theme song “Braincandy” that plays at the beginning of the video. I know Santa will be bringing some of these videos come Christmas time at my house. If you need an awesome present, definitely look into getting some of these DVDs.
