Some always good presents for the Christmas season has to be any of the Chicken Soup For The Soul books.  They are an awesome read for anyone, and I want to pass along some new ones you may not have seen yet.

Chicken Soup for the Soul 101 Best: Christmas Cheer is inspiration stories that help you keep everything in perspective (like you shouldn’t be checking out diet pill reviews already. Those few extra pounds you put on at Christmas does not make you a bad person.)  This book is part of the 101 Best Stories series.  Books in the 101 Best Stories series are some the editor’s most favorite tales and poems.

Chicken Soup for the Soul 101 Best: On Being a Parent is about doing the hardest job in the world that comes with no handbook. These are the best stories to appeal to both moms and dads.

For the men in your life, Chicken Soup for the Soul 101 Best: Tales of Golf and Sport would be the book for them. They are offered insight from both golf and sports enthusiasts for all sports in this book.

These books all offer many hours of enjoyment and fun.  You will laugh, you will cry, and you will enjoy what life has to offer.

We all have those men in our lives that we never know what to get them.  Remington has three new products this holiday season that would make great gifts for any men in the family – from teenage boys to grandpa.  These gifts start off at $19.99, so they are not only affordable, they also make great stocking stuffers too!  Bill, my wonderful husband, has been trying out some these new Remington products for me over the last couple of weeks.

The PG-350 is a 7-in-1 personal groomer. It has everything the men in your life could want. It has 10 adjustable settings for clipping sideburns, necks and a variety of hair lengths, as well as five adjustable settings for all styles of facial hair — goatees, soul patches, light two-day stubble, moustaches or beards of any length. It also comes with ear and a nose hair trimmer for that hair we prefer not to know about. It is rechargeable.
Best of all is the price: $19.99. We liked it here because it is a really good groomer set. It looks very high quality and works ten times better than the set he had before (which was nowhere near as big and costed me a lot more).  He found it super easy to trim his goatee, and he highly recommends it.

Another cool product Remington has this season is the ShortCut Clipper. This is the first ever clipper system that lets guys cut their own hair without having to worry about missing spots on the back of their heads or even messing up their hair. It is actually pretty cool, because you use it like you do a comb, and you are able to adjust it to five different lengths. (I had to giggle when I saw the balding comb attachment, but people do need that). Cleaning this is such a breeze too. You just rinse them off! The cost for this is $29.99.

Lastly, there is the Flex360 electric shaver. This has be my most favorite shaver out there. Bill has tried out several electric shavers in the past and none ever give him a close enough shave in my opinion. By five o’clock, he would have a noticeable five o’clock shadow. In his line of work, that really isn’t all too acceptable. However, with this razor, he does not have that problem! It also has a pop-up trimmer for precision grooming. The Flex360 also has worldwide voltage so men can easily use it wherever they travel.  We do a lot of traveling, and I have to admit, that this shaver makes me feel safer.  I always had to worry that the kids would get their hands on his razor and cut themselves.  With the kids now, I don’t have to worry about this.  There are four models that range in price from $34.99 to $74.99, so you can get the one that best serves your needs.

We have owned Remington in the past, and it is a good high quality brand.  Any man in your life would be happy to open up one of these Christmas morning!

How many times do your find yourself having a really bad day and would love something that would turn that around? How many times do you find yourself getting down on yourself?  A lot of how we feel has to do with our mindset and the Fl!p Your Thinking cards try to turn that around for you.  The cards are small and easily fit on your key chain.  They have affirming saying on them that help you to reverse your negative thinking.  For example, the very first card says “I am not ALONE” and on the back, it says “I am CONNECTED”.  After going through several of these cards, I personally feel more of an inner peace.  I love that is so easy to thrown in your purse, in your pocket, or even on your keychain.  I also love how a few cards can make you feel better about yourself, your day, and the world in general.  Each of these sets of flashcards also have 3 cards that you can but your own thoughts and statements on.  At $14.95, these make an excellent stocking stuff for just about anyone in your life.
