2014 Christmas Must Have List



Can you believe it's Christmas time again?!!? This year seems to have flown by! As you're getting ready for a big Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, and maybe even some Black Friday shopping here's a list of some really cool products I've had the opportunity to see and review this year.
I've picked my favorite 3 for each category,but there are so many awesome products to choose from there's a list of all of them at the bottom.

For Mom-
Let's face it, as moms we spend all year putting everyone first, and usually end up doing the same thing at Christmas.  Here are my top 3 favorites that I would love to get for Christmas if I didn't already have them:

Momma's Jewels:

I love wearing jewelry, but when you have a baby they grab at it, or even just holding the baby can sometimes pull at a necklace and break it (learned that the hard way a few times!) Momma's Jewels are sterling silver teething jewelry that looks classy for you to wear, but also safe for your baby to play with!  And it's strong enough to keep up with you and your baby!

Watch the above video and tell me this isn't the coolest thing ever! Finally a stylish and practical cover for breastfeeding moms!


Ok, let's face it, every woman wants chocolate!!  And even better when it's GOOD chocolate! Mrs.Cavanaugh's has been one of the best quality chocolates since 1964. You can order a box of their amazing chocolates at: http://www.mrscavanaughs.com/
PS- Mindy Mint is my favorite!!
and you REALLY should try their truffle bars- 

For the Family-

Mickey Mouse Popcorn Popper:
How cute is this?!? Ok, I'm a little bias about this being my favorite on this list because my entire kitchen theme is Mickey's Parts. So I fell in love as soon as I saw it! A cute little table top popcorn maker that makes 6-9 cups of popcorn.  You can get this awesome popcorn maker at Amazon.com.


With the holiday's comes family time and lots of get togethers, not to mention parties!  Spice up your party with the game Rollick! where groups act out clues for one or two people to guess.  A spin on classic Charades this game is sure to have your group laughing!


KeriCure is one of our favorites around this house.  It's basically a liquid bandage that stops the bleeding and protects cuts. It's great when you have kids!  We also use it on our dogs, and now they have a special pet strength one! It'd make a great stocking stuffer.  I keep one in my car and one in my purse.  To order go to: www.kericure.com


For Baby-





Your baby is sure to love these cute PullyPalz! So they hold teethers or binky's in each of their hands, as your baby pulls one side the other side lifts up, giving the back and forth action and entertainment.  This would be so perfect in a car for those trips when baby needs something to entertain them!


Your baby (and young kids, ok even you) will enjoy listening to the soundtrack cd's of your favorite Disney movies.  Each movie has multiple cd's in the set along with a small book with song lyrics for each song.  As with any movie soundtrack there is a lot of instrumental music along with the songs we all know the words to.  I'm listening to one right now in fact while I'm working :)



Although THANKFULLY I have never had to deal with this issue (knock on wood) I can appreciate the solution to a problem I've heard other parents complain about.  The NoPu prevents little ones from accessing their diaper to take it off or create messes.  It was designed with autistic and other special needs children in mind.  Sizes are from 18 months up to 6T.

$60 off 3 NoPus: B61PZ2R6YMB5
$120 off 5 NoPus: PG02FT8WE



For Kids





This is already a Christmas favorite at my house! It's a personalized book with a customized version of the Night Before Christmas story.  I got it personalized for my 2 year old Addie.  The book uses her name in the title and throughout the book as if she is the one looking out the window and having a conversation with Santa etc.  It also has our other kids' names throughout the book in the pictures such as on the stockings, on gifts, etc. and even our dog's name!  It's such a cute book! It'd make a absolutely adorable gift for your kids this year!


The more I flipped through this book the more excited I was to give it to my daughter.  It's a book about self discovery for girls.  My daughter is 13 and it seems right up her ally.  It talks about their talents, skills, things they like to do etc.  It also comes with a bag of beads and thread to make a bracelet. They add a bead for each section as they complete it.  The sections include: Uniquely Me, My Ancient Reptile Brain, Fixing Sinking Thinking, Ocean of Emotion, Your Body, TTYL- Talking,Texting & other Tools for Communicating, In Your Shoes, Yin, Yang & You, Black and White, Shoot for the Stars.


This tea set is perfect for some durable play time! Made of wood it has a cute chunky style that would be great for toddlers.  Plus, it's pink, it doesn't get much cuter than that!



Since I included a girls book in my top 3 I thought it only fair to add a boys book, so this catagory has a bonus favorite :)
Peas and Hambone versus Flesh-Eating Zombie Gorillas is a book geared for boys about the ages of 8-12 or at least that's the ages I could see being interested in it when I read it.  Peas is a 10 year old boy and Hambone is his talking dog (but he only talks when he's alone with Peas).  The two take on the adventure of facing flesh-eating zombie gorillas in this book.  It's silly, it's boyish, there's a talking dog, what more does a boy that age want to read about?
