Day 10 - Thierry Mugler Angel #holidaygiftguide

So for my last day of this amazing holiday gift guide, I want to share with you one of my favorite scents this year. Its Angel by Thierry Mugler. It has an amazing smell that lingers hours after you've put it on. It has a mix of vanilla, cedar, bergamot, patchouli, white musk, candied praline & peppery pink berries. Its sensual and addictive. It comes in an exquisite glass comet bottle that is unique to all.

Day 9 - Zoobles Spring to Life Nintendo DS game #holidaygiftguide CLOSED

Video games are always a great hit for the kids. This year Activision held a Girls Summit indicating that girls are not represented enough in the video game genre. It was pretty eye opening but not surprising to hear that the boys are dominating in the market. So Activision put out a slew of games that are geared for the girls. As you saw on day 1, I had Lalaloopsy which is high demand this holiday season. Now I have the Zoobles.
The Zoobles are adorable, quirky, and mischievous little animal-like creatures that are waiting to pop open and surprise you just when you least expect it. Hundreds of adorable Zoobles reside on the distant, mysterious Isle of Zooble, which consists of three primary lands, namely Azoozia, Petagonia, and Seagonia. Zoobles possess the ability to magically morph into tiny balls – concealing themselves from others, rolling into beautiful destinations, or sleeping after a long day of work. They are on the hot collectible toy lists for this Christmas.
One lucky reader will win the Zoobles Spring to Life DS game & Runther from Chillville collection

Day 7 - Tutu Goes Green book giveaway #holidaygiftguide CLOSED

At the book expo this year, I met Tulani Thomas. She introduced me to her 1st book Tutu Goes Green. Tutu is a little girl that is on a quest of creating a better world for all. In the story, she teaches us on how we can reduce, recycle and reuse. I reviewed the book in a previous post that you can read here.
I have added this to my holiday gift guide because I believe books are a great holiday gift amidst all the toys & video games. I am all about supporting a local mom as well. This book should be on all our book shelves as we try to teach our future generation how to save our earth. My son continuously goes back to read this book and he has become more conscious about recycling and its concept.
I hope you will consider sharing this story with your loved ones this holiday or suggest it to your chld's school to be added to their library. The kids will love it & you can have fun learning together as you go green.  The book can be purchased at Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
One lucky reader will win an autographed copy of Tutu Goes Green!

Day 6 - Isotoner Smart Touch gloves #holidaygiftguide

I think everyone owns something that is touch screen, either it be your smartphone, Ipad or GPS devices. With winter slowly creeping up, it can get too cold to take your gloves off to make that phone call. One of my discoveries are the new Isotoner Smart Touch gloves. These make it convenient to keep your hands warm while navigating on a touch screen. Here are some facts:
  • The thumb and index finger are embroidered with conductive thread that conveys an electrical impulse to the touchscreen. This unique patent pending construction gives these gloves exceptional performance, allowing for pinpoint accuracy.
  • Signature stretch materials provide superior fit and flexibility
  • The non-slip palm improves grip
  • Water repellent
We love these gloves & think they would make a great holiday gift for anyone that is a constant on their touch screen devices.  I've already bought a couple of pairs to give as presents. They are available at many retailers even Amazon online.

Day 5 - Chuck E.Cheese Gift Cards #holidaygiftguide CLOSED

For Day 4 of our holiday gift guide, I have to talk about one of the boyz favorite places to go to play arcade games, eat & just have fun. It's Chuck E. Cheese. Now with holiday break coming up, its the perfect time to pay a visit there. Chuck E. Cheese gift cards are a great stocking stuffer for anyone that needs a place to cure the boredom blues.
Chuck E. Cheese gift cards are ideal. While you're out holiday shopping, they can be purchased at your nearest location or local CVS, Walgreens and Target stores. There are no expiration dates or service/reactivation fees. They can be loaded for any dollar amount. Chuck E. Cheese currently has a  promotion going on. You get free 20 tokens for every $25 dollar gift card purchase.
Chuck E. Cheese has generously offered one lucky reader a gift card that is redeemable for one large pizza, 4 drinks and 30 tokens! What a great way to kick off your holiday!

Day 4 - Country Dance 2 for the Wii #holidaygiftguide

My son & I love dancing games. We have a few for the Wii and Santa will be bringing him some more. We just have a great time bonding, laughing & having fun. We recently were able to try the new Country Dance 2. I have to admit that we're not country music fans around here, but I wanted to introduce some different music to my son so this seemed the best.
We loved it! Country Dance 2 has all of country's superstars such as Blake Shelton, American Idol's Carrie Underwood, and Lady Antebellum to name a few. The game was easy to follow and very entertaining. My son had a blast and he really enjoyed the music. He now thinks he's a cowboy!
This would make a great holiday gift for anyone that loves music & dancing. You don't have to be a country music fan to shake your hips. All you have to do is dance!

Country Dance 2 for Wii is rated E10+ by the ESRB and is available in stores. For more information about Country Dance 2™ or the Country Dance™ franchise, please visit: www.game-mill.com.

Disclosure: I received Country Dance 2 for the Wii in exchange for an honest opinion. I was not compensated any other way. All opinions expressed are my own.
