Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts for Teens

November 8, 2018 by Kelly Dedeaux

My girls are almost teenagers, and along with all the ‘joys’ of this age comes the tendency to be even pickier when it comes to gifts. Teenagers can be super hard to shop for, and they’re not always clear on telling you exactly what they want, either. Luckily, there’s some things that most teens would be thrilled to receive, so here’s several ideas in our newest Holiday Gift Guide full of great Gifts for Teens to help you out!

Some of these are more for girls than boys, and vice-versa, but a lot are interchangeable just based on your own child’s personality and interests. A few can be totally customized, too – such as a bedroom makeover! Let them pick the paint and decor, the style – seriously, it’s hard to go too wrong with that one 🙂

Photo Pearls

Transform your photos into unique works of art with Photo Pearls! It’s super easy – all you have to do is upload your favorite photo to the easy-to-use Photo Pearls app to “pearlize” your photo. Then start assembling your piece of art with the key provided, and watch your picture emerge right before your eyes! A wonderful alternative to puzzles, Photo Pearls is a great stress reliever that will leave you with a show-stopping piece of art. For ages 7 and up.

Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts for Boys

November 6, 2018 by Kelly Dedeaux

I have all sisters, so when I ended up with THREE little boys of my own, it was like a whole new world – I never thought I’d know so much about LEGO, Minecraft or cars! I will admit, it does make holiday shopping even more fun, though, because there’s such a great assortment of things they’d be thrilled to find under the tree. To help my fellow boy moms out there find some great ideas, here’s this year’s first Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts for Boys!

There really is a remarkable variety out there of things to consider for your boys’ holiday gifts, but here’s some that we think are among the top – and either are things my boys already enjoy from previous gifts, or are things on their wish lists this year. From superheroes to Pokemon, comic books to Banshees, there’s a little something for anyone!

Gifts for Boys Who Love Cars & Racing

Modarri’s Delux Street Track Set

Create a one-of-a-kind racecourse with this amazing toy race track that’s made of soft, durable foam. With curved tracks, orange racing cones and – the best part – interchangeable car parts – this build-it-yourself kit is perfect to let kids get down on the floor for some creative fun! The award-winning Modarri race cars are some of my kids’ favorite cars, and this set comes with 20 pieces of quality EVA foam track, 11 pieces of racing accessories, 3 soft racing tire stacks and 13 interchangeable Modarri car parts. Imagine the possibilities! Buy it on their site or on Amazon.

Okay, I admit that I’d want one of these adorable Pokemon, too!

Gifts for Boys Who Love Building

Carefully line up the dominos to watch the volcano erupt! Add in your Dino friends to create even more cool chain reaction stunts! It’s fun that won’t go extinct, perfect for ages 4 and up.

Laser Pegs Playsets

Not only is it fun for them to build, but the lights add a whole new level of fun!

Magna-Tiles Building Sets

We have TONS of these, yet they always find ways to use them all to create worlds, buildings & creatures – then want more tiles to do more!

Another great building-type of toy which my boys just can’t get enough of. It’s fun to see their imaginative creations!

Every budding scientist would love to get one under the tree this year!

Why Shopping Before the Holiday Is Smart

November 6, 2018 by Kelly Dedeaux

This sponsored post made possible by shopDisney. All opinions are mine alone.

It’s so tempting to wait until the holiday is full-swing before doing our gift shopping. Perhaps it’s all the colors, sites and sounds while you’re checking things off your list. Or maybe those special sales pull you in. While those are great things, don’t be fooled – there are so many reasons Why Shopping Before the Holiday is Smart and saves so much time, stress and even money!

Yes, if you wait then there’s the holiday music and decor to enjoy – plus just something about the atmosphere that time of year that makes it extra special. But guess what? Stores roll out the holiday decorations and supplies earlier every year, and you can still go and feel that happy excitement but without the stress of a rush or shopping to-dos by hitting up great sales now. Then just head to the stores later on simply for the joy of it – it can be a whole new experience for this wonderful season by having the hassle of shopping already off your mind!

As for the special holiday sales – why not take advantage of great sales NOW? Seriously, stores know that people get more and more hurried and desperate as the season goes on, so you can actually save a ton of money by taking advantage of current sales – like 25% off your purchase at shopDisney and Disney store!

Friends and Family Sale: 25% off Sitewide at shopDisney! Code: DISNEYPAL. Valid 11/8/16-11/11/18. Some Restrictions Apply.

That’s right, you can get a jumpstart to the holidays with Disney, Pixar, Star Wars AND Marvel favorites with their awesome sale! Not only can you get 25% off your purchase at both shopDisney and the Disney store, but their top holiday toys are available at incredible prices anyway. Let’s take a look at some of the top picks – and the thing sure to be a huge hit this year, so better act now for the best price AND get them before they’re all gone!

For my fellow Star Wars fans:

Rey Lightsaber

Any little princesses out there will love:

Those seeking more adventure will be thrilled with:

Woody Talking Action Figure

Imagine how much better you’ll be able to really enjoy the holiday season – and those special people you share it with – if you’re not rushing around trying to tackle all that shopping later on. You can relax more, breathe it all in, and truly appreciate the memories you’ll be making.

My New Perspective on PC Gaming

October 26, 2018 by Kelly Dedeaux

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Turtle Beach. All opinions are mine alone.

A few months ago, I was lucky enough to attend a local gaming conference with my hubby. I’d been getting more and more into PC gaming, and the idea of a few days (and nights – sleep was more of a early morning until noon timing here) with no responsibilities, just games, sounded amazing. It was a complete blast, and now I understand why he looks forward to it annually! One thing we enjoyed during the conference, when we needed to stretch our legs, was seeing what equipment other gamers were using – their PCs, monitors, keyboards, and – of course – their headsets. While I use to think that whatever accessories I had available would be the same, I have a whole New Perspective on PC Gaming and what really makes a difference. Especially when you’re spending that long on a game, you need quality equipment – which is why I’m thrilled to have the Elite Atlas Pro Performance PC Gaming Headset!

If you remember from last month, I shared why my family loves gaming so much. It’s great for having fun together, working together to solve a problem, build something, or reach a goal – plus it can teach the kiddos to get along better! It’s also a wonderful way for hubby and I to bond. Now that we’re also attending an actual event outside of our home, where we play PC games for such an extended amount of time, it’s even more crucial that we have better equipment that not only works amazing, but will be comfortable. That’s one reason I love the Turtle Beach® Elite Atlas headset for our PC gaming, because it’s designed for players of any level (my kids love the sound quality!) – but especially pro-players and hardcore PC gamers.

It’s durable (yet sleek) metal headband features a suspended pad, ProSpecs™ glasses-friendly design AND has upgraded magnetic memory foam ear cushions with an athletic fabric and synthetic leather. All the pieces work together to block out all that external noise (there’s a LOT during a gaming conference, trust me), plus make it super comfortable for long periods of PC gaming. Plus it works to take with you wherever you go (because who knows when an awesome PC game will happen), with included 3.5mm and PC-splitter cables that connect to any PC setup.

The Turtle Beach® Elite Atlas sets a whole new level for esports audio on PC, and the amazing audio performance centers around it’s pro-tuned 50mm Nanoclear™ speakers deliver immersive Windows Sonic for Headphones surround sound – which is practically a necessity when PC gaming, because you want to feel fully involved in the game. For those games where you need to talk with your team (or opponents!), the removable high-sensitivity mic with TruSpeak™ technology offers flawless communication. It was a bit ridiculous at our conference how the headset I had then struggled with the mic, making some of the games super frustrating as we tried to communicate from different PC stations. No worries now that I have the Elite Atlas, though!

Hubby is so glad that I finally realized why it matters what type of equipment you have – I guess I hadn’t played quite long enough to notice, or kept brushing off the idea that there was really great stuff out there that made a huge difference when you’re playing a game. Whatever the reason, it’s so neat seeing (and hearing) the difference a quality keyboard, mouse and PC gaming headset make to really pull you into a game, plus make the actual play of it more smooth!

What’s your PC gaming must-have?

The Ultimate Gift That isn’t ‘Stuff’!

October 8, 2018 by Kelly Dedeaux

Thank you to my friends at Bluprint for sponsoring this post. All opinions are mine alone.

Okay mamas, I know many of us aren’t ready for the reality of it BUT – Christmas is coming. I know, it may sound far away still, but with everything between now and then, it’ll be here before we know it. It sneaks up on me every year, so I’m trying to be on-the-ball and plan ahead so that I can better enjoy the actual holiday season instead of running around in a crazy mad dash checking things off the to-do list. The gift shopping seems to be the biggest & easiest thing to get done in advance, and today I’m telling you about an amazing option that would work for pretty much anyone on your list! And the best part is, it’s not a toy or more ‘stuff’ to clutter the house – it’s The Ultimate Gift That isn’t ‘Stuff’!

I’m thrilled when I can find something that’s more of an activity or event – something they can DO, especially if it’ll be lasting. You know what I’m talking about – not something the kids will play with for a week then forget about. I’m talking about Bluprint – NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment’s new and expanded subscription service! It’s the premier digital destination for lifestyle learning, and offers online classes that focus on legacy crafts PLUS new complementary categories that help promote and facilitate self-expression in areas such as writing, music and dance, yoga and fitness, home decor, entertaining, plus plenty for kids and family. I was amazed with how many online classes were available, and the variety of topics is fantastic!

The extensive categories make this a perfect fit for practically anyone on your holiday list – from sewing classes for beginner kids just starting out, on up to complex pattern making or highly skilled sewers. Don’t worry, there’s also plenty for the guys in your life, too – such as woodworking, photography, cooking, healthy eating and much more. I love the idea of taking some of these classes TOGETHER – sharing a new hobby or skill with your special someone sounds like a super fun and unique date night!

Bluprint has an incredible content library with over 3,000 HOURS of original classes, and they produce original entertainment series featuring creative experts. They’ll not only provide a fun time, but will help inspire, empower and entertain everyone, form the experienced creator to the everyday doer. My kids are going to LOVE the kid-focused cooking classes, as they’ve been learning a few basic things to do more on their own in the kitchen. Since my girls are almost teenagers (YIKES!), and fashion is a main priority for them, this Fashion Attic series will be perfect for them – and other classes can help them learn to make their own bags!

As for myself, the fitness classes (especially the ‘Boost Your Physical and Mental Energy‘ one – I’m sure all of us parents would appreciate this one!) and tons under the Cooking category will be great fun. And my fellow busy moms – there’s plenty of cooking hacks and tips, plus easy recipes to help us on those busy weeknights! Hubby will go crazy for the DIY Sushi or How to Make a Comic Book, of course.

I love that Bluprint offers a place for families to turn online inspiration into offline ways to imagine, play and grow – whether individually or all together! You get 24/7 access to exclusive series and easy-to-follow classes, so it works with everybodies schedule. Your family can learn and try new things together (great family night activities!), and it doesn’t matter what skill level you are. With kid-friendly content made with ages 6-12 in mind, plus trusted, family-friendly experts, you don’t have to stress about what your child is doing online with Bluprint’s family content.

Another fabulous benefit of giving the gift of Bluprint this holiday season? The subscription is only $14.99/month or $120/year ($5/month savings!) and is accessible on both desktop and mobile – either go to http://www.mybluprint.com/, check it out through the Bluprint app or on Roku. Already, Bluprint serves a passionate and engaged community of millions, and that’s growing all the time. They keep them informed, and one step ahead of trends. Members with similar interested can connect through premium and enhanced original editorial content, social media engagement and live, one of a kind events.

Also, now through October 20th, visitors have the option to choose one of two limited time offers: Monthly subscription for $9.99 (normally $14.99) OR select an Annual Subscription for just $100 (normally $120) + a free Bluprint Box of your choice! The holidays just got even better.

Hubby Date Night Gift Basket with Free Printable

December 11, 2017 by Kelly Dedeaux

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. Product was provided by the client for review; however, all opinions are mine alone. #WorldsSmartestToothbrush #PhilipsSonicare #OprahsFavoriteThings #CollectiveBias

I don’t know about you, but I love choosing gifts for my family and friends, but have to admit that there’s a few that are always difficult to buy for – and often it’s the men! Since it can often be the best idea to give activities or experiences, I thought it’d be fun to make a Hubby Date Night Gift Basket – with Free Printable, of course. With this, you can include plenty of neat gifts into a creative basket, plus YOU get a date out of it, as well! You’re welcome 🙂

Click the little tag in the image below for easy shopping & to nab your own Philips® Sonicare DiamondClean Smart 9300 Rechargeable Toothbrush!

When choosing what to include in your date night gift basket, keep in mind things that not only would be useful during your date – like a blanket, sparkling cider, gift card to a restaurant or movie passes, but also things to help your significant other get ready for your special night. I put some new shave stuff in for my hubby, knowing how he likes to have a clean shave before we get to go out (and he knows I love it, too!). He’s also really careful with his oral care, so I was thrilled to give him the Philips® Sonicare DiamondClean Smart 9300 Rechargeable Toothbrush. The Sonicare DiamondClean Smart 9500 Rechargeable Toothbrush was named one of Oprah’s Favorite things in 2017, so I was sure this one would be perfect, as well! I love seeing the items she includes each year, and know this will be a great gift for anyone on your holiday shopping list. You can even nab it off Amazon, so no need to go to the store!

I got my first Philips Sonicare for Mother’s Day a couple years ago, so have learned that they’re a great brand that I trust to follow there’s saying ‘There’s Always a Way to Make Life Better’. I can see why it’d be included on this year’s list, because the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean has 4 modes plus 3 intensities to let you focus on each aspect of your oral health, with the premium brush heads giving you exceptional results. We all have different needs, right? With this, the sensors and app help you perfect YOUR technique, giving you a complete clean. The Sonicare app even gives you real-time feedback and personalized coaching – that alone can be the perfect holiday gift!

Other ideas could be their favorite candies, a new shirt to wear on the date, a favorite cologne, or maybe a CD with music from when you started dating. There’s so many different things you could do, so feel free to customize it to your significant other – just like Philips Sonicare DiamondClean helps you customize your oral health care!

After you’ve decided on the gifts you’ll include in your date night gift basket, be sure to get a box, basket, or container that will FIT it nicely. I did a smaller basket inside a larger one to add some dimension – I’ve always been a fan of attractive gifting and wrapping!

Next, download and print off your Date Night Gift Basket Tag HERE

Don’t forget to sign your name at the bottom! For some extra fine, you can even write a sweet, thoughtful or funny message on the back of it! Sorry, not sharing a photo of my message to hubby 😉 Then get a ribbon and attach the tag to your date night gift basket.

That’s all it takes, and you’ve got SEVERAL gifts for your honey – plus the promise of a date night for you BOTH!

If you want to wrap it all up as a surprise under the tree, you could also do colored tissue paper inside cellophane wrap around it – making it one big, carefully wrapped gift to sit there and tease your hubby as to what’s inside! I didn’t wait until Christmas for ours, but love the idea of wrapping it up like that so he has no clue what it is. Oh – and don’t forget to line up a babysitter, if needed, so there’s no obstacles in your way for a wonderful date night this holiday!

Give the gift of superior sonic technology and even treat yourself to a great date night!

Gifts for Harry Potter Fans

November 22, 2017 by Kelly Dedeaux

It’s no secret that many of my family LOVE Harry Potter and that entire universe that J.K. Rowling created. As much as I love it, though, my daughter is completely and shamelessly obsessed with it! I don’t think a birthday or Christmas can go by without her requested something to go along with this, and I know she’d love practically everything on this list of Gifts for Harry Potter Fans.

It’s completely delicious – my favorite butterbeer thing ever – and we’ve been missing it since we first tried it at Universal last month. So if you happen to be THERE during the holidays, I recommend trying it – and buying one as gift for Harry Potter fans in your family, albeit an immediate one since it won’t exactly wait patiently wrapped under the tree 🙂

Gifts for Boys

November 22, 2017 by Kelly Dedeaux

Growing up with all sisters, it was a whole new deal when I had THREE boys of my own. I’ve since learned to embrace their love of LEGOs, Transformers, ninja-stuff and more. Luckily I already had a near-obsession with superheroes and Star Wars, so that worked out nicely. During the holidays, I actually find myself enjoying picking out items for them more than the girls – maybe it’s because my girls are near-teen years so extremely picky, or just because there’s some really awesome stuff my boys would like out there. Whatever the reason, I’m sharing some of my favorite Gifts for Boys – probably about ages 4-10, depending on the kid.

Now, I could’ve made this list EXTREMELY long with all the fun things out there, but I just stuck to between 20-30 to keep everyone (including myself) from feeling overwhelmed when choosing their gifts for boys. After all, none of us needs more stress during the holidays!

I’ve spent a lot more travelling the past year than normal, and I’ve loved every moment of it (minus missing the kiddos & hubby when they can’t go with me)!

Now that I consider myself a more ‘seasoned traveler’, there’s some items that I keep right by my bags because they’re so great to have on a trip, whether for work or fun!

Gifts for Creative Kids

November 21, 2017 by Kelly Dedeaux

Happy Thanksgiving week, y’all! I love this time of year – the family time together, great food (and lots of it), and the joy that fills the air. I can’t help but get super excited during the holidays, and try to enjoy every moment! Since time is passing faster than we ever seem to keep up with, we better get a head start on our shopping lists – and today I’m here to help with a list of some fabulous Gifts for Creative Kids!

Whether you’ve got a budding artist, model car builder or future architect, there’s plenty of wonderful gifts for creative kids in this list for a variety of budgets and interests. Since my kids are definitely little creative minds, I’d love to get them ALL of this list – but we all know that’s extremely unrealistic and possibly irresponsible as a parent, so let’s just pick our favorites for whatever works for YOUR specific child the best 🙂
