I love Crayola Scribble Scrubbies.  They have so many different ones you can even get a few of this size for last minute presents that you forgot.  I always have a few extra presents set aside in case of emergency.  These little guys come with their own tattoo pen.   Then after you decorate them just put them in the bath to wash them and you get to do it all over again.

Ask Einstein

A ton of us are doing home schooling right now and Dr. Stem Toys Ask Einstein is the perfect fun learning tool to have at home.  They have a few different sets to choose from and my son thinks they are a blast. Place an electronic Einstein the mouse over the chosen answer and see if his enormous brain-scanning helmet lights up green for correct. Bonus sounds emit in celebration of the correct response. If a child chooses unwisely, Einstein’s helmet flashes a red incorrect and sounds a buzzer. Suddenly facts and figures become an entertaining game. Kids can quiz themselves or have mom or dad assist emerging readers.

 

 

Tonies

We introduced you to Tonies a few months ago and they have just released new charters and we love them.  When I hear they had a Frozen Else one I knew little guy would love it.  Tonies is an interactive box that will sing songs to you tell you story’s and so much more.  I love that they are also built for rough play.

Dragon Ball Super

 

We love collection action figures and the new collection from Bandai are amazing.  The Dragon Ball Supers are quality figures you can play with them or collect them and they would be the perfect add to any collection.  We got the COOLER Final Form and the SUPER SAIYAN GOKU (only at game stop) I love that he comes with an extra set of hand to make play time even more fun.

 

Tomagotchi

OMG, I Loved my Tamagotchi.  I had mine for months and it even went on my summer graduation trip with me.  These are the generation 2 you get your pet and once again be ready to take care of it, or you will lose it.  You have to feed them bring them to the bathroom and more.  I love that your little one will be learning while they play.   As most of us know taking care of a Tamagotchi is not easy and your kids will soon learn how much love and care go into it.

Lego Trolls World Tour

Trolls World Tour Legos are here and they are adorable.  If you have a little one like mine that loves Trolls and Legos then the Lego sets are going to be a huge hit this year.  As we all know Lego sets sell out fast so make sure to pick them up as soon as you see them.  Lego is also having a Black Friday Sale so don’t miss out on the extra free bees.  This set is from DreamWorks and is so cute.  The Pop Village Celebration set comes with 380 pieces including some of your favorite trolls. I LOVE Tiny Diamond.

 

World of Zombies

Do you have a Zombie lover?  Little and I love them and the World of Zombies is perfect for us.  The stadium had 7 sporting events and includes 2 zombies.  For those of you wondering yes there are more to collect so you can collect them all and even hope to find some of the rare golden zombies.  They even had a Ball Park set you can get to go with your stadium.  Bandai’s World of Zombies lets you step into a world where everything and everyone is a ZOMBIE! Each Zombie in the line comes from their own unique country with its own zombie twist. These are not your ordinary zombies… they are fun, have their own personalities but all of them love to compete in all sorts of sporting events. Collect them all!

OMG when I was younger Peanuts were my favorite.  I always dreamed of having a dog like Snoopy.  These TIPPIES are to cute for words and they have a few different designs to collect. You can collect Disney or Peanuts and each one is adorable. At only 1.5 inches tall, they’re compact as they are clever. Your new little buddies are big on personality. Tippies love company, so once you start, you’ll want to collect them all. Turn playtime into Tippies Time – time and time again.

Snap Ships

We had so much fun playing with the Snap Ships from Play Monster at Holiday of Play this year.  I got to watch a ton of influencers compete to make the best the fastest.  There are a few different ships to choose from and you can easily follow the directions to make the ship or you can make what your imagination can think of.  All the ships can work together.  The Snap Ships set for Lance includes instruction for two different builds that you assemble yourself and then engage in battle with real shooting weapon play! Lance SV-51 Scout is known to be fast and agile, and in the hands of a capable pilot such as Atam, the Forge’s alien tech guru, it is almost untouchable. Add the mysterious UJU tech piece that’s included, and you’re sure to defeat the Komplex.

 

Pass Back

Now I was trying to figure out if this should be a gift for men or for kids, it really does fit both guides.  I decided to do for kids because of the way the world is right now a lot of our kids need to get some energy our, but they can not play with their friends.  The Pass Back is perfect I know my foot ball loving nephew would go nuts for it. They also have 3 different sizes so you can make sure to get the right for your kids age or even your husband. Unique design allows the ball to return to user when thrown against hard surface.  Increase passing/catching with unlimited reps in a shorter time. Feels just like a regular football allowing user to be ready for game time.

Why Parents Should Consider a Career in Education

tabbyspantry

 

As a parent, you may be considering how you can find a new career that suits your lifestyle and that can allow you to spend as much time with your children as possible. An increasing amount of new moms and dads are starting to consider getting a career in the education sector, and this article will detail some of the best reasons why.

1.Can Train Online

One of the many advantages of an education career for those who are struggling to balance their family and working life, is that you can take an online degree in early childhood education and educational leadership. This will allow you to work toward your goals while you are on maternity or paternity leave, and can also allow you to learn flexibly around the needs of your children. At Bank Street (https://online.bankstreet.edu/), their educational programs will allow you to open doors for yourself into the teaching profession, all from the comfort of your own home.

2. Have Developed the Correct Soft Skills

As a parent, teaching is one of the best careers if you want to find a pathway that utilizes many of the skills that you have garnered through the first months of parenthood. For instance, you often learn how to be patient, compassionate, and energetic as a parent, as well as to problem solve and to use discipline effectively, all of which are transferrable skills that are often listed on teaching application forms. You may also have a better understanding of kids and how they learn than before your child came into the world.

3. Can Have School Vacations Off

If you are looking for a career that will allow you to have a great work/life balance and that will allow you to spend your kid’s vacations from school having fun and bonding, teaching is an excellent option for you. Becoming a teacher means that you will have the same time off as your child, which will reduce the stress of arranging childcare and can allow you to have the time to see your kid grow up.

4. Can Boost Your Child’s Education

Not only this, but becoming a teacher can also boost your own child’s education by giving you an insight into the best teaching techniques, which you can then put into practice with your kid. You will also have a better understanding of the curriculum and how exams work, the knowledge of which can help your kids to succeed and thrive as they go through the education system.

5. Access to Understanding and Flexible Roles

However, one of the best elements of teaching is that it offers you the chance to choose from a wide range of roles. The flexibility of these types of roles means that you can find ones that suit your lifestyle. For instance, if you are looking for flexible, part-time work that brings you a new challenge every day, you may choose to work for an agency, whereas, if your children are young, you might want to become an e-learning instructor as this will allow you to work from home. Most teaching facilities will also be understanding of your childcare commitments, and some even offer creches that will allow you to work when no other childcare is available.

Somrus Coffee Cream Liqueur:

I know one gift that always goes over huge at partys is a great liqueur.  The Somrus Coffee Cream Liqueur is going to be a huge hit.  The bottle alone is beautiful, but when you taste the Coffee Cream Liqueur its going to be a whole new ball game.  It taste fantastic and goes down smooth.  You could easily mix this with hot coco, coffee or even just drink over some ice.  Based on South India’s “kaapi,” Sōmrus Coffee Cream is made from coffee and chicory, together with real dairy cream from Wisconsin and quintuple distilled Caribbean rum. The end result is silky and creamy, with rich roasted coffee notes, a hint of sweetness, and notable depth of flavor. Packaged in an eye-catching rose gold bottle.

Tom of Finland Organic Vodka

Like above a great drink is always a fantastic hostess gift.  Throwing a party can get expensive if everyone brings something it can help take some of that expense away from the Hostess, plus its always great to bring something new and exciting. The Tom of Finland Organic Vodka is a perfect gift to bring to the party. Named for the eponymous artist who created the gay male “leather” iconography we take for granted today, Tom of Finland Organic Vodka is distilled at Lignell & Piispanen, the oldest distillery in Finland, from 95% wheat and 5% rye, with water from the surrounding Arctic region. A full 5% of all sales go back to Tom of Finland Foundation

Wrist Dispenser

Now the truth is I debated on if this should go into the Stocking Stuffers or for the Hostess.   I decided with the way the world is right now this would be a perfect gift for the Hostess.  We might not be having as big of parties, but we still want to keep the Hostess who is throwing this awesome party safe.  The Wrist Dispenser will keep their hands free and they can still keep their hands clean all night long. Wrist Dispenser is an innovative new way to carry and dispense hand sanitizer. It’s a wearable device that allows you to sensitize hands free with a stylish and customizable look. The product is used by pulling the small nozzle out of the band and squirting it onto your hand, and when you finish you simply tuck the nozzle back in the band.

 

Taza unbreakable wine glasses

We all know some great wine glasses are a great gift for the hostess.  I want to throw out another reason why there are perfect.  They are unbreakable and that makes them also perfect for the kids that want to cheers with you too.  My son loves fancy wine glasses, but lets be honest I am not giving him glass.  Look how crystal clear you can see threw the glass.  These come in a set of 4, they look fantastic and they are easy to clean.  I love the TaZa unbreakable glasses . and think they are a perfect Hostess gift this year.

 

BJ THOMAS CANDLES

A great candle is always a hit for the hostess or even your own home.  I love that BJ  THOMAS  CANDLES smell fantastic and they come in this adorable container ready to give as a present.  Each candle will have a song title and one will celebrate the 50th.  BJ Thomas is a Grammy award honoree, a Grand Ole Opry member, a Dove award recipient, is ranked in Billboard’s top 50 most played artists over the past 50 years and his smash hit “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head ” resides in the Grammy Hall of Fame.  Now, in 2020, as “Raindrops” celebrates 50 years Lakewood Candles has partnered with the iconic singer to release a six-candle collection.

CatSpring yaupon

I love tea, and I love the idea of giving the hostess some great tea.  That way they can not only offer it to their guests, but they also have something to sit down and relax with after the party is over. CatSpring yaupon has a great selection and the taste clean and fresh.  You can buy them in pouches or even loose tea. What’s yaupon? Well, we like to say, “it’s Texan, for tea” but simply, it’s the only caffeinated plant native to North America! My sister and I founded CatSpring Yaupon together because it provided us with an opportunity to return to the land, to our family values, and to American craftsmanship and goodness. If I were you I would totally go with the Multi pack.  I have tried a few of them so far and have loved every single one.

Carole Shiber Designs’ Napkin Bouquets

I have to say I am in LOVE with Carole Shiber Designs’ Napkin Bouquets.  Every year while everyone else is setting the table I am always folding napkins.  I have always tried to fold them into roses and it never turns out as beautiful as these.  These napkin bouquets are beautiful and the perfect present for the Hostess.  Floor tipped napkins rose-rolled with hand-painted leafy Napkin-Ring-to-Coasters™, beautifully arranged and then artfully gift-boxed.  The Sustainable Napkin Bouquets keep blooming for years to come. Generous 2-“ easy-care edged napkins simply re-roll into Carole’s original napkin rings for an ever-fresh, sustainable floral bouquet.  Make great hostess gifts! Available in a variety of colors.

instaFizz – Personal Sparkling Beverage Bottle

OK, now this one is really a perfect present for anyone on your list.  How much would your walking partner or hostess love to make any drink fizzy with just a twist?  I love that you can fill this anywhere then just twist and get your fizz on.   I get really bad heart burn and sometimes the only thing that helps it is a fizzy drink.  Now you can have one any where you are at your finger tips. InstaFizz is the perfect gift for everyone on your list this year.

 

Mix It Fresh

OMG this is amazing.  I love that there is no more trying to get it the same every time and having to clean a bunch of glasses and shot glasses.  MixIt Fresh provides the perfect libation (soft drinks and cocktails) from the first sip to the last drop. The completely reusable container controls the ratio of alcohol (or soft drink)  to mixer – expertly — taking the guesswork out of bartending on the go, and at home.

(1) Pour in the alcohol (or beverage of your choice) in the MixIt Fresh container to the fill line. (2) Snap it on to a can and…that is it! All you have to do is (3) drink! The patented technology extracts the can’s liquid and mixes it up fresh before it gets to your mouth . The dishwasher-safe container is ready for hundreds of uses (and hundreds of fun drinks!) At just $19.99, MixIt Fresh makes a great gift for the hostess.
