A Toy with Endless Possibilities {Holiday Gift Guide 2015}

December 23, 2015 by Emilee Evans

Our kids love stuffed toys. And why not? You can cuddle with them, use them for imaginary play, keep them in your bed, take them on the go, etc. They only lack one thing – they’re limited to what they are. A teddy bear is a teddy bear, a lion is a lion, etc. Of course, children can use their imaginations wouldn’t it be fun to have a stuffed animal that can be changed as often as they want? That’s what Kreate a Pet is all about!

Disclosure: I recieved complimentary products to facilitate our Kreate a Pet review. Regardless, all opinions are my own and those of my family.
Kreate a Pet are fun pets that can be created and changed as often as you want! The Kreate A Pet product was born from the imagination of Katarina when she was only 10 years old. She loved playing with stuffed animals, but her creative spirit wished she could do more with them like mixing and matching characteristics. One day when she was playing with sticky fabrics she got the great idea and started coming up with the designs for Kreate A Pet!
Now 13, she is so glad everyone loves her products. In addition the Patent Pending Kreate a Pet products, Katarina has many other models on the drawing board including dinosaur, monster, bird, insect, fish, cars, boats, airplanes, and houses. Plus the parts will be interchangeable between models!

Kreate a Pet Review

For our review we received two Kreate a Pets with included Stikkie Parts Packs and a Stikkie Board.

Our kids were in love with their Kreate a Pet as soon as I opened the box. Their eyes lit up and they were ready to check them out! I admit, so was I! You can create so many possibilities for endless hours of play! I shared more in this video as well as our younger two children showing how fun Kreate a Pet can be!

So far our kids have made multiple combinations with their Kreate a Pet. Our youngest son’s personal favorite is putting all the ears on one pet’s head to make it look like a lion, our daughter likes to make them look like cats and our oldest son just likes to put the Stikkie Parts anywhere for random combinations! They even like putting the Stikkie Parts on the Stikkie Board in various patterns or just randomly.
My favorite thing about the Stikkie Board is that there is a convenient place to put all the Stikkie Parts so they don’t get lost! Our kids (like most kids I’m sure) are notorious for losing things – especially small pieces and accessories for their toys. It gets tiring trying find them all and then we often give up on the toys altogether because we just can’t find them! This problem is solved with the Stikkie Board!

If you (or your gift recipients) have pets, I would make sure you have a lint roller (which you likely already do) because the loop material on the (Kreate a Pets) can attract pet hairs. A simple once over with the lint roller fixes it easily, though!
The Kreate a Pet would make an awesome gifts for any kid. It really allows them to use their imagination (and creativity) to the fullest! They have amazing features and are great for a variety of ages!

Green Gift Idea {Holiday Gift Guide 2015}

December 21, 2015 by Emilee Evans

So you have friends or family members that embrace the eco-friendly lifestyle. Maybe you embrace the eco-friendly lifestyle as well, but gifting to eco-conscious friends and family members can be challenging. As an eco-friendly family, we often receive the same type of gifts. Although nice (and definitely appreciated) I’m here to tell you there is more out there than eco-friendly bath and beauty products and reusable kitchen items! Take the beautiful wood watches from JORD for example – a great green gift idea!
Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. Regardless, all opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.

JORD offers a variety of stylish wood watches that are the perfect green gift. They not only look great, but they are made with wood that is either sustainably forested or they use remnant wood pieces from furniture manufacturers. Plus they don’t paint or stain the wood. Instead they use natural Tung oil to condition it after sanding.

JORD wood watches are available in many different styles, types of wood, colors and grains so there is something anybody would love! My husband and I love our JORD watches. We love the look and style and, of course, we love that they are made of not only wood but wood that is sustainably forested or the remnant wood pieces. Plus, because they are all made from natural wood they all look a little different. Eco-friendly and unique? Fantastic!
I am really loving my watch from the ELY series because it is so petite, which I think looks great on my small wrist. Of course I chose the Red Sandalwood because I LOVE red!

I have had the chance to review other great JORD watches. See what I thought of the JORD Sidney watch – Cherry & Mother Pearl Watch.

The perfect green gift

Shopping for the perfect green gift doesn’t have to be challenging. JORD offers gorgeous watches that are comfortable to wear, unique, eco-friendly and something they will love to wear! There is rarely a time we go out wearing our JORD wood watches that we don’t get comments and/or questions! They’re a great conversation starter and yet another opportunity to share our love for eco-friendly products!

Beautiful Personalized Jewelry {Holiday Gift Guide 2015}

December 5, 2015 by Emilee Evans

I think I’ve shared multiple times that I’m a fan of personalized products. I think they’re a treat to both give and receive and really says “I’m thinking about you.” Some are more personal than others, and this handwriting jewelry is both beautiful and unique!

Disclosure: I received a complimentary product to facilitate my review. Regardless, all opinions are my own.
Centime Gifts offers a variety of great products including personalized gifts, name jewelry, personalized prints & art. They specialize in sterling silver personalized jewelry. Centime Jewelry is created by two friends from Chicago that used to care excessively about gift-giving and celebrating every special occasions in their lives. They were tired of generic gifts. Like me, they like to give personalized gifts and knew they needed to offer jewelry that handmade and personal.
For my review I received the Personal Handwriting Bracelet (Dainty Chain). I was instantly in love!

I really debated what to get and who should write it, but I ultimately decided since our youngest still can’t write his name I would save that idea for a later time. So I got something personal for me – my name in my own writing. My husband even recognized that it was my writing. Pretty neat!
Do you remember when it was cool to have a bracelet engraved with your name? Or was that just around here? Ha! This is so much better and so much more personal! You could write something for someone as a gift, have your kids or spouse write something, etc.

The Personal Handwriting Bracelet is a beautiful bracelet and a great conversation starter! People can tell it’s hand written, which is really fun. It is of good quality sterling silver and has a Lobster Claw clasp, which I find to be one of the easier clasps to use – particularly on a bracelet.
This Handwriting Bracelet is just one of the great pieces of personalized jewelry! They offer a Coordinates Bracelet, Coordinates Necklace, Mother’s Ring, Signature Bracelet, Bar Signature Necklace and more! Be sure to check out the Centime Gifts Etsy Shop to see all the great products. This beautiful personalized jewelry would make great gifts!

A Stylish Gift for Him – Armitron Watches {Holiday Gift Guide 2015}

November 29, 2015 by Emilee Evans

With Christmas around the corner it’s time to check those gift lists! What is something unique a man would love? A quality watch with a sleek design!

Disclosure: I received a complimentary product to facilitate my Armitron review. Regardless, all opinions are my own and those of my family.
Armitron has a mission to make stylish and functional watches that are accessible to everyone. They seek to be inspirational and even use photos of real people in their marketing rather than models. It’s their goal to celebrate individuality and empower each wearer to share their own story through color, design and functionality.
As a Disabled Veterans wife, I particularly love that they highlighted the story of Veteran Noah Galloway.
For our review we received the Men’s Stainless-Steel Silver-Tone Multi-Function Black Dial Bracelet Watch for my husband.

This stainless steel watch has a unique face that includes day, date and 24 hour subdials. It is water resistant up to 165 feet. It has a really sleek look that could be paired with both a casual and professional look.
My husband particularly likes to wear this watch with a more dressed up/professional look. With the silver-tone band and black sunray dial it is easy to pair with a variety of styles. My husband tends to not think about style that much, so having a watch that goes so well with many colors and style is definitely an advantage!
My husband really likes the unique look of this watch (as do I). It’s definitely eye-catching! He finds that it fits well and is easy to put on and take off without fuss. It has a Fold-Over Clasp with Double Push-Button Safety. Overall, he really enjoys both the style and functionality.

Armitron watches make great gifts! With a sleek look that is unique yet easy to pair with a variety of styles you can’t go wrong! If you’re looking for a gift for a man in your life, an Armitron watch would make a great gift!
