Some Practical Gift Ideas For Valentine’s Day!!! Travalo Fragrance Atomizer Giveaway!!!

When one thinks about Valentine’s Day Gifts, they think about chocolate filled satin hearts, roses, and stuffed animals bearing loving sentiments.   Where is the practicality?  Okay, I know…most want to be showered with candy, flowers and stuffed bears but for those who are looking for some different ideas, we have some!

The ShaveTech uses USB powered state-of-the-art technology, so that it can be charged anywhere! Just by plugging the ShaveTech into any standard USB port, he can charge his electric razor with ease, free of the frustration of finding an unoccupied electrical outlet and packing any bulky adaptors.  When not charging, the ShaveTech USB port flips up directly into the razor itself, making it easy to grip for a close shave.

 

With its sleek, lightweight design and compact body, he can take the ShaveTech with him wherever he goes.  The lightweight and portability make it great for the gym, work or travel. The ShaveTech comes with a soft pouch for protection and a cleaning brush to keep the ShaveTech operating at its peak cutting capability.  You can follow Shave Tech on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Another great idea for travel is the Travalo.  If you receive some perfume for Valentine’s Day the Travalo will help you take it along with you wherever you go with no leaks.  This pocket sized refillable fragrance atomizer can be refilled in seconds directly from a big fragrance spray bottle.

Okay now a practical gift for men or women who really value practicality.  The Smart Sizzors are Scissors that do just about everything.Smart ‘Cut Anything’ Sizzors are multi-function scissors for general purpose use in the home, kitchen, office or workshop. The hardened, curved blades are razor-sharp and perform brilliantly where other scissors just won’t cut it.  Smart Sizzors’ sharp, professional grade hardened steel blades are so effective, you can cut through anything from paper to tough materials like blister packs, credit cards, tough boxes – even chicken bones!

The curved blades are designed for safety and ease of use and prevent any cut edges touching your hands during use. The comfortable soft grip handles work equally well for left or right handed people, and an adjustable tension bolt allows you to tighten them up if they ever work loose, so they keep on working for years.

An array of useful everyday tools such as a built-in bottle opener, nutcracker, garlic tool and wire stripper make the Smart Sizzors surprisingly handy for a whole host of odd jobs.  Follow AnySharp on Facebook.

Shop Pear Tree Greetings For Unique, Creative Christmas/Holiday Photo Cards!!! $40 Gift Code Giveaway!!!

pear tree logo #PearTreeGreetings

After Halloween I think it really hits that even though we may not believe it, that it’s time to start planning for the holidays. If you send Holiday Cards to your family and friends it’s time to start shopping!  I love taking photos and so I have sent photo cards to my friends and family ever since my oldest was born.  I love seeing how many options are available now. How I wish when my first three were younger that we had all the photo editing options and the ability to use multiple photos on cards.  My life would have been so much easier!  At least now with our family of 7, the endless array of options for colors, font, design, text and more make it easy to create a card that is unique, special and includes many photos of our family.

I recently created some Christmas Cards at Pear Tree Greetings and even ordered some coordinating photo address labels.  Their selection of cards is spectacular, and the search options make it easy to find a card that has the features you need.  If you normally write a holiday newsletter they have cards with stories and newsletters built right in.   What a great look to have the card read like a story of the last year to share with family and friends.  I chose the Stripes and Stories Creative Photo Christmas Card.

Stripes And Stories Photo Card #PearTreeGreetings

 

I was able to test several other options and save them until I found one that I was sure would be perfect for us.

Five Panel Argyle Holiday Card #PearTreeGreetings Soft White Lights Christmas Card #PearTreeGreetings Sparkle & Shine Trifold Letter #PearTreeGreetings

Stocking Stuffers Holiday Card #PearTreeGreetings Christmas Gift Tags #PearTreeGreetings

The card I chose had a Christmas Cookie recipe but I swapped it out for a snippet of A Charlie Brown Christmas where Linus explains what Christmas is about.  That is very special to my family for various reasons but especially since our son Luke was born on Christmas Eve and his sister declared that after seeing that scene, we should name him Luke.  We were contemplating between Luke and Jacob and could not decide on which to use for his first name.  She called the hospital a few hours after his birth and said she had just watched A Charlie Brown Christmas and after hearing Linus recite Luke 2:8-14 KJV that his name should be Luke.  The funniest thing is that Luke became a huge blanket baby just like Linus.

In another panel in the card I was able to add a custom Christmas and New Year message.  All the photos had little plaques that we could customize with our kid’s ages, where or when a photo was taken or anything else we wanted.

I was also able to create a coordinated look by ordering photo address labels that tied everything together.  It was simple and easy and there are even easy editing options right on the site when you are making your card that will allow you to convert your color photo to black and white in one click as well as other tweaks to make your photos look their best.

RedEnvelope Unique and Personalized Gifts Review!!!

redenvelopelogo

red-envelope-logo_thumb12

RedEnvelope was launched in 1999, with the mission to make gift giving for every occasion easy and fun.  The name RedEnvelope comes from a firmly held belief in Asian cultures that the color red is an auspicious symbol of happiness. Gifts are often presented in a simple red envelope – a timeless tradition that carries with it well wishes of prosperity, good fortune, appreciation and love.

I recently placed an order with RedEnvelope.  I ordered 2 long sleeve kid’s  States T-Shirts for my 2 little guys and a personalized Christmas Ornament.  I thought the State T-Shirts were so cool.  My five-year old loves to identify states and so having New York featured prominently on the front along with his name and in his favorite color, make this shirt a big hit.  I also ordered one for my three-year old in his favorite color.  The third thing I ordered was a personalized ceramic rectangular Family Christmas ornament which I had personalized with all seven of our names.  This ornament is very nice but the imprinting on the ceramic is at a bit of an angle, it is also a little hard to see the names since they are just imprinted without color so everything is the same color.  Other than that, it hangs from a red ribbon and comes packaged in a red drawstring bag.

You will find so many great gift ideas from RedEnvelope, they really have something for anyone even your pets!

I was provided with a gift code in which to order the items above but my opinions are my own.
