**Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above in exchange for review from Giveaway Service website. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Reference ID: c4a5a0f0d6e1**


As most of you know I am a big kid at heart.  I cannot even begin to express how I excited I was when I first laid eyes on the Silicone Lego Style Bricks And Minifigure Molds.  Every time I go to the freezer to get some ice, I am instantly transported back to my childhood.  Yes, I know that sounds corny but it's true.  I find myself wanting to play with my food again... 


You can use these molds for so many different things.   Whether you want to make some ice, candy or crayons, you can get the job done.  The trays are made with 100% pure food-grade silicone and they are BPA free.   The molds can be placed in the microwave, oven, freezer and steamer.  You don't have to worry about handwashing these products.  Cleaning is a breeze because they are dishwasher safe! 


I am in love with these lego style molds from e3X!  It's so much fun when I have someone over and I start making them a beverage and pull out robot or lego ice cubes.  Several people seem to agree with me, these are awesome!  You can check out more great ways to use the molds by visiting e3X on Facebook.

#HGG Light Affection Carved Personalized Photo Night Light #lightaffectionphotogifts

**Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above in exchange for review from Giveaway Service website. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Reference ID: c8e7b0e1f7c1**


I'm always trying to give meaningful gifts for the holidays and I think I have found the PERFECT present!!!  The Light Affection Carved Personalized Photo Night Light is amazing!  When I found about this, I thought that it was a really great idea but I was floored when I received my night light in the mail.


I submitted one of my favorite photos of Reese and Teegan and when I received the night light in the mail I was really happy with all of the detailing that Ligh Affection took into account when they carved my new favorite home decor piece.


Not only is the detailing exquisite, the quality of the frame is unbelievable.  It's also reasonably priced.  I wish that I could get one of these for everyone on my Christmas list! 

#HGG Valdler Sackcloth Stackable 12 Grid Jewelry Tray Showcase Display Organizer #valdler #review

**Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above in exchange for review from Giveaway Service website. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Reference ID: c4a9b0e0f8b1**


I have a good amount of jewelry and I hate when it gets all tangled up or when my sets get separated.  My new Valder Sackcloth Jewelry Tray fits perfectly in my vanity drawer.  I can use it to keep my jewelry in it's place and with twelve slots, I can even use a couple for makeup or nail polish.  You can even remove the grids if you don't want to divide your stuff.


I can think of several things that you could use this type of tray.  You can use it to organize a junk drawer, craft supplies or toiletries in the bathroom.  There are so many possibilities! 

Tray dimension (L x W x H): 35 x 24 x 3cm/13.78" x 9.45" x 1.18"; Lattice size: 7 x 8cm/2.75" x 3.15"

#HGG 85 Pieces Creative Builder Set from Koolsupply #educationaltoy #review

**I received this product for free for review purposes.**


If you have read my blog before then you know how much I adore my niece and nephew.  I love spending time with those amazing kids!  I especially like it when I can show up at their house with a new movie or toy.  My most recent visit included the 85 Pieces Creative Builder Set from Koolsupply. 


My niece and nephew are both extremely smart and have vivid imaginations.  Watching them learn and have fun are two of my favorite things.  I have to say that I was so excited by how much they loved this toy.  With one quick look at a picture of a robot, Damien could put it together in record time!


There are so many different combinations that can be used when building with this educational toy.  After a while, the kids decided to use their imaginations.  This is when the magic started.  They would look all intense while they decided on a strategy to build something amazing. 


This is the perfect gift for children.  It provides mental stimulation and it's loads of fun.  It's a great way to turn off the TV, stop playing video games and spend time with kids.  Are you ready to have some fun?

#HGG Sewing Gear Sewing Kit #sewinggear #review

I received this product for free for review purposes.
 

I have been doing a lot of sewing lately.  I have two dogs and they love all of their toys.  Sometimes they get a bit carried away and end up ripping a hole.  I can't bring myself to throw away a treasured toy, so I take some time and patch them up as good as I can.  The Sewing Gear Sewing Kit is my go-to tool now.


This kit comes with everything you could possibly need.  So far, I have saved a few stuffed dog toys from certain death, hemmed a pair of jeans, sewn buttons on a blouse and completed some crafty projects that have been on my to-do list for quite a while.


The high quality thread does a great job of repairing small and large rips and tears.  No matter what sewing task is in front of you, you will find everything you need in this convenient, well organized, zippered pouch.  Make sure you keep this in mind when you are shopping for stocking stuffers!

#HGG InstaBox® Voyage SV5000 WiFi LCD Action Camera #review

**I received this product for free for review purposes.**


I am thrilled with the InstaBox® Voyage SV5000 WiFi LCD Action Camera!  The crystal clear clarity is amazing.  This camera is so tiny but manages to take in the whole room thanks to its wide angle lens.


It is also user friendly which is a huge plus.  There is an app that I was able to download on my Android phone and I was able to watch what my husband was recording right from my cell.  How cool is that?



I am still in shock over the price for this product.  You get so much and the cost is budget friendly.  I get really excited when I find a quality item that doesn't cause me to panic over the price.



My plan is to hook this up to my each of my dogs collars (at separate times of course) using the waterproof case so I can see things from their perspective.  I am having so much fun!


This InstaBox camera comes with almost everything you can think of:

Original InstaBox® SV5000 WiFi Sport CAM
InstaBox® collection box
30M Waterproof Housing
Quick Release Buckle
Housing Backdoor with Holes
Handlebar Seatpost Pole Mount
Curved Adhesive Mount
Flat Adhesive Mount
3-Way Pivot Arm Mount
2 x 3M Adhesive Tape
Frame Mount
Quick Release Clip for The Frame
Vertical Quick Release J-Hook Buckle
Bandage Set
Stainless Steel Safety Tether
4 x Nylon Cable Ties
Cleaning Cloth
USB Cable
Higher Capacity Li-ion Battery


The only thing we had to purchase to go with this item is an SD card.  This would make an amazing present for the holidays!

#HGG #SOLUTIONELLE Ceramic Chef Knife Set #review

**I received this product for free for review purposes.**


My husband and I both have an obsession with knives.  Whenever we are cooking a yummy meal, we want a sturdy knife for precision cuts.  I am extremely happy with my new SOLUTIONELLE Ceramic Chef Knife Set!


The day that I received these knives, my husband decided to quickly claim them for himself.  I'm letting him think that they are his, but in reality, they are all mine.  Shhh, don't tell.


They came in a gorgeous red Solutionelle box!  This four piece set comes with two ceramic knives ,one Chef's knife and one paring knife.  These knives are extremely sharp, so they each come with a fitted sheath.



These are by far the best knives I have ever used.  The handle fits perfectly in my hand and they slide right through whatever I am trying to cut.  I have already had a couple people tell me that this is what they want for Christmas.  You can't go wrong with these knives!

#HGG The Wine Gun #winegunsilver #review

**I received this item for free for review purposes. I was also compensated for my time.   All opinions expressed are my own.**


Sometimes it's nice to come home, sit down with a glass of wine and let the days stress just fall away.  This can be relaxing or it can cause even more anxiety.  Have you ever tried to use a cheap corkscrew and just end up shredding the cork?  Or fighting with is just so can enjoy a glass or two?



The Wine Gun by WineOvation is a fun and easy way to get your drink on.  When I first opened the box, I was surprised by how large it is.  I feel like a kid every single time I look at it!


The handy wine gun has everything you need to pop open a bottle of bubbly.  It comes with a foil cutter, the wine gun, a charging base for the gun to sit in and a wall charger.


The Wine Gun works great!  You can kiss fighting with the cork goodbye!  The first step to using this product to open up your bottle of red or white is to use the foil cutter.  Once you have done that, you stick the barrel of the gun over the top of the bottle and pull the trigger because the cork screw is inside the barrel.  Then, you press the trigger forward to remove the cork.  Voila!


Now you can pour your glass and enjoy it knowing that once you are done, you can place the cork back inside the bottle to keep it fresh.  How easy is that?  This has to be one of the coolest things I have in my home.  I love it!

#HGG X-Shade Power Inverter #review

**I received this product for free for review purposes.**


A couple of months ago, on two separate occassions, I ended up having to get a jump start from someone at work in order to make it home.  I was at the mercy of others when the engine wouldn't turn over and it was really frustrating.  If only I had this X-Shade Power Inverter at that time. 


The power inverter will allow me to start my car without having to depend on someone else  If I am somewhere alone, I can get my car to start by myself which makes me feel a lot safer.  I haven't had a chance to use this product on my car yet but I have used it to charge other things. 


So far I have used this power inverter to charge my tablet, cell phone and my laptop all while sitting in my car.  My husband has used this product on several of his tools.  It's a great gadget to have!

#HGG EasySMX Bluetooth Smartwatch #review

**I received this product free of charge for review purposes.**


I have often wondered what having a Smartwatch would be like.  Now that I have the EasySMX Bluetooth Smartwatch, I know what all the fuss is about.  I have an android phone, so I am able to take advantage of a lot of extra features.


I can call someone, listen to music, monitor my sleep, use it as a pedometer and more!  It's a lot of fun playing around on my new Smartwatch.  I love trying different gadgets and this is no exception.


The resolution on this watch is exceptional!  I cannot believe how many different things you can do from your wrist.  The EasySMX Bluetooth Smartwatch comes with the watch, directions, cleaning cloth and a charging cable.  This is awesome!

#HGG Certified iPhones & iPads from Gazelle

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.**


The holidays may be over a month away, but I'd wager a candy cane or two that you're already starting to think about what gifts you're going to give your family and friends this year. Well if you're in need of some inspiration, might I suggest an iPad? Now before you start thinking that an iPad seems like a mighty expensive gift, let me explain.

Sure, a brand new iPad might cost a pretty penny, but if you purchase a Gazelle Certified iPad you'll find that such a gift is quite affordable. You see, Gazelle Certified iPads have all gone through an extensive, in-depth 30+-point inspection process to ensure their quality. Plus, just to make sure you and the iPad's new owner are 100% satisfied, Gazelle also offers a 30-day return policy on all their Certified devices.

Now that you know that an iPad can actually be an affordable gift to give, here are some other reasons why they make perfect presents:


  • iPads are very portable. They are lightweight and small enough to fit into a handbag and some purses. This also makes them easy to hold while chillin' on the couch or lying in bed watching a movie or TV show.
  • The iPad also comes with a number of awesome apps that make it easier to complete many tasks. These include a web browser, mail client, a calendar, an alarm clock, a maps package, and even tablet-specific apps, such as a camera, a photos app, a video library, and an app for playing music. While there are many low-cost apps ranging between $0.99 and $4.99, the user will also find a ton of free apps in the iPad's App Store.
  • Speaking of apps, the iPad's iBooks app makes for an excellent eReader. It supports Amazon Kindle books with a free Kindle reader available in the App Store.
  • Along with inexpensive apps, the iPad is also great for gaming. And like most of the apps on the iPad, games tend to be cheaper than their console counterparts. In fact, a lot of great games are priced at $5 and under.
  • Great for kids! While kids should definitely be outside playing as much as possible, there are times when that's not feasible, such as during bad weather or while stuck in a car or on a plane. The iPad provides an easy-to-use tool for both entertainment and education.
  • If the iPad has data connection, it can easily replace the GPS in your car, helping to ensure your friends and family will never get lost again (well, that might be expecting too much..).
These are just a few of the many reasons why iPads make for great gifts. Visit Gazelle's selection of iPads today and give a gift that will keep on giving the whole year through!

Looking for some extra cash to add to your gift-giving budget? Trade-in your used device to Gazelle for cash! You'll love how simple they make the process.
