2018 Holiday Gift Guide: Tic Tac Tongue #giftsforkids #familygamenight

Looking for a fantastically fun board game that is sure to bring lots of laughs for the whole family? Tic Tac Tongue is the "Must-Have" children's game of the season. It's a battle of the lizards as each player straps on a lizard mask and prepares for a game of skill and speed! We love how simple the rules are and even the younger kids in our family can participate. Since it's an action game, kids can work on fine motor skills as they play, too. For those of you who are like me, you probably want to know about the germ factor. You'll be happy to know that all 4 lizard masks have washable mouthpieces and tongues, that can be sanitized when the game is over! We expect this game to become a top pick for children's gifts this year.

The holidays are upon us and this year we're giving books from the popular series that the kids in our family love: Goosebumps by R.L. Stine! This series has become a rite of passage in our family. My husband and I used to read them when we were young, so it's pretty cool to see that Goosebumps books are still in such high demand. It's been a fantastic motivator for the reluctant readers in our family. They've expanded to quite a few spooky collections, too. This season, we've chosen books from the Goosebumps: Hall of Horrors collection that are sure to be a hit.

2018 Holiday Gift Guide: Chi Rocket Hair Dryer #beautygifts #HolidayCHI #haircare

Haircare products are always popular gift items during the holiday season. I've always been a fan of CHI products and the CHI Hello Beautiful Rocket Hair Dryer is no exception! This high-end hair dryer is powerful enough to cut down drying time by 50-percent, making it a fantastic timesaver for busy lifestyles. We also love that the CHI Hello Beautiful Rocket is light and quiet, making it easier to use and a lot more pleasant! What makes this hair dryer even better is it has very low electromagnetic frequency (EMF) output and a light indicator on the side of the dryer that activates when you're producing infrared and ionic heat. Heat can wreak havoc on hair, so using the proper tools is essential!
