Goodie Books Review and Giveaway

Remember those little coupon books that you made as a kid?  Goodie Books takes that concept to the next level. A Goodie Book is a book of ten priceless gifts presented with observational humor and colorful illustrations. They package ten things you can do for someone that don't cost a penny into a beautiful booklet! I was so impressed with the quality of the books, and they are perfect for Mother's Day. Note to men...it's  just around the corner on May 9th! 

Goodie Book for Mom - From your Devoted Kid (8 - 15 years)

Ten price-less goodie gifts including such time tested classics as promises to eat all your vegetables, clean your room and feed the pets.

Goodie Book for Mom - From your Well-Intentioned Teenager

Goodie gift ideas appropriate for teens like clean up your mess, cook dinner once in a while, and keep curfew.

Goodie Book for Her from Him

Perfect for the love of your life, your main squeeze, and the woman who knows you only too well and loves you anyway.

There are other selections to meet all your gift giving needs: Goodie Books for Dad and Goodie Books for Him.

These days, cards cost $4 or $5, so for a little more, you get a card and gift bundled in one. The cost per book is $11.95.  Since one "goodie turn" deserves another, one dollar from each book is donated to charity.

KIM'S STITCH IN TIME BIRTHDAY TEE REVIEW

For our son's second birthday, we planned a visit to the Winnie the Pooh breakfast at the Grand Floridian.  He's a big Pooh Bear fan, so it was the obvious party theme.   Kim's Stitch in Time created this adorable, Winnie the Pooh tee for the occasion. 

Kim's Stitch in Time offers unique, custom birthday tees and onesies.  From Mickey to Thomas to all of the Princesses, you'll find a cute top for your little one. She also just added fun vacation outfits.  Perfect if you are planning a trip to Disney World!  Shirts can be personalized too. 

Kim was wonderful to work with. We chatted about the theme, and she suggested a few fabric options.  Then, she custom designed the tee and mailed it in plenty of time. The shirt is 100% cotton and good quality. I would suggest ordering a size larger just to make sure it fits.  Visit her site and enjoy her creative designs.

Feel Better Reviews - Alex Puppet Set & Art Mats

This week, our family has been stuck inside with the flu.  The tough task is keeping my boys in bed and entertained.  I have a "sick basket" that I stock with coloring books, cards, games, and a few Power Rangers to help fight off germs. I even throw in a favorite stuffed animal and a light weight blanket. I stock our kitchen with "sick food" essentials like fruit popsicles, soups, mac n' cheese, crackers and juice.  I try and make the best of a bad situation.  Here are reviews on two of my favorite "stuck in the house" craft items.

ALEX PUPPET SET:

The Puppet set by Alex includes five colored bags, 260 colorful stickers, one chunky glue stick, punch outs and simple illustrated instructions. The suggested age range is 3 and up.  The set is available at Target for $10.49.

Our family loved this product, and it makes a wonderful gift.  My boys spent hours creating these puppets.  Then, they enjoyed putting on shows.  The quality is excellent, and the designs are bold, colorful and fun.  Bravo!

LAND OF NOD ART MATS:

Manage the mess of your budding artist with the Land of Nod art mats.  Even though my boys have a craft table in their room, they love to create on our dining room table.  Whether it's paint or play dough, they enjoying using these non-skid mats. I like that they keep the art off my table, and I can throw them in the dishwasher. The set includes a blue, red, green and yellow mat.  Combine with the puppet set (also available at Land of Nod) for a great gift!
