Frecklebox Review & Giveaway :)

By ·

CONTEST OVER! THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED!!! CONGRATS TO JDANIEL4SMOM, COMMENT #58!!!

Frecklebox

Seems like everyone is doing a review for Frecklebox, and I can see why. They are so neat! I love how you can personalize anything from a whole book to a lunch box, how neat!

I was sent the Personalized Book and Lunch box to review for my kids. It was sent very quickly and when I opened the box I was greeted with quality products. The personalized book is adorable, and how neat that it says my sons name throughout it? He felt so special hearing me say his name as I read it and me pointing out his name in the book. The personalized lunch box was for my daughter, because she LOVES to put things in boxes (so does my son). And to have it say her name on it is too cute! I am very happy with the personalized products I was sent to review and recommend them to anyone who is looking for a unique, fun gift for their children or even adults.

By ·

CONTEST IS OVER! Congrats to Audrey, comment #2!!!

icandy soaps

Everyone I think, loves soaps, right? But, wouldn’t it be even more special to send someone some wonderful soaps as a gift that was personalized by YOU? That is where icandy Soaps comes into the picture. Custom soaps that YOU design! It is also a unique and new, wonderful way to advertise your business! So, when I had the opportunity to review these soaps, of course I chose my “Shop with Me Mama” logo as my personalized picture to be on my soaps! I received them very quickly in the mail. I was sent two soaps, that are guest-sized natural glycerin soaps. Perfect for gift bags, goody bags or stocking stuffers!

icandy soaps

I am very impressed. When I got the soaps, I was happy to see that my logo was readable and clear. Not blurry or messy looking. It looks just like my logo on my business cards! I am very happy with the product and the quality of these soaps. What a neat way to get your business name out there, with a uniqueness that people will remember. I mean anyone can pass out a business card, but passing out a cute little soap with your logo on it? Ya, it would get my attention in a good way! Or if you are looking for that hard to find gift for someone you love, why not get them these little soaps with pictures of you and them on it? I love the idea, and know other will love it too!

Vivabox Review and a Coupon Code!!!

By ·

vivabox

A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to receive a Vivabox for review. What is Vivabox? It is a wonderful gift for anyone! You can choose from different themes, such as; Spa Massage, Spa Beauty, Tea Time, Gourmet to Your Door, Fragrance, Coffee Talk, Wine and Bar-b-que! So many wonderful themes to choose from, you cannot go wrong!

vivabox

More about what a Vivabox is (taken off their site):

More than a gift. An experience.
A vivabox is an exciting new product that combines the freedom of choice with the personal touch of a real gift. This two layered gift can be the answer to all of your gift giving dilemmas. The first layer is a gift inside the box that is intended to familiarize the recipient with the product. The second layer is the gift card that can be redeemed for their gift selection from a menu of choices.

vivabox

1. You Pick The Theme
Do you have an idea as to what type of gift someone would like? Select one of our themes that you think they would enjoy the most. This is the part that gives it a personal touch.

vivabox

2. They Try The Samples
They open the box and enjoy the gift inside. Depending on the box this could be a gift to try, taste or use and they all relate to the theme of the box.

vivabox

3. They Choose The Gift
After enjoying the first gift, the recipient visits this website and enters their card number. They will be taken through the redemption process where they choose their final present. This is where the freedom of choice happens.

vivabox

Result: You have given them a present they actually WANTED! The basic theme was chosen by you for a personal touch but the actual gift was customized by the recipient. This ensures that you have given what he or she will most enjoy. Plus, they got to experience the joy of receiving the perfect present for longer than ripping off the wrapping paper.

vivabox

How wonderful to be able to pick a theme for someone, have it delivered to them and still, they get to choose what they want! This is the neatest thing ever. I have not used my card yet, I received the Bar-b-que Vivabox and will be getting something yummy from Omaha Steaks!!!! I am excited to use it. It also came with great spices to use on whatever Omaha meat I decide to get! Or I can choose ethnic spices by Urban Accents! Very exciting!

A bit about Vivabox, taken off their site:

About Us
Vivabox history traces back to Belgium where entrepreneurs created a product that has the tangibility and immediate pleasure of a traditional gift, while retaining the flexibility of a gift card. Since its inception Vivabox has been an enormous success. They are now sold in Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Poland, Netherlands, Canada, Austria, and the United States of America. Vivabox was purchased by Sodexo Group in 2007 after entering the United States earlier that year.

Gift Elephant "She Remembers So You Don't Have To"

By ·

g

I came across this very new and exciting website called the “Gift Elephant“. It is a great website to help you organize and
keep track of gifts you have given, to whom, if you sent out a thank you card and more! Say goodbye to all of those annoying
post it notes and hello to Gift Elephant, the new “easy” way to remember these things!

First of all, it is completely FREE, ya major great thing! Secondly, it takes no time at all to set up an account and get started right away!

A bit about “Gift Elephant” and the people behind it (taken off their site):

The folks at Gift Elephant love to give (and receive!) gifts. But not so much to keep track of them. We could never remember
if we bought Bill a sweater for his birthday last year… or if our niece or nephew is the Harry Potter fan… or if we ever sent
Angela and David a thank you note.

So we created Gift Elephant, a simple site to:

Keep track of gifts given to friends, family, co-workers & clients
Remember who gave what for your birthday, holidays & wedding
Note individual gift preferences and gift ideas
Receive reminders for upcoming gift-giving occasions
Make sure you gift everyone in the family equally (eg. so all nephews get comparable presents)
Organize your thank you notes, and mail personalized postcards directly from the site
Will Gift Elephant change the world? Probably not. But, at the very least, we hope it removes some anxiety from the gifting
process.

And why “Gift Elephant“? Elephants have stellar memories and strong family bonds. Plus, elephants are cool.


Visit Gift Elephant today, and NEVER have one of those “opps, did I regift her gift back to her” moment again!

You can also find Gift Elephant on Twitter, follow them and share tweets!

Proactiv & Meaningful Beauty Reviews & Giveaway!

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO SUE ELLISON, COMMENT #108!!!

mp

This giveaway is to kick off the my Valentines Day Gift Guide, 2010!!! I will be having many giveaways from now until right before Valentines Day, so check back often!!!

SWMM

I was very fortunate to find Proactiv when I did, a few years ago. It has literally changed my life and my skin. Since finding Proactiv, I have been in a Proactiv commercial and have not stopped using it, I won’t stop using it. I love it! If you have acne, any kind, I highly recommend using or at least trying Proactiv Solutions to see if it is right for you.

p

I received the Proactiv Nourishing Eye Cream, Proactiv Clarifying Night Cream, Proactiv Green Tea Moisturizer and the Proactiv Replenishing Eye Serum. The nourishing eye cream is great. I love how quickly it absorbs under my eyes and does not leave any greasy residue. The Proactiv Clarifying Night Cream has so far been my absolute all time favorite product. I don’t know what it is, but when I use this, my face “plumps” up and the lines around my mouth seem to disappear. It moisturizes my face too and is not greasy, again it blends right in and it smells nice! The green tea moisturizer is for sensitive skin or red skin that needs some comfort. The replenishing eye serum is a light weight serum that blends quickly into your skin and leaves it feeling soft and supple. Love all the products I received.

p

Now onto Meaningful Beauty by Cindy Crawford. I received, Meaningful Beauty Daily Maintenance, Extreme moisture Mask and Meaningful Beauty Maintenance #2 Night Serum. LOVE LOVE LOVE Meaningful Beauty products, wow! First, I want to say that whatever is in the Daily and nightly maintenance lotions, is awesome! I actually use the maintenance night serum on top of the Proactiv clarifying night cream and it does do something, oh my goodness. My skin has never been so baby soft and clear in a long time. Not saying my skin is not clear, but these two used together, just wow! Love it!

m

Buy Them!
