2014 Gift Guide & 12 Giveaways!

It is that time again! In honor of Christmas my mom from 3 Partners in shopping and I are hosting a Gift Guide and some giveaways! 

1)

The First Item we have is perfect for children and parents alike to help create memories to read and share for years to come! I also thought that this was great for all the Olaf lovers out there! The My Magical Snowman Personalized Book from I see me is a perfect fit! Here is a link to my review: http://dealsharingaunt.blogspot.com/2013/08/i-see-me-review.html

Item Info:

My Magical Snowman is a heart-warming new personalized storybook that will make your child feel extra special this holiday! The magic all starts when forest creatures come together to build a special snowman friend just for your child. When your child reaches out for a hug, Snowman comes alive! Your child and Snowman sled, skate, make snow angels, laugh and play together in utter delight. Snowman tells your child that he or she is as "unique as a snowflake" and that your child’s love is the magic that fills up his heart. Written by award-winning author Jennifer Dewing, illustrated by artist Amy Schimler-Safford.

I love these books and they make great gifts!

2)

Next is along the same thought, but it is for adults to enjoy memories! Yournovel.com is an excellent gift for newlyweds, Valentine's day, or anniversaries. I have gotten a few of them and they are really nice. There is so much you can personalize. You can use nicknames, your favorite radio station, etc. What is really nice is that they have so many options to choose from. They have Bahamas. Paranormal, beaches, historical and more. Plus you get to decide if you want a wild or mild version!  Here is a link to my review: http://dealsharingaunt.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-magic-snow-globes-by-susie-taylor.html

The Magic Snow Globes by Susie Taylor 
is a personalized story about a very special Christmas gift, one that is priceless, timeless, selfless. The hero of our starring couple finds it unexpectedly. Actually, nearly everything about his finding it is unexpected. He hopes his lover will agree that it is special, even if it requires suspending disbelief and just going with the moment.
    She does, and the result is a wondrous, amazing journey through layers of reality and fantasy that teach them about life and each other while entertaining them with moments of delving into the unknown and carrying them through heights of passion that overwhelm them and take their breath away.
    This is really a sexy tale set around snippets of holiday scenes that brings with it a witty, charming sense of what a loving relationship is really about. It is a special gift you will enjoy giving and reading.
Plus you can add a photo to the cover!

3)
We also wanted to include a gift for really young kids. This clown is perfect! 

My Sister hand makes these and they are washable. They also come undressed (excerpt for the hat) so you can change their outfits. What I like about these is that my sister can personalize them. She made me a bride and groom for my wedding, and she can also make any characters ( Olaf, Disney Princess, Sports teams, Hair dressers, etc.). 

4) 

What about the guy on your list? That is always a tough one in my house too! What about candy?  How about if you personalize some M&Ms? That is not really a man cave gift either. 

So we thought about tools and how men never have enough hands for all their gadgets! We thought that this armband would help! See our review here: http://3partnersinshopping.blogspot.com/2014/11/armband-red-star-tec-ab701-iphone-5.html

5) 
For the person that has everything we thought that candy, cookies, hot chocolate etc., would be the best idea. 


6)
We also thought about the person that loves homemade items and we love to unwrap jewelry. Who doesn't?

7)
We also thought about the cook and baker! We have had people that love unwrapping our homemade crocheted kitchen towels!
