Jord Watches ~ Holiday Gift Guide ~ Giveaway

I am excited to have Jord watches in my Holiday Gift Guide. They are a beautiful crafted gift for anyone special in your life. I got my husband the dark sandalwood watch from the Fieldcrest line. The colors are gorgeous and the wood design makes it very unique.

They are handcrafted and simply gorgeous.  The wood  makes them light and comfortable.  My husband absolutely loved his gift.  The watch face is made of the same wood in a darker color.  The clasp is metal and makes it super easy to get on and off.

The watches come in a beautiful box that just make this the ultimate fancy present.  They include polish and everything you need to car for your handcrafted piece.

Doesn't it make him look handsome?  Whether relaxing at home or heading out for a night on the town he is accessorized and styling. 

There are so many great designs to choose from and choices for men and women.  I would love one for myself (hint, hint)!  So whether you need something for your husband, wife, mom or dad this is an easy no-brainer gift they are sure to love.

Hand-crafted wood timepieces. Raw material, refined design JORD is run by artists, designers, marketers, and minders. We spend our days creating, considering, arguing, and hopefully agreeing. Then we'll scrap it all for the joy of starting new. We have fun. This is our journey. We are focused on creating timepieces that are modeled after a modern lifestyle. We value sustainability, efficiency, and experiential living. 

We make our watches for people who don't just have somewhere to be, they have somewhere to go. The value of a watch is not in being able to tell how much time has passed, but in being aware of the need to make that time count. Moments are bigger than minutes and your watch should tell more than time.

Ozeri INSTAVAC Nesting Food Storage Container Set ~ Gift Guide

For my first Holiday Gift Guide item I would love to share the Ozeri INSTAVAC Nesting Food Storage Container Set.

Instant vacuum freshness without pumps, motors or confusing parts; Simply press down on the lid and air is forced out via the one-way valve.

Patented valve removes excess air to reduce naturally occurring bacteria; It also releases pressure to prevent spills and splatters in microwaves.

Wave pattern on bottom of each container keeps cut fruit and vegetables elevated from water and juices.
Handy date dial allows you to record when food was first stored and monitor days kept in the refrigerator.
BPA-free, stain-resistant, shatter-proof and as transparent as glass; Freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe; Satisfaction guaranteed.

One of my favorite features is how they all store inside of each other.  No more looking for lids or having piles of containers fall on your head!  I also love that not only are they dishwasher safe but they are microwave safe as well.  They have a little tab on top you can open for easy mess free microwaving.

These would make a great gift for almost anyone.  From college students to moms everyone can probably use a new efficient easy to use storage set.

They make great bowls too!  An easy way to get stuff from one place to another.  Since they vacuum in freshness they are perfect for storing fresh fruits and veggies for easy access.  The smallest container is the perfect size for taking a sandwich to work or on an outing.

Collage.com ~ Review and Giveaway!

Disclaimer:  I was not compensated for my review.  I was sent product in order to provide my honest opinion and all thoughts are my own.

Collage.com has recently added some great new products to its line and I got the opportunity to try them out with some of the wonderful pictures my family has taken this past year.  I love when I get the opportunity to actually use my pictures in unique ways and Collage.com has many different unique items.

The first item I ordered was the wrapping paper.  It is a six foot roll and can be customized with as many as 200 photos.  This was super easy to make especially if you have albums on your computer or facebook.  I decided to upload an entire album of summer pictures and I have to say I am in love with this paper.  It is almost too awesome to use.  My husband even wanted to frame a section of it but I know Grandma will be in awe when she gets a gift wrapped in this paper of memories.

The second item I selected was an 11x14 aluminum print.  I was very intrigued by this because I have several canvas prints on my wall but this was different.  I decided not to do a collage with this one and instead I took a single print of my boys and it is simply stunning.  It comes ready to hang you just need to put a nail in the wall and it sits very nicely.  This is a picture my sister took and it is adorable.  The quality is exceptional.  I chose to use the option to enhance the photo and it makes the colors brighter.

The last item I got to order was an ornament.  I wasn't sure what to do and finally chose to make us an ornament with a few of my favorite photos from our trip to Disney World.  I chose an oval design and did I free form layout where I positioned all the photos myself.  I think I chose a few too many photos but it is still cute and something I know we will enjoy looking at every year when we pull out the tree.  

I hope I got you excited about all the new products Collage.com has to offer.  The deadline to order for Christmas is December 10th so get those orders in!  If you check out their facebook page you can find out about all their promotional deals and great prices.

I am excited to be able to offer a giveaway as well.  Whoever wins is going to be a very lucky person because these are gifts you or a loved one will cherish forever.  Make sure to enter in the rafflecopter below!

Collage.com One-Click Photo Book ~ Review

If you are like me then I am assuming you have a ton of pictures-not printed but sitting in your phone, camera, or computer.  You always say you will do something with them but they are probably accumulating, by the hundreds.  If you have kids you know I am not even joking.

With my first child I think I printed 200 photos or more and put them in albums that first year and I love them.  By the second child I wanted to do this but it is definitely not a priority, just a wish.  I am very, very good though about uploading them to Facebook and putting them into albums on a regular basis.  This came in super handy when given the opportunity to make a couple of photo books at collage.com.

I loved how easy it was to just upload directly from Facebook.  I was able to select an album and then upload all the pics from that album.  I chose the easy route and had it place them all and then sorted from there.  Within 20 minutes I had my perfect photo book of our most recent vacation.

I love how they take all of the photos and make a collage on the cover.  I added a background to all the pages, a title, and voila!  My kids LOVE looking at it and it is perfect to take and show family.

I love how easily it fits on our bookshelf and they make even better gifts.  Grandma lives out of state and doesn't have a Facebook so sending her picture books of the kids is the perfect gift.

Right now you can make a large hardcover 20 page photo book for only $25 which is a steal.  Think about it.  By the time you pay to print photos, purchase a photo album and actually put those pictures in the album you have spent as much or more.  This is simple and you have a book that lasts forever.  I love the quality and had my book in my hands in about a week!

Valentine's Day/Birthday/Friday

I need to start out by saying I am not anti Valentines Day. As a matter of fact I love it. The way I have celebrated has changed over the years but I still think it is great to have a day that celebrates love. Love with your boyfriend, husband, kids, family. Just love. You have to understand that my Valentine's Day is different from most people. It is my husbands birthday. No matter what day it falls on, Tuesday, Wednesday,Friday, its HIS birthday. I feel bad for anyone that has a birthday on a holiday because you are instantly out shined. So for that Valentine's is not Valentine's day in our house it is Daddy's Birthday.

On that note I want to give a PSA to all guys out there. Yes its valentine's Day so you should buy your girl flowers and take her to dinner. But is it really special? Not to me. Its an I have to because its a holiday. So do it yes, but my real note to you is do it other times too. A random Tuesday in April or a Thursday in September. Pick a day out of the blue to celebrate your loved one. Not an anniversary, or birthday or groundhogs day. Just some random day.

I have gotten flowers at work on Valentines and it is wonderful to feel acknowledged.  I still have the first rose my husband gave me 15 years ago.  The true gifts though I remember the most and still cherish were given to me out of the blue.  A random gift given.  No pressure on you because its a holiday.  Buy tulips for her because its spring or orchids because they are in season.  Bring over take out from her favorite restaurant and enjoy together at home just because.  These special moments mean so much more then flowers on valentines day.

One more note to guys. Flowers at work are awesome!  It is thrilling when the delivery guy comes in and every girl is wondering if they are for her and then he calls out the name.  And ten girls are instantly depressed.  But if they are for you it is pure awesomeness!  If you want to really wow her though, be the guy that shows up to her house waiting for her to leave in the morning for work at 7:30 a.m.  Ring her door bell valentines morning with a bouquet in hand and her day will be awesome from that time on.  And you will get a kiss, a kiss like none other.  Special.  It is all about making it special.  Even if you live together instead of just bringing flowers home or having them delivered make sure YOU are the delivery man.  The eye contact, blushing and kiss that follows is worth that extra effort.  

***DO NOT BUY A LIGHT UP PLASTIC ROSE FROM THE GAS STATION.  THIS IS NOT VALENTINES ON ICE.

.
If you take anything away from this I hope it is that you buy her flowers. Valentines Day, March 14th, November 5th, Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday, just, because!  I know some guys need a harsh reminder thrown in their face but those sweet when evers mean more then anything else.  Trust me!  Wow your man/woman every day not just today.

Photo credit above is to be given to my friend Arwen Peszynski.  These are the beautiful flowers her wonderful man sent her today.  I hope everyone received a wonderful gift from a loved one today, flowers, food, a sweet embrace or just a simple I Love You!
