It's availabe in four different colours - blue, black, pink or white. Perfect for either hot or cold drinks.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you're purchasing a gift for someone who loves their beauty routines then a facial ice roller is a great idea (if they don't already have one). As well as being promoted as a beauty product this roller is also said to help with migraines and hot flashes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Any music-loving lady in your life is bound to love the Beats Solo2 Wireless On-Ear Headphones. These are perfect for wearing when at the gym, doing housework, walking the dog or just chilling on the couch at home. I, personally, would use them to listen to audible books while cooking and for listening to music while relaxing on the couch.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you know someone who loves to spend time in the kitchen then a fun appliance is always a great idea and this one is an OCD chopping board allowing your OCD to take over and create the perfect sized of just about anything you're cooking!</div><div><br /></div><div>Shower steamers are absolutely amazing. So many of us don't have time for a relaxing bath using essential oils or bubble bath while our essential oils aromatherapy diffuser is going so whoever came up with shower steamers deserves a medal. Pop these essential oil shower steamers into the shower and enjoy all your stress disappear as your quick shower turns into a mini spa. Who wouldn't love these? Another great idea with these is to get a box and break them open to pop in as stocking fillers or to add to spa-inspired baskets for various ladies.</div><div><br /></div><div>We're always being told to drink more, but sometimes the water tastes boring, introducing the infusion fruit infuser water bottle. A great gift idea for the woman on the go.</div><div><br /></div><div>Who doesn't like ice cream? Make your own cold rock style dessert in minutes with the Sweet Spot Ice Cream Maker. I think this would suit just about any woman on your gift list!</div><div><br /></div><div>Candles are always a lovely idea for a lady, I know I've received some lovely ones over the years.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you're buying for a lady that loves to travel then the Scratch Off World Map poster is an awesome gift idea that I think she'll really appreciate.</div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Wine Pearls - A Cool Gift Idea</h2><div>
<div>Idea number 19 is perfect if the woman you're buying for enjoys a nice glass of wine. Introducing <a href="http://amzn.to/2e7Igl8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wine Pearls</a> because there's nothing worse than enjoying a lovely glass of chilled Moscato or Rose and it warms up before you've finished it. Adding ice cubes to wine just doesn't work as it waters it down, wine pearls however are a great idea for keeping it chilled without any watering down of the wine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some people do suggest frozen grapes are a great way of keeping wine cool and I'll admit they can be great, but sometimes the grapes you have just don't suit the particular wine you're drinking so......</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If the woman you're buying for prefers some other cool beverage then these will work just as well in any drink. Check out my full review at <a href="http://www.reviewthisreviews.com/2017/02/wine-pearls-chilling-wine-in-style.html" target="_blank">Wine Pearls, Chilling Wine in Style</a>.</div>

<h3>Heated Gloves & Slippers</h3>
Now I don't know about the females in your life, but I do not like being cold so when I see the words heated before gloves and/or slippers I'm already thinking - Yes!<br />
<br />
The gift idea I featured above are Yeti USB Handwarmers and Footwarmers and I have to say I think they are absolutely gorgeous.<br />
<br />

This image above shows them off even better than the introduction image and I have to say that keeping warm never looked so cool!<br />
<h3>BONUS! Tool Sets for Women</h3>
<div>Now although we mentioned a pink cordless drill in the 20 gift ideas, I actually love the idea of giving a whole tool set so I just had to include this bonus idea. I don't think a woman needs 'special' tools in order to be handy, but I must admit I do love the look of the <a href="http://amzn.to/2doWheN" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">selection of pink tool kits for women</a> that are available these days. I also know that the way I treat tools and the way that my partner treats tools are very different so my own, special pink tool set seems to be a great idea.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I featured the <a href="http://amzn.to/2drAtuu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">pink cordless drill</a> above, but there are lots of different pink tool sets available which are sure to make your handywoman very happy!</div>

<h3>
Corkcicle Whiskey Wedge</h3>
<div>
This was designed with whiskey drinkers in mind, but to be honest I think it would be just as good for bourbon or tequila drinkers too. Now I haven't actually trialed this myself, but the idea behind it is really good.<br />
<br />

Now this includes a double old fashioned glass and a silicone ice form and basically it means you make an ice wedge to keep your drink cool. Now purists will ask how on earth this stops your whiskey from being watered down like ice cubes and it's basically about science.<br />
<br />
As the guys on the Big Bang Theory would tell you it takes longer for a large wedge of ice to melt than it would an ice cube. Of course it does melt so you may find the bottom part of your drink is a little watered down, but it's not nearly as bad as using ice cubes and it looks really, really cool!

<h3>
Converse Chuck Taylor's All Stars</h3>

USB Cufflinks</h3>

I think the reason why most of the men I know enjoy Bond movies or Mission Impossible is because they have a secret yearning to be a spy and to have some of the 'spy toys' from these movies.</div>

If you give them a pair of these USB cufflinks you're also giving them the type of secret agent 'toy' that Q could easily give 007 and I think that will be a big hit.</div>

Released in 2015 was the Monster High Fright-Mares collection, this doll collection comprised of ten different characters who are all half Centaur.
<br />
<br />
The ten dolls are Pyxis Prepstockings, Frets Quartzmane, Bay Tidechaser, Aery Evenfall, Fawntine Fallowheart, Skyra Bouncegait, Penepole Steamtail, Flara Blaze, Olympia Wingfield, Caprice Whimcanter, Leandra Dapplebrush, and Merry Trotabout.
<br />
<br />
They say that deep within the catacombs of Monster High are the dream pastures of the Fright-Mares. Fright-Mares are a hybrid of a nightmare and a monster and are created when an ordinary nightmare is caught in the place where dreams collide.
<br />
<br />
Fright-Mares deliver dreams to the monsters in the real world and can only communicate these dreams to the types of monsters they are crossed with. They also have the ability to change the path of a dream and luckily for the monsters at Monster High these Fright-Mares enjoy using their dream bending abilities for good.

It's hard to believe that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are still as popular now as they were when they first burst onto the scene during the 80s, but Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello have found a whole new audience who love their antics.<br />
<br />
This playset is a really awesome one as it features a 24" articulated Leonardo action figure, but it's also a complete Sewer Lair Playset - does it get much better than that?<br />
<br />
The answer, of course is YES!<br />
<br />
The set includes 30 different features such as false floors and a skate park. It also features 9 different rooms -<br />
<br />
Turtles' Living Room<br />
Slinter's Meditation Room<br />
Skate Park Half-Pipe<br />
Mikey's Rooom (that's Michelangelo for people who don't know the TMNTs that well!)<br />
Turtles' Dojo<br />
Lookout Tower<br />
Donnie's Workshop (aka Donatello)<br />
Computer Room<br />
Engertainment Room<br />
<br />
I just love the fact that Leonardo opens up to reveal all of this, talk about a fun idea. What could have made it better was if it came with action figures that could play inside the lair, but they are available to buy separately so at least that's something.<br />

Here's some pictures of the toy in action (remember that the action figures featured inside do not come with this playset, but you can purchase them separately - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R4N8CTM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00R4N8CTM&linkCode=as2&tag=lousblogs-20&linkId=T44MXMLTC7HKGFCR" rel="nofollow">right here</a>!

Barbie is another long term favorite of the holiday gift list and parents buying for their kids (heck even some grandparents I suspect) would probably remember wanting a Barbie dollshouse of their own at one time or another.<br />
<br />This Barbie dream house is a vision in pink (of course) and consists of three floors with a total of seven rooms AND a working elevator, an elevator in a Barbie dolls house makes me want to be a little girl again so that I can get one for Christmas myself!<br />
<br />The built-in garage has a door that realistically opens and closes by sliding a tab. The garage fits Barbie's coupe in perfectly as well.<br />
<br />Attached to the garage is a beautiful atrium window -- flip the window down, and it converts into a swimming pool, perfect for a fun pool party for Barbie and all of her friends!<br />
<br />The kitchen has been fitted out with sleek appliances and realistic cookware, even groceries so that Barbie can pop on her chef's hat and whip up some great meals for anyone who drops by.<br />
<br />The dining room features a table set for two so Barbie has a place to eat all those great meals she can make in her kitchen.<br />
<br />In the bathroom there's a sink/vanity and a luxe tub so that Barbie can relax before getting ready for a night out.<br />
<br />On the top floor she has a beautiful bedroom with a dramatic pink canopied bed that is just so what you'd imagine Barbie's bed to look like, it also features a walk-in closet with lots of space and a mirror to make sure she looks fabulous before going out for the day or night.<br />
<br />There's just so much to explore in Barbie's Dream House that you just know they'll be hours upon hours of fun to be had.<br />

<h3>
Lego Minecraft</h3>
<br />
Minecraft was a computer game that revolved around breaking and placing blocks, as my daughter showed me (a few years ago when she was caught in the 'Minecraft craze') you could build all kinds of structures. To me it sounded like a virtual Lego so I wasn't at all surprised when Lego Minecraft was introduced.
<br />
<br />
Now there is more to Minecraft than what I have said above, but what you need to know above all else is that it's captured our children's imagination in much the same way that Lego captured our imagination when we were younger and weren't nose deep in technology. Combining Lego and Minecraft was an ingenious idea and it's helped generations to come together in play and has proven to be very popular.
<br />
<br />
Here's a few of the Minecraft Lego available (I should mention that I haven't actually played with any of the range as my daughter was 'over' Minecraft when the Lego range was first released.

Another popular gift idea is to get something personalized, all age ranges seem to enjoy getting some specifically for them whether it's personalized with a photo or just there name. One place that has a range of products from photo cubes to Christmas ornaments, clothing to household goods is Zazzle. If you're after a personalized gift idea then I would <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/?rf=238559900758216397&tc=uniquegiftideas" rel="nofollow">click this link and go straight to Zazzle for inspiration</a>.

I love some of the great collectible Twilight dolls that are available and there are lots to choose from, but when I think of dolls the first name that springs to mind is Barbie. That's why I decided to dedicate this page to the Twilight Saga Barbie Collection of Dolls as opposed to all of the dolls that have been released to commemorate this popular vampire and werewolf saga.<br />
<br />
I was very happy to see in the last release of these dolls Esme, Carlise and Emmett dolls released, but the very first ones featured Bella, Edward, Jacob, Victoria and Alice - let's have a look at them all shall we?<br />

<h3>
Edward & Bella Barbie Dolls - Twilight's Favorite Couple</h3>
<br />
The first movie in the Twilight Saga was simply called Twilight and two of the first Twilight Barbies released were from that particular movie. Of course if they were only choosing two what characters could they be other than Edward and Bella.
<br />
<br />
We were first introduced to Bella Swan when she moved to Forks, Washington to live with her father. At Forks High School she first sets eyes on Edward Cullen and I can still see the look between them when Edward stops a car from crashing into her - the love affair for our generation is about to begin.
<br />

This doll is a pink label doll and is dressed in Bella's sensible no-nonsense fashion. Let's face it Bella is far from what my daughter would call a 'girly girl'!<br />
<div style="clear: both; font-size: 0;">

Not only does this pink label doll have the brown/red spiky hair that Edward made famous in the first movie and the fashions he was wearing, but there is also glitter on his head and chest which I think is a really cool touch.<br />

<h3>
Jacob Black Doll - A New Moon Inspired Barbie Doll</h3>
<br />
Jacob Black had a fairly small part in the original movie, but when it was time for the second movie in the series Jacob had grown up and he proceeded to spend an inordinate amount of time topless - something girls around the world (young and old) found great pleasure in!
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Barbie-Collector-Twilight-Saga-Jacob/dp/B002LNEIES?tag=lousblogs-20" rel="nofollow" style="color: inherit; display: inline-block; float: left; margin: 1.5%; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top; width: 150px;" target="_blank" title="Barbie Collector Twilight Saga New Moon Jacob Doll"><span class="prthmb" style="-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 3px; border: solid 1px #888888; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: 150px; margin-bottom: 3px; overflow: hidden; width: 150px;"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41D8n4B%2BwzL.jpg" height="500" style="border: 0; height: 100%; max-width: none; width: auto;" width="166" /></span><span class="prnme" style="color: black; display: block; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 3px 0;">Barbie Collector Twilight Saga Jacob Doll</span><img class="prbtn" src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Amazon1.png" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></a><br />
It should come as no surprise that this Jacob doll should be shirtless and it really makes me think of a line from Eclipse where he tells Edward, "I'm hotter than you" - I know when I was in the movie theater it erupted in laughter at that line!<br />

<h3>
Alice & Jane Dolls - Twilight Eclipse Barbie Dolls</h3>
<br />
The last two dolls released in 2010 were based on the third film in the series - Eclipse. Alice Cullen, Bella's best friend and Edward's sister was a welcome addition to the Twilight dolls collection.
<br />
<br />
The second doll was based on the character of Victoria which meant we now had a villain to add to the collection and I must say she looks beautiful with the cascading red hair and totally looks the part that was brought to life by Bryce Dallas Howard.
<br />
<br />

Alice always manages to exude glamour and looks like she could've just stepped off of a magazine cover and this doll manages to capture that beautifully.<br />

<h3>
Jane Doll - A Twilight Eclipse Barbie</h3>
<br />
Jane is a member of the Volturi which is like Vampire Royalty and we're introduced to her in the Eclipse movie where we find she can inflict pain with her mind.
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Barbie-Collector-Twilight-Saga-Eclipse/dp/B0042ESF4I?tag=lousblogs-20" rel="nofollow" style="color: inherit; display: inline-block; float: left; margin: 1.5%; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top; width: 150px;" target="_blank" title="Barbie Collector Twilight Saga Eclipse Jane Doll"><span class="prthmb" style="-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 3px; border: solid 1px #888888; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: 150px; margin-bottom: 3px; overflow: hidden; width: 150px;"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31oCI2iXcAL.jpg" height="500" style="border: 0; height: 100%; max-width: none; width: auto;" width="262" /></span><span class="prnme" style="color: black; display: block; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 3px 0;">Barbie Collector Twilight Saga Eclipse Jane Doll</span><img class="prbtn" src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Amazon1.png" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></a><br />
Jane was brought to life by the talented actress Dakota Fanning in the movies.<br />
<br />
I like the fact that this doll has red eyes like Jane as I was worried they'd get this detail wrong.<br />

<h3>
Edward and Bella Dolls</h3>
<h2>
Bride & Groom Dolls from the Twilight Wedding!</h2>
<br />
In the fourth movie of the saga we finally see Edward and Bella get married and so when we heard that two dolls were being released from this movie we just knew that they would be based on the wedding and we were right!
<br />
<br />

Here comes the bride! When these two say until death do us part half of the audience didn't realize quite how long that was expected to be!<br />
<br />
The dress on this doll is a replica of Bella's wedding dress in the movie, this doll is even wearing Bella's engagement ring!<br />

Waiting patiently for his bride to walk down the aisle is Edward in his gorgeous wedding tuxedo and looking very suave and sophisticated.<br />
<br />
These dolls aren't just for Barbie collectors, but are must haves for any Twilight fan I believe.<br />

It's hardly a surprise that Rosalie should be debuted as part of the Breaking Dawn Part II release as she really comes into her own when she supports Bella's right to carry a baby to term and you can imagine her being a very protective aunt to Renesmee.<br />

<br />
This set of two dolls is a beautiful addition to the Twilight Saga Barbie Collection. Officially Edward wasn't released on his own, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009F7OQY0/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B009F7OQY0&linkCode=as2&tag=lousblogs-20&linkId=IQMXFEDWSWD6DSKT" rel="nofollow">although Bella was</a>, I have, however, seen him available on his own through ebay.
<br />
<br />
Personally I think a set of two is a great way to get these dolls and as the movies are all over it's a lovely momento to have whether you usually collect barbies or not.

<h3>Carlisle & Esme Dolls</h3>
<h2>Ma & Pa Cullen as Barbie Dolls!</h2>

I was so happy to see both Carlisle and Esme brought to life as barbie dolls, I'd actually wondered if it was ever going to happen! Carlisle is the head of the Cullens and the adoptive father of Edward, Emmett, Alice, Rosalie & Jasper and husband to Esme - he's also a doctor which makes for easier access to a blood bank although he (and his family) usually feed on animal blood.

I must admit I do constantly change my mind over my favorite, but since the last release when we finally had a Carlisle, Esme and Emmitt that big bear of a Cullen Emmitt has been my favorite doll!

Marilyn Monroe dolls are a popular collector's item as people continue to be fascinated by the iconic 50s blonde bombshell that died far too early. Marilyn Monroe encompasses the glitz and glamor of early Hollywood and her death while she was still at the peak of her career has turned her into even more of a pop culture icon.
<br />
<br />
These Marilyn Monroe dolls are dressed in outfits like ones she made famous or outfits that embody what Marilyn stood for. Famous not just for her acting and modelling, but some of her memorable quotes. Marilyn Monroe's death was surrounded by controversy because of her affairs with both Bobby and John F Kennedy. I wonder if the little girl born Norma Jeane Mortenson could have envisaged having a single doll made in her image let alone all of these featured......and more besides.

<h3>

This gorgeous looking Marilyn doll is based on an Awards ceremony that she attended in 1951, as you can see she obviously stole the show with this exquisite black dress. The doll even comes with it's own matching bag!

Yet another Barbie doll inspired by the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, this Marilyn Monroe doll is based on the song that Marilyn sang in the movie - Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend. This song has been covered by many singers since, most well known is probably the Madonna version where she also copied the dress.<br />
<br />This Marilyn Monroe doll not only wears the pink satin dress with the bow it is also accessorised with two rhinestone bracelets, a rhinestone necklace and ear-rings - Marilyn Monroe glam!<br />

<h3>
The Seven Year Itch Doll</h3>
<h2>
A Classic Marilyn Monroe Doll</h2>
<br />
One of the most famous scenes that are associated with Marilyn Monroe comes from the movie The Seven Year Itch where Marilyn wears a white halter neck dress and stands over a grill that causes her dress to lift up. This image is on popular Marilyn Monroe posters and is also being recreated by this Barbie doll.
<br />
<br />
As well as the iconic white dress this Marilyn Monroe doll also wears some beautiful faux pearl ear-rings. An absolutely stunning rendition of the scene from the 1955 movie.

<h3>
1993 Marilyn Monroe Collector's Series</h3>
<h2>
Gorgeous Marilyn Monroe Dolls</h2>
<br />
There were apparently 6 dolls created in the Marilyn Monroe Collector's Series. All of the dolls seek to embrace the glamor that Marilyn brought to Hollywood, but they aren't recreations of movies or posters that have made her famous.
<br />
<br />
Marilyn is decked out in blue, emerald green, sizzling silver as well as fur in these opulent looking dolls.....

<h3>
Happy Birthday Mr President Doll</h3>
<br />
This Marilyn Monroe doll is inspired by the gown that Marilyn Monroe wore when she sang Happy Birthday to President John F Kennedy just 3 months before her death in 1962.
<br />
<br />
Marilyn's breathless rendition of Happy Birthday was actually to be her last public appearance.

If you love the Disney Princesses (and who doesn't really), then you will adore the idea behind the Disney Princess Birthday Train which is basically an excuse to give/receive a Disney Princess 'treasure' every year for 10 years. I really wish that this had been available when my daughter was born and I'm wondering if it's okay to give retroactively?!
<br />
<br />
Artist Sam Butcher is behind the Precious Moment's Disney Princess Birthday Train set and I must say it's absolutely beautiful and ideal to buy for a newborn little girl. The 10 pieces can be given over 10 years and the entire set makes a great collectible which can be cherished for years to come.
<br />
<br />
The first in the Disney Princess Parade Set is to be given to celebrate the birth of a special little princess and then each next piece is for her birthdays from her first to her sixth. Let's have a look at each piece. These can be brought as a set or individually.
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Hail to the Princess - Prince Charming on Horseback</h3>
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Precious-Moments-Disney-Princess-Figurine/dp/B004IAKP5I?tag=lousblogs-20" rel="nofollow" style="color: inherit; display: inline-block; float: right; margin: 1.5%; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top; width: 200px;" target="_blank" title="Precious Moments 'Hail to the Princess' Ornament"><span class="prthmb" style="-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 3px; border: solid 1px #888888; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 3px; overflow: hidden; width: 200px;"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41LCqqN29QL.jpg" height="451" style="border: 0; height: auto; margin: 4.9% 0; max-width: none; width: 100%;" width="500" /></span><span class="prnme" style="color: black; display: block; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 3px 0;">Precious Moments 'Hail to the Princess' Ornament</span><img class="prbtn" src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Amazon1.png" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></a><br />
The first piece in the set features Prince Charming on a white horse with a sign that reads 'Hail to the Princess' and is meant to herald the birth of a gorgeous little princess. It is made of resin and is 5 ¾" high, it also has a chain attached ready for the next ornament in the collection to be added to as the 7 pieces join together to form a 'train'.<br />
<br />
The little prince on a fairytale inspired white horse just looks so cute and it's a great way to herald the birth of a princess don't you think? The British royal family simply posts birth notices on a wooden easel outside of Buckingham Palace - an announcement on horseback seems much more fitting in my opinion!!<br />

<h3>
Happy 1st Birthday</h3>
<h2>
Snow White Sends Her Congratulations</h2>
<br />
The second piece in this very regal set features Snow White in a carriage with the number 1 on the side signifying a special first birthday for the special princess. The first birthday is always so significant that it's nice to be able to give something that can be kept and cherished over the years.
<br />

Also made of resin (as are all of these figurines), the Snow White figurine stands at 5" tall.<br />
<br />
As you can see Snow White also has a clasp to be attached to the chain from Prince Charming and her own chain waiting to be attached to the second birthday offering which is....<br />

<h3>
Happy 2nd Birthday - Celebrate With Cinderella</h3>
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Precious-Moments-Bibbidi-Cinderella-Figurine/dp/B004IAMDQ2?tag=lousblogs-20" rel="nofollow" style="color: inherit; display: inline-block; float: right; margin: 1.5%; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top; width: 200px;" target="_blank" title="Precious Moments Cinderella Age 2 Ornament"><span class="prthmb" style="-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 3px; border: solid 1px #888888; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 3px; overflow: hidden; width: 200px;"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51skgmoUlxL.jpg" height="442" style="border: 0; height: auto; margin: 5.800000000000001% 0; max-width: none; width: 100%;" width="500" /></span><span class="prnme" style="color: black; display: block; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 3px 0;">Precious Moments Cinderella Age 2 Ornament</span><img class="prbtn" src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Amazon1.png" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></a><br />
The beautiful Cinderella graces us for birthday number two. A truly magical figurine that stands at 4 ¼" high, the little 'train' is looking a bit longer now and looks great on a shelf in any little girl's bedroom. I really wish I'd seen this set when my god daughter was younger as it would've looked great in her room.<br />
<br />
You really do need the whole set (in my opinion anyways), but if you were just buying one then Cinderella would be right up there for me as she was always my favorite princess when growing up. Now knowing 2 year old girls you probably want to keep this up out of touch so that they can look at it, but not play or there's no way it'll last through until their adults!<br />

Happy 3rd Birthday - Princess Aurora Sends Her Best Wishes</h3>

Sleeping Beauty herself - otherwise known as Princess Aurora joins the Disney Princess Parade Train to wish you a happy third birthday and also to tell you to be careful of needles and strange women who live in towers!<br />
<br />
I do love the fact that two fairy godmothers are incorporated into this gorgeous figurine as I think it just adds a certain something - what do you think?<br />

The Little Mermaid Hopes You Make a Splash This Year!</h2>

Disney Princess Ariel, otherwise known as the Little Mermaid was always my eldest niece's favorite Disney Princess and here she is to wish some lucky girl a very happy 4th birthday.

Like the other Disney Princesses, Ariel comes complete with a chain to attach to the other figurines in the set.<br />

When sitting on her carriage flanked by her best friends Sebastian and Flounder Ariel (aka The Little Mermaid) measures 4" in height.<br />

Princess Belle from the fairytale Beauty and the Beast is the Disney Princess charged with wishing a little girl a very happy 5th birthday with a beautiful red rose in her hand.<br />
<br />
This might be your special little girl's first gift of a flower ....... even if it does seem (to her) that the gift is actually coming from Belle!<br />

Happy 6th Birthday</h3>
<h2>
Tinker Bell Brings Fairy Greetings to this Special Day</h2>
<br />
Six is a special age for many young children as it often signifies time to start school when they're going to think they're all grown up. It makes sense that Tinkerbell should be the person to wish them a happy birthday at a time when they feel they're now a 'big girl' as Tinkerbell's best friend Peter Pan never grew up to be a 'big boy'.
<br />

Tinker Bell offered to lend the Disney Princesses a hand with doling out birthday greetings, in fact she insisted, she does so hate how little girls grow up so quickly and wanted to see how beautiful your little girl was when she was six!<br />
<br />
I do like Tinkerbell although I think that she could've been in charge of a Disney Fairies birthday parade train instead ....... I could see her bossing around organizing a 'train' of figurines.<br />

Happy 7th Birthday</h3>

Rapunzel Hopes You Have a Great Day!</h2>
<br />
Rapunzel is busy brushing her hair so that it looks absolutely perfect for the special occasion that's your seventh birthday!

I think my god daughter would've loved an ornament of Rapunzel when she was younger as she loved, loved, loved having long hair, there was no way anyone was allowed to cut it. Her hair was also thick and curly and she (surprisingly for her age) loved to brush it. These days she's a teen with short hair, but I'll always remember when she was our own little Rapunzel!<br />
<br />
I do love the gorgeous pale purple colored gown that Rapunzel is wearing on this ornament, it's a color that is popular with a large number of 7 year old girls which makes it perfect here.<br />

In order to celebrate a special person turning 8 Jasmine has decided to ride in a birthday train carriage instead of on her magic carpet just so that she can pass on her birthday wishes in style!<br />

Princess Jasmine will make sure that you have a great birthday even if you don't have a magic carpet - you have something even better - your imagination!<br />

Piggy Banks are cool because they teach us to save as children, but piggy banks aren’t just for children – I have one too! Well actually mine got broken last time we moved and I’ve had to resort to using a jar, but a new one is on my Christmas list ………. I call mine my ‘girls night out fund’, because let’s face it we could all do with a girls night out occasionally – well the girls can anyway.<br />
<br />
My hubby also saves his coins for his ‘boys trip away’ which used to be a long weekend of fishing, but over the years has somehow morphed into a whole week – hmmm! Whatever you save for a piggy bank is a great idea that’s not just for kids, although the cutest piggy banks are usually designed for children.<br />

Money Banks for Kids</h3>
<h2>
Teach Them To Save NOW!</h2>
<br />
It's never too young to teach your children the value of saving as as children are very visual a fun looking money box is a great way to engage their interest.

This cute money box has both a digital display showing how much money they have in there as well as a transparent bottom part so that they can see their coins building up. Along with a cute almost kawaii-esque piggy face, this is a money box that will look great in their bedroom as well as teaching them about saving.<br />

Now this makes a cute statement, it's bright and fun looking that I'm sure children will simply fall in love with. You don't see the money building up, but you can shake it and feel the weight. There's no digital display telling you how much you have in there, but to be honest I used to enjoy counting up my money and being surprised by how much I'd saved as a child.<br />

This is a friendly talking piggy bank that also keeps a digital tally. Although I liked not knowing how much, but daughter loved having a digital tally on hers, although I'll warn you she would keep emptying it if I didn't keep an eye on her, just so she could watch the display go up as she put the coins back in!<br />

<h3>
Let Your Children Make Their Own Piggy Banks</h3>
<h2>
A Fun Family Activity</h2>
<br />
When I was younger we used to make our own piggy banks – yes I like a pig money bank because that’s what a piggy bank should be!! All that we needed was a balloon, newspaper, glue and plaster of paris. Add a little creativity and a knife and we had awesome money banks that were as safe as……..well banks!
<br />
<br />
We used our piggy banks to save up for our spending money for our family holiday – mum and dad would buy us both one ice cream a day and if we wanted any souvenirs or extra ice creams etc we had to save up for it.
<br />
<br />
Just before going on holiday we said our goodbyes to our piggy banks and then smashed them up to get at the money inside!
<br />
<ol>
<li>Blow up a balloon</li>
<li>Make up a flour and water paste, start with one cup of each</li>
<li>Tear newspapers up into strips</li>
<li>Dip the strips of newspaper into the paste and cover the balloon - just a couple of layers will do.</li>
<li>Get some Plaster of Paris powder and mix it with water - 2 parts Plaster of Paris, 1 part water.</li>
<li>Cut the feet and snout out of egg cartons and glue them on.</li>
<li>Over the balloon, 'feet' and 'snout' with the Plaster of Paris mix - this gives you a nice smooth finish.</li>
<li>Looking at instructions online for making these piggy banks I couldn't find any that used the combination of these two methods, but they all talk about cutting the hole in the top. My dad always made sure he laid the paper mache and then the Plaster of Paris in a way that you could see the balloon through a 'slot'. I can remember a few times when he would whip off a piece of paper that my brother or I put on and make us place it elsewhere so it wasn't over the money slot!</li>
<li>It needs to dry, I would imagine at least overnight - then it's time to pop the balloon. Read the instructions on the Plaster of Paris to see how long before you can decorate it. We used marker pens on ours and made different designs every year.</li>
</ol>

<h3>
Why Piggy Banks & Not Money Boxes?</h3>
<br />
I grew up calling my money box/money bank/money tin or whatever name you would like to call it a piggy bank, by why? Well that was just what everyone used to call them whether they were cute little pigs or a tin shaped like an old fashioned bank!
<br />
<br />
The reason for the name dates back centuries all the way back to the Middle Ages in Britain. Way back then metal was an expensive commodity, we hadn’t had the industrial revolution yet and didn’t know how to mass produce the likes of steel etc. What does that have to do with piggy banks? Well the pots and pans that were used to cook with were made of a type of clay material which was called pygg (pronounced the same as pig).
<br />
<br />
This pygg was also used to make plates for eating off of and jars for storing food in. Housewives back then would pop any extra coin that they could save into one of their clay jars (just as they descendants would continue to do to this day) and they would refer to it as their pygg bank.
<br />
<br />
As English is wont to pygg bank got bastardised and became piggy bank. Now we have to fast forward a few hundred years to the 1800s. Do you ever talk to your children about ‘in Grandma’s day,’ or have your parents talk to your children about, ‘when my grandma was younger,’ ? Well I think this is something that has always been discussed and I can imagine someone saying well your grandmother always said that her grandma had a piggy bank and eventually someone requested a piggy bank from an English potter.
<br />
<br />
This piggy bank request resulted in money banks that were shaped like a pig which proved to be extremely popular and continues to be popular in this millennium as well.
<br />
<br />
So there you have it – if potters knew their history we might never have been given piggy banks and that would’ve been a shame don’t you think.
<br />

<br/>
<br/>
Babies are great, but it can be so hard to think about what to buy for them......especially if you don't have children yourself or you're a first time parent.
<br/>
<br/>
The problem with babies is that they can't tell you what they really want or give you a list. With this list here, hopefully you'll be able to make an informed decision and get the best baby gift for the baby in your life.
<br/>
<br/>
<h3>Sophie the Giraffe</h3>
<h2>A Great Baby Toy</h2>
<br/>
One of my daughter's favorite soft toys when she was really little was a soft giraffe that she received. Her little fingers were able to grasp hold of her giraffe by it's legs or neck and then the poor thing would get chewed on, although there were also lots of hugs.
<br/>
<br/>
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vulli-The-Original-Sophie-Giraffe-Teether/dp/B000SOG7BY?tag=lousblogs-20" style="float:left;color:inherit;display:inline-block;text-decoration:none;text-align:center;margin:1.5%;vertical-align:top;width:200px" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Vulli-The Original Sophie The Giraffe Teether Toy"><span style="-moz-box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:200px;height:200px;margin-bottom:3px;overflow:hidden;border:solid 1px #888888;border-radius:3px" class="prthmb"><img height="500" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41tb8ADRz2L.jpg" width="500" style="max-width:none;border:0;height:auto;width:100%"></span><span style="display:block;color:#000000;font-size:12px;line-height:1.1;font-family:arial;margin:3px 0" class="prnme">Vulli-The Original Sophie The Giraffe Teether Toy</span><img src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/29.png" style="height:auto;max-width:100%" class="prbtn"></a><p>Sophie the Giraffe is sure to become one of your baby's favorite toys as well. Unlike my daughter's giraffe (which was pastels in color) Sophie contains dark contrasting spots which are great to help with visual recognition.</p><p>Sophie's body contains a squeaker (although the very young babies probably won't discover that at first). When baby grows and 'discovers' this squeaker it helps them to follow cause and effect learning......and I bet you thought it was all about playing :)</p><p>The best thing about Sophie is that she is completely safe for baby to chew!</p><p style="clear:both;font-size:0;"> </p>
<br/>
<br/>
<h3>Building Blocks</h3>
<h2>Great Baby Toys</h2>
<br/>
My daughter also loved her building blocks, she wasn't too keen on her wooden blocks when she was a baby, however preferring some fabric ones she had, like these -
<br/>
<br/>
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bright-Starts-Grab-Stack-Blocks/dp/B004G8QSYO?tag=lousblogs-20" style="float:left;color:inherit;display:inline-block;text-decoration:none;text-align:center;margin:1.5%;vertical-align:top;width:200px" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Bright Starts Grab and Stack Blocks Toy"><span style="-moz-box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:200px;height:200px;margin-bottom:3px;overflow:hidden;border:solid 1px #888888;border-radius:3px" class="prthmb"><img height="500" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51XQ7vjaUBL.jpg" width="500" style="max-width:none;border:0;height:auto;width:100%"></span><span style="display:block;color:#000000;font-size:12px;line-height:1.1;font-family:arial;margin:3px 0" class="prnme">Bright Starts Grab and Stack Blocks Toy</span><img src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/29.png" style="height:auto;max-width:100%" class="prbtn"></a><p>I think one of the reasons she like them was that they were soft - she would often chew on them (teething!), she could stack them or sometimes just wave one around and listen to it rattle before giggling and then shaking it again before she would have a giggle fit unable to stop herself - the sound was adorable!</p><p>As a mom I also preferred to see her play with soft blocks when she was this age as she often hit herself with them which could have been a little nasty with the corners of a wooden block!</p><p style="clear:both;font-size:0;"> </p>
<br/>
<br/>
<h3>Activity Mats</h3>
<h2>A Great Baby Toy</h2>
<br/>
When my daughter was a baby we brought an activity mat that was a rectangular shape which could convert into a tunnel as she started growing. It was a great mat, but when visiting another friend who had a square shaped mat with the arches coming in from all four corners I swore that if I had another baby I would buy that type of mat. Like this one I've featured below -
<br/>
<br/>
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Rainforest-Melodies-Lights-Deluxe/dp/B000FFL58Q?tag=lousblogs-20" style="float:left;color:inherit;display:inline-block;text-decoration:none;text-align:center;margin:1.5%;vertical-align:top;width:200px" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies and Lights Deluxe Gym"><span style="-moz-box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:200px;height:200px;margin-bottom:3px;overflow:hidden;border:solid 1px #888888;border-radius:3px" class="prthmb"><img height="334" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/510Uo1pAHlL.jpg" width="500" style="max-width:none;border:0;height:auto;width:100%;margin:16.6% 0"></span><span style="display:block;color:#000000;font-size:12px;line-height:1.1;font-family:arial;margin:3px 0" class="prnme">Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies and Lights Deluxe Gym</span><img src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/29.png" style="height:auto;max-width:100%" class="prbtn"></a><p>Why buy a square activity mat? Well initially babies will just lie there and play with things that are hanging down, but then they start moving around (usually just in one direction) and if you have a square mat you won't have to listen to them scream when they've turned themselves around and are no longer able to play with anything hanging down!!</p><p>The different hanging toys can be moved around and baby can also enjoy tummy time hitting the different pictures on the mat.</p><p>I have since seen a couple of really cool round mats and these would be just as good, in fact one that I saw seemed to have more padding on it, I just can't remember the brand off the top of my head.</p><p style="clear:both;font-size:0;"> </p>
<br/>
<br/>
<h3>Stacking Toys</h3>
<h2>Great Baby Toys</h2>
<br/>
Stacking toys are always a hit with babies whether you get the rubber rings that go over a pole, a wooden toy or this fantastic 'soft' stacker.
<br/>
<br/>
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Plush-Rainbow-Stacker/dp/B000VNXTJA?tag=lousblogs-20" style="float:left;color:inherit;display:inline-block;text-decoration:none;text-align:center;margin:1.5%;vertical-align:top;width:200px" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Melissa & Doug Plush Rainbow Stacker"><span style="-moz-box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:200px;height:200px;margin-bottom:3px;overflow:hidden;border:solid 1px #888888;border-radius:3px" class="prthmb"><img height="500" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41N2BItW5gL.jpg" width="326" style="max-width:none;border:0;height:100%;width:auto"></span><span style="display:block;color:#000000;font-size:12px;line-height:1.1;font-family:arial;margin:3px 0" class="prnme">Melissa & Doug Plush Rainbow Stacker</span><img src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/29.png" style="height:auto;max-width:100%" class="prbtn"></a><p>The reason I like this stacker is because it makes noises, it's also colorful.</p><p>My daughter loved all of her stacking toys, but the musical ones were the ones that she preferred to play with.</p><p>Your baby will soon learn the different sounds and will learn the order in which s/he is supposed to hear them. Stacking toys really help with their development a lot and as it's made from fabric.......yes you've guessed it, it's great for chewing on when they're teething :)</p><p style="clear:both;font-size:0;"> </p>
<br/>
<br/>
<h3>Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo</h3>
<h2>A Great Baby Toy</h2>
<br/>
Now my daughter never had one of these, but I've since seen friend's children play with them and they are definitely a great toy.
<br/>
<br/>
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-K6070-Rainforest-Jumperoo/dp/B000LXQVA4?tag=lousblogs-20" style="float:left;color:inherit;display:inline-block;text-decoration:none;text-align:center;margin:1.5%;vertical-align:top;width:200px" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo"><span style="-moz-box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:200px;height:200px;margin-bottom:3px;overflow:hidden;border:solid 1px #888888;border-radius:3px" class="prthmb"><img height="500" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RHuKEyzVL.jpg" width="395" style="max-width:none;border:0;height:100%;width:auto"></span><span style="display:block;color:#000000;font-size:12px;line-height:1.1;font-family:arial;margin:3px 0" class="prnme">Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo</span><img src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/29.png" style="height:auto;max-width:100%" class="prbtn"></a><p>Once the baby can sit upright unassisted this toy will bring countless fun allowing your baby to work on their motor skills. The baby can move and jump around which develops her/his large motor skills.</p><p>The Rainforest Jumperoo also has a range of rainforest toys for baby to grab and play with which will help his/her fine motor skills. The use of different textures, colors and sounds make the Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo a veritable adventure packed playtime for your baby every time s/he is in it.</p><p>If you click on the amazon button or the image of the toy you'll be able to read other people's reviews as well as more details on the toy.</p><p style="clear:both;font-size:0;"> </p>

<h3>Baby Einstein Takealong Tunes - A Great Baby Toy</h3>
<br/>
My daughter loved anything to do with music and this Takealong Tunes by Baby Einstein is very similar to a toy that she would love to take in the car with her. It helps with music appreciation (although as a parent it can become tedious, but that's the price you pay) and your baby should love it.

<h3>Mirror - A Great Baby Toy</h3>
<br/>
Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest baby of all.....why it's yours of course! I always think babies are vain as they love to look in the mirror, but of course it's not really vanity as they think they've found a new friend!
<br/>
<br/>

You're full of questions, aren't you, well this baby mirror is made on a triangle of fabric which means it can stand up on it's own. It is also soft.......my daughter hit herself with her mirror on more than one occasion and although it didn't faze her as a mum I'd definitely buy a soft one if I had my time over.</p><p style="clear:both;font-size:0;"> </p>

<h3>Baby Einstein DVDs</h3>
<h2>Great Baby Toys</h2>
<br/>
Talking of Baby Einstein I was first introduced to the company by their dvd's.......well actually it was VHS, but anyway I found them to be excellent.
<br/>
<br/>
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/BABY-EINSTEIN-ENTIRE-DVD-COLLECTION/dp/B00478F2PE?tag=lousblogs-20" style="float:left;color:inherit;display:inline-block;text-decoration:none;text-align:center;margin:1.5%;vertical-align:top;width:200px" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="BABY EINSTEIN ENTIRE DVD COLLECTION 12 IN ALL"><span style="-moz-box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:200px;height:200px;margin-bottom:3px;overflow:hidden;border:solid 1px #888888;border-radius:3px" class="prthmb"><img height="350" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41z54PB97oL.jpg" width="320" style="max-width:none;border:0;height:100%;width:auto"></span><span style="display:block;color:#000000;font-size:12px;line-height:1.1;font-family:arial;margin:3px 0" class="prnme">BABY EINSTEIN ENTIRE DVD COLLECTION 12 IN ALL</span><img src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/29.png" style="height:auto;max-width:100%" class="prbtn"></a><p>Baby Einstein DVDs can be excellent for introducing the baby to colors, language and music along with a range of other things. The initial ones such as Baby Bach and Baby Mozart run for only 20 minutes and keep the baby entertained really well. A friend of mine used her DVD when her baby wouldn't settle and it worked a treat.</p><p>Parents can use the DVDs in two ways - they can interact with baby while watching it together or they can pop baby in their rocker to watch it while they take a coffee break.......my daughter watched her DVD once a day and as much as I loved her I looked forward to my 20 minute coffee break :)</p><p style="clear:both;font-size:0;"> </p>

<h3>Balls</h3>
<h2>Great Baby Toys</h2>
<br/>
Of course balls in all shapes and sizes are awesome presents.......I brought my daughter her first ball when I was still pregnant.
<br/>

<br/>
<br/>
This article used to be published on a different platform and received a lot of comments including a number of people exalting the virtues of the Rainforest Jumperoo, the only toy that my daughter didn't have, here are a few things that they said -
<br/>
<br/>
"The rainforest jumperoo is a winner, our wee one loved the thing!!!"
<br/>
<br/>
"Rainforest Jumperoo was a big hit for my little guy."
<br/>
<br/>
"My sons are 1 and 2, we have a few of these toys, but their favorite is the jumperoo."
<br/>
<br/>

Gifts for Doctor Who Fans</h3>

My middle niece (and goddaughter) is an avid Doctor Who fan which led me to looking for a variety of <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/7704732/type/dlg/sid/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkgeek.com%2Fproduct%2Fiqgv%2F/http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/doctorwho/?icpg=HP_BrandLogos_Top_Color_DoctorWho" rel="nofollow">Doctor Who gift ideas</a> in the lead up to last Christmas. I came across a number of cool gift ideas which is why I decided to help out anyone else who has to buy for a Doctor Who fan.
<br />
<br />
There are certainly a lot of different gift ideas to suit a range of different age groups as well as price ranges from Tardis coffee mugs, to figurines, Doctor Who t-shirts, books on the series ..... there really are a lot of ideas so let's start looking at them in detail. I've explained what I like about a few of the choices and then I've compiled a few more ideas further down so that you're covered whether you're buying for a younger fan or an older fan.
<br />
<br />
There are Doctor Who fans who fell in love with the Doctor decades ago and still say 'Exterminate, Exterminate' when talking Daleks, who apparently aren't very scary these days! Then there's the fans from the new Millennium who have the advantage of our far more advanced special effects, costume and props departments! On with the gift shopping and enjoy....
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Where's The Doctor? - The Best Book Ever!</h3>
<h2>
A Where's Waldo Style Doctor Who Book</h2>
<br />
This is a book I brought for my 13 year old Doctor Who fan for Christmas. She loves games as well so I thought she'd enjoy finding the Doctor and all the other characters in the book. I also had to get something that could be easily posted as we were celebrating Christmas in different countries.
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Wheres-Jamie-Smart/dp/1405908173?tag=lousblogs-20" rel="nofollow" style="color: inherit; display: inline-block; float: left; margin: 1.5%; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top; width: 150px;" target="_blank" title="Doctor Who: Where's the Doctor?"><span class="prthmb" style="-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 3px; border: solid 1px #888888; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: 150px; margin-bottom: 3px; overflow: hidden; width: 150px;"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/613VAjFsp8L.jpg" height="500" style="border: 0; height: 100%; max-width: none; width: auto;" width="380" /></span><span class="prnme" style="color: black; display: block; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 3px 0;">Doctor Who: Where's the Doctor?</span><img class="prbtn" src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/29.png" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></a><br />
My mum said the reaction was fantastic as my niece had apparently declared that it was 'the best book ever.' I was really happy with that even though mum was a little annoyed as she'd gone to a lot of trouble to get a book that had actually been requested just to be usurped by me!<br />
<br />
The fact that this book features the 11th Doctor along with his assistant Amy Pond was another factor in me choosing this for my niece as he's her favorite Doctor.<br />

<br />
<h3>
Doctor Who Tardis Gift Set</h3>
<br />
This cool gift set features what they're calling a tin tote which is basically a tin lunch box that looks like a Tardis. Now what I would've given to have this as my lunch box when I was still in school - I would've be the coolest kid at the lunch table!
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-TARDIS-Tote-Gift/dp/B0093DJ7LS?tag=lousblogs-20" rel="nofollow" style="color: inherit; display: inline-block; float: left; margin: 1.5%; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top; width: 150px;" target="_blank" title="Doctor Who TARDIS Tin Tote Gift Set"><span class="prthmb" style="-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 3px; border: solid 1px #888888; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: 150px; margin-bottom: 3px; overflow: hidden; width: 150px;"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51qsxFm4GCL.jpg" height="500" style="border: 0; height: auto; max-width: none; width: 100%;" width="500" /></span><span class="prnme" style="color: black; display: block; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 3px 0;">Doctor Who TARDIS Tin Tote Gift Set</span><img class="prbtn" src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/29.png" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></a><br />
Inside the box are four Doctor Who drinks coasters along with a Tardis designed travel mug.<br />
This gift set was released at the San Diego Comic Con and are officially licensed collectibles.<br />

<h3>
Doctor Who Takes Afternoon Tea!</h3>
<br />
Now one of the gifts that I'm thinking of for my niece is a Tardis Mug along with her favorite hot chocolate and maybe a cookie jar - it was just unrealistic last Christmas because of postage.
<br />
<br />
I first saw the Tardis cookie jar and mug in a local shop, but it wasn't until I checked online that I discovered you could even get a Tardis tea-pot. These three gift ideas are absolutely fantastic and I know just the person who would love the Tardis tea pot as they collect tea pots and used to enjoy Doctor Who when they were younger.
<br />

<br />
<br />
This does rather beg the question - what type of cookies would the Doctor want in his cookie jar? My niece is sure to to tell me double choc chip as they're her favorite, but..
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Doctor Who Board Games</h3>
<br />
I love giving my nieces board games as it gives them all something to play with together and they do enjoy playing board games. I love it when the extended family gets together as we usually manage to play a few board games - they're great for the kids to learn from as well as being a great bonding activity for us all.
<br />
<br />
I've found a couple of special edition Doctor Who board games which look great.

<h3>
Doctor Who Micro Figures</h3>
<h2>
The Eleven Doctors Collection</h2>
<br />
There are lots of different Doctor Who figurines available, but this particular collectors set is a nice gift idea as it features all eleven Doctors in a Tardis display box. It's relatively inexpensive (compared to some collector figures) which means that they can either be kept for display purposes only or can also be used in imaginative play.

This set is now out of date of course as we have a 12th Doctor, but at the time this would have had pride of place on my niece's shelf and I still think it would be appreciated.<br />
I haven't seen an undated set available at the time of writing, but I'm sure you'll be able to add the 12th Doctor when you find him........and let's face it we all know that eventually there will be a 13th and then 14th Doctor to add anyways.<br />

James Bond is an iconic pop culture character - 'Bond, James Bond' - so it's hardly surprising that he should join forces with Barbie, out favorite pop culture princess.<br />
<br />
Here you can see a Ken and Barbie gift set where Ken is doing his best to be our favorite licensed to kill spy, James Bond while Barbie looks every inch a Bond girl.<br />
<br />
The Bond girls are certainly a beautiful lot which is why it seems a great idea to re-create them as Barbie dolls. Unfortunately there aren't as many of them as I'd have hoped when I first heard of Bond Barbies, but I'm hoping that they'll release more in years to come.<br />
<br />
These 007 Barbies certainly are licensed to thrill whether you prefer Honey Ryder, Solitaire or someone else.<br />
<br />
These dolls are a must have for not just Barbie collectors, but any serious Bond fan too!<br />

I think that if you have to buy a gift for someone and you’re not sure what to get them you should consider a mug. Most people I know drink either tea or coffee or a hot chocolate drink of some description so you know they have a use for it. I do know two people who don’t drink hot drinks, but even they would love a mug gift from me because of the added gift ideas.
<br />
<br />
What does it say when you give someone a mug? It shows them that you do know them when you’ve tracked down a mug from their favourite band/movie/tv show or you’ve found a mug that they find funny.

A mug is something that you can give on it’s own, but I do have other ideas that make your mere present an awesome parcel to unwrap.
<br />
<br />
<h3>
For Coffee Drinkers – Add Some Coffee!</h3>
<h2>
Mug Gift Ideas</h2>
<br />
When my daughter was in pre-school I brought a couple of plain white mugs and let her decorate them for her teachers. I then added some sticks of flavoured coffees which I knew they all drank along with some chocolate spoons.
<br />
<br />
This was a big hit and not only did my daughter have fun decorating the mugs, but they enjoyed drinking the coffee and I know the chocolate spoons didn’t last long as they were both confirmed chocoholics!
<br />
<br />
If the person you’re buying for prefers to grind their own coffee then why not grab some of their favourite beans and add them to the mug. If they use a capsule machine (which more and more people seem to be) then why not give them some chocolate coated coffee beans to munch on between coffees – delicious!
<br />
<br />
<h3>
For Tea Drinkers – Add Some Tea</h3>
<h2>
Gift Ideas including Mugs</h2>
<br />
I would add a sampler pack of tea to a mug for some of my tea drinking friends as they do enjoy trying new teas, but don’t want to be stuck with a whole packet of tea if they don’t like it.
<br />
<br />
Other friends of mine actually like to use loose tea, but don’t think it’s worth it for just themselves when they live with non-tea drinkers.
<br />

One friend in particular loves it when I come around as she get’s the tea pot out and brews up some ‘proper’ tea. For this friend I brought some loose tea and an individual tea brewing ball like the one below. She adores this gift and now doesn’t have to fill guilty for making a pot just for herself.<br />
I absolutely love the little tea pot weight that hangs over the edge of the cup - if I'd seen this one at the time it's the one I would've got just because of that!<br />

<h3>
For Cake Lovers – Yes Mugs Make Great Gift Ideas for Cake Lovers Too!</h3>
<h2>
Convert Your Mug into a Cake Tin!</h2>

If the person you know loves cake then a mug can be a great idea, especially when you add ingredients and instructions for making cake in a mug. This is a cool gift for those ‘odd’ people who don’t like to drink hot drinks.
<br />
<br />
My brother has never drunk hot drinks, but I even converted him to loving mugs when I found him a cool Zombie looking mug and included a printed recipe for Chocolate Cake in a Mug along with the dry ingredients. The mug is now used as a pencil holder on his desk and the cake is long gone, but the recipe is still used in his home and has been passed down to his daughters as well!
<br />
<br />
If you like the look of the mug it's from <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/?rf=238559900758216397&tc=uniquegifts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zazzle</a> and the printing is amazing so I thoroughly recommend their mugs, especially as gifts. It looks like the cake hasn’t risen much here, but this is a 15oz mug so if you’d like to see cake erupting out of the top (which looks awesome by the way) then I would try the 11oz mug that’s also available instead.
<br />
<br />
The recipe (if you haven’t already got it) is really, really simple and has been touted as the ‘most dangerous chocolate cake ever’ the reasoning behind that statement is because it means that by using this recipe a chocolate cake is only 5 minutes away!
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
To make this cake you will need -
<br />
<ul>
<li>4 tbsp flour</li>
<li>4 tbsp sugar</li>
<li>2 tbsp cocoa</li>
<li>1 egg</li>
<li>3 tbsp milk</li>
<li>3 tbsp oil (I used rice bran oil)</li>
<li>1 mug</li>
</ul>
<br />
Here's the simple directions -
<br />
<ul>
<li>Mix all of the dry ingredients together in the mug.</li>
<li>Add the egg into the mug and mix together well.</li>
<li>Add both the milk and oil into the mug and mix together really well (you really do have to mix this thoroughly).</li>
<li>Put mug into microwave on high for 3 minutes.</li>
<li>Eat it! I like to add some whipped cream to mine whereas my daughter thinks a scoop of ice cream is the best way to enjoy it!</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Cookies, Lollies & Other Goodies</h3>
<br />
Of course you might be friends with someone who doesn’t eat cake or drink hot drinks, I do know one person who doesn’t really like many hot drinks and when it comes to cakes she’d rather eat lollies which is where the idea of filling a mug (that had a certain hunk who made her heart race on it) full of jelly beans came from. The mug was put in pride of place on her desk where she could just look at it constantly and the jelly beans were gone within a day!
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Cool Mugs to Choose From</h3>
<br />
If you’re going to give someone a cool mug as a gift then look for a mug that will appeal to their sense of humor, hobbies they may have or other things they hold dear. <br />
I’ve written a number of different pages containing mugs which you’re welcome to check out along with a couple of cool ones that I’ve come across recently –<br />
<div style="float: left; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;">
<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=11212&userID=272258&productID=498054448" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://images1.vat19.com/covers/large/scrabble-mug.jpg" /><br />SCRABBLE Tile Mug</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=11212&userID=272258&productID=496174555" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://images1.vat19.com/covers/large/camera-lens-mug.jpg" /><br />Camera Lens Mug</a></div>
I absolutely love this scrabble mug and I know a few people who will really appreciate it. <br />
They say caffeine focuses the mind so it's a perfect partner for one of the world's favorite word games. <br />
I used to spend hours playing Scrabble, but I haven't played it in years, my parents, however still enjoy playing so this might be a good idea to get them.<br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;">There are lots of other cool mugs available as well and I don't think you can go past this next one for an innovative looking mug - any budding photographer is bound to love the look of this one.</span><br />
Shaped like a camera lens it's a great gift idea if you have a friend or family member who is anything like me ....... I don't go anywhere without my camera these days. Even my mom makes comments about my 'mild obsession' with the camera and when your mom says something you know you've gotten bitten by the bug badly!<br />
If my husband or daughter are reading this then 'yes, I would love this mug for Christmas!'<br />
There really are mugs to suit everyone from geeky inspired mugs to television inspired mugs and (as you can see here) mugs to compliment just about any hobby you might have.<br />
I've written about a wide range of different types of mugs from Christmas themed mugs to Doctor Who, Superman and even the Muppets - if I've convinced you that you should be buying a mug for someone then be sure to check out my little collection of mug related articles.<br />

The Monster High dolls are fun to play with, but the Monster High plush doll is what you want to take to bed with you isn't it?
<br/>
<br/>
A number of your favorite Monster High characters are available in plush form including Frankie Stein, Cleo De Nile, Abbey Bominable, Deuce Gorgon and Draculaura. Let's have a look at all of the Monster High plush dolls that I've been able to find for you - you will fall in love with all of them as they really do look very cute!
<br/>
<br/>
<h3>Monster High Plush Dolls Are Cute!</h3>
<br/>
I love the fact that with this line of merchandise the powers that be at Monster High are actually bringing back the rag doll, because in essence that's exactly what these plush dolls are.
<br/>
<br/>
Like a good rag doll they are also very easy to wash which is good because the amount of playing that your child will do with these plush dolls will result in quite a dirty doll.
<br/>
<br/>
All of the scarily cute Monster High plush dolls come with their own plush pet as well which I think is awesome as it's almost like two plushes for the price of one.
<br/>

On a personal note I think most girls that like the Monster High dolls would fall in love with these plush dolls in fact if they like to play with stuffed toys more then they may even prefer them to the Monster High Barbie type of doll.
<br/>
<br/>
If you're buying for someone who mainly enjoys dressing her existing dolls up in clothes however this might not be the best gift idea as the clothes do not come off.
<br/>
<br/>
You can still play with these plush dolls and I think there's a place for both types of Monster High dolls in most girls' lives. To be honest my daughter loved taking a plush toy to bed with her when she was younger a lot more than she like dressing dolls up in clothes so these would definitely have been on my shopping list.

The gem is said to symbolize happiness and I would certainly be very happy to receive one of these beautiful pendants.<br />
<br />
Silver really helps to bring out the pale blue of the aquamarine which is why I prefer the silver aquamarine pendants over the more traditional gold ones, however with the increased use of white gold I've found that these also show off the aquamarine beautifully. These heart shaped pendants make a fantastic gift for that someone special whether for a birthday or a special date such as Valentines Day.

Brazil is the leading producer of aquamarines and can boast that some of the largest (and most rare) aquamarines come from there. In fact for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation the President and people of Brazil presented her with a gift of a matching necklace and earrings featuring oblong aquamarines and diamonds as you can see opposite. The Queen loved them so much she commissioned a matching tiara to be made.
<br />
<br />
As the Queen is such a fan of aquamarines (and I do think they suit her complexion really well) I wonder if she has a heart shaped aquamarine pendant or not? If not then hopefully Prince Phillip is reading this and can remedy the situation!
<br />
<br />
Aquamarines can also be found in some African countries such as Zambia and Nigeria as well as Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The name aquamarine comes from the Latin words aqua – water and mare – sea. This reflects the hue of this beautiful stone which is usually a beautiful blue, or blue-green like the ocean.<br />
<br />
The first documented wearers of this gemstone were the ancient Greeks. Greek sailors used aquamarines on amulets believing that it would protect them from Poseidon’s wrath.<br />

<br />
It’s considered extremely good luck to give someone their birthstone as it helps to enhance their own natural traits.

The traits associated with people born in March are the same as those that are associated with aquamarine – friendship, courage and fidelity.<br />
<br />
Aquamarines are also considered to be great as a stress reliever, now I’m not sure exactly how a gemstone is supposed to help with stress, but I’m willing to try it out and see if it works :)<br />

Have you seen Lego's Statue of Liberty set? When completed this Lego Statue of Liberty is, in a word, awesome! This is what you call a serious Lego set and contains not 236 pieces or 401 pieces but 2,882 pieces! We are talking about a Lego sculpture that will end up standing 33" tall when complete.
<br />
<br />
Lego decided to really make a statement when they introduced this set in 2000 and they succeeded!
<br />
<br />
This Lego set of the Statue of Liberty is simply stunning when completed. Forget Lego sets that have 401 pieces or 236 pieces this is a serious Lego set and contains 2,882 pieces, after all the Lady Liberty likes to make a statement!
<br />
<br />
This set is not one you can construct in a spare half an hour, it's not overly complicated, but it is very time consuming. The result is well worth it and the finished piece of art (because that's what it looks like) will really impress your friends.
<br />

At the time of this set's release in 2000 it was the largest Lego set ever produced (this has since been succeeded by the Taj Mahal). When Lego discontinued the manufacture of this set (almost as soon as it's release) the price for it seemed to double over night which means that if you see it on special you have to act fast!<br />
<br />
I would love to build the Lego Statue of Liberty myself, but I don't actually own it and I've written this thanks to numerous online friends who have shared their experiences building this amazing looking set.<br />

<b>Amazon Editorial Review</b>
<br />
<br />
"There are small LEGO sets, there are large LEGO sets, there are even very large LEGO sets. And then there's the LEGO Statue of Liberty. It features a daunting 2,882 pieces and a graphic guide book to show you how to construct the statue in just 80 steps. A lot of work? It sure is. But with great work comes great rewards. The completed piece stands an impressive 2 feet 9 inches tall and is an impressive tribute to one of the most recognizable monuments in the world."

<h3>The Statue of Liberty Shall Have a Lego Pedestal!</h3>
<br/>
Of course it's one thing to complain about the lack of a pedestal for your Lego model of the Statue of Liberty it's another to do something about it. You love Legos surely you can recreate the pedestal, check out this one....
<br/>
<br/>
<b><a href="http://mocpages.com/moc.php/242456">Pedestal for Statue of Liberty #3450</a></b>
<br/>
Phil has recreated his own version of Lady Liberty's pedestal and attached it beneath his Lego Statue of Liberty - it looks amazing!
<br/>
<br/>
<h3>Lego Set #3450 Continued</h3>
<br/>
This Statue of Liberty set really is a long build and most of the people who have told me about it say it took them either a whole day of concentrated building or a couple of days to complete. The monochromic bricks in the same color made the build a little harder so I definately wouldn’t recommend this for a younger Lego builder as it could cause a lot of frustration.
<br/>
<br/>
This set, obviously, comes with an instruction book and this details each layer individually which makes it easy to follow……as long as you’re concentrating. The problem with building a recognizable monument in this size is that if you make a mistake it can take a few layers before you realize!
<br/>
<br/>
The general consensus is that the torch looks fantastic! One person did complain that it was a little unstable and came off when it was played with, but to be honest this isn’t a set for play in my opinion. This is the type of set you build and then put on display in your office – high up away from children (aren’t I mean!!)Lou16http://www.blogger.com/profile/07951757285411365871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828301128547409215.post-78677795584484969132015-06-22T17:26:00.000-07:002015-06-22T17:26:49.491-07:00Monster High Gigi Grant<h3>

The daughter of the Genie, Gigi Grant is released from her lantern by Howleen Wolf much to Gigi’s delight as she gets very claustrophobic and being ‘trapped’ in a genie lantern really doesn’t help with that!
<br />
<br />
If you’re looking to buy a Gigi Grant doll for a Monster High fan then you’re in luck because at the time of writing there’s only one Gigi Grant doll available to purchase which means you can’t get the wrong doll. If you’re looking for a Clawdeen Wolf doll for example there are quite a few to choose from which is where problems can arise!
<br />
<br />
If you’re actually looking for more information about Gigi Grant then you’ll have to keep reading as we look at this newer ghoul from our favourite school – Monster High!

<h3>Monster High 13 Wishes Collection</h3>
<br/>
Gigi Grant was released as part of the 13 Wishes doll collection and in conjunction with a television feature length special called ….. you guessed it, 13 Wishes!
<br/>
<br/>
The reason for this name is that when Howleen Wolf discovers a genie lantern and releases Gigi Grant Gigi offers her 13 wishes (I’m not sure why it’s 13 instead of the usual 3 that you read about, but….).
<br/>
<br/>
The 13 wishes doll collection contains 4 different dolls ……

<br/>
<br/>
So besides the fact that Gigi is the daughter of the genie what do we know about her so far? Well if you sneak a look into her diary you’ll find that she gets very lonely and bored when she’s trapped inside the genie lantern and I have to say you really can’t blame her can you? She thinks that being trapped for so long is what has made her claustrophobic and you have to admit that’s not a good thing for anyone with genie DNA to have.
<br/>
<br/>
The thing that I love most about Gigi is her hair. It is a gorgeous hot pink color which I think makes everyone take a second look and then she also has a gold colored streak running through her left side which just makes it stand out even more.
<br/>
<br/>
Gigi says that one of her favourite things is to go sightseeing so she loves it when a monster makes a wish to go somewhere that she hasn’t been to before …….. I don’t know why she can’t just grant herself a wish or two, but maybe there’s some special genie code or something.
<br/>
<br/>
Her pet peeve is when people use one of their wishes to ask for more wishes and I have to admit I’d probably do that too, but that’s with the traditional 3 I do get Gigi Grant’s point about 13 should really be enough!
<br/>
<br/>
She also loves astronomy and her dad’s homemade hummus with freshly baked pita bread.

There are many ways to say I love you including giving the person you love a thoughtful and romantic gift. I've compiled a selection of romantic gift ideas that are bound to make your partner feel very special.
<br />
<br />
One cool gift is the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=272258&b=224997&m=15302&afftrack=notes%20in%20a%20jar&urllink=www%2Ebeau%2Dcoup%2Ecom%2Fnotes%2Din%2Da%2Djar%2Ehtm">Notes in a Jar</a> gift idea that you see opposite and we'll talk about that on this page, another time honored romantic gift is jewelry so we'll look at that as well as a few other romantic gift ideas.
<br />
<br />
The most important thing when trying to come up with the most romantic gift idea for your partner is to know them and get something that suits them - not everyone likes traditional romantic gifts like flowers, chocolates and jewelry so you have to know your partner first and get a gift that shows them that you've listened to them.

You can purchase a Notes in a Jar gift really easily and they come with either blank notes that you can write your own personal messages on or pre-written notes with messages such as "I love you just the way you are" printed in a handwriting font. These jars come in an elegant box and are 6" high and made of glass (as you can see). The notes come in envelopes and they are both a linen textured material.<br />
<br />
Of course you don't have to buy one of these Notes in a Jar to use the idea, why not make up your own version? Simply purchase a nice looking glass jar, add some confetti or use a heart hole puncher to make your own red hearts out of heavy paper and then add the notes.<br />
<br />
You can simply fold the individual notes in half instead of putting them in an envelope and you can add as many as you like. Your partner can reach in and read a love note from you every day and feel loved and happy for longer than the time it takes to unwrap any other gift - that's romance!<br />

<h3>
Love & Romance Coupons</h3>
<h2>
Vouchers Your Partner Will Adore</h2>
<br />
Giving coupons or vouchers for gifts isn't anything new, but these are a little different and include things such as breakfast in bed or a free back rub.
<br />
<br />
This is another idea that's easy to make up your own and I've personally made up some 'gift vouchers' on the computer for things that my husband likes and have given them to him in the past when we (as parents) didn't have much money to give each other gifts. Sometimes I think he'd prefer them to other gifts I've actually spent a lot of money on as they were specially tailored for him!
<br />
<br />
Not sure what to put on a coupon? There's nothing wrong with buying a book of coupons here and if they like the idea then you can make your own up as a future gift.

<h3>
Is Chocolate the Food of Love?</h3>
<h2>
Chocolate Gifts say I Love You to Me!</h2>
<br />
If you're buying a gift for a lady then the chances are chocolate is a safe bet, but I do have a friend who doesn't like chocolate which I find really hard to understand! You really do have to know the person you're buying for if you don't want to make a romantic gift mistake!
<br />
<br />
Now as much as 90% of women (probably, I did just make up that percentage) love chocolate the old heart shaped box of chocolates as a gift is still sometimes seen as a bit of a romantic gift cop out, but there's still ways to make chocolate a romantic gift that will be treasured.
<br />
<br />
Find the chocolate that she loves for starters, not a generic box of chocolates ...... I'm going to give you two examples of what I mean now. My husband doesn't really have much of a sweet tooth, but there is one particular bar of chocolate that he really loves and when we first moved to Australia it was quite hard to get. Just before his birthday one year I managed to find a shop that sold this chocolate bar so I got him a couple and he absolutely loved it.......these days they're available at the local supermarket so it's not so special!
<br />
<br />
I used to work part time in a British shop and an elderly gentleman (I think he was in his 70s) would come in once a month to buy two bars of chocolate. His wife was living in a home and most of the time didn't know who he was, but he took the bus to visit her once a week and every second week he'd take her a bar of chocolate (she used to have one piece a day). They grew up in the UK in the town where this chocolate bar used to be made and every Sunday as a child her father would give her a bar. This gentleman's wife always remembered that the chocolate was special even if she couldn't remember who he was and to him it was important that she always felt that she had a 'treat'. I have always remembered that man and thought it was a very romantic gift that he gave his wife.

If your partner doesn't have a favorite chocolate bar that is hard to find then another idea would be to get them something a little more unique that will still enable them to indulge in some chocolaty heaven......<br />
<br />
A heart shaped fondue! This is a really romantic twist on the old box of chocolates which is bound to impress ..... just remember to include some melting chocolate as well!<br />

<h3>
Find Your Way to Romance with a Compass</h3>
<h2>
Heart Pocket Compass</h2>
<br />
If your partner loves orienteering or any other activity that involves a compass they might appreciate this gift idea. It's just a novelty piece though so they should still use an actual compass, but it's a very romantic notion I think.
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Follow-Your-Heart-Pocket-Compass/dp/B003GE6LVE?tag=lousblogs-20" rel="nofollow" style="color: inherit; display: inline-block; float: left; margin: 1.5%; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top; width: 200px;" target="_blank" title="Follow Your Heart Pocket Compass"><span class="prthmb" style="-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 3px; border: solid 1px #888888; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 3px; overflow: hidden; width: 200px;"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41te8p%2BjugL.jpg" height="500" style="border: 0; height: auto; max-width: none; width: 100%;" width="500" /></span><span class="prnme" style="color: black; display: block; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 3px 0;">Follow Your Heart Pocket Compass</span><img class="prbtn" src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/29.png" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></a><br />
There are a few different sayings available on these compasses from Follow Your Heart to Love Will Find The Way & My Heart Will Guide You Home.<br />

<h3>
Send a Message in a Bottle</h3>
<h2>
A Time Honored Romantic Gift Idea</h2>
<br />
From songs such as 'Message in a Bottle' to movies and books about people finding romance after a message in a bottle washes up on a beach the whole idea of a message in a bottle just screams romance!
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Message-In-Bottle-CONTENT-Personalized/dp/B001FVNIDE?tag=lousblogs-20" rel="nofollow" style="color: inherit; display: inline-block; float: left; margin: 1.5%; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top; width: 200px;" target="_blank" title="Message In A Bottle ®"><span class="prthmb" style="-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 3px; border: solid 1px #888888; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 3px; overflow: hidden; width: 200px;"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41MP91CqAuL.jpg" height="500" style="border: 0; height: auto; max-width: none; width: 100%;" width="500" /></span><span class="prnme" style="color: black; display: block; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 3px 0;">Message In A Bottle ®</span><img class="prbtn" src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/29.png" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></a><br />
Now you can buy messages in a bottle to give your partner and if they love the idea of romance they will adore this gift.<br />
<br />
You decide what message to put on the 'message' and it will be printed on paper with burnt edges for an eternal and romantic touch.<br />

<h3>
Jewelry Gift Ideas</h3>
<h2>
Jewelry that says I Love You</h2>
<br />
Jewelry is still a traditional romantic gift and if your partner is something of a traditionalist when it comes to romance you can't go past a nice piece of jewelry.
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Valentine-Couples-Pendant-Necklaces-Stainless/dp/B0073R5QZ2?tag=lousblogs-20" key="" lock="" love="" pendants="" rel="nofollow" style="color: inherit; display: inline-block; float: left; margin: 1.5%; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top; width: 200px;" target="_blank" title="Valentine Couple's " you=""><span class="prthmb" style="-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 3px; border: solid 1px #888888; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 3px; overflow: hidden; width: 200px;"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51j4XjHh%2B2L.jpg" height="500" style="border: 0; height: auto; max-width: none; width: 100%;" width="500" /></span><span class="prnme" style="color: black; display: block; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 3px 0;">Valentine Couple's "Love You' Lock & Key Pendants</span><img class="prbtn" src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/29.png" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></a><br />
I think the interlocking jewelry that you both wear is the ultimate in romance as it brings back memories of young love as well.<br />
<br />
This particular lock and key pendant looks awesome and has great symbolism as well.<br />
<div style="clear: both; font-size: 0;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><a href="https://wizzley.com/romantic-jewelry-gifts/">Romantic Jewelry Gifts</a></b>
<br />
Romance and jewelry really do seem to go hand in hand from interlocking necklaces to heart shaped birthstone rings.</li>
<li><b><a href="https://wizzley.com/couples-interlocking-necklaces/">Couples Interlocking Necklaces</a></b>
<br />
Interlocking necklaces are a really cool way of giving someone special a piece of jewelry that says you and me forever.</li>
<li><b><a href="https://wizzley.com/puzzle-rings/">Puzzle Rings</a></b>
<br />
I love puzzle rings, these rings interlock together as though to say we're soul mates and are one of the most romantic pieces of jewelry around.</li>
</ul>

<h3>
Use Your Partner's Hobbies & Loves to Tailor the Perfect Romantic Gift</h3>
<br />
Knowing your partner really is key to impressing them with a special gift as all most people want is to feel that they've been listened to and paid attention to. The key to a romantic gift lies with the person you're giving to and whereas some want to be wooed with chocolates and flowers other's prefer their very own tool set or a new fishing rod!
<br />
<br />
What I'd consider a romantic gift is totally different to what my sister in law would call romantic so let's have a look at a few more ideas that are a little outside of the box to give you an idea.
<br />
<br />
If your partner loves their Lego then these ideas are a cool way of acknowledging that while trying to say you love them.

I remember making my husband his very own recipe book for Christmas including recipes he loved using from magazine cuttings and a 'secret' recipe from his Aunty Loma and a couple from his mom - he loved it and twenty years later he's still using it.<br />

Are you looking for a Lego Creator House set? There are lots of different ones available from the Lego Creator House set pictured to a log cabin, beach house, townhouse and more.
<br />
<br />
Here I'll look at some of the Lego Creator House sets in more detail so that you can choose which one you want to build first!
<br />
<br />
By the way, have I told you why I love these sets so much? Lego Creator sets come complete with instructions for building three different homes - now that's what I call value for money!
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Lego Creator Model Townhouse</h3>
<h2>
Lego Creator Set #4954</h2>
<br />
The great thing about the Lego Creator sets is that they come with instructions for more than one thing and this Lego Creator Model Townhouse set is not different in that respect. The instructions that accompany this set includes instructions to make 3 different designs, and then of course all the children can come up with their own versions as they like…..and they usually do!
<br />
<br />
The set does look pretty amazing, especially if you make the configuration pictured, but there is no interior which is a bit disappointing – why have a two story house if you’ve got no stairs and no upstairs floor? There are no minifigures so I would assume that the house must be on the market, but there is a car so maybe the owners were spirited away somewhere like on the Marie Celeste!
<br />
<br />

When completed the Lego Creator Model Townhouse stands at 9″ (23 cm) tall. There are some great elements to this Lego Creator set with the doors, windows and flowers. Not only can you build 3 different houses you can also build a delivery truck instead of the car!<br />
<br />
With 1,174 pieces there is a lot of Lego to ignite your child’s imagination……..or yours!<br />

<h3>
Lego Creator House</h3>
<h2>
Lego Creator Set #4956</h2>
<br />
My reviews of this Lego set are all secondhand, but one comment which a long distance friend made was that her son loved the fact that his matchbox cars could fit in the garage of this particular Lego Creator House. It’s always a toss up between whether to send him another Lego set or a matchbox car so it was great to hear that this covered both of his favorite toys!
<br />
<br />
From reading online reviews it appears that Lego have hit all the right notes with the exterior of this house, but (like with the Townhouse above) the interior is disappointing.

<h3>
Lego Creator Beach House</h3>
<h2>
Lego Creator Set #4996</h2>
<br />
I’ve always loved the look of A frame houses, although I’ve never lived in an area where one has ever come up for sale……..I guess I’ll have to build one and for practice Lego have developed this Lego Creator Beach House set. Well in all honesty I don’t think it was created just for me, but…
<br />
<br />

Like all of the Creator sets this one comes with three different sets of building instructions so if you’re not as keen on an A frame house then you could build a cafe or an apartment building instead.<br />
<br />
There are no minifigures with this set, but I like the idea of building it away from your own Lego City as a holiday home and then you can all hop in your <a href="http://unique-and-funky-gifts.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/lego-city-camper.html">Lego City Camper</a> or your car and drive to the Beach House on weekends.<br />
<div style="clear: both; font-size: 0;">

<br />
<br />
<b>Product Features</b>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Need to get away? Relax in your very own beach house!</li>
<li>Second floor lifts off to see stairs and fireplace on the first floor with a balcony and a skylight that opens!</li>
<li>Outside there is a patio with table, umbrella and chairs, and even a barbeque grill with chicken</li>
<li>Beach House stands over 6½” (16.5cm)high and includes a 5″ x 10″ (13cm x 25cm) baseplate</li>

</ul>
<br />

<h3>
Lego Creator Log Cabin</h3>
<h2>
Lego Creator Set #5766</h2>
<br />
This cozy little log cabin can make you feel like you’re living in the wilds like Grizzly Adams! As with all of the Creator house sets it comes with instructions for three different models becoming a log cabin, country retreat or river hut depending on what you’d prefer.
<br />

<h3>
Lego Creator House</h3>
<h2>
Lego Creator Set #5891</h2>
<br />
Like all of the Creator sets this Lego set comes with instructions to compile three different builds. The one featured on the box – The Apple Tree House – seems to appeal to both boys and girls which is always great when you’ve got both in the house.<br />
<br />

It has great little features such as a satellite dish so that they can all watch the Disney channel (apparently), basketball hoop (always fun), lawn mower, and an apple tree.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately this set is let down by the interior as with the other Creator houses, but there’s plenty of scope for play with the outside if you have Lego minifigures from other sets to ‘live’ in the house playing basketball and mowing the lawn etc.<br />
<div style="clear: both; font-size: 0;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>Product Features</b>
<br />
<ul>
<li>3 models in 1: Rebuild into a tall townhouse or summer home</li>
<li>Classic family house packed with details, like mail box, lawnmower, outdoor light, water tap in the garden and much more</li>
<li>Features a blue tiled roof which can be lifted to play inside</li>
<li>Highly detailed: Basketball hoop, TV antenna and garage</li>
<li>539 pieces</li>

There are lots more <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=lego%20creator%20house%20sets&linkCode=ur2&tag=lousblogs-20&url=search-alias%3Daps&linkId=NEJAZJ5VFY2YLRPD" rel="nofollow">Lego Creator houses</a> to choose from along with other great sets from this range. Any Lego range which gives you several different sets of instructions to build different things has to be a great idea in my mind and that's why the Creator series gets a big tick of approval from this mother.
<br />
<br />
Once a child gets bored playing with one particular model of house (or car if you have any of the Lego Creator car sets) then simply get them to build a different one to play with!

<h3>
Introducing the Lego Creator Treehouse Set</h3>
<h2>
Lego Set #31010</h2>
<br />
Yet another fun 3 in 1 Lego play set this Treehouse is simply amazing. I think all children like the idea of having their own treehouse, but unfortunately we don't all live in places where that dream can come true which is where this Lego set can come in handy. Many hours of play can be enjoyed creating their very own tree house and then playing in it.

Cupid Dolls<h3>From Monster High to Ever After High</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHNEoSVe3uA6JcTe8AGHz8rJaL8eEkBXMnsnKxcHFPprUFKt6a-6Cx7SfukiHnwD8II8OKbRgPKB88uJ48ORWeZmNCvvcrhYWNkluOSzyMDBHiiXHffYHDVSZ7aRb34jpYhZR4H5pAk6g/s1600/ca+cupid+doll.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHNEoSVe3uA6JcTe8AGHz8rJaL8eEkBXMnsnKxcHFPprUFKt6a-6Cx7SfukiHnwD8II8OKbRgPKB88uJ48ORWeZmNCvvcrhYWNkluOSzyMDBHiiXHffYHDVSZ7aRb34jpYhZR4H5pAk6g/s320/ca+cupid+doll.png" /></a></div>We first met C.A. Cupid when she was a student at Monster High School, but she’s changed schools and now attends Ever After High School. So who is C.A. Cupid? Well first up she is a girl who gets very frustrated when people read her name and assume she’s male. You can hardly blame people though as if she’d read her history books she would realize that women did often use just initials with their surname so that people would assume they were men especially writers such as P D James etc.
<br/>
<br/>
Wonder why she does’n use her given names? Once you hear what they are you realize what a mouthful they are and things become a lot clearer! The names in question are Chariclo Arganthone, Clo might’ve been a nice shortened version that she could have used, but…….. in her own words she says her name is “scary long, hideously unpronounceable and you know you’re just going to call me Cupid anyway!”. With her bow lips, pink hair and belief that love really does conquer all Cupid is certainly the perfect name for her!
<br/>
<br/>
<h3>C.A. Cupid – Monster High Student</h3>
<br/>
She is actually the adoptive daughter of Eros the Greek god of love (which definitely explains her Greek sounding middle name). Her favourite school subject is psychology and she uses this when exploring relationships – she’s kind of like an agony aunt when it comes to teenage love.
<br/>
<br/>
Eros did give her wings, as well as the family tools of trade – a bow and arrow – and taught her all about love. Unfortunately C.A. Cupid is a terrible shot which means that shooting Cupid’s Arrows are not her forte. She does help teens in their quest for love on a radio show she hosts at Monster High though. Broadcasting from the catacombs under Monster High School her daily radio show – On Air with C.A Cupid – helps to teach her fellow students that love is special and doesn’t have to be scary at all.
<br/>
<br/>
It was on her radio show that she made this announcement –
<br/>

<br/>
<br/>
<h3>C.A. Cupid – Ever After High Student</h3>
<br/>
Next we see her as a student at the enchanting Ever After High School – her looks have changed slightly, but she’s still all about love and encouraging others to follow their heart which could explain why she’s a Rebel at Ever After High.
<br/>
<br/>
The students are split between being a Royal or a Rebel depending on whether they want to continue their pre-determined life stories or if they want to carve out different futures for themselves. As you can’t help who you fall in love with it’s totally understandable that Chariclo Arganthone Cupid would be on the Rebel’s side isn’t it?
<br/>
<br/>
<h3>C.A. Cupid Monster High Doll</h3>
<br/>
The first doll that was available was the Monster High one which I have for you below. This doll shows off her white skin that fades to black and her wavy pink hair with gorgeous aqua eyes and her wings that look more like a rib cage.
<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
<br/>
In Ever After High her lovely wavy pink hair is longer and her hands and feet are no longer black. Her wings also contain feathers instead of looking like a rib cage! She certainly looks much more ‘princess like’ to me.

<h3>Friends of Cupid</h3>
<h2>Ever After High Dolls</h2>
<br/>
When she was at Monster High Cupid would always claim that her BFFs were any monster who is in love with love – very diplomatic! She certainly was happy to give advice to any of her fellow Monster High School students when it came to matters of the heart.

At Ever After High Cupid says that her BFFs are Apple White (a Royal), Raven Queen (a Rebel) and anyone with an open heart. Having both Apple and Raven as best friends wouldn’t be the easiest as they aren’t friends themselves (although they try to stay on friendly terms), given that their destinies are supposed to be intertwined this is hardly surprising.

While Sheldon wears a lot of Superhero and retro t-shirts Howard tries to get everyone to focus on another part of his anatomy which is why he loves wearing different belt buckles. He wears what I've heard referred to as 'geeky' belt buckles, but I personally think a lot of them are just plain fun.
<br />
<br />
Wearing belt buckles are a great way to add a touch of personality to your outfit and you certainly don't have to be a geek to do so!
<br />
<br />
This page is dedicated to the belt buckles that Howard Wolowitz wears on Big Bang Theory, but they're pretty cool for anyone to wear.
<br />
<br />
I especially like the Pac Man belt buckle myself, but that's because the 80s pull on my nostalgic heartstrings! If you love superheroes or Star Wars then there's belt buckles here which you can enjoy whether you're a Howard Wolowitz fan or not.
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Superhero Belt Buckles</h3>
<h2>
Featured on TV's Big Bang Theory</h2>
All of the four scientists on the Big Bang Theory love superheroes as is evidenced by Sheldon's t-shirts and Howard's belt buckles not to mention numerous discussions and their shared love of comic books.
<br />
<br />
In fact the comic book store has a recurring role in the series along with Stuart the owner of the store. An interesting factoid is that Sheldon purchases all of his t-shirts at the Comic Book Store ..... it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere about where Howard manages to get all of his belt buckles from though. Luckily for you the more popular buckles that he owns are all available for you right here, so let's have a look at them all.
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Howard's Retro Video Game Belt Buckles</h3>
I love the retro video game inspired belt buckles that we've seen Howard sport and they include the Nintendo controller and a Pac Man belt buckle both of which transport me straight back to the 80s. I think that Howard really should visit this post for some future belt buckle ideas as I'm sure he'd love it! -

Are you looking for retro video game inspired belt buckles such as Pac Man and the Legend of Zelda? I've found a great collection of 80s retro gamer belt buc..</a>
<br />
<br />
Let's look at the retro video game belts that Howard has already worn now, as I've said before there are two for us to look at here -

<h3>
The Flash Belt Buckle</h3>
Howard has worn a fun Flash belt buckle like this one along with a number of different Superman, Batman and Green Lantern belt buckles.
<br />
<br />

Flash is certainly one of the favorite superhero of all of the Big Bang Theory 'gang', if you remember in one episode they turned up to go to a fancy dress costume and they were all wearing Flash costumes so had to change!<br />
<br />
There are a couple of other episodes which show Sheldon wearing a Flash costume as well and as for his Flash t-shirt collection.....<br />

<h3>
Howard's Batman Belt Buckles</h3>
I've seen Howard wear at least 3 different Batman belt buckles, but the silver colored one (I believe) has been worn more often that the others. Now it's hard to know exactly what the buckle Howard actually wears on the show is made of, but personally out of all of the ones that look like this I would pick a chrome one as opposed to other metals as it just seems to 'wear' better.
<br />

<h3>
Howard's Green Lantern Belt Buckles</h3>
I can only remember Howard wearing two Green Lantern belt buckles, which makes a change from the copious amounts of different Green Lantern t-shirts that Sheldon seems to don!

<h3>
Superman Belt Buckles Worn by Howard</h3>
Howard Wolowitz has also been spotted in a number of different Superman belt buckles - here are two of the ones I can recall him wearing.

I am more of a classic superhero girl myself so instead of the chrome Superman belt buckle that Howard has worn I would favor the red and yellow buckle below that he's also worn ....... it just says Superman to me!<br />

Is it a bird, is it a plane...... no silly, it's a cool belt buckle that could look as good in your belt buckle collection as it does in Howards!<br />

<h3>
Star Wars Imperial Symbol Belt Buckle - As Worn By Howard, Big Bang Theory</h3>
As with the other members of the Big Bang Theory 'gang' Howard is a Star Wars fan, he shows this when he wears this Star Wars Imperial emblem on his belt buckle
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Imperial-Buckle-White/dp/B00B4MDB1S?tag=lousblogs-20" rel="nofollow" style="color: inherit; display: inline-block; float: left; margin: 1.5%; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top; width: 150px;" target="_blank" title="Star Wars Men's Imperial Logo Belt Buckle"><span class="prthmb" style="-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 3px; border: solid 1px #888888; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: 150px; margin-bottom: 3px; overflow: hidden; width: 150px;"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21yaDks57bL.jpg" height="300" style="border: 0; height: auto; max-width: none; width: 100%;" width="300" /></span><span class="prnme" style="color: black; display: block; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 3px 0;">Star Wars Men's Imperial Logo Belt Buckle</span><img class="prbtn" src="http://easyproductdisplays.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/29.png" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></a><br />
I'm not a huge Star Wars fan myself, but I do feel like the Imperial emblem looks fantastic on a belt buckle and is a design that (in my opinion) could work just as well on a pair of jeans as it could some dress trousers.<br />

Howard owns a red Vespa on the show so it's quite appropriate that he would have a vespa belt buckle as well.<br />
<br />
I think one of the funniest scenes featuring Howard on his Vespa is when he has to give Sheldon a lift on it - hilarious! I was laughing so hard that my hubby was finding watching me even funnier than watching the television.<br />

<h3>
The Sheriff Belt Buckle</h3>
<h2>
Worn by Howard Wolowitz</h2>
When I first saw Howard's sheriff belt buckle I made a huge gaffe which I'm going to share with the world here.
<br />

I asked why Howard would wear a Star of Texas belt buckle when it was Sheldon who was from Texas.<br />
<br />
I was immediately informed that it was actually a sheriff's star, talk about feeling small..........................at least I can laugh about it though.<br />

This belt buckle makes me chuckle as Howard wore it with an eye-patch, gold shoes, leather trousers and a very loud shirt in his attempt to pick up that Sheldon compared to how a peacock shows off his tail feathers. Every time I see this belt buckle now I have this image in my head of Howard in a peacock costume - it's very funny!<br />
<br />
You can get this design as a silver belt as well if you'd prefer, but Howard donned this gold one on the show.<br />

<h3>
Banana's & Owls - More of Howard's Collection</h3>
I've finally been able to source a couple more of Howard's belt buckles. First the banana buckle which I always thought was a nod to Andy Warhol's Velvet Underground album cover although nothing has ever been mentioned on the show about it.
<br />
<br />
The second one is the hoot owl buckle that Howard wears on the episode where he meets Bernadette on a double date with Penny and Leonard - I loved the 'does your mom' dialogue between them, hilarious!

Remember the 'Labors of Sheldon"? - Howard 'Made' Sheldon Clean All of His Belt Buckles!</h3>
In the words of Sheldon - That's a lot of belt buckles!

<br />
I do wish we'd been able to see more of the belt buckles, myself, but the scene's a classic anyway.
<br />
<br />
Seeing the sheer number of buckles that Howard empties onto the bed makes me think I may have missed a few! I can tell you that there are a couple of belt buckles that I've missed from this page because I haven't been able to source them for you and they are a deli sandwich belt buckle and a chimpanzee belt buckle.
<br />
<br />
If you’ve noticed more belt buckles on the show, please let me know in the comment section and I’ll try to locate them for you.

This Elvis portrait doll was based on one of the 33 films that he stared in - Jailhouse Rock. The fitted jeans and matching jacket over a striped prison shirt really helps to capture Elvis Presley's irresistible charisma - the reason he's still idolized after all of these years. Designed by Linda Kyaw the doll also captures Elvis' signature smile and slicked back hair which adds to this doll's undeniable allure.

Which is Your Favorite Elvis Presley Doll?</h3>
I usually think of Elvis in a jumpsuit, but watching his old movies makes you realise what a heart throb he really was and because of that I think I'd pick one of the Jailhouse Rock Elvis doll as my favoriteLou16http://www.blogger.com/profile/07951757285411365871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828301128547409215.post-67822173510250800532015-06-02T16:38:00.000-07:002015-06-02T16:38:11.849-07:00Retro Video Games Belt Buckles<h3>Novelty Gamer Belt Buckles for Fans of Retro Video Games</h3>

<br/>
<br/>

<h3>Pac Man Belt Buckles</h3>
<h2>An Iconic 80s Game</h2>
Pac Man is quintessentially an 80s icon in it's own right. This video game was enjoyed by many during the 80s and I could even name the ghosts...............in fact I 'scared' one of my friends last year by naming them. Considering the things I forget she is amazed when I come out with useless bits of information, but that's why I get chosen for Trivial Pursuit teams!

<h3>Classic Pac Man Belt Buckle</h3>
<h2>As Seen on The Big Bang Theory</h2>
This is the classic Pac Man belt buckle and even if you're not into retro video games or 80s pop culture you may think it looks familiar. It's one of the belt buckles that Howard regularly wears on the hit show The Big Bang Theory.

<h3>The Legend of Zelda Belt Buckle</h3>
The Legend of Zelda was another game first released during the 80s by Nintendo. Now I must admit I don't recall ever playing this game, but I'm told it's an absolute classic. It is developed as a fantasy game and the hero is a boy named Link who must rescue the Princess Zelda from the evil Ganon by collecting eight fragments of an artifact called the Triforce of Wisdom.

Holiday Barbies were released before Christmas every year so that parents could buy their little girls a new Barbie every Christmas, over time these girls grew up and still look forward to the new holiday Barbies that come out every year - they're now highly sought after collectors dolls.
<br />
<br />
If you know a Barbie fan then getting them a holiday Barbie is sure to bring a smile to their face especially if you manage to find one that they don't have in their collection.
<br />
<br />
Holiday Barbies aren't just for one Christmas - you can enjoy them for years to come!
<br />
<br />
<h3>
1988 - The First Holiday Barbie</h3>
<h2>
Collectible Barbie in Festive Red</h2>
The first Holiday Barbie was produced in 1988 and apparently it was never intended to become the Christmas tradition that it has developed into.
<br />
<br />
This Barbie doll in a beautiful, festive red ballgown was released in limited numbers and sold out extremely fast making it one of the 'must have' Christmas gifts of 1988. Executives took note and decided to bring out another doll in 1989, the response was pleasing and the result as they say is Barbie History!
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Holiday Barbies of the 80s</h3>
<h2>
80s Collectible Barbies</h2>
There were only two Holiday Barbies of the 80s the original 1988 Holiday Barbie and the second in the series the 1989 Holiday Barbie -

The very first Holiday Barbie isn't just attributed to starting a Christmas tradition, but is also said to be responsible for the range of Barbie Collectors Series that have been released since ....... and that's not a small number, who would have thought it way back in 1988?<br />

The second Holiday Barbie is dressed in a white sparkly dress with a snowflake ornament in her hair - in my mind she always seemed like a Snow Queen! Just like her predecessor this Holiday Barbie also sold out quickly.<br />

<h3>
Happy Holiday Barbies of the 90s</h3>
<h2>
90s Collectible Barbies</h2>
The 90s saw the Happy Holiday Barbies continue to be extremely popular and we also saw an African American Holiday Barbie released in 1990. 1991, however, was to see three different Holiday Barbies released for the first time. Although they were wearing the same dress we had the traditional blonde Barbie doll that we identify with along with a brunette Barbie doll and an African American Barbie doll.
<br />
<br />
Am I being a little cynical when I think the company were cashing in on the popularity of the Holiday Barbie? I mean let's face it if you're a collector and there are three different Barbies being released it means you now need to buy 3 instead of 1 doll or have an incomplete collection.

1990 Blonde Barbie in a sparkling pink dress - those big puffy sleeves always make me think that this should've been an 80s Barbie doll!<br />

1990 African American Holiday Barbie actually suits the sparkling pink dress better than traditional Barbie in my opinion. This doll does come with a doll stand as well so that you can put all of your Holiday Barbies on display easily<br />

1991 Blonde Barbie doll is wearing a very dark green, velvet dress that's encrusted with jewels on the bodice. She also has a matching purse and hair bow and like the others comes with a doll stand to display her on.<br />

The 1993 Holiday Barbies saw a return to festive red with accents of gold and again two dolls were released - Blonde Barbie and African American Barbie.<br />
Both of these 1993 Barbies were 11.5" tall like all of the Holiday Barbies are. They also come with not just the jewelry you can see in the image, but also a 5" x 7" picture.<br />

<br />
During 1994 Mattel also decided to release some other Holiday related Special Edition Barbies so along with these official Happy Holidays Barbie you can also get a Barbie's Winter Eve Special Edition which is a blonde Barbie dressed in a gown with a green bodice and Christmas tartan skirt as well as faux fur trim - very festive.
<br />
<br />
The company didn't stop there, however and also released the 1994 Special Edition Victorian Elegance Barbie that is dressed in winter Victorian style clothes and comes in a box that looks very festive - she also has ice skates which is pretty cool.

<h3>
Holiday Barbies are no Longer Happy Holidays Barbies</h3>
<h2>
Changing the Holiday Barbie Label</h2>
From the first Holiday Barbie these Barbies were released as Happy Holidays Barbie dolls, but during the 90s Mattel had started to introduce other Holiday themed Barbies into the mix as well such as the Special Edition Holiday Traditions Barbie Special Edition Holiday Memories Barbie and the Special Edition Winter Barbie.
<br />
<br />
When the 1998 Happy Holidays Barbie Doll was released collectors were told that it would be the last of the Happy Holidays Barbie, luckily little girls didn't have to worry as Holiday Barbie wasn't really going away, she was just getting a new name.
<br />
<br />
Here are the 'official' Holiday Barbies that have been released since.
<br />

<h3>
2003 Winter Fantasy Barbie</h3>
<h2>
The Holiday Barbie for 2003</h2>
The Winter Fantasy Barbie was released as the first in the series of 'Holiday Visions' Barbie dolls, but she was the only one ever released so I'm not sure what happened there.
<br />
<br />
No brunette was released in this year as Barbie or as Theresa, Friend of Barbie, this doll was just available in classic Barbie blonde and African American.
<br />

<br />
Let's have a look at all of the Holiday Barbie dolls for this millennium.

<br />
<br />
The 2013 Christmas Barbie doll is sporting a silver gown with snowflake detailing on her gown and she looks absolutely stunning like the ultimate Snow Queen!
<br />
<br />
There's been three of these dolls released - the traditional blonde Barbie, an African American Barbie along with one that has gorgeous auburn hair which I think offsets the silver gown really, really well.
<br />

The 2015 Christmas Barbie dolls are here and using the name Holiday Sparkle Barbie. I must say they're looking very festive in a strapless red dress adorned with snowflakes. I've found the blonde Barbie version as well as an African American version of this holiday doll, enjoy -

<h3>
More Holiday Themed Barbies</h3>
There are so many other holiday themed or winter themed Barbies that are constantly being released now that it's hard to know which ones to buy, but these are the Holiday Barbies that most people think of when they talk about them.
<br />
<br />
There are lots of other series of Barbies such as the Holiday Grocery Store Barbies and the Victorian Elegance Barbies that you can also get for some holiday spirit along with angel Barbies and more, but I'd stick with these whether you're a collector or just a mom to a little girl who loves getting a special Barbie every year.<br />

Bathrobes that Geeks Will Love</h3>
These bathrobes are perfect for the geek in your life from superhero bathrobes to a Jedi bathrobe, Star Trek bathrobes and more. These bathrobes certainly wouldn't look out of place on any of the characters from The Big Bang Theory so fans of this show might enjoy some of these selections as well.
<br />
<br />
I think everyone deserves a nice bathrobe and if you can find one on someone's favorite character or hobby then you're off to a great start. I know many self confessed geeks who would love these bathrobes, the only problem comes with deciding which one they like the most!
<br />
<br />
Let's have a look at the bathrobes I've compiled for your favorite geek, although I should let you know that even non-geeks could enjoy some of these bath robes.
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Superhero Bathrobes</h3>
Superheroes are loved by everyone, but the geek in your life will have quite a few of his own thoughts with regards to his favorite superhero. You only have to listen to an episode of The Big Bang Theory to realize that identifying your superhero is nothing, those television geeks take it to a whole new level!
<br />
<br />
For all of the superhero robes that I've been able to source check out this page - <a href="http://unique-and-funky-gifts.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/superhero-bathrobes.html" target="_blank">Superhero Bathrobes</a>.
<br />
<br />
If you know their favorite superhero then you'll want to get them that particular robe, but I have to say that superheroes are only as good as the villains that they're up against which is why I love that I've managed to source a Joker bathrobe for anyone who enjoys Batman.

<h3>
Feel The Force & Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before</h3>
<h2>
Star Wars and Star Trek Bathrobes</h2>
I enjoyed the Star Wars movies, but I loved the classic Star Trek television series and it appears that geeks are divided on the merits of each of this sci-fi franchises let alone the individual Star Wars movies and Star Trek series from original series through to Deep Space Nine.
<br />
<br />
Luckily it doesn't matter which you prefer you can get bathrobes to celebrate and if you don't like either we also have Doctor Who bathrobes available.
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Star Trek Bathrobes</h3>
<h2>
A Bathrobe That Can Boldly Go Where No Man Has Been Before!</h2>
If your inner geek is also a Trekkie (or you're buying for a Trekkie geek) then these bathrobes are perfect, all you have to decide is whether you're Captain Kirk, Spock or Scotty.......... yes you can get all of the different colors with these Star Trek bathrobes.

These officially licensed Star Trek Bathrobes are available in the gold Command color (think Captain Kirk), the blue Science color (think Spock) and the red Security color (think Scotty).<br />
<br />
They are all made of 100% polyester fleece (which means they're very warm and comfy) and have the Star Trek insignia on the chest.<br />
<br />
Absolutely awesome gift idea for any fan of this classic sci-fi series.<br />

Of course some people prefer the Next Generation Star Trek instead of the original series and if that's the case then we've got you covered! I've also found a woman's Star Trek robe, although to be honest the 'so-called' men's robes are, in my opinion, really unisex!

<h3>
Star Wars Bathrobes</h3>
<h2>
The Force is Strong with These Bathrobes!</h2>
If you're a Star Wars geek then you'll love the selection of bathrobes I've found for you here and there are certainly lots to choose from including a Jedi bathrobe, Chewbacca bathrobe, R2-D2 robe and many more. Let's explore the plethora of Star Wars bathrobes available to buy online.
<br />
<br />
With so many cool Star Wars bathrobes to choose from it's hard to know where to begin so we're going to go in alphabetical order starting with the infamous Darth Vader himself -
<br />

This Darth Vader bathrobe would be great for my hubby as he has the 'Luke, I am your father,' routine down pat, but to be honest it would probably drive me nuts if he said that every morning.<br />
<br />
Luckily his Yoda impersonation is just as good and I prefer it so a Yoda robe it might have to be!<br />

This Jedi bathrobe is made from a soft 100% polyester and when you put the hood up it is so warm and snuggly you'll never want to take it off!<br />
<br />
Even if it wasn't a Jedi robe a long and hooded robe is always a cozy choice especially in the middle of winter!<br />
