Offering cool picks and tips since 2007, it’s rare to come across a completely unique product that forges it’s own path. And while cute kids shoes were one of the first reviews I ever conducted and continue to be a favorite find of mine, none are exactly like Shomees. Part kids’ shoe and part toy, the box it arrives in transforms into a habitat for the plush “Aqua” or “Blaze” which arrive with the shoes. Stickers to decorate along with well-designed graphics a box made from recycled materials, Shoemees make a fun gift which I can’t usually say about shoes since we want the kids’ to be as excited as their parents about a present.
Shoemees, made from a leather/suede combo, are breathable and look super comfortable (although I haven’t tried them on myself). Ranging in size from 10-1 they are ideal for children 4-9 years old and continue to expand their offerings. Shoemees retail for $39.9 and we have a coupon code (see below) and do make a special gift for lucky little ones.
See the Shoemees box transformation for yourself in this short video. I can guarantee you haven’t seen anything quite like it before hence garnering a top pick designation from us!
Use code “shee1″ for $5.95 (shipping) off your Shoomees order and be sure to follow Shoemees on Twitter and Facebook too.
When I originally signed up to compete in a Tough Mudder obstacle course mud run, the date didn’t click. Just the other day I realized a morning of breakfast in bed and extra pampering was not to be this year for me. Instead I’ll be getting a different kind of “mud treatment” making a spa trip post-race a delightful prospect.
Spa gift cards are a go to gift for my own mother and mother-in-law each year; we make a ”Spa Day” an annual post-Mother’s Day event. Spa Week Gift cards, which can be remeemed for spa visits nationwide, can be found at CVS along with many other gift card options for mom. As we previously reported from our local CVS pharmacy, they have a vast array of gift card options ranging from restaurants to retail. So no stressing over Mother’s Day gifts this year. Head to CVS, grab a card and gift card, and try not to spend the day jumping into mud pools or carring logs up a hill!
This year, rather than a gift guide, I will soon be sharing a Mother’s Day Gift Pick to feature on the site. In the meantime, check out this contest by one of my favorite companies, M-Edge, creator of the coolest covers for your technology.
Post a family photo that you think would make a great iPad or e-reader jacket to M-Edge’s Facebook Page. They will select 10 winners at random to receive their special gift (custom cover) in time for Mother’s Day! All contestants will receive a 20% off promo code to design their own. Contest ends 4/27 11:59 PM EST. Check out their Mother’s Day Gift Guide too.
We’ve been spolied in the Northeast lately with mild temperatures and have been outside playing much sooner in the season than normal. This weekend, when the weather turned cooler and wetter, a more typical March day for us, the family was once again relugated indoors looking for dance party and learning time alternatives. The Mickey Mouse Greenhouse by Peachtree Playthings, who partnered with Scotts Miracle-Gro, was just what the doctor ordered. (Speaking of doctors, Doc McStuffins continues to be a huge hit, so I’d like to take this opportunity to lobby Comcast to get Disney Junior channel in NEPA!) I can barely keep the three plants in my house alive, so the idea of a vegrtable garden is foreign to both myself and my children whose idea of gardening is helping to rake leaves. I love that it introduced them to the process as our Disney charachter friends guided us to plant tomatos, sweet peppers and cucumbers. Each character is designated a different vegrtable, and a cardboard cutout reminded us that plants need soil and sun to surive. We added water to special safe and non-toxic Miracle-Gro Gro-Mix, added our seeds and Disney friends and the greenhouse now sits on the kitchen counter, soaking in the sun until mini-veggies appear in a week or so.
With other varieties including the Disney Princess Castle and Disney Fairies Pixie Hollow Greenhouses, Peachtree Playthings Miracle-Gro Flower and Vegetable Gardens are not only fun family activities but will be my go to preschooler gift at just $12.99. Check them all out and find a retailer near you.

When you have 10 and 13 year old boys, not many toys impresses them anymore. Fireworks in my room did impress both my boys. A matter of fact, my ten year old took this out for a sleep over party and all the boys were highly impressed and were talking to about this to their parents the next day. I’m sure there will be several units purchased after this sleepover. Allof the boys said the fireworks were amazing, they kept this gadget out all night. I was impressed with the quality of the sound effects; there is sizzling sounds and crackles, just like real fireworks would sound. The launcher is very easy to use, first you choose your firework; you pump the launcher with air and pull the trigger to view an incredible firework display from the comfort of your bed. This cool gadget is a hit for all ages and great idea for an age segment whose gadgets are typically quite costly.
