July 28, 2017 by 0 Comments

If you are having a hard time deciding on what gift you will give to a kid – your child, nephew, niece or godchild on his or her birthday, then you’ve come to the right place! Surely, at the end of this article, you will be able to finally decide on what gift to share.Check out – 5 Great Kids Birthday Gift Ideas.

For kids, birthday gifts aren’t just for their entertainment or use, it is also a representation of your love and attention to them. By giving a gift that you know they will like very much, kids will surely be more motivated and happy. They begin to see that you understand their interests, that you pay attention to them. That is why always think about the gift that you will give as it can greatly benefit the kid in ways that you don’t even realize. And without further ado, here are 5 great gifts for your kid’s birthday.

1.) Books

There are still kids that love to read books!  They aren’t always “glued” to electronics – trust me.  (Ex. Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Warrior Cat series, etc.)  Getting them a fun book will be the best birthday gift. Try choosing a thought provoking book, that is also fun and enjoyable. This way, you will not just be giving them a source of happiness but also guide them into a world of imagination.

2.) Latest Game

Playing is very important for kids, it is still the most effective recreational activity to promote their positive mood and restore their motivation. As long as you can control their playing time and exposure to video games, then getting the latest game as their birthday gift will surely make them happy. (And you can probably play together!)

3.) Stylish and Trendy Clothes

One of the safest and famous birthday gifts are definitely clothes. While they may seem easy and less impactful, a very stylish and trendy set of clothes might just end up as their favorite birthday gift if you get their current tastes right. Today, kids are very easily influenced by their favorite super hero or anime characters, if you get them clothes with their favorite character on it, then they’ll definitely like it. In fact, I bet that once they see it, they will automatically wear it the next time they change clothes.

4.) Shoes

Shoes are very practical birthday gifts, it is a necessity for kids. However, you need to be very careful on what type of shoes you need to get for them. Kids also love to brag about their brand new shoes to their friends, therefore, you need to give them the style that they like. If they are a Golden State Warriors fan, then a Curry shoe must be your gift. If you give them a LeBron or Kyrie instead, then expect it to be stored on the shelf for a very long time as they will most likely never wear it. (Think of it as a prize or trophy.)

5.) Electric Scooters

  1. With the emergence of electric scooters, kids today will not tire themselves from just kicking the ground in order to gain speed in their scooters. If they like to play outdoors with their friends, then getting them an electric scooter with a low top speed will surely make their birthday the best. However, make sure that you buy the safety gear along with the electric scooter to give your kid the protection they need.

Unabrow – Misadventures of a Late Bloomer Review and Giveaway!

April 17, 2015 by 1 Comment

Sometimes it’s a books cover page that catches your attention.  Sometimes it’s the books title that guides you to pick it up and peruse what’s inside.  And then there’s a book that catches your eye with a glance and has you laughing in seconds, and that is how I came to read “Unabrow – Misadventures of a Late Bloomer” by Una Lamarche

Unabrow

Described as the literary love child of Nora Ephron and Mindy Kaling, Una Lamarche guides you through her childhood of being, shall I say “graced” with brows that covered a substantial part of her forehead and growing up in the ’90’s.  (A personal favorite decade.  “Beverly Hills 90210” forever!!).  Her writing is clever, very witty and – I’ve been told – is not acceptable bedtime reading because I was laughing too loudly.

The life lessons and hilarious realizations had me giggling so hard and shaking my head saying ‘Ha! Exactly!’ so often that I’m counting this reading as my daily cardio.  Along with her wise and witty words there are a few photos and Pie Charts perfectly placed to further her point.

If you want to read something that will make you feel connected, bring joy to your day and add an “imaginary” best friend to your life pick up a copy of Una Lamarche’s “Unabrow – Misadventures of a Late Bloomer”.  Or, better yet, how would you like to win a copy?  Enter through the Rafflecopter below.  Good luck!
