Amazing Gift Ideas #Holiday2025

More amazing gift ideas and finds for the Holiday Season!

It's time to ditch the glitter balls. The world's first and only liquid bath bombs have arrived. TOA Waters, a Maryland-based self-care small business that’s redefining the way people relax, has unveiled the world’s first and only Liquid Bath Bombs, a revolutionary update to an old-time favorite. Designed with organic, plant-powered ingredients, these liquid bath bombs deliver a cleaner, longer-lasting, and more hydrating soak, without the glitter, residue, or dryness of traditional bath bombs.

Nicole Clarece has a new line of dresses designed for the real lives of active moms - the kind of women who leave a meeting, grab their kids from school, swing by the park, and maybe even sneak in a pickleball match - all before dinner. Instead of coming home and peeling off work clothes for sweats or “mom clothes,” these dresses give you that same comfort - but in a silhouette polished enough for the office, durable enough for the playground, and chic enough for cocktails. I got the Betty, and am so excited to wear it for our upcoming Holiday Cruise! Stay tuned to see a post when I wear it for Embarkation! Yay!

It can be hard to figure out what to do with all the artwork that kids create. This holiday season, parents can transform their kids’ masterpieces into the stars of their holiday cards. The cards, by Handwrytten, can be customized with any artwork or photograph, and robot elves armed with pens even learn your handwriting to make the holiday card creation and sending process as easy as Rudolph flying through the air. We sent a card to Callan, and he told me he didn't realize I had such nice handwriting, ha ha! But it was beautiful and so perfect! Plus super easy!

The Candy Land Candy Crafting Kits from Cricket’s Candy Creations and Hasbro turn the beloved board game into a hands-on, edible art project for kids and parents to enjoy together. Even with an older child, we enjoyed this family activity and had so much fun and laughter! The Deluxe “crEATable” Kit includes everything needed to build and decorate four colorful Candy Land worlds, from Lollipop Woods to King Kandy’s Castle. It’s a fun, screen-free way to get creative and spend quality time together during the holidays.

For a more meaningful and mission-driven gift idea this year, try The Comeback Collection from EmBOSSed Book Club - a self-development book box subscription that gives back in a powerful way. The box includes 12 transformative books - one for each month - designed to help readers reflect and grow. What makes this gift truly unique? For every box purchased, they send an identical set to someone incarcerated as part of the BOSS UP Reading Challenge. It’s a beautiful way to inspire personal growth and support second chances. They also include a free gift in the box of every subscriber, and incarcerated individuals receive a booklet of thought-provoking questions designed to spark personal insight, purpose, and meaningful change. They are an upcycled nonprofit that repurposes books, hires justice-impacted individuals, and ships with sustainability in mind. This is a meaningful, socially-conscious gift that truly stands out.

Something perfect to pass down to him for his own tree someday!

#Halloween2025 Ferocious Finds For #Fall2025

Even though Halloween is not really a gifting holiday, other than candy of course - we still like to give (and get, smirk) gifts! Here are a few we think are freakishly cool!

The Soap Cauldron brings us the Bathe In Peace set! Enjoy any one of our classic scents of Bar Soap and Body Butter made with gourmet oils and butters. The gift set includes one of three classic blends in a sleek and custom-made gift box.

The rich and smooth lather of these bar soaps pamper skin while naturally retained glycerin moisturizes all over. Set Includes: 1- Bar Soap, 1 - Body Butter, 1 - Handcrafted Coffin Gift Box in a variety of designs.

Rookie Mage Games gives us Don't Get Stabbed!, a party game where you get to kill your family and friends - for pretend, of course. It’s inspired by horror movies like Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Scream, but is light-hearted enough for everyone to enjoy. The perfect gift for a horror fan. This entertaining game is playable for 3 to 5 players. One person is elected as the killer (whoever is the most evil in your group), and the rest are victims. The killer wins by killing all the victims. The victims win by escaping. The average player will love this game for its gameplay! The horror fan will love the art on many of these cards, which features classic horror movie tropes. There are tons of fun in playing this game and in its artwork.

I think my fave was the Caesar's Calendar - Step back in time to the innovation of Ancient Rome with Caesar’s Calendar, a puzzle inspired by the iconic Julian Calendar introduced in 46 BC.

This ingenious puzzle challenges you to arrange the pieces to display the current date. With solutions for all 365 days of the year, Caesar’s Calendar offers a daily brain workout worthy of a True Genius. Combining historical significance with hands-on problem-solving, it’s perfect for anyone who loves puzzles, history, or unique challenges.

Jason loved the Egyptian Triglyph, he took it to work with him so he could have it at his desk. Dive into the mysteries of ancient geometry with the Egyptian Triglyph, a captivating puzzle inspired by the ingenuity of pyramid builders. Your first challenge is to extract the concealed cube hidden within the puzzle. But the journey doesn’t end there - reassemble the cube within the framework of the mystic pyramid to complete the ultimate brainteaser.

And Callan was thrilled to try the Lost Treasure Collection, a 5-Pack of Brainteasers. Chinese Fireworks: Take apart and reassemble this explosive geometric puzzle. Egyptian Labyrinth: Navigate the labyrinth to release the inner ring. Aztec Pok-A-Tok: Disassemble and reassemble this culturally inspired puzzle challenge. Grecian Gears: Maneuver through interlocking gears to free the ring. Roman Vault: Take apart and reconstruct this intricate ancient-inspired puzzle.

Brilliant Or BS? #Holiday2020

Always wanted to call out your friends and family on their BS? Well now you can with the hilarious bluffing party game that proves it's not what you know - it's what others think you know. Brilliant Or BS!

Be Brilliant! Impress family and friends with all the random stuff you've learned doing your Googles. Or Bring the BS! Bluff, brag, and bend the truth. Do whatever it takes to convince the other players that you know the right answer - even if you're actually clueless. Brilliant Or BS was created by TV challenge producer Kimelia Weathers Smith, a Washington D.C. native who turned her joy for hosting game nights for her friends into a career developing challenges for reality competition shows. Brilliant Or BS was born out of her love of bluffing games and her passion for bringing people together through conversation. With the support of nearly 200 backers, the Kickstarter campaign successfully raised over $10,000 to fund the game's first print order.

We got the First Edition and it is a fun family game to play! I say that because it is cool Callan could play with us, and it is not just for adults. It is technically a party game for 4-6 players. It has 88 trivia questions (Categories include Entertainment, Food & Drink, Geography, Sports, History, Science & Tech). Six sets of ABC answer cards. Instructions. Fun for the whole family (Ages 14+ it recommends, but Callan is 12 and did just fine!).

There are a few other Expansion Packs with new cards, like Fresh BS, Brilliant and Black, which celebrates Black culture, and the NSFW cards which is definitely 18+! This game is perfect for hanging with the fam through the holidays! Well, maybe not the NSFW cards, ha ha!
