Xfyro ANC

When you look at different pairs of earbuds, they all seem the same. However, if you pay close attention to Xfyro ANC premium wireless earbuds, you will immediately notice that they stand out from the crowd. What makes them different from the competition?

Xfyro ANC has several impressive features, which I consider make the product worth the investment:

• Active noise cancellation and transparency mode
• IPX5 is water-resistant making it a wearable product for any type of owner
• 100-hour battery life – one of the longest I’ve seen so far
• Compatibility with multiple devices
• Bluetooth 5.0
• Type-C quick charging – ideal for active persons
• Touch controls
• Secure and ultra-comfortable
• LED indication onmodes and connection

Xfryo will be a very useful gift for even your most hard to buy for Christmas gift recipients!

EyeJust Blue Light Blocking Screen Protectors

EyeJust blue light blocking screen protectors are the perfect practical gift for all your family and friends.  Many people today have an iPhone or iPad, possibly a laptop as well.  With all of us spending so much time looking at screens, we need to protect our eyes, skin, and sleep.  There are glasses for that, but those are hard to keep up with and are often not used enough to make a difference.  Therefore give the solution in stockings this year.  EyeJust has embedded blue light blocking technology directly into the screen.  It is easy to apply and is clear just like a regular screen protector.  92% of participants in a recent Sleepscore study reported less eye strain, and 71% slept better.  EyeJust blue light blocking screen protectors are 5 times the strength of a standard protector, and they block more blue light than other brands.  You can get them for most models of iPhones, iPads, and laptops, so don’t wait, order yours now.  Who wouldn’t want to sleep better, have better skin, and protect their eyes!

XinoSports Kids Inline Skates

I have fond memories of strapping on my skates as a child and racing my cousin to the end of her paved driveway and back. Sure, it consisted of some scraped elbows and knees, but I wouldn’t trade the memories for anything! Especially now, we need to encourage exercise and fresh air for our kiddos. These inline skates from Xino Sports do just that and promise memories to go along with the exercise!

Kids grow up so fast, but that’s not an issue for these roller skates for boys and girls. They expand up to four sizes, so they can use them from their youth all the way to young adulthood! Choose from two sizes: Youth Medium (Size 1-4) and Youth Large (Size 5-8). Xino Sports also carries these skates in a Rose and Fuchsia design. These inline skates have a thick, soft padding that keeps kids’ feet happy as a clam while skating around. The inner foam lining and rust-resistant aluminum frame provide support to the foot and ankle that simply can’t be matched. Others use glue to keep the skates together; Xino stitches theirs. The result is a much higher quality, durable skate.

These skates are PERFECT for you adventure seeking little one!

Lock Paper Scissors Printable Escape Room Kits

What do you do to keep your kids busy at home? Have you ever tried the DIY Escape Room Games from Lock Paper Scrissors? They launched interesting games that will put your scissors skills to a challenge. They are ideal not only for kids, but also for adults. What’s more, you can download the play-anywhere escape kit and print it to start playing. Once you have everything printed, all you need to do is grab your “weapons”, aka scissors, and start playing. I need to warn you about something. After the first game, it will be difficult to stop playing it and call your friends to come over and play together.

For example, you can start with the Envy Escape Kit. This is a Gatsby style murder mystery game of deadly feuds and debaucherous luxury. If you fancy about a stay-at-home night of blood-stained and velvet gloves, then this is a good choice for you. Another game that my kids absolutely loved was the Lost Mummy. If your children love the Egyptian culture, then this game includes different puzzling artifacts that they will need to setup in less than 20 minutes. The laughs, giggles, excitement, and memories created while playing these games are irreplaceable.

Laptop Tower Stand

Working from home just got easier! The Minder Tower Stand Laptop Stand by obVus SOLUTIONS will work well in the office, but for those of us juggling home and work at once, this will streamline your day.

The Tower II elevates your laptop or tablet up to 13 inches from the tabletop. Place it on the kitchen table or countertop and unless you are very tall like LeBron James, you will love having your screen near eye level. No more Quasimodo backaches from hunching over your keyboard. Your computer will like the airflow it gets, keeping it cool.

Cre8ive Crayons

During the Covid pandemic of 2020, Susan Goldman was home with her then, 5-year-old daughter Jessie and searching for fun activities they could do together. Susan has always been creative…she even designed her own prom dress! Being stuck inside reignited her crafty side and the mother-daughter duo started making unique crayons out of old, broken crayons. Jessie (and her friends) loved the Cre8ive Crayonz so much, Susan decided to turn it into a business! From full sets that make the perfect gift to themed crayons in bulk for party favors, Susan can make just about anything you want. One of my favorites is the crayon name custom notepad. Having a gift personalized makes it extra special. Speaking of gifts, for the holidays, she has made adorable Christmas and Hanukkah crayons that make wonderful stocking stuffers.

If you have someone on your shopping list that is hard of hearing – look no farther! ZVOX has got you covered with this TV speaker!

ZVOX uses hearing aid technology to get the sound out from under the TV and distribute it into the room and it works! No more TV blasting at max volume during family gatherings.

GIGI Building Bloks

I remember as a little girl making castles out of cardboard boxes and sheets – I felt like a queen (pun totally intended 🙂 ). I can only imagine the fun I would have had with these super fun Gigi Bloks! It never failed as I was building the sheet would fall (or my brother would give them a shove) and tear down my handiwork. We won’t discuss what ensued after a brother destroys a queens castle… ahem.

I can’t wait to build my niece her own Gigi Blok Castle and I will gladly be the guardswoman over the castle. No little brothers will destroy this castle!

These building bloks feature interlocking design like many of the smaller building blocks on the market. Gigi’s is built out of sturdy cardboard and snaps together so you don’t have to worry about a younger sibling or pet bumping them and knocking over your work of art!

Children’s imaginations have always marveled me – the sky is truly the limit. Whether you are building a castle, a dragon, or a car wash Gig’s takes it to the next level of fun!

QB54 Football Game

Do you have a serious baller on your Christmas list? My in-laws are serious about ball – doesn’t matter what kind! They are fanatics about basketball, football, soccer, baseball, and any other kind of ball. We ALWAYS play some kind of “ball” at family gatherings – ALWAYS! I am going to be everyone’s new favorite person at our next get together when I pull out QB54!

QB54 is a combination of football and cornhole – only so much BETTER! Like cornhole, absolutely any age can play and dominate!

I have two teenage boys who are always popping up with friends in tow. I know QB54 is going to be a HUGE hit with them as they make s’mores by the fire this fall.

NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES From ZVOX

My son is a true “Techie”. He loves EVERYTHING technology and is always on the hunt for the latest and greatest tech. He gives these noise cancelling headphones from ZVOX FIVE STARS! An 18 year old giving anything five stars is a BIG DEAL!

The AV50s are lighter than many noise cancelling headphones — less than half a pound. Add that to the fact that they can truly cancel out the roar of jet as it takes off and I would have to agree with the teenager – ZVOX has left the competition in the dust! My son loves the bass boost these headphones give and the clarity while he’s watching an episode of “The Office” is amazing!

True Tot Tower from True Growth

My “baby” is now looking down to me. I can only imagine what a difference this True Tot Tower would have made when she was younger helping me in the kitchen. I can’t wait to see my 11 month old niece helping her mom bake cookies in her “Tower”!

The thing I love most about Shashibo is that it gives families something to bond over. Kids and grandparents alike can gave a competition to see who can come up with different shapes. I love products that bring generations together and Shashibo does just that! What are you waiting for?
