North Pole Kids Club #Review! #HolidayGiftGuide #HGG2016

The North Pole Kid's Club Official Membership Kit contains a North Pole Kid's Club Official Handbook, a Letter from Santa, an Official Elf Hat, Santa's Magic Key, Elf Certificate, and so much more!

The handbook includes a Kid's Club Elf Meter that gives the kids 6 activities to complete like reading the story, cleaning the house to get it ready for Santa and Christmas, making reindeer food, do something nice and helpful for someone else, do a craft or entertain others, and to have some family time, another craft or a Christmas Tradition. When all of these activities are complete, the child or children become fully-trained North Pole Kids and part of the North Pole Kid's Club!

The magic key is to be hung on the front door to lead Santa straight to your Christmas tree or next to their stockings. After Santa uses the key, he often puts it on the Christmas Tree.

There's also directions to make Magic Reindeer Food, Finley's Favorite Cookie, a Night Before Christmas Checklist, Arts & Crafts Instructions and much more!



My Review:
My children really enjoyed finding their boxes brought to them by their Elves! The opened them up, checked out the book, activity books, put on the hats, read the letter from Santa, and found the Magic Key!

I really like the North Pole Kid's club Kit! Out of all of the different and unique kid's things like Elf on a Shelf and Magic Key's with a storybook, this one is the best! The looks on my children's faces were priceless! I couldn't do or create anything on my own that would have brought them so much joy and curiosity as to why they got them! Why would Santa send these special kits to them! We are really enjoying doing the activities together and we already made our reindeer food!

HURRY and order yours today at www.NorthPoleKidsClub.com! The sooner you order it, the better!

Keep Your Children Warm with Hats & Baby Blankets From Pebble by Kahiniwalla This Winter! #Review #HGG2016 #HolidayGiftGuide

The Winter weather brings some chills and you need to make sure your kid’s are warm for the season! Pebble by Kahiniwalla has you covered with the most adorable and one-of-a-kind hats you and your babies will love!

Kahiniwalla is a business which distributes Fair Trade products and tells the story behind those products. They care about the quality of their products, how they’re made with the bigger picture in mind. Pebble is one of these products designed by Samantha Morshed, a social entrepreneur based in Bangladesh. Samantha's vision for Pebble of providing a place close to rural homes in Dhaka where women could work flexible hours was just what over 12,000 rural women were looking for. These rural workplaces provide a welcome alternative to women moving to a large city to work in the garment industry leaving their families behind and making themselves vulnerable to unsafe, unjust and sometimes violent situations.

About Kahiniwalla- Pebble

Kahiniwalla was established in 2010 by Austin and Marita Miller. Upon his return from work as a product designer with Mennonite Central Committee's job creation program in Bangladesh, Austin and his wife Marita wanted to continue helping to provide employment for the poor of Bangladesh and decided to do so by distributing Pebble’s high quality handmade products in North America. If you would like to learn more information about Pebble please visit http://kahiniwalla.com.

My Review:
My daughter and I had a chance to review this adorable Rag Doll Sophia! She is dressed in a funky, flower-power skirt and blouse, Sophia carries an orange crochet shoulder bag to complete her gorgeous outfit. Their Rag Dolls are 45cm tall and made from 100% cotton fabrics and yarn. She's super cute and soft. My four and a half year old carries her everywhere, including to bed.

About Pebble:
At Pebble we like to think that our toys spread smiles worldwide: the ladies who make them in Bangladesh smile because the toys bring them work, the parents smile because the toys keep their babies happy and enable them to shop with a conscience and the babies smile – well you can see why!

All Pebble products are made in Bangladesh by the extremely talented and capable artisans at Hathay Bunano ps. We love their workmanship and we love rural Bangladesh. Pebble toys are our small contribution to supporting families in rural Bangladesh, to removing the need for economic migration to the cities and to providing women with flexible working opportunities which are close to their homes.

Pebble products are made entirely by hand with natural materials and as such there will be slight variations in size, colour and design in line with the unique nature of this product.
