2020 Airplanes and Dragonflies Christmas Gift Guide - Photowall - Wall Murals, Framed Prints, and More, Review and #Giveaway! (Worldwide) Ends 12/6

Could you imagine opening one of your Christmas presents and opening up a beautiful poster, framed print, or a beautiful photo on canvas to hang on your wall! My eight year old daughter has a new found love for wanting to travel to Paris, France. When she opened the box with the framed print of the Eiffel Tower, she was so happy that she could look at it everyday and she's began to start saving money for her trip when she's eighteen. Maybe I'll get to go with her, or maybe she'll take a friend. But it's neat when you have a dream to travel some place you've never been before. This framed photo will be hanging in her bedroom for years to come with a jar underneath it full of money for her Paris trip. This mama will make sure her baby girl gets to go there too!

This framed photo of the Eiffel Tower is so beautiful! I wished that I would have ordered a larger one. Maybe someday in the future, I will be able to afford to upgrade it for her. It's well made and comes ready to hang up on most any wall. Check out more information below about Photowall and their awesome, beautiful amazing products.

"What’s Cooking at 10 Garden Street" by Felicita Sala (Prestel Junior; ISBN: 978-3791373973; Hardcover $14.95; Ages 6-9; 48 pages)

This delightfully illustrated children's cookbook offers a global menu of dishes to share with friends, family, and neighbors.

About the book:
Something delicious is cooking in the old apartment building on Garden Street! Pilar is mixing gazpacho, Monsieur Ping is stir-frying broccoli, Señora Flores is preparing a pot of beans, and Josef and Rafik are rolling meatballs. Other neighbors are making mini-quiches, baba ganoush, dhal, and peanut butter cookies. When they're all finished cooking everyone gathers in the garden to enjoy a delicious meal and each other's company. Each inviting spread in this storybook offers a recipe from a different culinary tradition. Dishes that kids love, like guacamole, spaghetti, and banana bread are interspersed with others that include less familiar ingredients, such as mirin, tahini, and turmeric. The recipes explain how each dish is made and come with fun and detailed illustrations. Combining simple, fresh flavors with recipes from around the world, this book will nourish and inspire budding cooks while whetting the appetites of their more experienced helpers.

"How Winston Delivered Christmas" is a cute story book with 25 days worth of stories. This book is meant to be read starting December 1st, and finishing the last chapter on Christmas Day, December 25th. I didn't read past the first chapter because I want to share this book with my children starting December 1st!

The Smithsonian Exploration Station: Space & Human Body

The Smithsonian Exploration Station: Space
Take a trip into the stratosphere with Smithsonian Exploration Station: Space! With informative text and full-color photographs, young astronomers will learn about the intricate makeup of our solar system as well as distant galaxies and constellations. The 56-page fact book combined with the sticker sheet, space figurines to play with, and the glow-in-the-dark stars make this space experience interactive and engaging.

Includes:
56-page fact book
30 stickers
22 glow-in-the-dark stars
2 figurines (astronaut and rocket)

Discover what makes your blood pump and your muscles stretch in this hands-on learning experience! With fascinating facts, full-color photographs, a plastic model skeleton, and 25 fact cards, Smithsonian Exploration Station: Human Body is a fun, engaging way to learn about the inner workings of the complex systems that make the human body.

Includes:
56-page fact book
30 stickers
1 plastic model skeleton (13 pieces)
25 fact cards

There are three The Smithsonian Exploration Station: Space, World Atlas, and The Human Body (6-8 years; $21.99) Kits. The World Atlas set looks just as awesome as the ones above. A study was recently done on what children and adults would rather have for Christmas, a gift or an experience? Most everyone chose an experience. Reading these books and playing with these Exploration Station sets can fuel your child or grandchild's imagination. Maybe you will help them to become a space explorer, world traveler, a nurse, doctor, or something more!

My thoughts:
Both my six and nine year old girls love their kits! They both agreed on who would get which set, but they've been sharing them! My six year old daughter is finally reading, so these are perfect for her. I can see classrooms ordering these to use with their science lessons in schools. Especially when small children are just starting to learn about space and our planets, how the human body looks on the inside and how things work, and especially when they start learning about the states they live in, and that the world is so much bigger than they believe. Any child ages six to nine years of age would be happy to receive one of these for Christmas!

2017 Airplanes & Dragonflies Christmas Gift Guide: Macaron for Hair Review & #Giveaway (2 Winners)! (U.S.) Ends 11/7 #HolidayGiftGuide #ChristmasGiftGuide #StockingStuffer

Our obsession with being French is reaching new heights…literally. Macarons are available in six different flavors to suit every personality. Raspberry, Black Licorice Framboise, Mint Citron, Lemon Pistachio, Rose Petal, and Lavender.

Macaron for Hair® is the Parisian-inspired hairbrush that is every bit as chic as it is travel-friendly.

Part high-end detangler and part compact mirror, the bite-sized Macaron for Hair gently and quickly smooths tangles in half the time of traditional brushes. That means less breakage, less frizz, and no more looking like a disheveled mess after a lengthy flight.

The pop-on/pop-off cover works double time as a bristle protector and compact mirror—perfect for travel and on-the-go styling! Strategically sturdy radial bristles are combined with a lightweight ergonomic design for optimum comfort, control, and tangle taming for every hair age, type, and texture.

Its petite size and protective cover make it the perfect stowaway in your purse or carry-on luggage.

Results: Fast and gentle detangling, without the breakage and pulling caused by other brushes. Hair is smoother, frizz-free, and full of shine.

Suggested Usage: Macaron for Hair® works magic on every hair age including children’s hair, be it wet or dry, curly or straight, thick or thin, real or synthetic.

This is how big/small it is in my five year old daughter's hand!

My girls using their Macarons. Yes, my youngest is a ham!

My Review:
The outside of the case that looks like a big Macaron cookie is super soft. But not so soft that you can't hold onto it. It doesn't slip out of your hand easily. These are great for little hands and for traveling. We are planning a trip next year and my girls can take their own brushes with them and I won't have to brush their hair because they can do it themselves! Little girls, teenagers and college students will love these! They fit easily into purses, backpacks and more. These are also pretty tough. My girls have dropped theirs on the floor a few times, on the hard floor! I thought that they were going to break the mirrors. But they haven't.

Purchase your Macaron for Hair travel brush here: https://www.milkandsass.com/macaron/ or on amazon.com. These retail for $12.99 on both websites.
