As a preschool teacher, I know oneo of my students' favorite toys is magnetic blocks of any kind! They love the "magic" as they stick together and they can use their imagination to create anything they can dream of!

We have a new set of magnet blocks in our classroom this year and they are from Geomag and Magicube! Since 1998 Geomag has been creating award-winning and STEM-enriched toys that help children’s playtime become enriched with educational principles.

Geomag’s 2021 range of Magicube toys is the perfect addition to children’s playtime. Magicube is a unique building block system made up of magnetic cubes that attach to each other on all six sides and are made entirely from 100% recycled plastics. Revolutionary Building Blocks and Shapes What started out as the original Magicube system has now become a whole new world of magnetic building blocks with the new Magicube Shapes and new Full-Color Lines which are the first Magicube lines to be made from 100% recycled plastic. Importantly the new shapes are all fully compatible with all other cubes within the Magicube platform.

Magicube’s intuitive system encourages children to learn and master a range of skills including problem-solving, motor skills, hand/eye coordination, building, color recognition, and counting. The individual cubes and shapes can be attached with the hidden internal magnets meaning the cubes can very quickly become structures like cars, birds, houses, or planes.

The wonder of Magicube is that the cubes can be made into absolutely anything a child wants, as simple or complex as their imagination allows them.

Magicube range are made from 100% recycled plastic giving assurances to parents that children are playing with eco-friendly toys that care about the environment, children, education, and fun in equal measure.

Magicube is available in sets that have 6 pieces to 64 pieces in a range of styles and themes that can all be mixed and joined together meaning the Magicube grows with your child. By playing with the individual cubes the youngest of children begin to develop their first manual skills, and as they grow older Magicube Shapes are a powerful add-on to allow them to build more complex constructions.

You can purchase The Magicube Shapes 32 Piece Set at Target.com at a price of $49.99

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

One of our children's favorite at-home activities to do is make forts - forts out of blankets, chairs, tents, pillows...whatever they can find! They love to read and play in them for hours! There’s something magical about an indoor fort that brings joy to every child.

Well now they can take their imagination and fort-building skills to a whole new level with their new Make-A-Fort Kit! It's the perfect gift for bored children during the summer or the long winter months ahead!

You just open it up and unpack 18 sturdy cardboard panels, 10 braces, 80 connectors and a handy carrying case. What happens next is totally up to the imagination of each child. A maze? A mansion? An igloo? Whatever they design, feel good about them playing inside for hours of their just-built creation.

My son got this Make-A-Fort kit for his birthday and he instantly wanted to open it up and start building! My three kids worked together to build their own individual forts/homes for themselves and had fun adding in blankets, lights and so much more! Our living room was instantly transformed to Fort-ville! :)

They were easy to put together and can make so many different possibilities for fun forts! It really was a hit with my kids! I can see lots more fort-building and fun in our future!

Engage your child’s imagination by building then immersing themselves inside incredible forts, mazes, tunnels, and structures. Forts offer quality time building and playing with every member of the family. The open-ended play offers truly endless possibilities of walking, sitting, crawling inside really big forts. All Make-A-Fort kits boast heavy-duty corrugated cardboard that is strong, durable, and eco-friendly. Get your today and make fun family memories that will last a lifetime!

Make a sweet Valentine’s Day Craft with Wonderful Halos

2021-02-05T13:37:00.001-06:00

A product was given for review from Wonderful Halos for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

My kids LOVE to make crafts so when I saw that they could make a cute craft out of one of their favorite snack, Wonderful Halos mandarins, I knew they would REALLY LOVE it!

Wonderful Halos mandarins are sweet, seedless, easy-to-peel snacks both kids and parents love and they are so easy to eat on the go or around the house!

And now you can even use them to make crafts - How Fun! These little Halos love bugs take just minutes to assemble, but the joy on your recipients’ faces when they see them will be more than worth it.

Check out directions for the family-friendly, DIY Valentine’s Day craft, the “Halos Love Bugs.” below:

What you need:

Halos mandarins
Foam hearts in two sizes, large and small
Toothpicks
Googly eyes
Glitter glue
Glue spots

Using glue spots, adhere a large foam heart underneath the Halos mandarin to create feet. They stick out like a sweet pair of sneakers!
Insert clean toothpicks into two smaller foam hearts (or if the foam hearts are thin, use a sticky dot on the back of the foam heart) and then insert the toothpicks into the top of the Halos mandarin next to each other to serve as lovey-dovey antennae.
Use the glue spots once more to attach the googly eyes to the front of your love bug. You can use big, close-together googly eyes for an inquisitive-looking love bug or smaller, further apart ones for a thoughtful little dude. Or try different shapes for a goofy one!
Then, use glitter glue to make a cute little button nose.

There you have it, the sweetest afternoon treat for Valentine’s Day!

These are perfect for class parties or to bag up to give to classmates as gifts. Have a Halos Love Bug crafting get-together, the perfect activity to engage a whole bunch of kids during a February play date. You could even add hair, arms and miniature love bug clothing, or try to make love bugs reflecting you and your friends’ own personalities. They could also make great gifts from the kids to their teachers, grandparents, aunts, uncles or neighbors. Share the love!

You can purchase Wonderful Halos at your local retail store.

Share the Love of Essential Oils this Holiday Season!

2020-12-15T14:53:00.009-06:00

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I have long been a fan of essential oils and all the uses and health benefits they give! However, I have never tried doTERRA oils and I was so excited to check them out!

If you want to try out essential oils for yourself or stock back up on your favorites, I definitely recommend doTERRA and their Family Essentials Kit this Christmas! The doTERRA Family Essentials Kit contains 10 essential oils and blends—the "feel better" essentials that parents need on a daily basis to care for their families.

I love the variety of oils in this kit - they are all the ones I use the most! Plus, it is a great variety to introduce to a newbie as well!

Experience the infinite ways that doTERRA CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils can help you help your family. This kit contains 5 mL bottles of Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Oregano, Frankincense, Deep Blue®, doTERRA Breathe®, DigestZen®, doTERRA On Guard® along with a quick usage guide for each essential oil and blend included.

And one of the best ways to use oils is to diffuse them! doTerra offers a variety of diffusers for purchase but I was given the beautiful doTERRA Volo Ultrasonic Diffuser and I am loving it! We have been diffusing all the oils in the kit, especially Breathe and On Guard for cold/flu season!

This Volo Diffuser comes in onyx and marble finishes, perfect for any room in the home or office. The Volo has a handcrafted polyresin stone top with a custom diamond pattern and features optional light settings: light-free, warm, and bright amber ambient light settings. This unique diffuser has a customizable output with multiple time settings–one, three, six hours or continuously up to 14 hours--allowing the ability to customize the release of CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils into the air.

I love that I can choose to have it just run for an hour, 3 or 6 hours or just run continuously! It is great for when I don't want to forget to shut it off! It is a beautiful diffuser and matches well with any decor!

If you want to introduce essential oils to someone this holiday season (or just gift yourself!), I highly recommend trying the Family Essentials Kit this Christmas! And don't forget the essential diffuser like the Volo Diffuser! It would make a great gift for anyone!

You can purchase all doTERRA products including the Family Essentials Kit and the Volo Diffuser from their website.

Moisturize Your Face with Clean, Pure Serums from For the Biome

2020-12-10T14:33:00.002-06:00

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

In the winter, I really struggle with dry skin on my face! I don't know if I don't drink enough water or just can't find the right moisturizer, but I dread winter for dry skin!

But I think my fight may finally be over because I just discovered and tried two products from For the Biome and I am LOVIN' them!

For The Biome products are among the cleanest of the clean, purest of the pure. Made with whole-ingredient 100 percent actives devoid of H2O, fillers, preservatives, and additives that can disrupt the innate intelligence of the skin’s microbiome, their Sentient Skincare formulas speak your skin’s language and provide what it needs.

Awaken Eye Serum

Brighten, smooth, and protect the delicate skin of the eye contour with a cooling, roll-on applicator and a medley of volcanic CO2 extracted actives. Wild-harvested rosehip seed brilliantly restores and protects while pomegranate ensures quick, mattifying absorption.

This serum feels so cool and refreshing every time I put it on!

Shield Face Serum

Revel in this symphony of protection as nature's strongest volcanic CO2 extracted actives help defend skin from environmental stress and blue light radiation for a clearer, smoother complexion. A red glow upon application signals activation and quickly absorbs for a translucent, mattified shield.

This serum really adds moisture and seems to keep it all day and to the morning when I put it on at night. It is lightweight and makes my skin so soft!

So if you are looking for help with moisturizing and defending your skin from stress then check out these serums from For the Biome!

Gifts for Everyday Healthier Living from Earth Mama Organics

2020-12-10T13:14:00.005-06:00

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

This holiday season, everyone is focused on staying healthy and Earth Mama Organics has some really great gifts for everyday healthier living and many are travel-friendly! And they are not just for the Mama on your gift list - they are great for the whole family too!

Check out three of my favorite gift ideas from Earth Mama Organics below:

EARTH MAMA MINI DEODORANT 4-PACK

I love that you get to try four flavors in one box! We have been having a hard time finding a natural deodorant that doesn't irritate our underarms. I hadn't tried Earth Mama's deodorant so I was so excited to see if it would bother us and work well.

Earth Mama’s cruelty-free mini deodorants are travel-savvy and squee-cute. Pop one in your purse, the diaper bag, your gym bag or stuff ‘em in stockings with a falala – they are just that good. Refreshing ginger-lime Ginger Fresh Deodorant, tangerine-y Bright Citrus Deodorant, unscented Simply Non-Scents Deodorant, and fresh, soothing Calming Lavender Deodorant. Think you're too sensitive for deodorants with baking soda? You got another thing comin’! This formula was made for extra sensitive skin with the perfect balance of baking soda and magnesium. Just enough to work, not enough to hurt.

I am happy to say that this deodorant is awesome and hasn't irritated my armpits (or my husbands!) and we may have just found our favorite deodorant ever!!

Lavender Hand Sanitizer

We all know the CDC recommends to always wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. But let’s be real: if you’ve ever been on the road with a baby, you know how it is — a Code Brown diaper situation won’t wait for a sink. Or maybe you hit up the grocery store, had to use the shopping cart, and handwashing just isn’t an option. Earth Mama Hand Sanitizer to the rescue!

Formulated according to FDA guidelines, it’s 80% alcohol, free of methanol and 1-propanol, and contains glycerin to leave your hands less dry. So when in doubt, bring both soap AND sanitizer.

But if you’re on the go and soap-and-water-less, go ahead and spritz cruelty-free Earth Mama Hand Sanitizer generously on your hands, rubbing briskly until it’s evaporated. Bonus: you’ll be left with a calming scent of lavender essential oil — welcome during a stressful Code Brown.

This is great to stick in the car after grocery shopping, in your purse or in the glove box!

Lip Balm Quadruplets

I am a tad bit obsessed with lip balms and I am always excited when I get to try new ones!

Introducing the Lip Balm Quadruplets: All four flavors in one. Yep, we’re talking the vanilla-tinged Coconut Smoothie, light as a cloud vanilla-yum Lavender Meringue, classic and beloved Mint Herbal, and the zingy, slightly minty organic Orange Ginger. Keep them all for yourself, or give some away — because this 4-pack is a great little gift for mamas (especially during stocking-stuffer season).

I love that they aren NOT made with petrolatum, artificial colors or flavors! They smell great and go on my lips great!

So if you have a new mama on your gift list or just want to give gifts for a healthier lifestyle this Christmas, check out Earth Mama Organics!

You can purchase all these products and much more from the Earth Mama Organics website.

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

As a preschool teacher, I am always on the lookout for fun, educational toys for both my kids and my preschool classroom!

Some of the best toys around for young kids come from Dr. Stem and ThinAir Brands! I have always found their toys to be so fun, so educational and provide hours and hours of learning and fun!

If you are looking for a fun, educational gift to keep the kids busy if they are learning or doing school from home, then check out some of these gift ideas below:

I talk often to my kids about saving their money instead of spending it and what greater way to make saving money fun than with this super awesome Talking ATM Bank!

This large talking ATM machine works with real U.S. Money (bills and coins). Just insert the special debit card key and the bank comes to life as it talks and counts. Make a deposit, make a withdrawal, the ATM always knows your account balance.

The large LCD screen shows deposit amounts and adds them to your balance. Or, the screen shows your withdrawal amount and subtracts it from the total to give you a new balance. It talks, it counts, it always knows your account balance. Roll bills into the feeder with the twist knob. Includes special debit card key.

And a great way to work on counting, money and math is with a fun cash register! Kids can have fun for hours playing grocery store or bank as they give and take money to put into their cash register!

Cha-ching! that's the sound this deluxe cash register makes as kids play for hours and hours. Kids will have fun playing store, counting money, making change, swiping debit cards, and making announcements on the loud microphone.

PLUS, this toy teaches kids other languages including English, French and Spanish. This huge play set includes a large electronic cash register, play bills and coins, debit card, receipts, and open/closed sign.

And my personal favorite gift idea (because I am a teacher!) is the Play Teacher Set!

A realistic teacher and student role play set. Call the class to order, take attendance, write on the board, ring The bell, hand out grade cards, and much more. Kit includes an easy to clean desk blotter, USA map, bell, flag, pointer, write and wipe board, eraser, attendance list, name card, play clock, Certificate of Completion and much more. Includes everything you need to be a pretend teacher or student.

Don't they all look SO FUN??!! I told you they had some of the greatest gift idea for kids this holiday season!

With so many children doing school at home this year (including mine!), I have just the perfect thing to get for your kids to help them with responsibility, entertainment and give them something to look at during the day to give them a brain break! Froggy's Lair and their super awesome biosphere and African Dwarf Frogs are just the perfect gift for this year where many people need in-home entertainment options!

Froggy's Lair believes that in this high tech world, we all need to maintain a connection with our environment, to understand the balance/ecosystem of nature, and to actively care for non-human inhabitants!

But at the same time, they make it easy to do!!! Using science and engineering, they bring nature's connection in habitats suitable for today's lifestyle. Froggy's Lair STEM products are found in households, kid's rooms, classrooms, offices, and dorms.

We recently got our new African Dwarf Frogs and everything we needed to create a BioSphere for the frogs in the mail!

It was super easy to set up and was ready in minutes! The frogs were in their new home in no time and LOVING it!

And so were my children! They are constantly checking on them, watching them swim around and hide and they love to feed them!

And I love that owning these frogs is SO low-maintenance! Not only do you only have to feed them 2 times per week but you also don't have to continually clean the tank! The plants and sand and gravel help clean the tank and make an optimal environment for the frogs! (They suggest cleaning it about every 3 months)

So if you are looking for a fun and unique present this holiday season, I HIGHLY suggest Froggy's Lair for everyone - young and old! It is so fun to watch these little frogs swim and jump around and they are easy to care for!

You can purchase the Octagon BioSphere and African dwarf frogs for $69.95 from the Froggy's Lair website

If you are looking for a great stocking stuffer this holiday season, you have GOT to get Piggy Paint and SOPHi nail polish for the girl/wife/mother/woman in your life!

SOPHi makes great nail polish for adults (especially pregnant mamas) because it is all natural and free of all the nasties!!

Piggy Paint is great as a kid’s stock stuffer - it’s a line of adorable super safe nail polish for kids that is made from the safest ingredients and come in the most fun colors!

My daughter and I had such a fun "girl time" the other day when we decided to paint our nails together!!

I absolutely love to do things like this with my daughter and make mother/daughter memories, but I love it even more because I know that I'm only allowing safe and non-toxic nail polish to go on my little girl's nails and absorbed into her body!

We loved the new colors of nail polish we received from Piggy Paint and SOPHi and we couldn't wait to try them out on our nails!

We had fun picking out what color we wanted on our fingernails and toenails! My daughter chose 2 colors for her nails and I chose the dark blue from SOPHi for my toenails!

The nail polish went on smoothly and looked shiny and beautiful! We also put on the primer + shine + sealer from SOPHi to make sure the color stayed on longer!

It was so much fun to take a break from life and have "girl time" with my favorite little girl! We love this time together and Piggy Paint and SOPHi make it possible with safe and natural nail polish!

You can purchase SOPHi and Piggy Paint from their online stores here and here

Stock up Your Medicine Cabinet with Hyland's Homeopathic Products!

2020-04-01T11:09:00.000-05:00

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

As we face cold and flu season and the current pandemic, I always make sure to have my medicine cabinet stocked with safe, natural medicines to help my children in case they get sick.

The one brand that takes up most of my cabinet is Hyland's and it has been a staple brand in my house since I had my first child 10 years ago! I trust them because they use natural ingredients AND they work!!!

I recently received some product from them and I was SO EXCITED (because as I mentioned we are HUGE fans!).

I really love this Cold 'n Cough pack for both Day and Night that Hyland's offers! It is one product pack that we make sure we have on hand at all times!

A cold usually lasts more than 8 hours, right? So when your child is in need of relief from congestion and coughing and it's keeping them up, it’s important to have the right medicine at the right time. This is a value pack that includes both the Day & Night Cold ’n Cough Medicine, formulated just for kids. Use the nighttime formula at the end of the day to calm the body down and help your child get some rest. In the morning, he or she won’t feel groggy. The daytime formula will help them continue the healing process. One package, 24 hour support. Now in natural grape flavor!

I love there is a Night option which helps my children sleep and helps them with their cold and cough symptoms. And then during the day, there is a day time option that helps them feel better while they are active. All the products have NO dyes, NO sugar and NO alcohol - only natural homeopathic ingredients that really, really work!

And the other favorite product I have from Hyland's is their Leg Pain Relief Tablets! I can't tell you how many nights I have been woken up with a child with leg pain! If I would have known about this products years ago, just think of the extra sleep I would have had!!! 😃

So let me save you sleep and introduce you to the Hyland’s 4 Kids Leg Pain Relief tablets!

Are your kids’ legs stiff and sore from growing pains? Now you can help their aching leg and foot pain with Hyland’s 4 Kids Leg Pain Relief tablets, made with natural active ingredients and free from ibuprofen or acetaminophen. These flavorless soft tablets dissolve easily and work quickly and naturally to soothe muscle aches and soreness, stiffness, and leg cramps. Get them back on their feet and back to their happy selves with Hyland’s 4 Kids!

If you want to stock up your natural and homeopathic medicine cabinet, I highly recommend the Hyland's brand!

AirFree Purifier

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Since our first child was born, we have been HUGE on having air purifiers in every room, especially each child's room!

With all the pollutants in the air, parents do not realize the importance of having an air purifier in their baby's room. With more and more cases of infant Asthma, it is vital to make sure the air in your baby's room is clean and free of any allergens and pollution.

Airfree, the leading provider of air purifying technology and innovative solutions for indoor atmospheres, is helping keep my child's air clean with their Airfree Babyair. It is their first air purifier designed especially for your nursery or child's bedroom. Babyair uses the same silent and exclusive technology that is being used in all of their products. Babyair is designed to help improve your child's quality of sleep by purifying the air they breathe.

All my kids are loving the Airfree Babyair, recommended for rooms up to 450 sq ft, because it changes colors on the top and offers the unique stars night light projection that creates a pleasant and soothing interactive environment.

I am loving the BabyAir because it's Thermodynamic TSS Technology destroys mold, dust mites, bacteria, viruses, pollens, pet dander, tobacco and other organic allergens. Airfree also reduces indoor harmful ozone levels. It is perfect for mold contaminated areas as well as asthma and allergy sufferers.

Best of all, Airfree’s exclusive technology is completely silent and does not require any filters or maintenance! It's small, doesn't take up much room but is powerful!

Alamo Drafthouse Twin Cities

Looking for a unique movie and dinner experience rolled together? Then you have got to check out Alamo Drafthouse! I recently visited my local one here in the Twin Cities and it was such a fun experience!!

We recently saw the last Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker movie and ate dinner there. It was our first time and we were pretty impressed! I love that there are tables AND the seats still recline!!!

They even had some Star Wars themed drinks and food that we tried!

The service was great! You just write down what you want to order on a paper and stick it in a holder and then the waitstaff quietly and quickly grabs the paper and brings the food.

The popcorn bowls were my favorite thing! They were refillable and came in big stainless steel bowls just like I would eat in at home!

Warning...their food is expensive and we were disappointed that they were out of several drinks for the day already at 7:30pm. But you definitely pay for the experience and you save gas from driving from restaurant to movie theater - you get it all in one!

Check out some of the future January Alamo Drafthouse Twin Cities Signature Series programming including a ‘Dystopian Future’ series.

Perfect Gift for Entertainment Junkies - Mohu Antennas

2019-12-17T21:31:00.001-06:00

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Have a TV-lover on your holiday list? Maybe someone who is tired of the expensive cable bill? Then I have the perfect Mohu antenna for your recipient! Cord cutting is growing increasingly prevalent and cost-effective for American households. In fact, 1 in 8 U.S. households who cut the cord save an average of $103.10 per month.

Mohu offers an extensive line of antennas that provide consumers free access to dozens of channels (including ABC) - virtually eliminating the need for cable (on top of all of your costly live TV subscriptions…)

Beyond their range of leading HDTV antennas, Mohu acknowledges that cord cutting is only as good as the self-help you can get, which is why they created the first FREE online cord cutting application that shows users how to cut the cord via Untangle.TV. Untangle analyzes cord cutters’ viewing behaviors to recommend a custom mix of over-the-air (OTA) and over-the-top (OTT) devices and services needed to watch the TV they prefer, at a cost they control.

The Striker antenna from Mohu is the perfect gift to share with your favorite entertainment junkies this holiday, sans the painful cable subscription costs. Additionally, Untangle.TV will allow them to determine the best devices and streaming services to suit your entertainment needs.

One of Mohu’s newest innovations in outdoor antennas, Striker HDTV antenna was designed to be placed anywhere. Striker is able to pick up popular over-the-air channels and shows, including ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, The CW, Univision, and more -- all for absolutely FREE. And because over-the-air broadcasts are uncompressed, Striker is capable of delivering the clearest high-definition picture possible, noticeably better than cable and satellite providers.

Striker’s unique design makes almost any location ideal for this HDTV antenna. Place Striker anywhere in or outside your home: crawl space, roof, outdoor siding, interior spaces, as an attic antenna, hide it in a tree or plant -- you can even take Striker on the go!

With FirstStage amplification technology, the amplifier is located right next to the TV antenna, setting the noise floor of the digital system and mitigating the loss created by the cable, giving you less pixelation and increased reception capability for a crystal clear picture. Striker is designed for powerful outdoor TV antenna performance, reaching an impressive 75 mile range to pick up your favorite over-the-air content.

Buy It:

You can purchase the Striker antenna for $99.99 from the Mohu website.

5 Cozy Care Package Ideas to Give to Your Best Friend This Winter

2019-12-09T16:12:00.003-06:00

This is a sponsored post.

These Gift Ideas are Perfect for the Winter Season.

Everyone could use a care package pick-me-up during the cold winter months. Photo courtesy of Pexels.com.

It is that time of year again, the weather starts getting colder, it starts getting darker much earlier, and the clocks go back an hour. The wintertime can be exciting because it brings on the holiday season and spending time with family and friends, but on the other hand, it also brings frigid weather and keeps everyone cooped up indoors. A lot of people even suffer from seasonal depression during this time of year.

If you notice a friend is feeling down, or maybe you just want to surprise them, a care package is the way to do so. Create a basket full of self-care essentials for the winter season. Since there is probably not much to do outside depending on where you live, put together a cozy package that will help your friend bundle up and enjoy their time indoors. If you need some inspiration on what to include, below are some cozy winter care package ideas for your best friend. You never know, your care package might just be the thing that brightens your friend’s mood.

There is no better best friend care package than one that helps you relax. Photo courtesy of Pexels.com.

1. Bathe and Relax Kit

One of the coziest that comes to mind when thinking about relaxing activities, is taking a hot bath. You could put together a bundle of bath time essentials to help your best friend relax. You will want to include something to put in your bath. There are so many different things including bath bombs, bath salts, bath melts, and more. Pick something with a scent your friend will love! You can even include this Essential Oil Crystal Roll-On that soothes stress and anxiety and promotes restful sleep and dreams. Next, you can really include anything you want. Add some candles your friend can light to create a sweet-smelling ambiance. Consider including a fuzzy bathrobe and some slippers so your friend will be comfortable after they get out of the bath. You may also want to include something relaxing they can do in the bath, like read a book.

2. Movie Night Bundle

This care package is truly something you can send to pretty much anyone, at any time of year, and it will always be a hit. The crucial piece to this care package is what you are giving your friend to watch. So pick something you know they will love.

Some ideas for movie bundles are 80’s romance, classic horror, or any famous series. For 80’s romance include Pretty in Pink, Say Anything, Can’t Buy Me Love and similar movies. A classic horror bundle can include movies like The Shining, Children of the Corn, Halloween and The Blair Witch Project. For any famous series include all the movies in the series. Consider the Twilight Saga, the Harry Potter Movies, or the Fast & Furious series. If your friend is more of a TV person include their favorite series.

After you figure out what movies/TV shows you want to send, it is time to add snacks! Throw in popcorn and some boxed candy and your good to go! Stay away from including soda if you are sending this in the mail as it will likely explode and ruin the rest of the package.

A pamper session is a great care package idea and might be just what your best friend needs. Photo courtesy of Pexels.com.

3. Pamper Yourself Gift Basket

A great theme to promote in any best friend care package is self-care. You want your best friend to love themselves as much as you love them. Making them a basket full of ways that they can treat themselves is the perfect way to show you care. In this gift basket, you will want to include anything your friend can use to pamper themselves. Skincare is a great place to start. Add some face masks, eye serums, moisturizers, and lip balm to create a package that covers all the bases. If you want to skip the hassle, consider this Fresh and Fierce Gift Can which has body wash, face mist, face scrub, a gloss pot, and a shower pouf. You can also include things like fuzzy socks, throw blankets, candles, or whatever else you think your friend will love.

4. Baked Goods

There is rarely a time where baked goods are not a great idea, especially when it comes to care packages. Your best friend is stuck in the house all winter, so give them some fresh baked goodies to much on while they are cozied up on the couch. You can bake your special recipe and hand-deliver them if they are close by or head to your local bakery and pick out a few things. The best option for sending baked goods through the mail is to pick something already prepackaged, like this Mrs. Fields Cookie Crate Combo. This way, you know everything is going to arrive fresh and in good condition.

Including some stress-relieving activities in your best friend’s care package is a way to push them to take time for the things they enjoy. Photo courtesy of Pexels.com.

5. Stress Relieving Activities

Continuing with the theme of relaxation and self-care, a great option for a best friend care package is some stress-relieving activities. You can really customize this for your specific friend’s interests. Perhaps you want to include their favorite book, a mug, and their favorite tea. Or, you might want to include some watercolor pencils and an adult coloring book. Maybe your friend loves to paint and you get them some paintbrushes and some paint-by-numbers. You can even include a massage or spa day gift certificate. The options are truly endless!

It’s never a bad time to let your BFF know you care, but winter opens the door to all sorts of cozy care package options for your best friend. What’s your favorite way to treat your bestie? Let us know in the comments!
