I am a member of the Everywhere Society and Everywhere has provided me compensation for this post. However all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Do you have someone on your list this year that you just can’t decide what to get for them?  You know you want to give them something a little special but haven’t been able to hit the proverbial nail on the head when it comes to choosing.  How about giving them the gift of personal branding?

Get a Me Website - Domain.Me the personal domain name

If you look at Instagram and Twitter it’s easy to see that it’s not just brands companies or blogs that are getting social or putting their name on things.  Everyday folks (and more pets than I can count) want the chance to be heard or share what’s on their mind.  And now with a domain .ME website it’s easier than ever to carve out an online presence.

Bubbles is very “girly girl”.  She loves sparkles and glitter, lip gloss and hair ties, skirts and ruffles and dolls and everything else you can think of.  But on the flip side of that coin she loves planes, trains and cars, bugs, and playing ball.

A bit before Halloween I ran across Monster 500 toys and showed them to Bubbles.  She got a huge kick out of the pictures and so when I was offered a few Monster 500 products to check out I knew she’d be excited.  Hubby was impressed as we unpacked the box, too, which is always a good sign.

Monster 500 Flattop Frank Large Vehicle

There are 10 different Monster 500 characters available in the 3-inch diecast vehicles.  Each comes with a trading card that has a code that unlocks a monster car in the Monster 500 Racing App.  Larger vehicles (4″ high and 5″ long) are also available in four monster choices: Zoom Zombie, CrocPot, Lead Foot, and Flattop Frank.

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

Kind of like the Big Guy himself, I’ve been making my list and checking it twice over the last few days.  Many things have been checked off, but I do still have a few tech gifts left to buy.  In fact over dinner tonight we all talked a little tech as Austin narrowed down his wishlist a little.

Tech Gifts for the Holidays at Best Buy #HintingSeason

A new gaming system is high on his list as the one he’s had for the last few years finally died.  Right now we’re looking at the Xbox One at Best Buy. The Xbox One was built by gamers, for gamers, and if you’re wanting to play Halo it’s where you have to be as it’s an Xbox exclusive.  You can also play games like Just Dace 15, Call of Duty (one of Austin’s faves), NBA 2K15 (another fave franchise), and more.

I received a Kohl’s gift card in order to check out Disney Frozen toys and gifts. All words and opinions are my own.

It’s no secret that Frozen is a huge hit in our house.  In fact, it’s a huge hit in almost every house.  More than a year after the theatrical release of Disney Frozen it’s still a phenomena that shows no signs of slowing.

Shop Disney Frozen Toys at Kohl's

As it’s a much-loved movie the names Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven are more than likely on the wish list of at least one kiddo in your life.  When you set out to check those items off your list, make your first stop Kohl’s or kohls.com.  They have all the Disney Frozen toys, clothes, books and other gear and gifts that you could possibly want.

When I was younger a meet & greet with Santa was always an exciting day.  Outside of that, though, there wasn’t much chance to have interaction with the Big Guy.  As I got a little older, letters from him started showing up in the mail during the month of December which definitely helped build the anticipation.

Create a personalized Santa Claus video with Portable North Pole

For kids today, though, there are even more magical options.  Recently I was introduced to Portable North Pole and their awe-inspiring personalized Santa videos.  So when they offered to provide me a pass to the site and partner on a post so I could share my experience with you, I was excited to see exactly how the process worked.
