Festive Friday: Your Santa Story

     Okay, I know it's a little early for this. But I wanted to go ahead and share, because a gift like this takes time to produce and only limited quantities will be available. So if you're interested, you'd better check it out soon!
     Your Santa Story is a personalized, family specific DVD that features an authentic Santa Claus(real white beard, full red costume, and a twinkle in his eye) that talks to each child in the family by name and tell whatever family story Mom or Dad want to tell. He'll talk about how the child/children are doing in school, with sports, piano lessons or anything else the parents want him to say. He can talk about how they are treating their brother or sister or how much their grandparents love them.
     How fun is that? These DVD's are $29.95, but it would make a neat and memorable gift for your little ones. Be sure to check out the newly launched website for more info. Also, on their facebook page, they'll be giving out a DVD a week until Christmas, or while supplies last. You can check them out on twitter too!

*I received no compensation on any kind for this post. I got this info via Mom Select and just wanted to spread the word!*

Are You an Influenster?


     Have you ever heard of Influenster? Well, it's a lot of fun because you get to try out boxes of fun new stuff that you might not otherwise think to.
     The idea is you get a product, try it out for a while, then spread the word and give feedback on your experience with it.
     Usually there is a variety of, say, about five different products. Sometimes it is just a generous supply of one product. My latest box contained 3 full-sized bottles of dish deteregent, plus soem coupons to share. Check back later for a post on those. ;-) But previous boxes have contained chocolate, razors, teas and sunblock among other things.
     These are not always things I would have thought to get for myself, but it is a fun way to be introduced to new products. 
     You get selected to receive boxes based on which areas you're most influential in. Then you share about your experience through reviews, social media and your blog.
     Sound like something you'd like to do? Well, you should go check them out. Also follow on facebook and twitter for the lastest updates!
