ClarityIn my opinion, buying great gifts for my parents and grandparents can be quite difficult.  Why?  Because I've been giving them gifts for most of my life and it seems that I've already bought them everything I think they could want (or I could afford).  Also, because they're older, they've received innumerable gifts from others too over the years, so they truly have everything.

Of course, I could always try and make their lives easier by giving them the latest technology, but older people and technology don't usually go together.  Or do they?  Clarity is a company that specializes in making great products especially for seniors and now they've really outdone themselves by designing a cell phone for seniors, called the Clarity Pal.

I reviewed the Clarity Pal, which retails for $99.99, but is currently on sale for $91.99 with FREE SHIPPING.

Jack FranklinI'm a lucky girl in the fact that I get to see my husband dressed up almost every day of the week!  He has a suit and tie job, so I'm treated to a GQ stud coming through the door each evening.  :blush:

The one thing I love about his suit and tie attire is picking out different ties for him.  It's amazing how his whole look can be transformed just by choosing another tie from his closet.

Jack Franklin ties were born after years of paying too much for high-quality ties.  As good as a nice silk tie that holds a nice thick knot is, no necktie is worth 100 to 200 dollars.  What's worse, most ties under $50 seem to skimp on the small details that turn a piece of neckwear into something you can be proud to wear.

I reviewed the following ties from Jack Frankin:

Zig Zag, which retails for $125.00, but is currently on sale for $34.00

Pacific, which retails for $95.00, but is currently on sale for $34.00

Caribbean, which retails for $115.00, but is currently on sale for $34.00
Receive 50% OFF your entire order at Jack Franklin with coupon code "Blg50gvwy" ~ Hurry, this expires 12/31/12.

NERFWhen I was a kid, it was my dream each Christmas Eve to finally catch Santa Claus in the act!  I was a believer at the time, but I had already begun to hear the whisperings from older children (and adults who didn't think I was listening) that Santa was a myth.

Personally, I couldn't believe those rumors to be true and would always do my best to finally meet the Big Guy face-to-face in my very own home.  If you have a child that yearns to catch Santa in the act, be sure that this toy is safely under lock and key or YOU may be the ones caught...on tape!

The NERF Nightvision Camcorder retails for $89.99, but is currently on sale for $74.99 with FREE SHIPPING.

PicturesOnGold.com Being a first time mommy, I love anything and everything that reminds me of my daughter, Riley, and the wonderful change that has happened in my life since becoming a mom.  I've long been a fan of photo jewelry and would love to have one commemorating my journey into motherhood, but unfortunately, I have never taken the time to actually put any pictures inside one.  Isn't that terrible?!

Thankfully, PicturesOnGold.com has a myriad of photo pendants available and ready for customization.  They even take care to inscribe your most precious photo on your jewelry selection using color laser engraving!  I had the chance to customize one of their photo lockets and if you're the lucky winner of this giveaway, you will too.

I reviewed the Sterling Silver Heart with Border Photo Pendant, along with an 18-inch Sterling Silver Box Chain from PicturesOnGold.com, which retails for $100.97.

Mr. Coffee Cafe LatteDuring winter, there's nothing better than a steaming hot cup of coffee, cafe latte or hot chocolate.  The creamy goodness of these beverages definitely soothes the soul as well as any frazzled holiday nerves.

Unfortunately, most coffee makers are designed to make just that...coffee.  And if you'd like anything else, such as a cafe latte, you're going to pay through the nose at a neighborhood coffee shop.  Thankfully, Mr. Coffee has found a way to save you up to $500 per year on specialty drinks with their brand new Cafe Latte machine.

I reviewed the Mr. Coffee Cafe Latte, which retails for $99.99.

SoundfreaqOne of the great things about the holiday season is all the fabulous music!  Whether you like the golden oldie Christmas carols from folks like Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole or prefer the newer selections from Justin Bieber and Michael Buble, one thing's for sure...the music just HAS to sound GREAT!  :whistle:

Now I have a large entertainment center in my home which sounds phenomenal, but it isn't compatible with my iPod, mp3 player, iPhone or any other portable electronic device.  So how can I play those rockin' seasonal songs while at home or on the go?  Just sync your music catalog to the Soundfreaq Sound Kick Bluetooth Speaker and get your holiday freak on!  :big grin:
