Spaghetti Headz Make Great Stocking Stuffers! #Spon #HolidayGiftGuide

**Complimentary products received in exchange for out honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We recently had the chance to review Spaghetti Headz:


This brand new hair styling fashion accessory features a variety of collectible charm packages, including feathers, which is a hot fashion trend right now, holiday charms for either Hanukkah or Christmas, kittens for cat lovers as well as dress-up and ‘OMG’ themes.   We were sent the Birthday package which included cake, present and balloon charms.


It’s simple to use. You just twist around the hair and slide out when you’re done and works with all hair types – long, straight, curly, thin, thick and short. For girls with short hair, the twists can easily be cut to size.  We put all three in A's hair within a few minutes.


A really loved the way they looked.  She said she loved the colors and the charms.  She also said they felt a bit heavy so she wouldn't wear them all day.  In her opinion, they would work better as a special accessory to be worn for a few hours.  We had to be careful when we removed them...since they are made from polymer clay, they like to hold on to hair (which is great for while they are in place).  A has a super sensitive scalp, so it did hurt a little bit, but she said it wasn't so bad and she would definitely wear them again:)

Spahetti Headz would be a great gift or stocking stuffer for the tween fashionista on your list!

Buy It:
Spaghetti Headz™ can currently be purchased at www.morphmallow.com and will be in many retail stores before the holidays.  SRP: $13.99 per pack (3 twists included in each pack)

Limited Edition Winter Collection from Glade! #Spon #HolidayGiftGuide

**Complimentary products received in exchange for out honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We recently had the chance to review some of Glade's winter scents:


Glade has 3 Limited Edition Winter Collection scents that come in candles and wax melts.  The wax melts pair perfectly with the Glade Wax Melt Warmer.


The Limited Edition Winter Collection includes Sparkling Spruce, Frosted Cookie Party, and Apple Cinnamon Cheer.

Our personal favorite was Apple Cinnamon Cheer.  It smells like hot apple cider and is a warm, comforting scent.  The Sparkling Spruce smells like pine and evergreen and is especially helpful to get you in the Christmas spirit if you have an artificial tree:)   Frosted Cookie Party makes the house smell like I've been baking yummy vanilla sugar cookies all day.

These candles and wax melts would be great to keep on hand for when those holiday guests arrive and would also make great stocking stuffers!

Mission Belt Co.: The No Hole Belt Makes a Great Gift! #Spon #HolidayGiftGuide

**Complimentary products received in exchange for out honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We recently had the chance to review the Iron Belt from Mission Belt Co:

Mission Belt Co specializes in no-hole belts that adjust every 1/4 inch and feature a Crack-Free Guarantee.  The buckles are interchangeable and the belts are made of real leather.  Plus, every purchase from Mission Belt Co helps in the fight against global poverty and hunger.


B loves his Mission Belt!  He was a little skeptical at first, but once he put it on he became a believer:)  He wears a belt everyday and we have to replace it a couple of times a year because the holes tend to stretch and the leather cracks.  He won't have either of those problems with this new Mission Belt!

Mission Belt Co has lots of "giftable" belts and buckles for everyone on your gift list!
