GourmetGiftBaskets.com Easter Review

If you are looking for something different for your Easter celebration, you should consider an Easter Bunny Basket 12 inch Cookie Cake from GourmetGiftBaskets.com I know a lot of people like to eat pie, but really how much pie can you eat? You have pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Let’s make Easter different. I am not really big on most pies, I really only like a few of them. I love cookies and frosting so this is a perfect Easter treat for my family. It’s also only $34.99. Noah doesn’t really like pie either except for pecan pie and peanut butter pie. He would eat cookies every day of the week though.  The Easter Bunny Basket 12 inch Cookie Cake is not only adorable but it is very tasty. There are many chocolate chips in it. The frosting is delish! Noah loved it too. We enjoyed sitting together and eating it. I had to tell him not to get in to it in the middle of the night, just in case. I didn’t want him getting any ideas for a midnight feast! GourmetGiftBaskets.com has many wonderful items that would make great gifts or just a little something special for yourself. Gift baskets aren’t just for gifts, they are fun for anyone. They have tons of cute Easter items that would brighten anyone’s day! Grandparents have started sending Easter Baskets and treats to their grandchildren. I wish my grandparents did that. I know my grandpa Bill was always good for jellybeans and M&M’s though.

I also received the Hippity-Hoppity Easter Stack ($29.99) to enjoy. It was also adorable. Here’s what was inside: 

Jelly Beans by Buttercup Candy Shoppe - 3.5 oz. - Plump, gourmet jelly beans that explode with refreshing fruit flavors.
 

Peeps by Just Born - Assorted - A classic springtime treat of smooth, gooey marshmallows that are molded into festive shapes and coated with a bright, sweet confection.
   

Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper Popcorn by KingOfPOP.com - 1.4 oz. - Crisp and crunchy handcrafted popcorn that's speckled with freshly cracked pepper and gourmet sea salt.
 

Confetti Popcorn by KingOfPOP.com - 3.11 oz. - Handcrafted gourmet popcorn that's drenched in thin candy shells.
 

Double Crisp Chocolate Bunny - 4.25 oz. - A solid milk chocolate bunny that's flecked with pieces of rice crisp.
 

Original Skittles by Wrigley - 2.17 oz. - Bite-sized chewy candies that burst with irresistibly sweet fruit flavors.

Noah has this weird thing about Peeps He likes to eat them, but he thinks they are so cute, he refuses to eat them. He won’t let others eat them either. He is a silly goose. I really liked the Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper Popcorn. It was salty and peppery yet sweet at the same time. Who doesn’t love jelly beans and Skittles. It’s not Easter without a chocolate bunny!

Gift Baskets for the Car

The holidays are fast approaching and we have started shopping for gifts. When you have a guy who loves his car almost as he loves you, you want to embrace that by getting him gifts for his baby. It is kind of like buying baby gifts for an expectant mother. When my sister was pregnant, I gave her a gift to buy something for her baby for Christmas. It's not exactly the same thing of course. Creating a car gift basket is really easy with a little know how and creativity. You will even score brownie points with the guy in your life. It will show him that you really put some thought in the gift and you are fine with how much he loves his car. I have dated a guy who loved his car to the point that he worked on it any chance he got. He was even a mechanic. My grandpa was a diesel mechanic and he spent a lot of time in his garage at home teaching my cousins how to work on cars. He also taught my uncles how to fix cars. My mom and aunt learned how to change tires and change oil. Don't get him another tie or a new sweater, make him a gift basket for his car. I am sure he will love it.

Check out my post about creating the perfect car gift basket for some inspiration.

TOOBS Review and Giveaway

When Noah was three, I started buying him Toobs. We call them Tube Toys. They come in all kinds of animals. They are really cool. He has quite a few of them.  I blogged about them in the past because I use them to decorate his birthday cakes because I am not a cake decorator in the slightest.  He also loves to play with them and collect them. He has taken them to the pool with them since most of the ones he has are sea life or fish. It is one of the things he cherishes.  In Kindergarten, he wanted to take them for show and tell, since they were educational.  So, I approved it through his teacher because they had issues with toys before. He brought them and another child stole them and passed them out to all the other kids. Noah was heartbroken. The only reason I knew about it was because the little boy he rode home with was arguing with Noah about a turtle.  We got it all straightened out and the teacher had to call every parent to get them back.  The other child lied about stealing them and said they were his.  I ended up buying him a couple new Toobs because we weren’t sure that we had them all. Some kids have special blankets or stuffed animals, Noah has his Toobs.  He looks forward to receiving them on Birthdays and even from Santa. 

I had the opportunity to world with Safari Ltd. They make Toobs and a bunch of other really cool toys. As I was browsing their catalog, I noticed he has some of their other toys too, like a realistic looking hermit crab. Santa got that at the Fort Desoto gift shop I believe.  I really like Safari Ltd because their toys look realistic.  Noah is really in to nonfiction and he knows that fish do not smile so if there is a smile on something he says something. He can really be silly. This time we received the Baby Sea Life Toobs and the Sharks Toobs. The Baby Sea Life are so cute. I am partial to little baby things.  Noah likes them too. He has matched them up with some of the grown up creatures he has.  My son can name all the different types of sharks too.  It’s really funny because he is constantly impressing adults with his knowledge of fish and sea life.  We went to a neighbor’ house to check out his new 100 gallon tank and Noah was talking fish and identifying all of them and taking about all the different types of coral. He wasn’t saying I like the pink coral, he would use the name of the type.  Toobs are a huge part of our lives. It is really cool to be able to share with Noah really cool toys that are also educational. 

Toobs are a great gift because kids love them. Boys and Girls alike.  They are great for a child who loves animals or sea life or pretty much anything. They have so many different types I am sure you could find something that interests the child in your life. They come in a tube so they could be a great stocking stuffer or wrap up a couple together and start collecting all the different Toobs. Be sure to check out Safari Ltd.’s other toys too.
