Borders – Review + Giveaway
November 24, 2009 by admin
Filed under $50-$100, Games, Household, King, Lil' Royality, Prince, Princess, Queen, Specialty Gifts, Stocking Stuffers

I was contacted by Borders the beginning of November and was asked to do a review and a giveaway for them.
To be quite honest, I never heard of them before, what they offered or anything.
So after I checked out their online shop, I decided SURE! Their products looked wonderful and I know that they are something my children would enjoy. Not just them though, everyone! Borders offers books, toys, games, and gifts.
This wasn’t like every review I’ve done because I actually had to go IN STORE and do the review. Of course I was thinking, GREAT! Arkansas never has these cool stores so I will have to miss this opportunity.
When Borders publicist told me there was one in Rogers, AR I was very excited. Rogers is about a 19 mile drive from my house and the drive was totally worth it.
So Sunday we packed the kids up in the car and headed to Penical Hills in Rogers to go to Borders.
Yes, I did take all 4 of my kids, my husband and my mom. I didn’t want to do only a review from my stand point but I also wanted to hear what others had to say too.
When I got there, I had to go to the cashier to claim my Gift Certificate and tell her who I was, she then called the manager and I had to explain to him why I was there and what I was doing ![]()
So far so good! Everyone was very nice and just a great atmosphere in general. The store was very clean and well organized, and BIG. I couldn’t get over how big the store was and I knew I would be there for awhile.
The first thing we looked at was of course their Twilight saga. My daughter is a huge fan so I knew this would be where the majority of the gift card would be spent on. They had a huge selection of the Twilight Saga, not only the books, but they also had shirts, games, journals, ect. My daughter was in Heaven!
I did walk everywhere in their store, and I looked at everything. I wanted to be sure I took everything in.
Borders – the bookseller recently expanded its toys & games area in more than 500 stores. This holiday, Borders makes finding the perfect toy or game easier for those looking for high-quality educational gifts – like our readers. Shelves are stocked with items from leading brands like Creativity for Kids, Thinkfun, Scientific Explorer, ALEX and Blue Orange Games. These brands are known for products that foster creativity and help to build cognitive skills in children.
Borders has a spot just for kids including books, and toys as well as a little play area. Borders is very kid friendly and this is most important to me. I don’t like going to stores who doesn’t like kids and think they are just a bother.
My kids had alot of fun playing and reading and looking at the the toys. Borders offers great products on their toys such as ALEX, Mellisa & Doug, Learning Resources, Spin Master & Sprig and that’s just naming a few.
Borders offers many toys and a huge selection of great learning toys for children.
The prices are absolutely wonderful and I was able to get some toys for my children to help expand their learning.
Their selection of toys and learning products for children really went above and beyond my expectations.
All the way through the store there were the workers making sure we were finding everything we were looking for. They were all great & most friendly. They put up with my children, so you know they’re a great place!
I was very impressed to say the least, not only is the store remarkable, but the customer service was great & I couldn’t have asked for a better shopping experience.
Oh, and they even has some delicious candy! You know the kind of chocolate that just melts in your mouth good!
So I did get a couple of Ghirardelli Chocolates. WOW is all I can say about that
Borders came out above and beyond with their products & customer service and I was 100% satisfied with my purchases, I was able to get quite a bit with the $100 I received for review.
The best part about Borders is you can find something for everyone on your shopping list, in one place. From adults to children. Everyone will be thrilled with their purchase and the receivers of the gifts will enjoy your gift for years to come.
Borders is offering 2 Barefoot Mommies readers a chance to win a $100 gift certificate so YOU can see their wonderful products and new expanded Children’s line.
The gift cards will be mailed directly to the winners and in time for Christmas gift giving.
**Make sure you have a Borders close to you to drive to if you enter this contest*
:: Win It ::
Go to Borders and comment back with the toy or game you remembered playing with as a child and why it’s still a good choice for kids today.

November 20, 2009 by admin
Filed under $50-$100, Home Decor, Household, King, Lil' Royality, Pets, Prince, Princess, Queen, Specialty Gifts

Custom Creations Unlimited, Inc. is a family owned business located in western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, Wheaton to be exact. It all started when our son was born in 1997, we wanted to send out a personalized birth announcement as unique and beautiful as our new baby boy. We found our options were either too expensive, too slow or too ‘cookie cutter’. We ended up creating and printing our own. Two months later, we set out to provide the product and the service we couldn’t find.
Since that day, we’ve grown beyond our wildest dreams. We still print many personalized invitations and announcements but our personalized gifts have just taken off. Our Photo Blankets and Photo Towels have been the gift of choice for so many customers, especially during the winter holidays.
I was sent two blankets to review so I can see what they look like and the details up close and personal. They weren’t with any of my pictures because it takes a little while for custom orders and we needed to get this promotion out to you all before Christmas!
One of Custom Creations is the Fleece blanket;

Now this is beautiful and just so life-like. The picture is clear as you can see and just wonderful quality all around.
Our Fleece Photo Blanket is made from polar tec fleece and is noticeably thicker than the typical fleece photo blanket you’ll find. However, it is not a thick snuggly blanket like our Knitted and Woven Photo Blankets are. Its strength is in the fabulous detail of the image. The detail in our Fleece Photo Blanket simply does not compare to any woven or knitted blanket (including ours)! Looking for a thicker fleece blanket, see our Sweatshirt Fleece Photo Blanket or Double Layer Fleece Photo Blanket.
The details of this blanket is just unreal and it’s sure to please. Very durable indeed!
The Fleece blankets are made in the USA.
Why our Fleece Photo Blankets?
- EXCLUSIVE – Free Proof prior to production
- Free Personalization
- Collage blankets at no extra charge
- Tight quality control at every step of production
- Printed in the U.S.A.
Custom Creations takes great pride in the outcome of your blanket, when you order one they work with you and make sure you’re happy. Once you receive it, you will be amazed at just how beautiful it really is.
The next option is Custom Creations Woven Photo Blankets;

Now the finished outcome on this blanket is my absolute favorite because I just love how it looks, and feels.
This blanket with your photo is just breathtaking beautiful!
Your Cotton Color Photo Blanket is woven from four miles and over three pounds of 100% natural Cotton. The weaving process results in the fringe on the sides and nothing is softer than natural Cotton. Because your photo is woven into the blanket, not screen printed or ironed on, it will never peel or flake off.
Why our Woven Photo Blankets?
Our craftsman (and craftswomen) match the colors in your photograph to our extensive selection of pre-dyed Cotton to create a unique, one-of-a-kind work of art. Along with our smaller yarn size, this allows our Photo Blankets to be more vibrant and detailed than our competitors. What else?
- EXCLUSIVE – Free Proof prior to production
- Free Personalization
- 100% Cotton yarn, not a poly blend
- Smaller yarn size, resulting in greater detail
- Tight quality control at every step of production
- 100% American Made
You know what I really want to do? I want to watch someone make a blanket like this, I think it would really bring meaning into how something like this is made and the perfect touch.
Custom Creations obviously takes great pride in their work and really want to give you, or someone you love a beautiful memory that will last an absolute life-time. You can hand it down and keep this beautiful blanket in the family for many years to come.
At Custom Creations Unlimited, you will find many personalized photo gifts. But why us?
- Personalized – every item we offer is custom made just for you. Each image is hand reviewed to be sure it will turn out beautiful. Many items include a free proof prior to production. This includes all of our Photo Blankets and Photo Beach Towels. And everyone knows personalized gifts create the biggest smiles! We make it easy, you take the credit.

My personalized blanket is being made and I just can’t wait until I see it. Of course it’s of all 4 of my children and from looking at the quality of the blankets up close and personal I just know that they are going to be simply breath taking!

The Card Crate – Review + Giveaway!
November 17, 2009 by admin
Filed under $0-$25, Household, King, Lil' Royality, Pets, Prince, Princess, Queen, Specialty Gifts

This is the first I’ve found, The Card Crate is a place where you can get personalized stationery for all of your needs. Be it, Holiday Cards, Birth Announcements, Invitations, Save The Date, Thank You Cards, Graduation, Moving Announcements, and Custom Designs.
There is a card that will fit your needs AND have it personalized!
The Card Crate is super fast! You can send in your picture, pick out your design and send it to the owner our very own Sara, she will have it back to you LEES than 24 hours and your satisfaction is their #1 priority!
I was able to review the process, which was EASY and didn’t hurt at all ![]()
Then within’ 24 hours I was able to get my card in JPG format and now I am able to print from my computer or upload it to a photo site in which they can print it off for me and all I have to do is pick them up.
All custom photo cards are only $10.
YOU can print however many you want to.
Here is what she did for me.

Now see, I love this because my children are in it (of course) but Sara had mentioned that it may be a little too busy and after seeing the card she did AFTER this one I knew she knew what she was talking about, where as I didn’t and was just amazed
This is my first photocard we’ve done so I really didn’t know what to expect. But Sara is the professional here so I trusted her judgement.
Here is the second one she did that I didn’t have a part of besides the picture lol.

I now agree 100% with Sara! I loved the newest card ALOT better! But that doesn’t mean I am going to trash the other either lol.
Here is a little about Sara, the creator of The Card Crate.

After spending a small fortune on birth announcements and not wanting to do the same for my baby’s first Christmas card, I decided to create and print my own cards. I soon found out that many people felt the same way! Now for a small fee you can have beautiful custom photo cards and then print or email them at a price that suits you!
the card crate has taken me from a Stay At Home Mom to a Work At Home Mom. Thank you for making this possible.
Our goal at the card crate is to provide you with the PERFECT photo card at a low cost. PLEASE let me know what can be done to assure your satisfaction.
Your custom photo card will look its best if you send a .jpg file with a resolution of 300dpi or higher. (We will let you know if the file is too small if you have no clue what this means!) We will not take responsibility for the print quality of low resolution photos.
You can send your photo in color or black & white. If you would like your photo changed to black & white or sepia tone, no problem (and no charge). Just include your wishes in your initial email. Your photo will be cropped to fit the specified area on the photo card. Again, if you have any requests about cropping, just let us know in the email.
Also, we will not use your photo in any way, other than the intended purpose of creating your card, without your written permission.
I started my company because I wanted to give people an affordable way to
send family and friends custom photo cards like birth announcements,
holiday cards, invitations, etc.
All of our predesigned cards are $10 and are fully customizable. What is
unique about our service (besides the cost) is that the customer prints
the cards themselves where ever they wish and in any quantity.
How it works:
1) Customer chooses a predesigned card and fills out order form
(EVERYTHING is
customizable ~ fonts, text, # of pics, colors, etc) and upload their
picture(s) to
the form.
2) Within 24 hours we email them their completed card in a .jpg file. If
they love it,
they can print it anywhere, if they want changes they are made at no extra
charge.
Currently we have Holiday Cards, Birth Announcements, Invitations for
birthdays, parties, baby showers, and wedding showers, Save the Dates,
Moving Announcements, Graduation Announcements, and Thank You Notes. (All
of the cards can be used for whatever purpose the customer wishes.)
We also offer custom designs for $25, so if there is something that the
customer wants that they don’t see, we can create it!
I love how affordable her prices are, I love the outcome and the time she takes to make our card exactly how WE want it. I love that The Card Crate also offers custom designs at a very affordable price!
I totally wish I would have known about The Card Crate after I had my last daughter, it would have saved me alot of money.
The Card Crate would like to offer one Barefoot Mommies reader a chance to win a pre-designed card of their own.
The Card Crate is also offering 10% off to our readers with code “Barefoot” until Dec 4th.
:: Win It ::
Go to The Card Crate and tell us what your favorite design is. (Doesn’t have to be Christmas).

Waterpik – Review + Giveaways!

Since 1962, Water Pik has been a leader in developing and manufacturing innovative personal and oral health care products. Our products are available through mass-merchandisers, home centers, drug chains, clubs, specialty retailers, wholesalers, and contractors.
Our Mission: To be the first choice of our global customers for innovative, stylish, high-value products that enhance health and wellness and support sustainability.

Over the years, we’ve acquired more than 500 patents, and our products have been recognized for award-winning design and technology.
Of course we all know what Waterpik is, right? Well I of course thought it was something for your teeth. And it is, but not only does Waterpik have a great tool for your teeth they also have shower heads.
I have a huge love of a nice relaxing shower, I’m not much into baths, but I do love the nice hot showers. It’s always kind of tricky if you don’t have the right kind of shower head to give you that ‘AHH’ feeling. To be honest, I never really had one…I thought I had a nice shower head but that was before I was able to review one of Waterpik’s shower heads. Oh My Goodness! I was in heaven to say the least.
I received the EasySelect 5 Mode hand-held.
LAT-569 / Brushed Nickel
Designed for those with discriminating taste who want to experience the ultimate in shower style and performance. All EasySelect™ products feature an in-handle spray mode selector, which makes selecting sprays easier than ever. Designed with OptiFLOW® technology that increases water force up to 30% by optimizing water flow, so you feel refreshed and invigorated.
- 5 ” Round Shower Head
- Advanced OptiFLOW Technology
- Easy Clean Nozzles
- Removable Flow Regulator
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
- High/Low Concentrated Center Spray
- Circular Massage
- Power Spray / Pulsating Massage
- Misting
- Water Saver
This shower head feels so good on your skin, it’s so refreshing and soothing you’ll never want to get out of the shower.
This shower head retails for $59.99 and can be found at Waterpik website or you can purchase it at Home Depot.
This is worth the money, let me tell you!
My husband isn’t into those fancy smancy shower heads, he says they are a waste of money and you can get the same affects using just a regular shower head. “You come out clean either way, so why spend more money!”
Of course when we tried the Waterpik EasySelect 5 Mode hand-held his thoughts on it seriously changed!
When he first came out of the shower he said, “OK…by far the best shower ever!”
haha…Yeah, Krissy is always right!
The EasySelect 5 Mode hand-held was easy to install, you just twist it on and you don’t need any special parts. Takes less than 2 minutes to install and a lifetime of enjoyment!
All of Waterpik’s shower heads look wonderful, and they all range in price. $59.99 is the most you will pay, but they have many others you really need to check out. If they feel anything like EasySelect 5 Mode hand-held it is an excellent deal!
And of course Waterpik also has the little gadgets for your teeth! I didn’t review this, so I will grab all the information off of the website for you to read about.
Wow…that was really interesting!
I hate flossing, I mean REALLY hate it and I try to find the easiest ways for me to do it. Course I think I am just lazy heh. But seriously, this looks awesome!
The Waterpik Ultra has state-of-the-art dental water jet technology and provides the ultimate in performance. It comes with six tips, including the new orthodontic and toothbrush tips.
If you have braces, the Waterpik Ultra with the orthodontic tip is more than three times as effective as floss at removing plaque.–2–
You’ll see results in 14 days or less! Guaranteed!
Benefits:
- Improves dental hygiene and is clinically proven to be up to 93% more effective than dental floss at improving gum health–1–
- Removes bacteria deep between teeth and below the gumline where brushing and flossing will not reach
- Massages and stimulates gums to help prevent gingivitis and improve oral health
- Works with water or your favorite mouthwash
- Leaves a clean, fresh sensation
Product Features:

Retweet this postBosch The MIXXO – Review + Giveaway
![]()
Bosch is one of those companies that you WANT in your kitchen.
I love Bosch products, they always seem to spark my attention.
Bosch offers Refrigerators, Dishwashers, Washers & Dryers, Stoves and Small Appliances.
Since I mentioned Washers & Dryers, take a look at these! OMGosh what I would give!

This is a awesome cordless appliance and is especially great for anyone on the go!
- First cordless hand blender in the world with lithium ion technology
- Powerful motor with 10500 rpm
- No memory effect -battery does not lose capacity
- Practically no loss of charge even when handblender is not used for long periods of time
- Charging station can be wall mounted or placed on work top
- LED light indicates level of charge remainging in battery
- 2 button safety switch-on
- Easy cleaning: detachable, dishwasher safe, stainless steel blender foot
- Transparent, mixing beaker with easy seal lid
- Mini chopper with removable stainless steel blades and lid
First, I love that it’s cordless. I hate making smoothies for the family and I have a cord in my way. The MIXXO is very powerful. I can place fruits in and it chops and smooths them out with no problem. And of course I love that it’s dishwasher safe! That’s important to me. Anything to make my life a little easier is always best. Not to say I am lazy, but with 4 kids I don’t have time to sit in the kitchen contently washing dishes.
Again, I absolutely love this!
Don’t take my word for it, YOU have the chance to try it yourself.
Tell us how many different ways do you think you can use the MIXXO?
