Using Your Heads - Gift Guide Pick for Kid's Gifts

October 31, 2009
My son is a superhero fanatic. At age 5 he can tell you all of the superhero's names, alter ego names, abilties and their backstories. He spends his days picking his favorites and mimicking their super-abilities. I have yet to meet a little boy his age that doesn't think they are or want to be a superhero. When I found Using Your Heads and saw their products, I knew my son would love them.

Using Your Heads creates personalized coloring books, labels and stickers in themes using your child's image. You upload a picture of your child and they convert it to a cartoon image and create these amazing personalized gifts. There are several themes to choose from. I'm sure any little girl would love to have a coloring book starring her as a fairy tale princess.


Animal loving children will get a kick out of seeing themsleves swimming with sea creatures and walking among dinosaurs.


The Superhero Adventure coloring book that came to our house has been such a treat for my son. He loves flipping through it and making up stories about how "he" is saving the day! The personalized stickers are so great and a really fun addition to the coloring book. I was amazed at how much the pictures looked like my son. As soon as he opened it, he knew it was him.



Aside from the coloring books, Using Your Heads has fantastic return address labels. How perfect would these be for sending out your holiday greeting cards?


I think any of the items at Using Your Heads would make a wonderful gift for a child. What's more, if your child has a special best friend or family member they adore, you can get a coloring book with more than one person's face in it! Using Your Heads is definitely one of my picks for holiday gifting. The books are affordable and would be such a treat for the child. I think they'd also make a wonderful Get Well present, birthday gift or even a Big Brother or Big Sister gift when a new baby is on the way!

Head over to Using Your Heads and see what great gifts you can get for the kids in your life!
 

Cuisinart Rice Plus Multi-Cooker

October 27, 2009
I got a new cooking appliance recently that I absolutely love. The Cuisinart Rice Plus Multi-Cooker is a complete cooking system. This appliance is practically fool-proof and definitely makes cooking easier. I have a slow cooker but, it doesn't steam rice. I have a vegetable steamer but, it doesn't cook soup. Every time I cook rice on the stove I either undercook it or it burns on the bottom. The Cuisinart Rice Plus Multi-Cooker has pre-programmed options for cooking every kind of rice, risot...

Hirsana Golden Millet Oil Capsules

October 20, 2009
My whole life I have been blessed with incredibly thick hair. Despite the thickness, I've always been concerned with how much hair I lose, especially in the shower. I worry that someday it will catch up to me and I will see a thinning of my hair. In addition to my hair, I've always had thick nails. My nails seem to grow quickly but, because of that, they break often. I've always taken vitamin supplements but, have recently discovered something that is amazing for hair and nails.

Millet oil ...

Purple Pig Shirts

October 18, 2009
I got a shirt recently that I really don't ever want to take off. I have a closet full of soft tees, tagless tees, vintage tees and more. They are all very cute and most are really soft. None of them can measure up to the tshirt that I have from Purple Pig.


Purple Pig Shirts are yoga inspired tees with inspirational sayings and images that remind us to remain centered. Some of the shirts are made from organic cotton, which adds to the good feeling. Knowing you are doing something good for the ...

Little Lids by Katie Segel

October 3, 2009
One of the things I love about the weather turning cooler is the prospect of all the fun winter accessories. As a mom, I look forward to finding fun hats, scarves and coats for my kids. Just because the weather is cold kids shouldn't have to bundle up in boring outerwear. When it comes to winter hats for children, I have found the place to shop.

Little Lids by Katie Segel is a boutique shop on Etsy. Katie started her business in 2004 and it's grown exponentially. The fleece hats for children ...

Rich Frog Industries is a wonderful company that I came across recently. I first laid eyes on Rick the Frog and just had to see what other cute items they had to offer. I was not disappointed.


This award winning company creates a number of soft toys for children, adorable bathtoys, the cutest pull toys I've ever seen and truly amazing mobiles. The stackable toys are made from soft velour and cotton and have the crinkly collar that babies love. I love the idea of the bouncy mobiles and adore t...

Boon Inc. Review

September 15, 2009
Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. When the mother of invention is also a mother of a messy toddler, amazing idea are born. Boon Inc. began with Rebecca Finell's need to solve her unorganized and messy bathtub for her toddler. The Frog Pod was her first wonderful invention and, thankfully, she didn't stop there.

Boon Inc.'s toys and accessories for babies and kids are all quite amazing. I love the modern designs of the products. The toys and gear are all very pleasing to the eye whi...
