I received products from Buttercup Button for review. All opinions are my own. I love keeping my home smelling great, especially whenever I have friends and families over. During the holidays, it's great to have a warm, holiday scent in the air to really set the holiday mood. However, when it comes to candles, and wax melts, sometimes it's hard to know which are true quality, and provide a strong scent, and which won't even make a small room smell good. At Buttercup Button they have high quality Read more [...]

*Emily Reviews writers were provided with product samples. All opinions are my own. Sands Alive! My nephew Gabe loves playing in the sand box and playing with water. He's all about "sensory play" which is great in the summer but can be hard to do as much in the winter. Sands Alive! is a brand of kinetic sand that is designed to stick to itself so it is less messy to play with inside. You can purchase just sand or a sand kit like the Play Visions Sands Alive! 3-D Sealife Adventure kit which Read more [...]

I received product from Innovation Factory for my review. All opinions are my own. About a year ago, I got my husband a multi-purpose tool called Trucker’s Friend. Over the last year, my step-father has admired this tool, saying he had never seen anything like it. When it came time for me to think about a Christmas gifts for my step-father, I knew instantly that I should get him his very own Trucker’s Friend. Trucker’s Friend comes from a company called Innovation Factory. Innovation Read more [...]

Thank you to Bright Starts for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I went on the search for some fun interactive toys to put under the tree for our toddler this Christmas.  He turned 2 in June and is too old for "baby" toys but can't quite work all the pieces and parts of the big boy toys.  So I turned to Bright Starts and their collection of fun, eye-catching toys. The first product I received is the Bright Starts 3-in-1 Step & Ride Read more [...]

Thank you to NCircle Entertainment for providing me with the following products, free of charge.  All opinions are my own. There has been a new gift idea floating around a couple of my Facebook friends lately.  The idea is to box a DVD with a pair of pajamas, hot chocolate mix, cup or mug, and popcorn for a great St. Nick gift, Christmas gift, or a "just because I love you" gift.  I think it's a great way to enjoy the season and plan to  include these great new holiday DVDs from NCircle Entertainment.

I received products from Paderno World-Cuisine for my review. All opinions are my own. This year, I find myself in the mood to gift kitchen products. My entire family has been trying to eat healthier. One of the ways we are doing so is by eating at home rather than fast food/take out. We also try to prepare healthy options while at home. One company that is helping us make this change is Paderno World-Cuisine. Paderno World-Cuisine offers a full line of culinary products. Their selection Read more [...]

Thank you to Kamik for providing us with the following product, free of charge, for review. All opinions are my own. Well. It's mid-Novmeber and Winter has entered like a lion. Even though the cold came a couple weeks ago, I had hopes that the snow would hold off. However, Mother Nature had other plans and we got about 12 inches of snow this week. Thankfully, we were somewhat prepared. Kamik has been providing customers with resilient footwear since 1898 and they had sent us a pair of boots Read more [...]

*Bartley's sent product samples for review. All opinions are my own. For many people, the holiday season reminds us to be giving. Yet, it can be an inconvenient time to try and give to charities because so many of us spend more money during the holidays than we do the rest of the year so we have less to give. As a result, I love finding sites like Bartley's that let me buy items for the people (and pets) on my personal Christmas list while helping others in need. Bartley's donates money to Read more [...]
