This allows our buyers to search the globe for the finest selection, best value, and unparalleled choices in products for your home, work, and play. Where you might see eight or nine styles of bar stools at a retail store, our bar stool site features over 900 styles. And the five or six patio furniture sets at the local garden store? Try 200 at patiofurnitureusa.com.
A Little Bit About the Charleston Medium Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree
The holidays just got a bit more hassle-free because the Charleston Christmas Tree is all about choice. With size options ranging from 5 feet all the way up to 10 feet, this merry tree has a classic medium shape and lush, full tips. It comes pre-lit with clear lights, and some sizes offer a multi-colored light option, too. You'll also receive a metal stand and two-year manufacturer's warranty. How's that for a worry-free holiday? Available in various sizes including; 5 ft, 6.5ft, 7ft, 7.5ft, 9ft, 10ft.
(Pictured Above:The Charleston Pre-Lit Christmas Tree All Set Up & Decorated In Our Living Room)
Our Experience
We are HUGE FAN'S of Hayneedle.com in our home! With the quality item's, great prices, and amazing customer service, you can't help but LOVE the shopping experience with them each and every time! As such, we were so excited to have the opportunity to review the Charleston Medium Pre-lit Tree from one of Hayneedles online stores, http://www.christmastreesgalore.com/

It's been a long standing tradition in our house to put up the tree either the day before Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving day (we like to enjoy it for a while since it's so much work to put it up ;) and it stays up through the New Year. Because we leave the tree up so long, we have had an Artificial Tree for as long as I can remember. Last year I noticed that the bulbs on our old tree were going out a little more frequently, and it just didn't look as spiffy as it had in past years.

So, this year I set off to find a new tree! Although I searched through several stores (the prices on some were OUTRAGEOUS to say the least) catalogs, and online, I just couldn't find one that I liked and that would fit in the space that I wanted to put it in. At last I went to Hayneedle.com (where I should have gone first!) and found that they have an entire online store dedicated to Christmas Tree's and decorations! How thrilled were we when the 7.5 ft Charleston Medium Pre-Lit Tree arrived?! I wanted to set it up right away and had to restrain myself for a few weeks (dh would have thought I'd lost my mind if I set it up in October ;). Finally, the day before Thanksgiving we brought all of the decorations out and on Thanksgiving we set everything up (The Charleston Medium Pre Lit Tree All Decorated Pictured Above).

This tree is absolutely gorgeous, and the varying needles make it look so real! With the perfect amount of white lights pre-installed, all we had to do was shape the branches, plug it in, and decorate! We had a wonderful time putting it up; I'm sure that this tree will last for years to come and bring our family many happy memories. Looking for that perfect tree this holiday season? Check out http://www.christmastreesgalore.com/ , I'm sure you'll find one that you LOVE at a price that can't be beat!

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Dinosaur Train InterAction Dinosaurs by Learning Curve (Review & Giveaway)

A Little Bit About Dinosaur Train InterAction Dinosaurs by Learning Curve
Kids love to play with the new Dinosaur Train Interaction Toys with SmartTalk technology by Learning Curve. Based on the hit PBS Show from The Jim Henson Company, these fun and educational toys actually recognize and talk to each other.

Features:
•Based on the iconic character from Jim Henson’s Dinosaur Train television series.


•SmartTalk technology gives the InterAction Dino's the ability to recognize and interact with other dinosaurs in the line—just press his button and he’ll share tons of fun Dino data.

•Interactive sounds.
•Poseable

•Manufacturer's Suggested Age: 3 Years and Up
(InterAction Boris Pictured Above)
Our Experience
B is the ULTIMATE Dinosaur fan! He LOVE'S Dinosaur Train (which airs on PBS in the morning here-check your local listings) and he never misses an episode! The princess (who is the girliest little girl you'll ever come across;) even gets into it. How can you not with the adorable animation?! There's so much to learn on Dinosaur Train as well (I love that this show teaches them so much), at their young ages my children know more about Dinosaurs than I do!

B was naturally super excited when I introduced him to the InterAction Boris and Spike (Boris pictured above, Spike pictured below) by Learning Curve. By simply setting them in front of each other, they talk and interact (through SmartTalk Technology), they created a display that left both the Princess and B with their mouth's wide open......the princess still says "it's magic" when they start talking to each other. B and the princess have had a wonderful time listening to all of the Dinosaur facts they talk about and the conversations their two new friends have! They're funny, adorable, and my favorite part? They have tons of knowledge (Dinosaur Facts) to bestow upon my children. We absolutely love Dinosaur Train InterAction Dinosaurs! B now wants to collect the other's; can't wait to hear what they all have to say to each other when the gangs all here!

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: SmartyAnts Phonics Reading Pup (Review & Giveaway)


A Litte Bit About the SmartyAnts Phonics Reading Pup:
From the founder of LeapFrog
The SmartyAnts Phonics Reading Pup was developed by the founder of LeapFrog and is an educational companion that offers your child a fun, interactive way to learn to read. The cuddly robotic dog comes with a one-month membership to the SmartyAnts Web site, an innovative site that includes a vast variety of stories and games to help children ages four to seven (preschool to first-grade) develop reading skills. Download songs and stories from the site to the puppy, and he will sing phonics-based songs and tell stories that help children practice reading skills.
  Our Experience
The princess loves us to read to her! We read with her daily, and her love for books only grows as she gets older. So I was excited when we were introduced to the new SmartyAnts Phonics Reading Pup (from the founder of LeapFrog). The Phonics Reading Pup comes with 10 pre-loaded songs, one story, and a membership to the Smarty Ants online world (where you can download new stories and songs to your puppy).

 We received the White Puppy (pictured above; also available in the Husky Puppy), and upon taking it out of the box, I was pleasantly surprised by the softness! This cuddly little pup is ready to go straight out of the box, so we pressed his paw, and the princess lit up in delight as the pleasant voice sang and the pup moved (very lifelike), she was in complete awe! We later took her online to the SmartyAnt's site where you can download additional stories and songs (very easy) and play in the online SmartyAnts virtual world. The Phonics Reading Pup is perfectly age appropriate, and such a fun reading companion (we strive to make learning fun in our home :); The princess has found a new best buddy!

The most interactive, fun, learning toy I've seen this season! Bring home the SmartyAnts Phonics Reading Pup this Holiday season! Inspire little minds with this fun, cuddly, and interactive reading tool!

A remote control monster?! Yes, B was all for it! Plus, the Imaginext BIGFOOT the Monster, really airs more on the side of friendly, and funny.

• Karaoke: sing and play along with the 3 included songs
-Active Graphics™ Technology allows you to jam out by simply touching the surface!
-Built-in speaker Line-out jack for earphone or amplifier connection

Our Experience
B is a music lover and has been since he was a baby. He has several instruments and he plays the Piano. His interest was definitely sparked when he seen the Paper Jamz Guitar (available in a variety of eye catching shapes, colors, and designs)! We pulled it from the box, and his immediate interest was in it's slim size (really very impressive). After checking it out some more we found that it's features make it great for both the novice player, or even the more experienced player (Freestyle mode allows you to play chords on your own). B loves to play with it in perfect play mode, all he has to do is strum, and the notes to three different songs play (as stated perfectly). This has to be one of the most amazing toy's I've seen this season. It really takes music to a whole new level. B has now asked if Santa can bring a Paper Jamz Amp and Drum set....I think he'll be pleasantly surprised on Christmas morning;). Paper Jamz make great gifts for music lover's of all ages; check out Paper Jamz this Holiday Season, I'm sure you'll be just as impressed as we are!

We are big fans of the ERGObaby carrier, so I was excited to see that they also offer little mini versions of their comfortable carrier's for Doll's & pretend play. This really is the  perfect accessory for every little girl and boy who love to take their baby doll's out and about.

The princess was ecstatic when the ERGObaby doll carrier arrived. Her favorite thing to do now is put her baby on her back in the ERGO, and take her for a spin on her Big Wheel ;). This carrier is the very best in quality and as it's washable, it will last for years to come.  The ERGObaby doll carrier would make an adorable Holiday gift!

Our Experience
Cuisinart offers so many amazing products, they have definitely become a brand that we know and trust in our home. Cuisinart's quality always goes without saying, they offer top of the line item's and stand behind their products (what consumer doesn't love that?!). While we are not regular wine drinker's we do appreciate wine,  so the 8 Bottle Private Reserve Wine Cellar is the perfect size for us!  Ready for use right out of the box (no assembly required), plug it in and your ready to go! There are so many different features; including a menu on the touch pad that shows you the best wines to pair with different food's. The adjustable thermostat ensures that the wine that your storing is stored and the optimal temperature to maintain freshness and taste.

The Cuisinart Private Reserve Wine Cellar has adjustable feet (fitting on a most counter tops easily - and under most cabinets). With a double pain window, and stainless steel finish it adds a wonderful touch to the decor of every kitchen! The Cuisinart 8 Bottle Private Reserve Wine Cellar would make an amazing Holiday gift for the novice wine drinker & wine enthusiast's alike.
