2011 Holiday Gift Guide Feature: Holiday Candle Making Kit from A Toy Garden {Review + Giveaway}}
November 23rd, 2011 | 
Author: 
A Toy Garden is truly a wonderful place to find all sorts of fantastic gifts for children of all ages! After having my own child, I’ve been pretty picky about the toys and gifts that she receives. I’m a fan of the sort of gifts that I know will be treasured for many years to come, much like the products I found while browsing the vast selection offered at A Toy Garden. A Toy Garden is a family based business that offers only the best! You’ll find that they offer a large amount of fair trade toys, as well as toys made 100% in the USA!
I was blessed with the opportunity to review the Make It Yourself Candle Kit to feature in my 2011 Holiday Gift Guide! The Multi-Colored Make It Yourself Candle Kit assembled exclusively by A Toy Garden is a lot of fun! In my mind this candle making kit is the perfect craft to do together with family and friends during the holiday season!What this kit includes is 12 8×8 inch sheets of 100% honeycombed beeswax in 12 different beautiful colors, 4 yards of quality wick, and very easy to follow instructions.
My daughter and I used the candle making kit together to create such pretty candles! I first prepped the beeswax since it was stored in a cooler place with my blow dryer to make sure it was warm enough to roll. I then cut the wick to the proper size and then let my daughter help me roll each candle out! We also brought out my mini clay cutters to use to add different shapes such as stars to each candle!The candles came out great and my daughter was so proud of her creations! I look forward to trying out some different combinations because the combinations of candles you can make are endless!
I think hand crafted candles are wonderful gifts and how extra special if the receiver knew you made them yourself! I recommend checking out A Toy Garden! They have a fantastic selection of arts and craft items among the vast selection of toys that encourage imaginative play! Keep in mind that it’s not too late to order the The Multi-Colored Make It Yourself Candle Kit to enjoy with your own friends and family this season! It’s also available in Christmas or Hannukah colors, and in natural beeswax.

Holiday Gift Guide 2011: PakNacks….Charms to Decorate Your Stuff!
Time is ticking away till Christmas Day! I know a lot of us may have already gotten the big items out of the way but what about the little things? I remember always being excited about what was in my stocking because usually those were free game on Christmas Eve! With that being said, I’ve got a great product to spotlight as the perfect stocking stuffers for the kids this year called PakNaks®!
What are PakNaks?
Basically, they are super cute soft rubbery 3-d decorations for kids (or adults like me) with over 40 cool designs ($3.99 each). They can be put on backpacks, lunch bags, headbands, computer bags, household items, and whatever else you would want to put them on! They are very easy to attach, just peel and stick! You can change out your PakNaks to for a new look as they are attached with fuzzy coins( extras are available for 2/$1.00).
What’s neat about the PakNaks is that they each have information cards about themselves from where their
homes are, favorite foods, best friend, and favorite activity. Pak Naks make the perfect stocking stuffers, great secret santa gifts, or anytime gift! Once your kid has one, they’ll want to collect them all! Lucky for parents that they are extremly afforable and perfect for children ages 3 and up!
Buy it: Check out http://www.paknak.com/ and if you so happen to order please use the code PAK20 and save 20% off your order!

Holiday Gift Guide 2011: The Slice™ Safety Cutter {Review}
The Slice™ Safety Cutter is the most versatile tool you’ll ever own. Features a finger-friendly microscopic ceramic blade that’s quick, easy and a safe substitute for scissors or traditional safety knives. Slice Safety Cutters are perfect for scrap-booking, clipping recipes, coupons and news articles, removing shrink-wrap, opening CDs, DVDs, plastic packaging, and more. Includes a built-in magnet and key-ring hole.
- Ceramic blade lasts longer than steel
- Stays sharp and never rusts
- Built-in magnet and key-ring hole
- Rubberized non-slip finish
- Finger-Friendly™ Design
- For left- and right-handers
What a handy item the Slice Saftey Cutter is! It such an innovate product that has made my life easier! I like that this product is safe and easy for children to handle. No more worries of falling on scissors or getting cut!
I’ve been using this on almost everything. It’s been fantastic for opening the wrapping on cd and dvd cases, trimming coupons, cutting out bookmarks, clipping coupons and recipes out of papers and magazines. It’s such a great little tool.
The cost of this Safety Cutter is equally impressive at only 5.99! I honestly thought this product would be going for more. The price is reasonable enough to purchase several to keep around. One for my keyring, one to reside on the office magnet board, and one for crafting! Overall The Slice Saftey Cutter’s would make fantastic stocking stuffers this Christmas season! I give this product 5 out of 5 stars!
