Every talks about how they want to help make your life easier, rarely does that become true… then a friend of mine offered to send me a Babbleboxx – which ended up being the coolest package of gift ideas.
Now I hand picked a few of the selections to share with my reads because no only did I like the suggestions (some of which I already had and use but some of them I’m totally planning on getting for some of my friends and family as gifts.)
I wanna start with an item that I think will be the big gift for all the teens Casio is a name thats been around for dozens of years… but I’m not sure I connected them to style but when I opened the box – what I saw was a complete shock… I saw something that I would have said would have cost over a thousand dollars nope I was wrong, for just a couple of hundred dollars you can pick up the CASIO EQB600 which is super attractive and really an amazingly sophisticated look. Casio’s EDIFICE timepieces possess features including Bluetooth, multi-layered dials, world time, daily alarms and more. Made with strong, comfortable band materials of resin and stainless steel.
Casio’s EDIFICE EQB600 uses Bluetooth to connect to a smartphone via the Casio Watch+ app. As a result, wearers can adjust the watch to display the correct time in the current location and for over 300 cities worldwide, even correcting for Daylight Saving Time. With the help of Casio’s Tough Solar Power, this timepiece has a battery life of approximately 7 months which means wearers don’t have to worry about low batteries on long trips. Its also water resistance up to 100 meters and because of the bluetooth link has a phone finder function too. You can find this watch at select retailers like Fred Meyer Jewelers and amazon.
We’ve all heard of a fitbit but I love this next idea of the Wearable Wellness Tracker from Spire, forget only tracking steps – track your stress and learn how to handle it. Spire is the only wearable that increases mindfulness and productivity by tracking breathing patterns reflecting our state of mind. Spire’s in-the-moment notifications makes becoming mindful more attainable throughout the day while in-app breathing exercises and guided mini-meditation sessions promote the modification of negative behaviors.Through consistent, unobtrusive, and actionable insights, Spire users take an active role in making positive, reflexive improvements towards a greater holistic health and well-being. Spire charges on an included wireless charging pad, features a 7-day battery and is washer proof. At only $99 its a great gift for those that need help to reduce stress (hello, thats totally me!) or thats into their overall wellness. While you can find it on amazon, our friends at Spire wanted to offer a $10 off your purchase of Spire at the following link – Discount is applied at checkout. https://spire.io/r/Influencer
The 2(X)IST Men’s Activewear collection is designed to support you from total relaxation to game changing performance. Featuring moisture wicking fabric and innovative design, these pieces are just a small glimpse into the active lifestyle of the 2(X)IST man. I love these Mesh shorts I found on amazon and even picked up one for my uncle. The line looks super cool and you can find more at 2xist.com
Lastly is something I’ve used daily for YEARS and I think its a great stocking stuffer. Every morning I put on my Old Spice deodorant, so I was excited to try out two new products the Old Spice Sweat Defense and Hair Pomade products. With nearly 80 years as an American icon, Old Spice is the authority on the male grooming experience. Old Spice Pomade provides Moderate Hold and Low Shine Finish, for hair that’s reworkable. Old Spice Sweat Defense delivers 66 percent sweat reduction, outperforming the 20 percent category standard for anti-perspirants. Sweat Defense is also turbocharged with Old Spice’s proprietary BCD technology that traps and locks away bad odor as it occurs.
Want to win a collection of the items I’ve talked about above?
We love GameStop… We shop there pretty regularly, well till the point where the staff knows our name. When GameStop asked to sponsor a post about holiday gifts from GameStop – I was like absolutely.
Lets start with the items that Marc found while shopping at GameStop.
My Daughter Harper – Loves the princess gear at GameStop so while she doesnt play the video games she does love their toys. She picked up a Princess Peach amiibo figure and it’ll just be good for her imagination play. She found a Funko Pop from Disney’s Beauty & the Beast Belle and quickly added that to her cart. She also picked up a new cup with Belle the Princess on it as well.
My youngest Daughter Harlow – is only 1 and a half, so she heads to the stuffed animals and finds the largest pikachu stuffed animal she can hold. She nuzzles with that for a minute walks it over to Harper’s cart and drops it in before making seeing the Princess Zelda plush and doesnt let that go… not even to head to the check out.
Here are some of the amazing video games – I picked up for Marc for his Nintendo 3DS…
Marc is a superfan of Skylanders Imaginators, but didnt have the Dark starter pack so we got that for him. Now go brings his skylanders where ever he goes…
Marc is also getting into Yo-Kai Watch so picking up the new Yo-Kai Watch 2 game was pretty easy.
Then of course being a big Nintendo fan we got the newest Super Mario game… Super Mario Maker.
I also highly recommend Just Dance 2017 – its a game the whole family can play!

Kevin James plays Kevin Gable who is a newly retired police officer living in Massapequa, New York, on Long Island, who looks forward to spending time with his wife and three kids and with several other retired officers. However, he soon discovers that the trials he faces at home with his family can be as challenging as what he had faced on the job.
We got to sit with Kevin James, Erinn Hayes (who plays Kevin’s wife Donna), and producer Andy Fickman. One of the running themes of questions for Kevin was about him being a native Long Islander and what it really means to him to be able to return to Long Island and filming in Bethpage.
Followed by a set tour guided by Andy Fickman. Andy shared how Kevin Can Wait is the first scripted drama to be shooting full time on Long Island and how much work went into launching the studio.
The next episode will be airing on CBS at 8pm 11/7/16.
KEVIN CAN WAIT: Who’s Better than Us?
Kevin gets jealous when he hears how happy his former patrol partner Jimmy (Adam Sandler) is with his fit, new rookie, Nick (former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman), and sets out to …
The best superhero movie of the year, Marvel’s DOCTORSTRANGE is finally playing in theatres everywhere! This is the latest chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a movie that must be seen on the big screen, but I highly recommend seeing it in IMAX 3D. The 3D effects are some of the best I’ve ever seen in movie.
I felt like I was on a rollercoaster ride between the effects, the movement of the camera, the action it was all incredible. The wildest ride yet for a Marvel movie. The story of Doctor Stephen Strange, the Master of the Mystic Arts, who made his first appearance in Marvel comics in 1963. A lot of the original Steve Ditko’s comic book art influenced the environments that were created for the film… which again just goes to show you how close Marvel stays to the original content.
The story follows world-famous neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange, whose life changes forever after a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely place—a mysterious enclave known as Kamar-Taj. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality. Before long Strange—armed with newly acquired magical powers—is forced to choose whether to return to his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence. Marvel Studios’ “Doctor Strange” stars Benedict Cumberbatch (“The Imitation Game,” “Black Mass”), Chiwetel Ejiofor (“12 Years a Slave,” “Triple 9”), Rachel McAdams(“Spotlight,” “Southpaw”), Benedict Wong (“The Martian,” “Prometheus”), Michael Stuhlbarg (“A Serious Man,” “Jobs”), Benjamin Bratt (“Traffic,” “Piñero”) and Scott Adkins (“El Gringo,” “Expendables 2”), with Mads Mikkelsen (“The Hunt,” “Casino Royale”) and Academy Award® winner Tilda Swinton (“Michael Clayton,” “Julia”).
While filming in New York City, Benedict Cumberbatch, in full costume, went for an afternoon cup of tea between setups with his wife and some friends in a cafe in Greenwich Village. Even the usually nonplussed New Yorkers were surprised to have a Super Hero in their midst.
