CMM's 2017 Holiday Gift Guide - Part 1

Welcome to Coupon Mama Massachusetts' 2017 Holiday Gift Guide

Need some gift-giving ideas? I've compiled a list of products I've either reviewed here on the blog or personally use and love. I hope you find it helpful in your quest to find the best gifts for your loved ones.

SmitCo offers a wide variety of great products geared towards the little princess in your life. You can save 20% off your purchase of SmitCo products by using promo code N3CQD6AE. Some of my favorites include:

• Mermaid-Themed Top Secret Journal Set - check out my review of this really cool set. This is also available in an emoji theme.

• Scented Secret Scrapbook - How cool is this? Check out my review - my niece loved this scrapbook! This is also available in a horse theme.

• Light-Up Unicorn Journal - I was just stunned to see that this journal really does light up in the most magical way! What a great gift for a little girl. Check out my review of this fabulous "Be Magical" journal!

Why not try a Brick Loot subscription? If your child enjoys Legos and building things, then this would make the perfect gift. You can get a 1 month, 3 month or 6 month subscription - save 10% off with the coupon code usfamily.

Need a great story to read with your child? My dear friend, Neal Bogosian, authored this wonderful novel, The Adventures of Chip Doolin, available in paperback as well as a Kindle edition. 

How about this adorable Little Golden Book: The Little Grumpy Cat that Wouldn't?

Itty Bittys make great, inexpensive stocking stuffers. There's an Itty Bitty for everyone - from Peanuts to Star Wars to the Walking Dead and just about every pop culture icon in between. Check out the cool Spiderman Itty Bitty I have!

Grossed out by the thought of putting your munchkin on the floor? All those germs give me the heeby jeebies. Squishy Mats are a great way to keep your baby off the germy floor while allowing him or her the opportunity to play. My pup, Riley, and I reviewed this product - check out what we had to say. Use the promo code USFAMILY at checkout to save 15%.

Need something a bit more portable than the Squishy Mat? Check out the Monkey Mat - great especially for the outdoors. And it's seriously barely bigger than a CD case so it'd barely make a dent in your diaper bag.

Leap Frog makes so many great learning toys for the young ones. A favorite I give for baby showers is the Leap Frog My Pal - Violet or Pal.

Whenever I see an Eric Carle book, I get all teary-eyed and nostalgic. The illustrations are just amazing. This hardcover set is great for little fingers.

This 2018 Lil Bub calendar is an absolute must for any animal lover. Why buy this?

1. Lil Bub is an amazing rescue story
2. Lil Bub is just so darn cute
3. Lil Bub is an advocate for homeless and special needs animals - she has helped raise over $200,000 for the ASPCA

I have this "Sorry I Can't. I Have Plans With My Cat." t-shirt and wear it on a regular basis.

How about this great t-shirt, perfect for the whole family! "Adopted is my Favorite Breed" superimposed over a cute dog silhouette - available in men's, women's and youth sizes! And right now, order through Amazon and get free returns in case it doesn't fit!

My husband and I currently have this Woof frame on our floating shelf; it holds the most ridiculous photo of our pup, Riley.

These cute kitty socks make great stocking stuffers!

There are so many adorable kitty earrings. Get a pair or two or ten (!) of kitty earrings for the Crazy Cat Lady (like me!) in your life. Here are a few of my favorites:

       

There are a variety of animal coloring books, but this Creative Cats one is my favorite. I keep it on my nightstand to help me Zen out when I'm stressed.

My husband and I have already made a pretty good dent in our list, especially with the convenience of online shopping. Online shopping has been a huge game changer for us, especially when it comes to shopping for gifts my niece and nephew who are 8 and 6.

SmitCo was kind enough to send me their new Light Up Diary with Secret Invisible Ink Pen Set.

Young Girls' Gifts for 20% Off - Shop Early for the Holidays!

Can you believe there are less than 120 days until Christmas?! For me, that's right around the corner - I like my holiday shopping list to be complete BY December!

And one of my favorite ways to shop is from my sofa, in my pajamas. Online shopping has been a huge game changer. Want to shop SmitCo online too? Check the bottom for a 20% coupon code!

And I found the perfect gift online for my mermaid-loving niece, Elin.

SmitCo was kind enough to send me their new Top Secret Journal Set. And it's MERMAID THEMED! I just know Elin will love this gift - not only does she love mermaids, but she is obsessed with arts and crafts and doodling. This is the best of both worlds!

This journal set comes with a gorgeous mermaid-themed journal, a star shaped ballpoint pen with invisible ink (!), and an LED clip-on book light. There is also a sheet of sparkly mermaid stickers to use in the journal.

I was so impressed with the quality of the journal. Many for young girls are shoddily bound, but this one features a hard cover front and back and is really sturdy. And I can't wait to see what kinds of secret messages Elin plans to write with the invisible ink!

SmitCo also asked that I check out their exfoliating gloves, so they sent me a 2-pack to try out. Oddly enough, they came in my favorite colors - purple and green.

If you know me in real life, you know I'm not really a "girly girl." I've only ever had a pedicure twice in my life (once was for my wedding). So I had no idea how to use these gloves. But after a bit of research, I realized that they're in place of your loofah or whatever other shower tool you use.

These. Are. Awesome! They seem like they're only for tiny hands, but once they get wet, they stretch a bit. They don't fall off because there's a pretty secure elastic band at the wrist. Best part? You can run them through the washer and dryer. I can't even imagine how germ-y my loofah is... so being able to clean these is just awesome.

You can buy these in packs of 2, 4, 8 or 12. They make great gifts, so why not buy a larger pack and split them up among your friends? They come in a clear, plastic zip container that would be perfect to put your carry-on travel products in when going on vacation.

SmitCo offers many quality, affordable gifts for girls ages 2 to 12. They have several different locked diary sets for girls in Emoji, Diva and Mermaid themes, as well as scrapbook, nail and play dress up sets and party favors and to offer hours of fun.

If you're looking more for some glitz and glam, SmitCo products also include rose gold, gold or rhodium plated jewelry and sets, as well as very popular stretch sets for little girls - all packed in cute gift boxes.

20% Off Girly Gifts - Mermaid-Themed Goodies!

My beautiful niece, Elin, will be taking her First Communion at the end of May. I've been batting around ideas in my head for the perfect gift since I don't believe in giving monetarily for these types of events. Elin just recently received a set of rosaries from her recently-passed Vavo, so I wanted to get something not necessarily religious-themed.

And I found the perfect gift for my mermaid-loving Elin.

SmitCo was kind enough to send me their new Scented Secret Scrapbook. The icing on the top of the cake is the scratch and sniff stickers! I just know Elin will love this gift - not only does she love mermaids, but she is obsessed with arts and crafts. This is the best of both worlds!

This kit comes with 114 individual pieces, including stickers, washi tape and a lockable scented diary! I can't even!

SmitCo offers quality, affordable gifts for girls ages 2 to 12. A huge hit is the brand new Mermaid themed scrapbook kit  - which I just had to have - as well as 3 unique princess dress up sets. They also have several different diaries with lock and keys and diary sets for girls in Emoji and Diva themes, as well as several different nail art sets to provide hours of fun.

SmitCo products also include rose gold, gold or rhodium plated jewelry and sets, as well as very popular stretch sets for little girls - all packed in cute gift boxes.

Mystery, Vixens, 1930s Zombies, Oh My! Book Review: "Dead Men Kill"

As a die-hard zombie fan, I'm always looking for another film or novel to whet my zombie-loving appetite. Best selling American pulp fiction author L. Rob Hubbard introduces a unique perspective on the walking dead, setting his story, Dead Men Kill, in the Golden Age of the 1930s. Originally published in a 1934 issue of the pulp fiction magazine, Thrilling Detective, Dead Men Kill follows Terry Lane, a police detective, through the most spine-tingling and dangerous investigation of his life. In an effort to capture a serial murderer, Lane battles the living dead, encounters a sexy vixen, and tries to evade the mysterious and deadly threats from "loup-garou."

If you're looking for an action-packed, quick and easy read, Dead Men Kill is sure to be right up your alley. At less than 100 pages, L. Ron Hubbard's story took me less than two hours to read. While not the most elegant use of language or most flowery prose, the short chapters are engaging and leave you wanting more.

The audio-drama version is equally as fast paced and suspenseful. Featuring Emmy Award-winning actor John Mariano, the audio performance includes music and sound effects that make you feel as though you're running beside Terry Lane through the cemetery and fighting off your own pack of brainless zombies. In some cases, the audio-drama acting is almost too quick paced, making it difficult to follow the story line if you're not reading along with the actors' performances.

The book itself is printed on wonderfully thick paper meant to mimic the look and feel of the pulp fiction magazines in which the story was originally published and bring that Golden Age nostalgia in its readers. If you're looking for an out-of-the-box zombie tale or you just want a quick and entertaining read, Dead Men Kill  is worth the time.

Disclaimer: Galaxy Press provided me with a free copy of the pulp fiction book "Dead Men Kill" and an audio CD to facilitate my review. I received no other compensation and truly enjoyed reading and listening. All opinions in this review are 100% my own.
