Herculittles-The Tiny Little Magnet with the Herculean Hold

Elizabeth — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:07:26 +0000

Why are Herculittles a great stocking stuffer gift for teens? Because they are the perfect way for teens to display photos or reminders on the inside of their locker door, or to hang up artwork or a paper with a terrific grade on the refrigerator at home. Herculittles are tiny yet mighty-each one is strong enough to hold 10-12 sheets of paper. They come in four different shapes and are affordably priced at $7.99 for a box of 8. Get some for yourself to use at home, at the office, or for a perfect teacher gift! Shop online at www.herculittles.com.

LanoLip Illuminated Gloss

This is a terrific stocking stuffer idea for teen girls! LanoLip combines healing lip balm and protective gloss with a tube that has an LED light in it, making it easy to apply anywhere! The tube is shaped like a rectangle and one long side is a mirror. Available in dreamy, Brown Frost, a delicious Wine Berry, and a flirty, Pouty Pink. Priced at $14.99. Get one for yourself, too! Lano also makes a healing, flavored colorless lip balm for $6.99 each or 3 for $19.99 in flavors like Strawberry and Dreamsicle (also great for stocking stuffers!).

You’re sure to find something your tween (or teen!) will love.

25 Random Things About Me

Elizabeth — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:10:07 +0000

When people play the 25 Random Things About Me game, they discover new details about their family and friends….and some things may surprise them! During game play, players try to match fun facts (or “random things”) on the game cards with their opponents by guessing “yes” or “no” to the cards read aloud. Make a match and then add a new, totally random thing about yourself to your list on the provided notepad. The first person to complete a list of 25 random things about themselves wins, but everyone is richer for the experience. At the end of the game, players are encouraged to share their created lists, further getting to know interesting tidbits about one another. Suggested Retail Price: Ages: 13+; Players: 2-6; $16.95

Kooky Klickers Big Hit With Tweens And Teens

Elizabeth — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:32:58 +0000

Kooky Klickers are a novelty pen with a face and “hair”, and kids of all ages love to collect them! Each Klicker is part of a group of four called a “Krew”, and can be purchased individually or in a set with a special stand for display. Kooky Klickers retail for $3.49 each or for $14.99 for a set. Some of the sets I think tweens and teens would love are the Spongebob set shown here, the Star Wars set, Major League Baseball or National Hockey League set, and for the holidays, any of the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Kookys. The Kooky Store also carries lanyards, single and multi-pen carrying cases, and lots more. I recommend these as stocking stuffers or gifts for any age!

Welcome to the Holiday Gift Guide for Tweens and Teens!

Welcome to the MomReviews Holiday Gift Guide for Tweens and Teens! On November 2nd, I’ll be publishing a list of links to help guide your shopping whether online or in stores. If you’ve got someone age 10 and up on your gift list, you’ll love the suggestions I’ll have for you! Each product listed here has been evaluated by me, my son Nathan (the tween) and my son Ryan (the teen). If they say it’s something they would want for Christmas, it makes it onto this site!

There are lots of blogs doing a Gift Guide, but mine is unique because it will focus just on gifts for tweens and teens! What is a “tween”? It’s a term used to describe someone who is in between being a child and a teen, generally 10 to 12 years old.

I got the idea while talking to my oldest son who just turned 13, about what he might want for Christmas. All he could think of was video games and music downloads. My middle child is my son who will turn 11 on December 21st, and he has lost interest in most toys (with the exception of Legos). So, I thought, what the heck DO tweens and teens want for Christmas? What gifts are out there that I don’t know about?

So the idea was hatched, make this year’s Holiday Gift Guide an exclusive Tweens and Teens issue. I put out a call to PR firms and site owners to email me links to their products, and the replies are pouring in! Please submit yours to me at elizabethreviews@gmail.com. There is NO CHARGE to list your URL, if you would like an individual review of your product, please email me about sending me a product to review.

The first list of links will be published November 2nd and another list of links will be posted December 7th. In addition, products will be reviewed in individual posts. This site will be updated January 4th, 2010. I hope this Gift Guide helps you find some terrific holiday gifts!
