Hello Kitty StoryGIF Advent Calendar

Hello Kitty

Hello Kitty is putting a new digital spin on the Advent Calendar with the Hello Kitty StoryGIF Advent Calendar by Zoobe Messenger Entertainment. This special countdown to Christmas runs from December 1st to 25th. Hello Kitty fans can unlock an adorable free GIF each day they come back. (Or purchase all 25 at once.)  The app will be available in apps stores on November 30, 2016 - on iOS $.99 and Android $.79.  

The Advent Calendar is a Christmas tradition that has been around since the early 1900’s that acts as a special countdown the big day with 24-25 doors or windows with chocolate or other special little surprises when opened each day leading up to Christmas.  The Hello Kitty Advent Calendar is a digital experience that gives fans the same effect via their mobile phones with a new cute image to collect each day to express themselves, spread the holiday cheer and message to friends. Super cute. Super easy to use.

The GIF app is pretty cool. I have it on my android phone. You can pick a few GIF's and put them together. Then you can send it to a friend. I tried one and sent it to my hubby via messenger. I think this could get pretty addicting. I'm a huge fan of Hello Kitty and anything Sanrio. Cute things are often called "Kawaii" in Japan.  I showed my 4 year old this fun app and she thought it was great. She loves Hello Kitty too!

Gift Wrapping with Current Catalog

Current Catalog

The holiday season is here. Many of you have probably started shopping already. You will soon need to wrap all those wonderful gifts you bought. Current Catalog has all your wrapping needs. They carry everything from wrapping paper to tags and bows. When I was a kid, my mom would wrap the presents nicely with pretty paper and bows. I'm not as organized and my little ones don't appreciate it. They just want what is inside. I think now my daughter is a little older she will think the bows and tags are cute.

The wrapping paper is nice and solid. I don't like when paper rips while you are wrapping. These tags are adorable. The candy cane ribbons are super cute. You can make any package look like a pro wrapped it. 

Gift tags

I love these chalkboard gift tags. They are great to put on gifts and even table settings. You could even use them as decoration for a tree. 

Current Catalog has home decor and Christmas Tree ornaments. They have gift items and stationary. You can even buy your holiday cards here too. The prices are affordable which is important during the holidays. 

What kind of wrapper are you? Do you go all out or are you a minimalist?

Do you have time to go to the stores for your holiday shopping? Make your life a little easier and shop on Amazon.

Here are Amazon's top toy picks. There are a lot of fun items to get for the kids this year. Shop Amazon's Holiday Toy List - Top 100




My daughter is addicted to shopkins. She has over 100 different Shopkins and dolls. My mom asks her if she has too many and she will answer "no". Check out the new Chef's Club line. These toys are little so you may be stepping on them sometime in the near future. I often find them in the couch and scattered in the living room.





Skylanders Imaginators is out now and my son loves it. I think he already finished the game. You can create your own Skylander which is a really cool feature. Amazon is having a sale and it is a lot cheaper than I payed in October.






Fisher Price Imaginext has a lot of cool toys. My kids have a few Imaginext toys and love them. We have a different pirate ship, from a few years back.  This one looks great. I know two of my kids would be fighting over this one.

The list goes on and on. It's easy to get most of your shopping done with a click of a mouse.

What is on your shopping list this year?
