I am a big fan of
Coffee Mate flavored creamers. I can't drink a cup of coffee without it, and between my husband and I, we go through about at least six bottles of it a week. Most of you are probably familiar with them as well, and maybe you've even tried their classic flavors like vanilla, amaretto and hazelnut. They are a great way to bring that coffee house flavor into your home. But have your tried their limited edition holiday flavors? If you haven't, you are missing out on something spectacular.
I tried out most of the holiday flavors and they are a wonderful way to put you in the holiday spirit. The amazing flavor options include Caramel Apple, Sugar and Spice, Pumpkin Spice, Eggnog, Peppermint Mocha and Gingerbread. I personally loved every single one of them and stocked up by buying about five of each. They are limited edition so they won't be around long, and I want to make sure I get to enjoy them as long as possible.
But wait, there's more to
Coffee Mate then just great coffee. Did you realize there are tons of recipes that can be taken to a whole new level just by adding a little Coffee Mate Flavored Creamer? There are dozens of tasty recipes available on their website. One of my favorite examples is the Eggnog Tiramisu. Check out the recipe below and see why it makes my mouth water.

For my review, I chose the Nightmare Earrings. They are made from two of my favorite stones, onyx and opal. These earrings in particular are designed to help keep away nightmares and negative thoughts. And in the world we live in, we can all use a little help staying more positive. Onyx has a protective energy that keeps you grounded and protected. Opal encourages creativity and imagination which is perfect for me as a writer. The opal stones come in shades of green and brown which are my favorite wardrobe colors. So they are a wonderful way to stay stylish and harness the powers of nature all in one convenient package.
Nothing tells a person you care like a personalized gift. When you take the time to make the gift a one of a kind, the receiver knows you were really thinking about them. It is especially nice to receive personalized items for babies. They will be a keepsake for all their lives. At My Embroidered Gifts, you can find hundreds of adorable baby gifts, most of which can be embroidered with names, dates, or whatever else you might want added.
For our review, we received the Kiana First Baby Doll from Baby Gund. Of course, anything that comes from Gund is going to be top quality. This little doll is perfect for babies. The eyes are embroidered so there are no small pieces that can be a choking hazard. She is extra soft and with adorable yarn hair. Willow loves playing with her and hugging her, and she has been sleeping along side her in her crib every night since she arrived. We choose Kiana because she had brown hair like Willow, but there are several dolls in the Baby Gund collection so you can choose the perfect one for your little girl.
The holidays might be over, but there are plenty of other occasions that My Embroidered Gifts can help you celebrate. If you're looking for a baby shower gift or special birthday present than My Embroidered Gifts is a great place to look. They have lots of wonderful baby toys and gifts that can be personalized. And their stock doesn't end with baby blankets and toys. They also have a large selection of wedding gifts, presents for parents and grandparents, as well as special items for every holiday. For the best deals, check out their sale items.
For our review, we received the adorable Three Ring Monkey Stacker. This little guy is perfect for baby's who are starting to learn coordination. The large hoops are soft but big and easy to pull on off the plush stacker. They are easy to grip and baby's will love to chew on them. Like all their toys, the monkey is made from certified organic and natural cotton and even the dyes used in them are free of toxins. Willow loved taking playing with the stacker and since there are no small pieces, we can even play with it in her playpen while I'm straightening up.
