Holiday Gift Guide - Kaleidoscopes To You Review & Giveaway



I have always been one of those people who believes in magic and finds it in the smallest things. When I was a little girl, I had a little plastic kaleidoscope that I got in an arcade. It wasn't a very good one, but to me it was like a magic wand. Looking through it was like being transported to another world. I think most children would feel that way, and every child should have at least one kaleidoscope in their life. A great place to find beautiful and unique kaleidoscopes this holiday season is Kaleidoscopes to You.



For our review, we received the Long Laminated Wooden Teleidoscope. Its a little different than the traditional kaleidoscope because when you look through it, whatever you are looking out it now shown in abstract. Whether the kids are making faces at each other or you are looking out at the beauty of  the ocean, the scene will always be new and different.  Its amazing how something so small can provide so many hours of entertainment! The kaleidoscope itself is made from beautiful laminated wood and comes with a matching base. In addition to being fun for both children and adults, it also makes a attractive knick knack. My husband actually has it sitting out on his desk.



In addition to the wooden kaleidoscopes, Kaleidoscopes To You also offers brass, glass, handmade, custom and toy kaleidoscopes.  They even have beautiful kaleidoscope jewelry. Each piece is a lovely collectors item, and many of them can even be engraved. With the holidays on the horizon, a personalized kaleidoscope would make the perfect gift for a child with a vivid imagination or the adult who has everything.






In honor of the holiday season, one lucky winner is going to receive the same wooden kaleidoscope that I received to review.
