i received

  • Z Grip Daises rectractable ball point pen assorted 5 pack
  • Cadoozles .7mm mechanical pencil 10 pack
  • Regal Roller micro point roller ball pen assorted 4 pack
  • Regal Roller arrow point roller ball pen assorted 4 pack

****I really like roller pens, they work so much better than the little cheap pens I always buy. These pens are great for back to school they don’t run out of ink fast and are easy to grip. The mechanical pencils are great for grade school, and the design is so cute. My daughter was so thrilled to be able to use them. I really like the designs and the fact that it really doesn’t even look like a mechanical pencil. Never need to sharpen another pencil again.

Retail: $2.99-$5.00

Back to School with HP and Snapfish

- brandy3 1 Comment

People are shopping for back to school earlier this year. For me I usually wait until August when school supplies are really cheap, or tax free weekend. The hot items listed this year for back toh school are Digital cameras and Smart phones.

To me a big item would be a printer thst does it all. I want to be able to print from my laptop(which is usually not anywhere near my office), make creative projects, and also be kid friendly.

The HP Photosmart e-All-In-One, your kids be able to print out all of their homework assignments and photos for show and tell, but they can also access new print apps including Crayola for coloring pages, PBS Kids for literacy, math and science activities or Disney for fun and educational after-school activities including coloring pages, games and crafts. Starting at just $99, e-All-in-Ones are also equipped with ePrint, a unique simple email address assigned to the printer that allows the sender to deliver a print the same way they would send an email message.

Another great back to school must have is Snapfish. This would be great for the office or maybe someoone going to college. Personalize your own mousepad, notebook sleeve , or desktop organizer. 

I think this is a great way to personalize a gift for the going away to college, so they have a picture to look at everyday while they are working!

Mealtime will be so much fun with the new stylish mOmma line of feeding products for infanta and toddlers. mOmma’s ergonomic design features a distinctive roly-poly shape that allows the products to rock back and forth when uncovered, keeping kids entertained and eliminating spills at the same time.

  • non spill

  • cups stay upright to prevent spilling and keeping the area that touches your childs mouth away from germs.
  • BPA and phthalate free
  • Dishwasher safe

****These are so cute and fun. My son is a little old for the sippy cups but he still enjoyed them, and I didn’t have to worry about any mess. the plate really keeps the food warm and is surprising big, most toddler plates are tiny.  These are really great products, but I would say that they are more for infants then tots.

Retail:$8.25-22.00

My rating: 5
