Finally – A Baby Product Guide That’s All About You…

When shopping for baby gear, do you feel like your drowning in a sea of choices? I know I sure did – as a first time mom, it was overwhelming, for sure. I wish that back then, I’d know about this amazingly cool site I came across today… It’s called Lela.com. “Lela is a new way to shop that’s all about you. We take the time to get to know you—your lifestyle, taste, and values—and use that info to guide you to the things you’ll love. The product recommendations we give are completely unique to you.” Sounds cool, right? And lemme tell ya – It works. Really good.

How to find the best baby gear for YOU

No Clutter, No Ads – Just stuff chosen with you in mind

At first, I thought this would be another of those spammy, “Take a quiz, and we’ll try to sell you a bunch of junk you don’t need – or maybe even get you to sign up for a monthly subscription you don’t want and will be tough to cancel, whoo hoo!” type of site. Yes, I’m a bit cynical, after reviewing countless sites over the past couple of years. But – this is legit. No spammy. You take a little questionnaire that’s actually fun – {what’s your dream vehicle? I chose the broom with a sweet stuffed couch cushion thing strapped on, lol.} Then it shares products it knows you’ll love. For me – it was crazy-accurate. Lots of funky, unique type stuff. The kind of stuff I always look for and can’t find. Awesomesauce.

Price comparison that's cool

Price Comparison that really rocks

The thing that impressed me the most was when I went to check out a few items. It brings you to a page with all the prices for the item, from all of the major sites. How cool is that? You can click to buy directly from those sites – and it even shares coupon codes to other awesome stuff you can score at each of those sites.

Choose where you buy

No need to visit hundreds of sites—on Lela, you can buy online from your favorite retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Diapers.com, J&R, giggle, Barnes & Noble, BestBuy, Macmall, Macy’s, Magic Beans, Newegg, and more. If you’d rather shop in your neighborhood, Lela Local hooks you up with the nearby retailers that have what you’re looking for.

Best Gadget Gifts for Chicks: Foodie, Photographer, or Girly-Girl

“Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus lane…” – Wait a minute, that’s not Santa! It’s ME – here to help you finish up your holiday shopping, since you can’t rely on Santa to bring it all. And because I’m all about helping you simplify life, especially during this crazy-busy holiday season, I’m going to give you four posts over the next week, sharing some of the coolest gift ideas you can find, and all available at Best Buy – so you can do one stop shopping. Awesomesauce, right? Today I’ve rounded up some of the hottest gifts this year for women. I’ll also be finding and sharing the best gift ideas for guys, for kids, and those tough to shop for teens too. So stay tuned! But first, for the ladies….

Must have gifts for foodies

Gadgety Gifts for Foodies

If you have someone on your list this year who’s a total ninja of the kitchen, they will definitely appreciate some super sweet new gadgets. The total grandaddy of cool kitchen gear is of course the KitchenAid – Artisan Series Stand Mixer – Empire Red. {Ok, red is my personal favorite. But there’s also crazy-cool colors like Raspberry Ice or sleek Onyx Black too.} If you know a foodie that doesn’t have one of these yet – there is just no way you’ll go wrong with this! Another idea is the Belkin – Chef Tablet Stand and Stylus. This helps your tech-savvy kitchen guru keep their tablet handy in the kitchen for following their favorite recipes – while keeping it clean and away from messy hands with the clever stylus tool. {Hint: This is on my list too, if anyone’s shopping for me…} And, if you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon yet – ohmyheck, you have got to try out the Capital Brands – Magic Bullet – Black. My friends laughed when I bought this – back when it was only a “Seen on TV” type thing. But they stopped laughing when they saw how rad it was – and I have bought it as a gift SO many times! It makes amazing smoothies for breakfast, and rockin’ margaritas during girls night. When I’m baking it can chop, blend, mix, and more. I use this almost daily and totally recommend it as a gift for any foodie on your list.

Best gifts for photographers

Best Tech Gifts for Photographers

If you have a photo junkie to shop for – these are my top 3 suggestions for totally awesome gifts. Every mom loves family photos – and what cooler way to display them then a digital frame? The HP – 10″ Widescreen LCD Digital Photo Frame – Espresso Brown is a seriously gorgeous choice. And what about a new camera? I’ve been using the
Nikon – Coolpix S800c 160-Megapixel Digital Camera – White
 and am in looooove. It takes seriously impressive photos for a point-and-shoot camera – and combines that with Wi-Fi and an Android operating system. That means you can snap pics, edit them, and share them faster than ever! And speaking of Wi-Fi… Have you heard of the Eye-Fi? This is a totally cool little addition to your camera that automagically sends photos directly from your camera to your computer, easy peasy. Such a time saver for peeps who take a ton of pics! {And, if you or someone you’re shopping for loves taking pics from their phone – Get the Latest Accessories for the iPhone 5, Plus Free Shipping..}

Best Best-Buy gifts for girly girls

Best tech gifts for Girly Girls

Think you can’t shop for those super girly girls on your list at Best Buy? Then think again! As a Best Buy Brand Ambassador for the past few months, I have totally been blown away by how many unexpected things they carry – things I never would have thought to shop there for. Things like the CHI Air – Expert Classic Tourmaline Ceramic 1″ Flat Iron – Pure Pink. But, I absolutely LOVE how smart and helpful the staff is at Best Buy – and the way that they stand behind their products if you ever have any problems. {Unlike most big box stores.} So it’s so worth doing all of your shopping there! {Did you know you can even curl your hair with a flat iron?} Another sweet option – how about a girly version of my all-time fave earbuds, the
Klipsch – Image S3 Earbud Headphones – Perfect Pink
? Or a super helpful set of gear for anyone with an iPad – the Hello Kitty – Portfolio Case and Bluetooth Keyboard for Apple iPad and iPad 2 – Pink. Full of awesome.

Princess Kate is Pregnant – But this Redhead is the Real Story…

“Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus lane…” – Wait a minute, that’s not Santa – that’s Molly, the Christmas Elf Magic Elf! Unlike some of those other new trendy elves trying to get attention these days, Molly and the other Elf Magic crew are the originals in charge of spreading holiday magic since 1956. And while the whole “Kate Middleton is pregnant” news is spreading through the talk news shows like crazy, I’m here to introduce you to a redhead with a more season-appropriate newsworthiness…

Honestly – Learn Why these Diapers are Worth my Dollars…

“Pretty much all the honest truth telling in the world is done by children.” – Oliver Wendell… Ah…. Motherhood. Kids are such a blessing – and SUCH a challenge at the same time, right? And this quote is so true – kids do fib, of course. But most of the time, they are honest to a fault. You can learn a lot listening to their thoughts, questions, and observations. So when you hear that there’s a new diaper brand called The Honest Co., what do you think? For me – I hoped to find a simplified way to buy affordable, eco-friendly, good quality diapers that worked well. {Meaning no leaks or nonsense, you know?} Is that what I found with The Honest Co.? Find out…

What Matters Most When Diaper Shopping…

“No one likes change but babies in diapers.” – Barbara Johnson… Are you still in the diaper stage? Then you know how darn difficult it can be during those years. Not just the crazy mishaps of changing one of those messy masterpieces – but also, trying to figure out which brand, style, fit, size, version is the right one to keep your little one dry, and finding it at a great price. Oh yeah – and throw in some concern for the environment too, and you’ve got yourself a serious set of decision making that most overwhelmed and over-tired new moms can’t handle….

Storknest helps new moms get affordable ecofriendly diapers

How does Stork Nest help new moms save on diapers?

First of all – let me tell you how I first met the peeps from Stork Nest. I was introducted to them by another blogger in one of my networks. At the time, I didn’t know the name Stork Nest – I just knew them as a great group who was super interested in learning more about what moms value when shopping for diapers. They wanted to know what type of packaging was most appealing, what features and benefits actually mattered – and what silly marketing tricks felt like needless gimmicks, so that they could avoid them. I really felt like the questions were insightful and smart, and that they were building a smart company. So when I learned more about what they were doing, I was SUPER excited to help support their new site!

Who is Stork Nest?

Starting January 1st, Stork Nest will launch to the public – featuring unique diaper, training, and youth pant brands at the best prices you’ll find around. They’ll have the highest quality, some awesome eco-friendly options, and since they cut out the middle-man by producing their own diapers – you will seriously get the best value. Their EcoBundles Diapers will feature the same amazing softness and absorbency that you rely on in a diaper – while being more ecofriendly and budget-friendly for busy moms. Sounds awesome, right?

Let’s Party! Celebrate the launch of their new diaper site!

Do you have an amazingly adorable baby? {Of course you do!} Then join the celebration with Stork Nest – enter your little cutie in their Facebook photo contest. When Stork Nest launches on January 1st, 2013, they’ll announce which two of America’s Cutest Babies will win a year’s worth of free diapers, a photo shoot, and get to be featured on the new EcoBundles Diaper packaging. As an added bonus, the parents get to keep the professional pictures of their baby! Priceless, right? And everyone who enters their baby into the EcoBundles Cutest Baby Photo Contest will receive a Buy One Get One Free coupon to use on StorkNest.com once they officially launch in early 2013! Sweet bonus.

Party with us too!

I mean, what type of celebration doesn’t have an awesome party to join? The Stork Nest Twitter Party is coming up on December 4th, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET. You can RSVP to be eligible for crazy-awesome prizes here: Stork Nest Twitter Party. There will be loads of cool stuff to win, other amazing moms to chat with, and great tips and advice to be shared. I hope to see you there!
