Have you guys heard about Thirty One Gifts?  I first heard about them in the fall when I was invited to my first party.  A direct-sales company, this is one of those companies where you go to a private party to buy their products.  I was unable to attend but they seem to be everywhere these days and I’ve been coveting several of their bags!

They have everything from small purses to big totes to organizing products that are super cute!

Special: I wanted to note too, they are having an awesome special for the month of January.  Two of the Thirty-One Gifts thermal lunch totes are on sale until end of day January 31st for $10 and $15 respectively!  How awesome is that.

If you are a planner, buy ahead and get these for an end of year teacher gift!  You can even have them personalized for another $7 so for $17 you have an adorable and affordable teacher gift.  What’s not to love about that.

I wasn’t sure what to expect for $50 but believe it or not, I had no problem making a nice dinner for the fam on that cost.

With 4 people in our family, I didn’t need a ton – here’s what I got:  I got a fully cooked turkey breast like this one (but got turkey breast only) for $19.98.  Can I tell you guys, this was DELICIOUS.  And huge.  It lasted for 3 days – 2 meals plus I sliced it up for sandwiches for my son for school for two days after. Not bad for $20.

Then I got potatoes and broccoli for another $20.  So I was well under $50 and ended up getting some extra fruit and other produce to get myself to $50.  Awesome, right?  I will definitely be shopping for meals again at Sam’s Club for the rest of the holiday season and beyond in 2012.

Giveaway: Sam’s Club has also offered a generous giveaway to Mommies with Style readers for the holiday season!   One lucky winner will receive this KitchenAid Professional HD Stand Mixer that’s pictured to the left ($268.98 value!)

Enter to win by commenting below about Sam’s Club (do you have one near you?  Do you belong?  Your answer doesn’t have anything to do with eligibility to win – just comment anything to enter to win – just making conversation!)

Giveaway #3 is here! This time it’s LeapFrog’s new My Own Story Time Pad – an easy-to-use tablet for little LeapFroggers. Perfect for kids 2+ years (though fun for younger kids too), the Story Time Pad is a lightweight tablet that includes stories, songs and activities that can be personalized for your child! Scout, Violet and the other LeapFrog friends educate and entertain as your child learns about letters, phonics, storytelling, music and more.

One of the coolest features of the My Own Story Tim Pad is the ability to personalize a number of the activities. Using LeapFrog’s Connect Application, you can have Scout or Violet say your child’s name, customize parts of stories and songs, and create pretend emails and messages from friends or family members. Toddlers will get a kick out of hearing Scout call them by name, mention their friends and talk about their favorite places.

My Own Story Time Pad comes pre-loaded with 1 story, 1 email, and 3 songs, but by connecting to the LeapFrog Connect Application you can download additional stories and songs (up to 5 stories, 10 songs and 3 emails at a time).

Some of my favorite feature:

- No tablet envy. I love that the tablet looks and feels similar to LeapFrog’s LeapPad tablet and other adult tablets but is geared for younger learners. No more arguing over who gets to use the tablet! With the My Own Story Time Pad, my 3 year old can have a tablet geared just for him.

- No wrong buttons. Whenever I give my kids my phone to play a game, I inevitably find stuff rearrange, reprogrammed or downright missing. One of the great things about the Story Time Pad is that there are no wrong buttons! Kids can press buttons is any order, at any time and the tablet will not delete content, harm the activities or self-destruct. Plus any button they push will likely make a sound, start a new activity or provide some kind of giggle-inducing feedback.

- Durable. LeapFrog makes stuff for kids. Kids that drop stuff. So they’ve made the My Story Time Pad out of durable plastic that can handle the bangs and bumps of life.

- Lightweight. The tablet weighs in at just over 1 lb. and is easy for a child to hold in the car or fit on his lap.

- Multiple volume settings. The Story Time Pad features two volume settings which is nice, but unfortunately no headphone jack which I wish it had.

Visit Leapfrog.com to learn more and purchase a My Own Story Time Pad – available in white or purple for $29.99 (Be sure to sign up for LeapFrog’s emails to hear about great holiday deals and sales too.)

** GIVEAWAY ** Win a My Story Time Pad of your very own! To enter, leave a comment below telling us what tech gadget is on your holiday wishlist. (And be sure to check out Whitney and the other Gift Guide Girls‘ post on innovative, adorable and drool-worthy tech gifts here!) You can earn additional entries by doing any of the following – be sure leave us separate comments to tell us you did! 1) Like LeapFrog or Mommies With Style on Facebook, 2) Follow LeapFrog or MWS on Twitter, 3) Follow me on Twitter, or 4) Tweet about the giveaway with the hashtag #MWSgiveaway. Entries must be received by Monday, December 5th 11:59pm, PST. One winner will be picked via random.org and notified via email. Sorry, no P.O. boxes. US residents only.

MWS was not paid for this review. LeapFrog provided a sample of the product for review.

Today’s giveaway is a fabulous one.  I am thrilled to have discovered DaySpring thanks to this 12 Days of Giveaways campaign.  I had never heard of them before but absolutely adore the products they sent over and I can’t wait to shop there again.<

Here’s what I received – all of the items I got were from the Ever Grateful line.  Beautiful, right? I’m already using the cake pedestal as a centerpiece on my kitchen table and I can’t wait to use the platter during the upcoming holiday season.

Ever Grateful 12″ x 17″ Large Platter – $34.99

Ever Grateful 10″ Large Pitcher – $28.99

Ever Grateful 6″ Bowls- $10.99 each

Ever Grateful 12″ Cake Pedestal – $35.99

Butterflies Dolls are a line of 8 dolls that are made exclusively for the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. They each have their own personality and name! The Butterflies are powered by your child’s imagination rather than batteries which helps them think more creatively. Each doll comes with her own outfit and you can purchase more clothes separately. Their hair already comes in the doll’s favorite hairstyle, so if your child likes to do her doll’s hair, this doll may not be the best for that. However, you can take all of their hair accessories out and put them in differently.

To help these dolls feel even more life-like, you can buy extra accessories and furniture. We receive the utensil set, the doll chef hat & apron, Butterflies plush cupcake and a Butterflies tote. These accessories are fun because they help make your child’s Butterflies doll seem even more realistic. She can cook with your child, dress up with your child – and do anything she can imagine!

If you’re looking for a present under $20 for Christmas, you have to check out Cracker Barrel’s Great Gifts (they even offer free gift wrap). Cracker Barrel sent us some classic great gifts that we love. The wood train set, the wood works airplane, and a sock monkey hat. Once again, everything doesn’t have to be powered by batteries! The classic wood train set comes with a track, train cars and other accessories. The train cars attach by magnets on either end which make them fun to move around!

If your little girls have fallen in love with the Butterflies Dolls, now is their time to meet them! The Butterflies Dolls will be at Cracker Barrel November 11-13 to take pictures with friends and family. If you buy a new Butterflies Doll while you’re there, you’ll receive a free Butterflies coloring book. Stick around and enter the “Great Gifts” Gift Baskets Sweepstakes where you could win a gift card or toys for girls and boys! They’ll even have holiday goodies to sample while you’re enjoying everything else at the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.

Note:  I’m a part of a fun holiday campaign for 12 days of giveaways!  Free stuff to Mommies with Style readers!  Every day for 12 days there will be one (or possibly 2) prizes for you to enter to win here on the site.  Missed a day?  Visit theMommies with Style Giveaways page to see what’s current for you to enter!

Folica.com is your one-stop shopping site for all of your haircare needs. They carry almost every product that you can think of to clean, condition, treat and style your hair.  They offer free shipping on orders over $50 and often run a promotion for anywhere from 10-20% off your entire order!

To introduce me to some of the high-end products available on Folica.com, I was given the following products to review:

Solia 1875W Thermal Ionic Hair Dryer: The Solia Thermal Ionic Dryer is an Italian engineered, 1875 Watt Professional Thermal Ionic Dryer designed to produce millions of negative ions that benefit the hair, making it shinier, smoother, and healthier.

Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-1/4″) plus free heat proof pouch: features the Dynamic Alignment System to ensure perfect contact between your hair and the plates. It supplies even heat distribution for true silky straight hair. Its ceramic/tourmaline ion technology will generate gentle far-infrared heat and extra negative ions to create the perfectly frizz-free hair without heat damage. Kiss bad hair days goodbye! Now available in classic black, pink, red and purple color editions.

So receiving these products was timely as my old hair dryer literally broke the week that I received the new one from Folica.  I will say this – this thing is incredibly powerful!  It has a couple of settings for air power and I have to set it on the medium as the highest setting is too much hot air!  I’ve definitely never had that problem and the only reason I can’t set it to blow the hardest is that my hair is so fine.  This hair dryer is amazing for people of any kind of hair – fine to really thick – I promise, this thing will knock your socks off!

To inspire you to try them yourself, Folica.com is offering an exclusive code to Mommies with Style readers: Save 30% off theSolia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-1/4″) plus free heat proof pouch and the Solia 1875W Thermal Ionic Hair Dryer when you use the code: SOLIASAVINGS at checkout. This code is only valid through 11/18/2011!

Giveaway:  I also have one of each product to giveaway to one lucky Mommies with Style winner!
