#HallmarkPressPause Christmas Collection ~ #Review #2014ChristmasGiftGuide #NorthPole1820

According to my calendar there is 24 more days until Christmas.  Hallmark is always on my place to visit when I shop for Christmas.  They one of the best places to have the best selection of cards, gift wrapping paper, and ornaments.  Their ornaments are a keepsake, and could be passed down to generations over the years.  My mother in law had purchased a few ornaments in the past and now they are passed down to me.

This year, Hallmark is helping us spread the magic with the exclusive line, NorthPole.  The products comes all the way from the enchanted city and help bring the holiday spirit to your own home.  Hallmark and they always have something you want or need.

North Pole Communicator ($29.95 with any purchase, MSRP $39.95)
If your little one wants to talk to Santa this is the thing to get.  Even I am excited to play with it.  Each day starting December 1st to Christmas, my kids could talk to a friend in the North Pole.  This would be so much fun and to spread a little Christmas joy in our household.  My kids can't wait for December 1st to get the party started.

NorthPole Dance Like an Elf (MSRP $19.95)
If you want something fun, loud, and help to start the kids to dance, this dance machine will help the kiddies get the mojo going.  They will bust a move and dance like "Stir the Hot Chocolate", "Build a Snowman", and "Ski Down the Mountain".

Northpole Cozy Nesting Bowls (MSRP $9.95)
This would be the perfect hostess gift.  When I am hosting a party, I am always trying to find enough small bowls to hold snacks before the main course.  These bowls are the perfect size for candies, nuts, and dips that guest would use.

Rooftop Drop Game (MSRP $9.95)
You will need this if you are hosting a kiddie Christmas Party or a just a family Christmas get together.  This will keep the kids (and adults) entertained for hours.  Each person gets to toss 3 beanbags present into the chimney to test their aim.  Remember to play this where there is no breakable items are nearby.

Find Me, Santa! Snowflake Christmas Decoration with light (MRSP $9.95)
You can hang this anywhere (door, window, tree) to make sure that Santa can find you.  It lights up for 4 hours and the LED lights changes colours to signal Santa where you are.

Baking plays a large part in our house.  I am usually baking up a storm this time of the year.  Baking comes easy to me and sometimes I even eyeball it and don't need a measuring spoon.  I went to baking class back in high school to learn the basics and it was one of the most valuable lessons I am glad I signed up for.  Now my family is reaping the rewards.

Hallmark has some fun and useful baking tools that you and your family could use to bake over the holidays.  They can be also a great gift idea to give to another mom who loves baking.  I have a very talented girlfriend that she not only bakes for her kids but even her dogs too!
