Hammacher Schlemmer offers so many different gift idea options that everyone on your shopping list will be covered. I love that they have gift options for many different price points. I love that they are options for the home, electronics, toys, outdoors and even spa items.

Chelsea and I really loved the item we were able to share about last year that we felt we needed to mention about it again this year. We really feel that this a great gift idea for people that like to travel. It definitely keeps my daughter busy when we are going on long trips. I think the best gifts for the family are ones that can be used year round. We tend to travel several times throughout the year. Chelsea always seems to needs something to keep her entertained when our travel distance is more than an hour long. This tablet  DVD player has been extremely useful for our family trips.

We love to travel and sometimes the best way to keep Chelsea busy is to allow her to watch a movie while we are traveling for long distances. This tablet is just perfect for that. I love that the picture is very clear and the speakers work great. It comes with a car charger, head phones and the home charger. On the back of the tablet there is even a little stand that you can use if it is being watched on a table or counter.

Growing up I really enjoyed toys that had many learning aspects. When I was little the original Teddy Ruxpin had just come out. I loved that we were able to put many different tapes in his tape player and he would read books to me. This year Teddy Ruxpin has been re-released in a new format. He has LCD eyes and is am to work with Tablet Devices. Children are able to select which book they would like to hear from Teddy Ruxpin. We really love this toy. I know that this toy will definitely be a good buy and will be cherished for years. Since I still have my Teddy Ruxpin from when I was little I know that he is a great toy. giftto
