I will try to put my amazon affiliate link for products that were purchased or found on amazon, you can click the pictures to find them on amazon when available.
I got my husband a Nintendo Switch, but to be honest, I've been playing it like crazy. We used the trade in program at GameStop to get our Switch. We traded in our Nintendo Wii, remotes, games, etc.
I really enjoy the game Stardew Valley, where you are on a farm and have to work to build up your farm and complete challenges. This is also available for Xbox and Playstation 4. The creator of the game is always working on new game content and has almost completed some adjustments to make it multiplayer. (I follow the creator, Concerned Ape on Twitter). I love that with the Switch I can play with it connected to the TV, but if someone needs to use the TV you can then take it off the stand and play on the smaller screen that is on the Switch itself. It basically combines all the joys of a bigger gaming device like the Wii or Xbox with the convenience of a DS. You can play in the bed, in the car, outside, etc. The multiplayer use is also fun. My husband and I have enjoyed playing Portal Knights together in the multiplayer mode and Mario Kart. I'm super excited to see that lots of games are schedule to come out in 2018 including Toe Jam and Earl!
So, I know many of you probably bought a Switch for you child. I am going to suggest that you take some time to play a game on it, you may actually like it!
If you do have a Switch or your child does, I highly recommend getting a screen protector.
I am loving my warm comfy Columbia jacket. Amazon has lots of colors. My husband bought me the the Nocturnal color. Nocturnal is in between purple, gray, and navy blue.
During Black Friday I was able to grab up the JBL 3. I like have a speaker that my Alexa dot can hook up to automatically (after you've done it once, she remembers and does it each time). I have an older version at work the JBL 2+ and honestly, I haven't noticed much of a difference between the two. So, if you find an older version on sale, I think you would be fine and enjoy it just the same.
I use mine to listen to music while cleaning or listen to an audio book.
The one thing I do like about my new one is that I bought the teal version. :)
My sister got the Alexa dot for me last Christmas. I use my Alexa dot to tell me about the weather, set timers while cooking and play music. Do you have one? What do you use it for?
I already have a Fit Bit Blaze, but I went ahead and bought my husband one for Christmas. He is one of those people that if they already have a watch even if it is 5 years old and barely fits, feel that they don't need a new one if the old one works.
I like that I was able to use the app to set alarms for my watch to vibrate at specific times each day. I have it vibrate about 3 minutes before my classes are picked up by their teachers. This gives me time to have them stand, push chairs in, get the library books and line up.
I also like that it counts by steps, etc. and I appreciate that it alerts me when I have phone calls and text messages. I will warn you that the Fit Bit Blaze does not allow you to text back or answer phone calls like the apple watch does. I don't have a problem with using my phone to respond to messages or phone calls, but if that's something you want to be able to do then you'll need to go with the apple watch.
If you have one, I suggest that you get the screen protector.
I have completely converted from the rubber band type hairbands to elastic hair ties.
I ordered myself some basic black ones for the new year and I was not disappointed.
They do not damage or snag your hair while you are wearing them.
We decided to get an amazon fire stick for the TV in the bedroom. I love it! It is so easy to use to get to Netflix and Amazon Prime! Love it!
I recently enjoyed watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime. It won Best Comedy TV Series and Best Actress in Comedy TV Series at the Global Globes.
I was pleased with the Netflix Original movie Bright with Will Smith.
I bought myself this purse for Christmas after seeing my sister's in blue. I bought the gray. I like how it folds over on the top.
This was a great purchase. I needed a new lunch box and it's hard to tell the size of the lunch box when you purchase online, but this one did not disappoint. I can put a water bottle as well as pyrex lunch containers and sting cheese all in this lunch box without issue. There are many colors and designs for the lunch box.
I received and enjoyed both of the following books. I always enjoy a good fantasy.
My husband and I enjoy playing board games during our Christmas Break. Our new favorite game is Bears vs. Babies. This game is by the same creator as Exploding Kittens.
My sister gave me a wonderful sleep mask. You can heat it up or put it in the freezer to cool it off before wearing it. I prefer the cooled version, but you may like it warm. When I wear my sleep mask I feel that I am truly pampering myself. This was a terrific gift. Something you may not buy for yourself, but is something that you will use and enjoy.
What are some of your thoughts on your Christmas gifts?
