Sarah Elizabeth Plans a Tea Party

Woo Hoo!!! My book is here, my book is here!  It is as “SWEET” as a cherry chip cupcake. It’s all about me planning a princess tea party for my bestest friend Lexi.  She is really, really sad and I want to make her glad. OH MY GOODNESS, I know one thing I can do!  I’ll draw a happy face on balloon and write “Lexi is my bestest friend forever,” and then tape it to the back of her chair.  This will make her smile really BIG! Mommy says that using etiquette and manners is like giving a gift to a friend. My friends are already asking if they can get my book as a gift for a birthday, special occasion, thank you, just a minute I have to take a breath, okay; tea party, holiday or just to cheer someone up.    I just know you will love my book, “Sarah Elizabeth Plans a Tea Party.” Yippee, I can’t wait for you to meet my friends and me!

Uncommon Goods is one of our favorite online stores.  The items they sell truly are unique and interesting and there’s something for everyone in the family.  While we tend to gravate to the garden items which include bird houses and feeders, but they also carry lots of fun gifts for kids.

Super Magnet Putty

We love the Magnetic Putty and think it’s a fabulous gift for kids (or adults) interested in science.  It’s a moldable putty that’s impregnated with iron-based particles so it not only holds its shape, but when it’s placed near a Neodymium Iron Boron magnet (included) it takes on the properties of the magnet.  Leave the two near each other for 10 minutes and the putty will eat the magnet.  Cool, huh!  This is recommended for kids 14+.

Happy Napper® calls this sweet pup The Perfect Play Pillow® and we agree that he’s pretty cute.  The pillow turned plush comes in several different characters and habitats.  Kids can ring their doorbell to hear their pet snoring and when they’re ready, unzip the front door, pull the plush out and flip it inside out to become a 21″ pal to share the day with.  When it’s time for bed, give the pet a kiss goodnight and tuck them back into their home.

We love the idea of having a daytime and nighttime friend and a pillow that doubles as a playtoy and the price is right – under $15 and discounts are available.  We’re giving away the pup in his doghouse, but there are others to choose from if a pup is not the right friend for your child.  You can purchase a  monkey in his hut, a dragon tucked away in his castle, a sweet pink Ladybug in her home-sweet-home bungalow pink house, a penguin in her igloo, and a palace for a sweet pink princes unicorn.
