DreamLoveAndBows On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received an adorable bow from a shop on Etsy by the name of DreamLoveAndBows

The bow that was sent to me to review is inspired by the one and only Ariel from The Little Mermaid, which is one of my all time favorites! I'm pretty obsessed with this bow to be quite honest with you lol. I love the colors she used to create this bow. They do an amazing job at making this bow look just like Ariel. The red for her hair, purple for her clam bra, and the green for her tail. Another reason I really like this bow is because the ribbon she used to create this bow, is almost like a satin material. As you can see in this picture the bow has a little bit of shine to it, which is just gorgeous! I love how in the center of the bow she included some glittery fabric, it really adds the perfect amount of bling to the bow. My favorite part however has got to be the fork in the center or should I say the Dinglehopper, and if you have no idea what the heck I am talking about well shame on you, go get educated and watch The Little Mermaid lol. Anyways, this bow is perfect. The fork she placed on this bow is really the perfect touch to this bow. She even went the extra mile and plced some gorgeous rhinestones to the end of the "Dinglerhopper".

This hair bow is attached to your basic hair clip. These are my favorite types of clips, they are super easy to use. These clips are even great for little girls, sense there so easy to put in and out of your hair. The hair clip is attached perfectly to the back of this bow, as you can see in this photo there are no loose strands of glue. She did a really neat and tidy job with this bow, and it really shows. This whole bow was assembled perfectly and really looks like something you would get out of the store, which is awesome!

Overal I'm super impressed with the quality of this bow, it feels really sturdy and durable like this going to last me quite a long time. I really love this bow and can't wait to wear it when I hit up Walt Disney World.

This bow would be a great gift for anyone who's a huge fan of Ariel *cough cough* like my self lol. She also makes a huge assortment of other bows that are inspired by other characters as well.

JewelsForHope On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

 

I received a gorgeous bracelet from a shop on Etsy by the name of Jewels For Hope!

 

 

The bracelet that this shop has sent me to review is absolutely gorgeous! I couldn't find the exact link to the same identical bracelet that they sent me, but I included the link for the closest one. The link below is for the same style, the only thing that is different is the color of the beads. The one I received has almost like a purple and green shine to it, as far as the one listed below it is just plain black. Either way both of these bracelets are gorgeous, and personally I would wear both of them.

Retails:($28.00)

 

 

As you can see from this picture it shines beautifully in the light. At first glance this bracelet just looks like it would be black, but when you take this into the sunshine you will see the true beauty. I love how the colors really pop. It shines with gorgeous shades of pink, purple, and green. I know its hard to see in this picture but it really is gorgeous in person. The actual cord itself is made out of leather which is pretty cool, that makes this pretty durable. I also like how this piece is pretty unisex as well.

 

My favorite thing about this bracelet is the closure on it. It is so simple! It's just a simple button, and button loop, which makes this really easy to put on and take off. I also have a hard time with putting bracelets on and off, but I know for a fact I wont have that problem with this one which is awesome. I love the simplicity of this bracelet. I'm the type of person who likes to stack bracelets on the daily, so this is going to be perfect for me. The color as well also makes this really easy to wear. This will go with pretty much any outfit, its simple but pretty which is pretty hard to find.

 

Overall I'm super impressed with the quality of this bracelet. I think this is going to be a bracelet I will have for a very long time. I will for sure be getting a lot of use out of it and that's for sure!

 

I think these pieces of jewelry would be a great gift for anyone really, they have a huge selection and they all are at great prices as well which is really nice :)

KateLaurenDesign On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Reveiw!

I received some planner stickers from a shop on Etsy by the name of KateLaurenDesign

The first sheet that she included is this set called "Hump Day" These are stickers that are little camels and on their back is written "Hump Day" these stickers are more for decoration ad to add a little pizazz to your planner which is such a cute idea. I think this will be perfect for that. On this sheet of stickers there are 24 stickers, which is a lot! So this page will last you a very long time.

Next up we have these hydrate stickers. The cool thing about these is that one sticker is good for the whole week. These are probably the coolest stickers I have seen and these are pretty helpful as well. These are used to track how much water you consume through the day, you simply check off one when you finish a water bottle. These will be so useful for me sense I am always slacking in that department lol.

Retails:($3.86)

Next we have the "Payday set" This set of stickers actually come with 3 different sticker designs which is pretty cool. The first set is little credit card stickers, these will be useful to place down when you have a credit card bill due, which is what I am always forgetting lol, there are 10 of these one. Next we have a sticker of a stack of cash, there are 12 of these ones. Then there are a set of piggy banks and there are 9 of these ones. Both of these can have a lot of use, you could use these to mark when you are getting paid, when a bill is due, or to remind you of when to go to the bank. I think these will be a great deal of help in my planner and I can't wait to use them.

The last little set she included I had no idea she would put these in, I would like to call these the little bonus item :) The first 4 stickers are a little label, these would be used for a lot of things, these aren't really specific for anything, but I'm sure you could find the perfect thing to use these for. Next there are 6 little envelopes, these will be perfect because I plan on using these once I open my P.O box at the beginning of the year, and this will be my little reminder on when I should be going to check my mail box. The last set is a set of 6, and these are adorable they are little washing machines, these will be perfect for slackers like me lol. I'm always slacking with my laundry and this is a good reminder that I should be doing it instead of procrastinating lol.

Overall I'm highly impressed with these stickers, these stickers are printed on paper so if needed you can write on them with ease and not worry about them rubbing off. I am beyond excited to use these and can't wait to use these in my next week spread :)

I highly recommend checking this shop out she offers a huge variety of stickers, ones that will be perfect for anyone really, her prices are so low as well! You really cant find anything with this quality with such a cheap price.

These would be great gifts for anyone who has a planner!

CandlesByAmanda228 On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received two different candle products from a shop on etsy by the name of CandlesByAmanda228

The first product is some wax melts in the scent  salted caramel latte. I am in love with food scents so this is absolutely perfect lol. I could smell these through the plastic container before I even opened them up.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/225045955/soy-wax-melts-in-clamshell-containers?ref=shop_home_active_3

Retails:($3.00)

Inside the package is 6 squares that you break apart an put into your warmer. Personally, I only needed one. I have a Scentsy and one was the perfect amount. I think if you might use more then one the scent might be too over powering. These melted really nicely and worked amazing. I used one cube, and left my Scentsy on for a few days, and it still smelt amazing. This is ascent that will certainly smell up a house rather quickly. I loved this smell in my home I thought it was very warm and welcoming.

The packaging for these wax melts are just like those for the Scentsy, or ones you will find anywhere. I found the packaging really helpful. They are easy to break apart and they store really easily sense they hardly take up any space.

Next we have a candle, in the scent cotton candy! I almost freaked out when I seen she had the scent cotton candy lol. It's one of my all time favorites and it is so hard to find, so when I seen she had this I just had to have it lol. This is one of her tin candles that is six ounces. I instantly thought of my childhood as soon as I opened this and took a sniff! If anyone remembers those cotton candy body sprays from back in the day, this smelt identical to it. If you think I'm crazy and have no idea what I'm talking about then lol this smells just like cotton candy, its super sweet smelling and smells just like real cotton candy. It smells delicious.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/244950070/6oz-scented-soy-wax-tin-candles?ref=shop_home_active_11

Retails:($5.00)

The wax for this one is a light blue color which is perfect for the cotton candy theme. I really do love how she chose this color it is is perfect. I did in fact use this candle a few times. I didn't find this candle to be super potent in scent, but then again i just think its just the scent. This fragrance is on the softer side, and is'nt so strong. I still found this candle to be pretty amazing and relaxing as well.

Overall these wax melt and candles are amazing, she did an amazing job at creating them. I am pretty impressed and loved the scents that I was able to try.

These would make perfect gifts for pretty much anyone.

ShowGirlDesigns On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

 

I have 2 different items from a shop called ShowGirlDesigns to review for you today.

 

 

The first item I have to review is this adorable police officer ornament. I am abousluey in love with this. I think she did a great job at capturing a police officer's uniform and making it an ornament. This is plastic ornament which is perfect if you have kids, or if your just clumsy just like myself lol. In my opinion I love plastic ones much better, because you don't have to worry about them breaking, and when you store them away all year they don't need to be wrapped up as much.

 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/249839935/blue-line-police-officer-ornament?ref=shop_home_active_8

Retails:($12.00)

 

 

She took royal blue sparkles and put it all on the inside of the ornament, which made it look amazing! Then she placed a vinyl deal with the Police officer badge, and for the perfect finishing touch the star in the center is gold, which make it pop when it's next to that navy blue color.

 

The last item I have to review today for you guys, is this cup! If anyone knows me you all know that I love cups, and you really can't have enough lol I may have problem! I am super excited to add this one to my collection, and I can honestly say I don't have a cup quite like this one!

 

 

I am not a huge fan of green, but now I am lol. I love the green sparkles on the cup. It's super pretty and really eye catching as well. On the front of the cup it says "Just A Small Town Girl" which immediately makes me say in my head "Living in a lonely world" lol. Anyway, back to the cup! This is super  cute cup and she did an amazing job and decorating it. I think the choice to use the white decal against the green sparkles was a great choice.

 

This cup also comes with a straw, attached the straw is a green bow, which goes perfectly with this green color scheme. I think this adds the perfect touch to this cup!

 

 

The back of the cup is plain, just the green sparkles.

I really do like this cup in general and I love how it has a handle!

 

 

The ornament would make a great gift for any police officer, or for a family who has a police officer in it. The cup would make a great gift for any friend, family, co- worker, this would be a great gift to fill with candy or other small things.

 

Overall I'm super impressed with this shop. She makes a huge variety of different products, and they are really endless. She is one of the most friendly shop owners I have spoke with, she will do whatever it takes to make her customers happy. She is extremely talented and  I am in love with this shop!

She sent me one of her pillar candles from her holiday collection. The scent that she sent to me is the candy cane bliss candle. This smells amazing! It's so strong and I was super surprised by that.

I love how the colors of wax really do looks like candy canes. It add's that perfect touch to the candle. I am pretty much in love with candle to be honest. As soon as I opened the package out of the mail I could instantly smell the candle lol.

I took pictures of this candle as soon as I opened it. I did use it a few times, to try it out to get the whole experience and let me just tell you this candles works wonders. It made my whole house smell like candy cane. It's pretty crazy how this small candle is so powerful.

I would definitely recommend this shop for candles. This candle is probably one of the best homemade ones I have ever tried by far. I'm super curious in trying some more of her products.
