Holiday Gift Guide for The Kids: Carson zOrb Digital Microscope & GIVEAWAY

This holiday season is the perfect time to spark your child's interest in science through this fun and interactive digital microscope called the zOrb. The zOrb MM-480 is a digital microscope manufactured by Carson Optical. It comes in 3 colors: Surf Blue, Safari Green and Lava Orange.

The microscope has an integrated camera and ability to record and make videos - my son's favorite function. It has an illuminator built in to ensure a bright image that can be magnified up to 35x. Hold it over a dollar bill and you can see the fibers. Hold it over a bug and check out the tiny hairs. The possibilities are endless!

Holiday Gift Guide for Her: Shoeline.com's Fabulous Boots & GIVEAWAY

Just in time for the holidays: Boots from Shoeline.com!
Not only are they comfortable, but they are fashionable! The boots I tried are so incredibly comfortable they are like walking on air! All women love looking nice, but if your feet aren't comfortable it doesn't matter how great you look - you are miserable. I tried the Softspots Ruby but apparently I have incredible taste because they are currently out of stock.

However, Shoeline.com has tons of other great boots to chose from and with over 400 product videos, you can view them prior to purchase.

Check out a few of my favs:

* Born Telly

* Softspots Ruby
* Born Allegra
* Softspots Reagan
* Born Lewisa
