We love cooking and entertaining. Spices can really enhance the flavors of the foods we cook. I love trying new spice blends and making some of my own. Recently, I was contacted by The Spice Lab and they sent me one of their Mediterranean Spice Collection Gift Sets. The collection of 4 spice blends come packaged in a white box.
Check out our video unboxing to see what’s inside.
In addition to the Mediterranean Collection Gift Set , The Spice Lab offers the BBQ Gift Set, Taste of America Gift Set and the Turmeric Gift Set. We think any of these sets would make a great gift and that is why we added them to our 2018 Holiday Gift Guide at Mommy Ramblings.

So excited to share with you a book that is perfect for reading with your kids this time of year or for them to read themselves. The Christmasaurus is all about the power of believing.
Once upon a time—long, long ago, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth—an egg rolled away from its mother and landed in the ocean, where it froze solid and stayed peacefully for thousands of years. Then one day Santa and his elves discover the frozen egg, and Santa sits on it to see if it will hatch. But he can’t guess what’s inside. . . . A dinosaur!
Meanwhile, a young boy named William Trundle has only ever wished for one thing for Christmas: a dinosaur! So whenSanta accidentally gives William the real Christmasaurus instead of a stuffed replica, it’s the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER! Until an evil man known as the Hunter decides a dinosaur will be the perfect addition to his collection.
Written by McFly band member, YouTuber, and UK celebrity TOM FLETCHER, THE CHRISTMASAURUS is sure to become an instant Christmas classic.
Check out our video of the book below:

We love the jewelry from Pictures on Gold. They have so many great options for you to create unique and special gifts for everyone on your holiday gift list.
Their Custom Engraved Photo Jewelry is of the highest quality. Years ago, I created a photo keychain for my husband that he uses every day and it still looks just as good as the day I gave it to him. Last Father’s Day I gave him a photo dog chain necklace that he wears every day including when he swims and showers and it looks perfect.
This holiday season, I created a beautiful photo charm of my 2 youngest children. It hangs off the expandable bracelet and is such a lovely piece.
You can add a custom text engraving on the opposite side.
Check out my video below to see it in better detail.

My kids are very creative, they love to sketch, paint and color. I was looking for a durable art set that was compact and had an array of features, and could be used when traveling. I found that in the Faber Castell Do Art Travel Art Easel.
This 3-in-1 easel folds flat and all the supplies store inside in 2 removable drawers. The easel can be used as a drawing easel, white board, chalk board or lap desk.
Pull our the drawers on the side and you will find, Faber Castell Jumbo Beeswax Crayons, Colored EcoPencils, markers, chalk, dry erase marker with built-in eraser, pencil sharpener, sponge eraser and sketch pad.
Check out our video below:
The Do Art Easel is great for kids ages 4 and up and is recommended by art educators. I really like that it folds flat and my kids have a variety of options when they use it. It is nice that all the supplies are tucked securely inside and it is easy for them to access them when needed.
