Just look for the “This is a Giveaway!” button in the categories below. More details on how to enter are at the end of this post.

So without further ado, I offer “The Pixel Boutique 2010 Holiday Gift Guide {and Giveaways!}. You’ll find deals, my favorite picks, and giveaways for most everyone on your holiday list.

For Him

BlueAnt – S4 True Handsfree

BlueAnt’s S4 is the first true hands-free voice controlled Bluetooth car speakerphone. With the BlueAnt S4 drivers no longer need to touch their mobile phone or car speakerphone while driving. The S4 allows users to make and receive calls and access information using only their voice. Have you seen the movies featuring the S4 and Q2 on YouTube? Check out Gotta Run and The Situation…(this one’s my fave). A perfect gift for the man in your life.

Bucky Balls

This is one of those things where you think…why didn’t I think of that!? What a simple yet entertaining concept. Check out the video below to get a real idea of what Bucky Balls are all about. These would make great stocking stuffers, but they are not for young children. There will be 3 winners for Bucky Balls but anyone can enter PIXELBOUTIQUE for a 15% discount!

For Her

Just a Cap Full – Custom Photo Bottle Cap Necklaces

This is my little side project where I can get my hands dirty and have some fun creating unique jewelry. I take recycled bottle caps and insert a photo or image of your choice and dress it up with some glittery goodness. You can check out the process and all the details in my Etsy shop. And this is a giveaway! You can enter to win one free necklace for you or someone on your Christmas list. PLUS…take 20% off using the code HOLIDAY from now until Dec. 5.

Scentsy – Flameless Scented Candles

Have you discovered Scentsy? I did just a few months ago and I loooove them. And I’ll be giving a few as Christmas gifts this year. Ms. Amy Bellgardt, creator of Mom Made That and Mom Spark Media is also a Scentsy consultant (in all her spare time…) and has generously offered the above “Lei” Plug In Warmer and “Clarity” Scent pack to one lucky winner. Plus, Amy had offered all The Pixel Boutique readers a buy any 2, get 1 free deal! Simply email Amy after checkout and she will take care of you. Wow…thanks Amy!

For Kiddos

Tony Hawk: SHRED by Activision

When my kids saw the Tony Hawk SHRED on T.V. they were quick to let me know just how much they would love to see it under the tree this year. The motion-sensing board creates an exhilarating skate and snowboarding experience for young pros. SHRED is rated E (Everyone ages six and older) and is available for Xbox 360, PlayStation3 and Nintendo Wii. Check out shredgame.com for tricks, videos and music.

While racing through the galaxy on a mission to defeat the Hive army, kids are learning valuable math skills. In multiplayer mode, they can battle head-to-head with up to three friends at the same time. One reader will win a Math Blaster for Nintendo DS! (Be sure to check out all JumpStart has to offer online!)

Nick Walls by HP

New from HP comes Nick Walls, an ingenious way to make your walls your very own work of art. Choose from your favorite Nickelodeon theme (like Dora the Explorer, iCarly, SpongeBob or Go, Diego, Go!) then create your own unique “wall paper” using characters, objects and backgrounds.

For Festive Greetings

You knew I had to include Snapfish in my Holiday Gift Guide and Giveaway… . This year Snapfish has stepped up their game by offering new holiday greeting cards from new designers (like me!). The selection is amazing, but here are a few of the latest designs available in my shop…

Here’s your chance to get your cards done with a little help from Snapfish. One winner will receive a $50 credit to Snapfish!

For the Hostess

Beau-Coup Favors

Have some parties to attend this holiday season? I know I do. Its always nice to show up with a little somethin’ somethin’ for the hardworking hostess. Take a look at these cute place card holders…aren’t they precious? Any hostess would be tickled pink to receive those. You can find plenty more fun gifts and favors at Beau-Coup Favors. They specialize in wedding and baby shower favors. One winner will receive a $25 credit to spend however they wish!

The Reluctant Entertainer

Earlier this year I won a copy of Sandy Coughlin’s book, The Reluctant Entertainer from a giveaway on Pensieve Robin. I totally love this book because it shares simple tips and ideas and even recipes for the every day woman…and that’s me. Sandy demystifies the art of entertaining and guides you to becoming a more relaxed and confident entertainer.

For the Crafter

Martha Stewart Crafts – Punch All Over The Page

If you’re a paper crafter or scrapbooker, you know that Martha Stewart has some quality products out there for crafters. Well here’s one of her newest products…so new that you can’t even get them in the stores yet! (due out in December). The Punch All Over The Page frees you from the restraints of most paper punches because its a completely new concept using a magnetic die cut and base. And guess what…I’ve got my hands on 3 punches for one lucky winner! Included is the Pinking Circle, Classic Butterfly and Studded Heart.

The Scrap Rack

I’m an avid scrapbooker and used to have a blog dedicated to the art of scrapbooking (before I realized I wasn’t superwoman who could do it all and more…). One of my favorite products I discovered while blogging about scrapbooking was The Scrap Rack. Its more than just an organization product, its an organization system, which I still use today. Take a look at the website and watch some videos on how the Scrap Rack works…and you might just be convinced like I was.

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

This month you can’t fling a bra without hitting something pink. Pink hats, pink ribbons, pink umbrellas…I love it. Here are a few of my favorites.

My son’s football team got in the action…

Love this necklace from StephieMc’s Etsy shop…

and who could resist such a subtle message as this…?

This year, Snapfish is contributing to the fight against breast cancer in a big way by launching its new Pink Gives Store, offering custom card designs, calendars, notebooks, notepads, cards, and stickers.

As you may or may not know, yours truly has the privilege of being one of Snapfish’s new Publisher designers. And I’m proud to offer my own 5×7 photo card design in my shop in honor of this special month. Its called Bird on a Wire.

These designs can be used throughout the year…for birthdays, baby announcements, girl’s night out, a Spring luncheon, etc. Use your imagination!

For any purchase made, Snapfish will donate 30 percent of the proceeds to BreastCancer.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing the most up-to-date, reliable, medically reviewed information on breast health and breast cancer to help those affected by breast cancer. Plus, if you spend $10 on any Pink Gives product through October, you’ll receive a free set of address labels!

Talk About Personalized… {Get A Free Picture Gift Bag!}

By Nicole · Comments (1)

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

When Picture Gift Mart approached me about doing a product review on their photo gift bags, I was all “Sure, those look really cute.”

Then when I got my bag in the mail I was all “These are really really cute! I love that extra personal touch it adds to a gift”. The bag is made of cardboard and a little more sturdy than a traditional gift bag. It comes flattened and you simple put it together and add the enclosed string handles.

Here’s the one I made for my sister. Don’t worry, she doesn’t read my blog. (Do you?)

And THEN…

When they said “We want to offer a giveaway for not just one reader, but for every reader, I was all “Really? Sounds great!”

If you want to try Picture Gift Mart and receive one free medium bag ($6.95 value, excluding shipping…about $3.50), the site will walk you through step by step…

1. Pick the size and style you want (medium for the free bag).

2. Upload your image(s).

3. Add your personal message.

4. Edit and proof your design.

5. Enter “Free11PCGM” at checkout. (Offer expires July 31, 2010)

You’re done!

My bag came in about 3 days.

Thanks Picture Gift Mart for the love and sharing this great product with us

Picture Gift Mart provided a free (minus shipping) bag for me to review for this post.

A Perfect Gift For Dad

By Nicole · Comments (2)

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

I love technology. I also love the arts. And where the two meet is simply divine.

I get my passion for both from my dad. He was a photographer in the Navy, then a wedding photographer. Shortly after i was born, he moved into the printing industry and owned a successful business for over 30 years (which is still going strong today).

Dad always saw the potential and importance of personal computers. I remember the big unveiling of the Apple II at his office and being the only person in high school history class to write my term paper with a word processor. In the early 90s, I was the only person in my college dorm to have a computer. Granted, it took up 75% of my allotted desk space…but I was pretty cool!

So for Father’s Day this year, I was excited to come up with the perfect give for dear ol’ dad. Check it out:

Now I know digital photo frames have been around for a while but it just dawned on my what a perfect gift this would be for my dad this year. Shortly after Father’s Day, we will be celebrating his retirement as a family. I’ve asked my brothers and sister to send me old and new family photos to fill up the frame.

Seriously, this is the coolest frame ever. It holds up to 8,000 photos, plays videos, music, and photo slideshows. It also features a clock, calendar, and alarm, as well as a programmable on/off timer. I know dad will get a hoot out of it.

Snapfish is now offering 20% off Father’s Day gifts. Simply enter DADSDAY09 at checkout to receive a discount. There is also a great discount for $10 off any order of $30 or more with the SAVETODAY promo code (can not be combined). And, if that wasnt enough, Snapfish is offering 50 free prints for new customers. Simply go to www.snapfish.com/joinus to sign up.
