Avon: Kenneth Jay Lane Jeweltone Statement Necklace
Posted by Amy on November 20, 2008

Avon has been around for what? EVER? Well, they’ve been around as long as I can remember, anyway.
Maybe you weren’t aware of this but Avon sells more than just make-up. Yeah, they have shoes, clothes, jewelry, plenty of stuff for the kids and other unique items that make mighty nice holiday gifts. Seriously, if you haven’t scoped out Avon for the hard-to-buy-for peeps in your life, I recommend doing so while there is still time. I’m taking my own advice on that one.
After you get done browsing around Avon’s website and looking for gifts for everyone else, come back here and enter to win something nice for you! The necklace pictured above is a Kenneth Jay Lane Jeweltone Statement Necklace and it’s not even available yet. Don’t sweat it, we’ve got you covered. Isn’t she pretty?

PopStar Guitar for Wii and PS2
Posted by Amy on November 20, 2008

I have anxiously been awaiting this game to arrive on store shelves and now it’s finally here! Similar to Guitar Hero, this game lets you play along to your favorite pop songs like; See You Again by Miley Cyrus, Since You Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson and It’s Not Over by Daughtry just to name a few (more than 50 songs included).

PopStar Guitar retails for about $60 and comes with the “AirG”, a peripheral that turns the Wii Remote™ into an air guitar. Here is some more info about the game:
PopStar Guitar features a single player Career Mode and two-player Co-operative Mode, along with single player and multi-player mini-games. The game takes the player on a musical journey that starts with forming a garage band to playing at 25 unique venues and eventually performing in the worldwide “Battle of the Bands” contest. Twelve playable characters are featured in the game and can be customized to give the band its own unique look. PopStar Guitar features over 50 pop songs, including several masters performed by the original artists.
We’re giving away TWO PopStar Guitar bundles for the Wii system. Each bundle includes two AirG peripherals.

Heelys: Shoes that roll
Posted by Amy on November 19, 2008

I remember the first time I saw a kid roll by me. I was at a store, most likely Target. I thought, “How strange. That kid just rolled by on his heels.” Not long after, I saw more kids rolling by me - at the mall, at the park, at restaurants. These Heelys, well, these shoes are all the rage.
It’s interesting to me to watch the evolution of wheel-related sports and activities. From roller skates to skateboards, to inline skates to shoes with wheels embedded in the heels. I think it’s great for kids to have this kind of opportunity to practice balancing and possibly find a “hidden talent”.
We’re giving away TWO pairs of Heelys to TWO winners. Winners can choose from the above pictured styles (Camo Bones, Pixie, Ivy or Ninja). Each style is available in multiple colors and sizes.
TO ENTER: Include your favorite Heelys team member in your entry form. (Hint: Click HERE. Suggestion: invite your child look through the short list of Heelys teams and pick his/her favorite team member. Then, they can look through the Tricktionary gallery to view the team member’s favorite “trick”)
Fill out the giveaway entry form below and click “SUBMIT”. If you have successfully entered, you should get an auto email response (Check your spam folder).
*NOTE: Please have your shoe style , color and size choice ready to list in your entry form (required).
The brand new styles to choose from are: Camo Bones, Pixie, Ivy, and Ninja.
A winner will be chosen at random and emailed the day after the giveaway closes. Last day to enter is Friday, December 12, 2008 at midnight PST. Be sure to check your SPAM folder so you don’t miss the email notification. This post will also be updated with the winner’s name and blog/website (if provided).
