Malt Shop Cookies

Do you have those folks on your Holiday list that you just don't know what to give them? I know I do and it is usually my older family members, the family we don't see often and the kids teachers. Shopping can be so stressful if you don't know what to get them and when I find something I love I want to share it with you guys.

 
Malt Shop Cookies is the perfect gift for those hard to shop for folks on your list.

I think what I love most about them is that I grew up loving Malted Milk everything. It is something that I definitely tie to my youth and get happy just seeing the word Malted. My grandmother always had malted mix and it was a definite favorite. My dad always bought that half gallon milk container full of Whoppers Malted Milk Balls. Who didn't love those chocolate covered yum yums?

The Malt Shop Cookies takes that nostalgic name and flavor and made cookies using malted milk.

What's great about using Malted Milk in your cookies? Well, malted milk keeps your favorite cookies softer longer.  Maybe it has something to do with the malted barley or the wheat or maybe it is the whole milk. Whatever it is, it works and the cookies are amazing.

 

 The guys who created this wonderful combination are named John and Ed and they have created 3 flavors of cookies that you can purchased separately in packs of 12, 18 or 36 cookies or in a combo tin of 18 or 36.

The flavors are:

Chocolate Chip

Double Chocolate 

Mocha Chocolate

Head over to Malt Shop Cookies and shop for yourself or for loved ones. You can even add a personalized message to the tin including a photo.

SO....if  you are looking for a yummy gift for someone on your list that they cannot get in stores, give Malt Shop Cookies a try.

Mini Blender for Make And Go Shakes, Smoothies and More

This Blender is perfect. It is a Stainless Mixer that comes with (2) 20 oz travel, sport bottles.  You simply put everything in the mixer, twist, change the top out and go! No more dirting up a blender and a cup! Just mix and go!!!

The bottles are dishwasher safe and get covered with an easy to use top so you can drink on the go.

With 4 Stainless Steel blades, you can guarantee the perfect mixing at a 300W power. This is a powerful baby that takes up very little space. 

This was so easy to use that you could do it with a baby in your arms. Fill with your favorite whatever. We did spinach, mango, carrot, apple, yogurt and water. You place the cup in the blender upside down which is where the blender blade is and twist. Watch it blend until it is the consistency you like. We like ours pretty juiced when using veggies.

 It doesn't have to be juice in there. You could use it for anything you would put in your blender and this is the perfect size for making marinade or salad dressing. No need to take out a big blender.

The 411:

We received a Tekno Newborn in September and love. The kitty walks (very slowly) and sings to you when you clap. There are two buttons on it's head and we had a problem with the ear falling off but for my daughter who doesn't have a live cat or dog she loves any robotic pet that sort of acts like a pet.

She loves how it flips into their air so she can catch it. Basically you push the baby's feet forward and press the button on top of his head. You will hear it with a little beep so you know it has happened. Once it does that they kitten or puppy will make a sounds a bark or in our case a Meow and will jump into your hand.

The kitty's come in pink and teal and are so cute and fun with lights, sounds and movement.

Tekno Pets interact with other Tekno Pets which is fun.

Give The Gift Of Christmas

My Grandparents are pretty special.  God bless them and blessed me by allowing me to still have them in my life. They are 98 and 99 years old and every year I struggle with what to get them usually opting for a shipment of fruit and sweets. They are too cute putting up their little Christmas Tree but I worry about my grandfather getting on a step stool to decorate the tree so this year I ordered them a Christmas Tree from Jackson and Perkins and it should be arriving Dec 9th.
 

Jackson and Perkins sent us a cute little tree to check out last year and we loved it.  You can see my tree unboxing and more here.

This year they sent us a Winter in the Woods Christmas Tree which is so perfectly titled and it is absolutely adorable so I decide to gift some mini trees this year. One to my grandparents and one to my Uncle. I cannot wait to get the phone call this year to hear what they think about their ready made, already decorated "real" Christmas Tree. It has been years since they had one.

The Albert Spruce tree comes in a woven basket container with handles and has the cutest natural ornaments I have ever seen like natural birch wood snow flake ornaments, larger wood ornaments,  mini copper bells, natural string and little stitched birds as well as mini wool balls and fairy lights that are easily turned on and off when you need them thanks to a little battery pack and switch.

This is the cutest tabletop Christmas Tree! It was our Thanksgiving center piece and lights our main room every night.

The beautiful music of Outlander is inspired by music of the time period 1700s. It is cheery, haunting, heartbreaking and completely memorable with a whole lot of Scottish influence.
