Recently I had the privilege of visiting The Franklin
Institute for the Classy Mommy Social, where local bloggers had the chance to
check out some great gift ideas for the upcoming holiday season from a variety
of venders. Colleen Padilla, from www.ClassyMommy.com
put together this great event to showcase some of her favorite items for gift
giving.
Yummy treats from Tastykake including new Kandy Kake flavors, Salted Carmel, and Carrot Cake and classic Pumpkin Pie Tastykake pie. Great flavors for the fall. I was able to try each of them, and I have to say they were sweet and delicious. I brought home the Salted Carmel Kandy Kakes for my daughter and she just raved about them, and asked if I had more… Ha ha kids…
MDonalds was also there to perk us up with some McCafe coffee and a nice warm Sausage McMuffin to get our day going. I was full and ready to mingle and learn about some great new products.

All throughout the showcase there were fun toy picks that
Classy Mommy deemed great gifts, there were Disney toys, great items from the upcoming
film Moana, I know my daughter is really looking forward to that movie.
Adorable new Tsum-Tsum’s that we simply must get, I just loved Mr. Big from
Zootopia!



There were also a great book table of some wonderful book picks. These books are just the right age for my daughter, she recently got into reading and I have to introduce her to some of these picks.




Lundby had an awesome doll house to show off. It had working lights, and a sound system! Woah, I would have flipped for a doll house like this when I was a kid. Lundby also has some neat tutorials on their site to make your doll house a home, from how to decorate with printable wallpaper, to making your own pillows!


The Franklin Institute, was there to tell us about some of their upcoming exhibits. Are you a fan of Jurassic Park? Well you are going to be excited to hear that there is a bit of Jurassic World coming soon!
Yes The Franklin Institute will have their own mini version of the Jurassic World park, with select animatronic dinosaurs! Wow now this is going to be really cool, I loved all the movies and to immerse myself in a version would be educational and fun.

Just Play, had an amazing assortment of toys for kids of all
ages. From classics you may remember when you were a kid, like Care Bears,
remember Care Bear Cousins? Well I sure do, they were all the rage when I was a
kid.
Were you a fan of Water Babies too? These were the little baby dolls that
were filled up with water to make them feel more like a real baby. Well each of
these toy lines are back and as popular as ever.


Beauty Counter, had plenty of beauty items for us to try
out, are you looking for a new skin cream or wash, what about some new makeup
for the holidays? Why not check out Beauty Counter.
Save The Children was there to help us set us a prep card for our kids. Do you have a ICE Contact Card? In Case of Emergency (ICE) contact cards are great to have because you just never know what may happen and you want to be sure you have all the contact info you may need in one place. Be sure to set up and print you ICE card today.
Blow Out, Blow Dry Bar was offering a free blow out to attendees, my hair
is so thin and flat, but when I get a blow out my hair seems a totally different,
unfortunately I did not get the time to have the blow out this time, but I will
have to pay them a visit soon.
Isagenix had plenty of
supplements, and information to help us all get our bodies back and get
heathier for the holidays.
Nicole Feliciano shared her book Mom Boss, this seemed like such an interesting book since it is similar to the life I lead. For me I too am a Mom Boss. I will have to pick up a copy soon.

I'm big on giving books to my niece & nephew. Others can give them toys.
