Santa’s Cookies Giveaway and Review

December 4, 2010 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Giveaways, Review 137 Comments

Giveaway Closed: Congratulations, Donna!

If you read enough of my blog, you know that I don’t claim to cook much/well. In fact, I was a bit intimidated when I had to pull my mixer off the top shelf and remove the layer of dust. Okay, so I don’t use it much. I am not very familiar with kitchen tools, but I sure do appreciate them – perhaps more for the look and less for the use. That is why The Pampered Chef completely surprised me!

So when I received the opportunity to review the NEW Cookie Press from The Pampered Chef I was bit nervous. In fact, my idea for Santa’s cookies includes break-and-bake cookies. So here I was, dusty mixer and cookie press contraption in hand – how was I ever going to give this tool a try and prove to my readers I can make adorable little cookies? Will you believe me if I say I thought about running out to the store and buying a box, unwrapping the cookies, placing them in a plate and telling you I made them?

Since I am pretty good at step-by-step directions the recipe was easy-peasy. The next step was to put the dough into the press and create these adorable little Christmas trees. I read the directions and thought they must be wrong. At the beginning, I actually strayed from the directions because I though surely they didn’t know what they were talking about. Thus Christmas Tree cookies were looking like mashed up layers of cookie dough. I then followed the steps and realized making the adorable cookies were not so hard after all! They were as easy at 1-2-3. NO JOKE! Put your cookie disk in (you can choose among 8 different disks), place the dough in, lay the press flat on the tray, make a 1/3 turn, lift and whola – a perfect Christmas Tree cookie. I promise – that easy.

New Cookie Press (Retail Value $29.50)

– Rotating press dispenses dough with a simple twist of the knob.

– Clear barrrel allows you to see how much dough is in the barrel.

– Comes with 10 metal disks: a ribbon for savory cheese straws, a potato ricer disk for perfect mashed potatoes and 8 decorative cookie deisgns.

– Dishwasher-safe

I am excited to let one lucky reader try The Pampered Chef Cookie Press for him/herself. These cookies are easy, will make a great family afternoon/evening in the kitchen, and will be the perfect treat for Santa (he might actually find himself eating the WHOLE plate.)

Note: Looking for Recipes – Go to The Pampered Chef Here and take a look at their many great options. You can also find a recipe for The Classic Spritz Cookies I made above.

Closed. Holiday Giveaway – Big Toy Book $50 & Helicopter #wingiveaways

December 4, 2010 by FrugalCouponLiving Filed Under: Giveaways, Holiday2010, Kids, Win Giveaways

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations, Jamie!

The Big Toy Book is a web site with all kinds of toys, apparel, etc. BUT it also has a members-only shopping community where you can get discounts of up to 70% off toys, games and more for kids! Make sure to register for the members-only section to get these huge savings! Then, when you go back to the site, make sure you scroll down to the bottom to log in and access the members-only private sale community. Make sure to visit their Blog also for all kinds of tips and ideas.

Perfect for holiday and gift shopping, their limited-time sales feature huge savings on best-loved and up-and-coming toys and brands for kids! I have seen Disney, KidKraft, Seasame Street, and more! So far this week, they’ve had Hello Kitty, Cars, Littlest Pet Shop and more! Featured more toward the younger crowd with some items toward an older generation, the sales are irresistible! They have various categories like Apparel/Gear, Toys & Games, Electronics, By Age, etc. to make it easier to find what you want.

They also offer $10 to your account for each friend you refer who becomes a member and buys! How great is that! AND if you like them on Facebook, make sure to visit each Friday for a ‘password’ that could get you freebies and exclusive savings just for that day.

One item that The Big Toy Book let me try out was their product geared toward that older group of kids – a helicopter. My husband is like a big kid when it comes to toys and the Interceptor R/C Indoor/Outdoor Flight Helicopter by Interactive Toy Concepts is no exception! This remote control helicopter says it’s age-appropriate for 12 years + and I would have to agree because it is a little difficult to drive. While it is an indoor/outdoor device, I would recommend using it outdoors as learning out to drive it is a bit difficult in the beginning. With two thumbs requiring the work, you don’t want to test drive it near your precious lamp. Note: You can get this on The Big Toy Book right now.

We liked that it charges via a USB cable directly into a USB port instead of using batteries, so you can plug it into your computer to charge! A remote control helicopter like this would burn through batteries! It takes about 60 minutes to charge for the first time. There are two flying modes: Normal and Pro. We used normal (because we don’t consider ourselves pros!) and it flew very smooth and easy, besides the driving difficulties I mentioned above.

All in all, this helicopter is tons of fun no matter your age!

Right now you can get your 70% discounted items with a nice little coupon code. Head to Big Toy Book and sign up now. Now you can get $10/$50 with promo code HolidayBash. Note this code is $10/$50 before tax and can only be used on the private sale store.
