With Frozen 2 out and the natural love of plush bears, some of this years best gifts can be found at Build-A-Bear Workshop®. Not only can you build your own furry friend, but many more characters and friends are available to purchase. With the 2019 Holiday Collections, they always make popular gifts.

Disney’s Frozen 2 Olaf has a snowflake pattern on his fur. His smile is so wide and contagious so wherever your child carries Olaf too, he is sure to bring smiles from others.

And how adorable is Happy Hugs Teddy Fleece Navidad? I don’t know if I’m melting more over the shirt of those shoes!

This is my absolute favorite! Sorry kids, this online exclusive Polar Express Bear is Mom’s. From the robe to the bell, you’ll be popping in that DVD for a Holiday movie night in no time hearing the story of the Polar Express all over again.

There are so many Christmas friends to go search for at Build-A-Bear Workshop ® all season (and year) long.

Beginning today, Giving Tuesday, Build-A-Bear Workshop is matching your gifts with donations to Toys for Tots.  Now through December 15, when Guests purchase a gift card for $25 or more, Build-A-Bear will donate a teddy bear to Toys for Tots.

Did you know that or kitchens is the germiest place in the home (according to a recent CNN story)? Now think about where you will spend a lot of time over the Holidays; probably in the kitchen. Yuck!

Your choice of cleaner DOES matter! I hold a lot of regard for certain cleaners I choose to bring into my home and many I will never buy. The VEO Active-Probiotics Surface Cleaner is a must for getting your kitchen holiday-ready and then to clean it back up again.

Why VEO Active-Probiotics Surface Cleaner?  VEO uses the cutting-edge science of active probiotics to biodegrade dirt and grime for a deeper, long-lasting clean like you’ve never seen. It keeps cleaning deep down for up to days after you wipe it down!

Seriously! It keeps cleaning for you for days! Think about most cleaners on the market, they are causing more harm than good. They can leave behind potentially dangerous bacteria and grime you thought you reached in the grooves but didn’t. Kind of gross, isn’t it? Veo is a peace of mind for a deep clean.

Veo Cleaner is currently available on www.veocleaner.com and Amazon with expansion into retailers soon. It comes in two delightful scents – Apple and Jasmine and Citrus Blossom.

This little pot is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, sous vide and it steams, sautes, ferments to make soups, meats, stews, poultry, eggs, grains, beans, chili, yogurt, dough, cake and more.

I love the lid design. It seals so well and releasing pressure is safe and easy. It cleans up easy too. You can visit Fissler.com for more great cooking products and find the souspreme Multi Cooker on Amazon.
