Coming Soon- Tech Savvy Mama’s Holiday Gift Guide!

October 7, 2009 By Leticia


Yes, that’s right! Just like the major retailers in that it isn’t even Halloween yet but I’m already thinking ahead to the holidays and looking for products that will make the cut as part of the Second Annual Tech Savvy Mama Holiday Gift Guide! I’m making my list, checking it twice to make sure that every item on this year’s Holiday Gift Guide is something that I absolutely love and think you should know about.

What am I looking for?

Quite simply- anything and everything! I’m looking for items for moms, dads, kids of all ages, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. I’m looking for things that a tech savvy household cannot live without, toys for every age, fun and useful smartphone apps, food items,
budget friendly items along with the extravagant.

Last year’s gift guide was a huge hit and had separate lists for toddlers & preschool, elementary ages, and teens & tweens plus a guide for gifts for moms and dads! I’m planning on doing something similar and have items already starting to arrive for my review.

If you have an item that you would like me to consider, please send an e-mail to me at tech savvy mama at g mail dot com and be willing to send a sample for review purposes.

In the e-mail, include the following:

  • Name of the item
  • Target age the item is for
  • Press release about the item
  • Images that you would like to have included if I select it for my gift guide
  • Whether you are willing to provide a giveaway of the item/gift certificate to your site because my readers love giveaways and this is a great way to get exposure for your site or product!
  • Any applicable discount codes you can provide to my readers

Hey readers! Here’s your chance to weigh in! What kinds of things are you looking for this holiday season and would like to win through my gift guide? Leave a comment and let me know!

Look for the Second Annual Tech Savvy Mama Holiday Gift Guide in late November or early December!

What’s on the list so far? Oodles of DVDs and CDs, the latest and greatest from Leapfrog, fun toys, amazing tech peripherals, iPhone apps, apparel, food items…Excited??? Me too!

I regret that samples for consideration cannot be returned due to the fact that I am a one person holiday operation. Ok, maybe 2 with the help of Tech Savvy Daddy but my point is that there are no elves that live here in the Tech Savvy household to help return products sent to me to review.

Thanks for reading Tech Savvy Mama through your feed!

    Oh! I loved your gift guide last year and especially all the giveaways! This year I’ll be looking for things to entertain my preschool-aged son and things to help make a new mom’s life easier.

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

When we bought our house 24 years ago, it came wit When we bought our house 24 years ago, it came with many things we didn’t love like rotted porch boards, 1 bathroom, and peeling paint (inside and out!) but it also came with things we did love like old, mature trees, crazy shaped boxwood bushes, and these spectacular peonies! 🌸 Every year when they bloom I’m so glad that these beauties conveyed with the purchase of our house and I’m glad we rebuilt our porch so we can step out our front door to admire them in their glory! 🩷#peonies #peonyseason #garden #blooms #spring
As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
