2019 Gift Idea



hello everyone,

It is the time of year where you try to find perfect holiday gifts for loved ones but we all have one or more family members or friends. If you have been a follower of my blog you will know that every year I write up posts to help you with gift ideas. I know purchasing gifts can end up stressful. I am good at finding gifts for everyone but sometimes it can still be hard when you have someone on your list that has everything or keeps saying they don't need anything. Sometimes jewellery is a good idea, especially ones that are engraved or have a photo in it.

Here are a few suggestions for you:

If you are dating someone for a while you can always give him or her promise rings cheap or maybe a monogram bracelet. 

Looking for something for your mom or grandmother or an aunt/uncle or your husband/wife? You know sometimes older family members are hard to shop for. I never have any problems finding what to get for the children in my family but I sometimes have a hard time finding something for my mom or my brother and sisters.
Sometimes we buy gift cards for those family or friends who are hard to shop for but why not get them something more from the heart. Maybe you can give your husband or your father a photo dog tag or a photo necklace to your wife or mom instead of a gift card? Check out this page https://www.getnamenecklace.com/photo-necklace.  You can give grandma a necklace that has a photo of her grand-children. You can even buy a necklace with a photo of a beloved cat or dog for a friend! I am a dog lover and receiving a necklace or keychain with a photo of my cute and sweet little dog would just be the perfect gift.

MY THOUGHTS


I know I have seen the first one but it was a long time ago and I have seen part 2 before but again it was a long time ago (at least 25 years or so ago).


Anyway, I found this movie was rushed and personally I didn't find it scary at all. Mind you, I don't love horror movies and barely ever get scared watching them.  


There were a bunch of flashbacks going on in this one and like most horror movies it was cheesy.


I thought it was good and it is going to stay in my horror movie collection. 


I give this 3 1/2 out of 5

Good Boys on Blu-ray/Dvd Giveaway



After being invited to his first kissing party, 12-year-old Max (Jacob Tremblay; Room) is panicking because he doesn’t know how to kiss. Eager for some pointers, Max and his best friends Thor (Brady Noon, HBO’s Boardwalk Empire) and Lucas (Keith L. Williams, Fox’s The Last Man On Earth) decide to use Max’s dad’s drone – which Max is forbidden to touch – to spy on a teenage couple making out next door. But when things go ridiculously wrong, the drone is destroyed. Desperate to replace it before Max’s dad (Will Forte, The Last Man on Earth) gets home, the boys skip school and set off on an odyssey of epically bad decisions involving some accidentally stolen drugs, frat-house paintball, and running from both the cops and two terrifying teenage girls (Molly Gordon; Life of the Party and Midori Francis; Ocean’s Eight).

I am happy to share this giveaway with you all.  One winner will receive a copy of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw on Blu-ray.

Joining the cast as Shaw’s sister Hattie, Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible-Fallout, “The Crown”) “is convincing as a woman who can take care of herself” (Rafer Guzman, Newsday). Directed by David Leitch from a story by longtime Fast & Furious narrative architect Chris Morgan and a screenplay by Morgan and Drew Pearce (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Iron Man 3), Hobbs & Shaw is produced by Johnson, Statham, Morgan and Hiram Garcia (Skyscraper, Rampage).

Peanuts 70th Anniversary Holiday Collection Limited Edition Featured Specials:

* It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie BrownThis Emmy® Award-nominated special, finds the Peanuts gang outfitted in costumes, ready for trick or treating and crashing Violet’s Halloween party. Charlie Brown is in a ghost costume (with more eyeholes cut out than needed), Lucy dressed as a witch and Snoopy in a World War I flying ace costume. Linus decides to steadfastly hold vigil in the pumpkin patch as he awaits the Great Pumpkin.

* It’s Magic, Charlie Brown – This special finds Snoopy putting on a show after he checks out a book on magic tricks from the library. With Marcie and Sally as his assistants, he performs many tricks (some that work and some that don’t) before an audience. The grand finale features the biggest trick of all, making Charlie Brown disappear. To everyone’s amazement, Snoopy makes him invisible but doesn’t know how to bring Charlie Brown back. Will Snoopy find a way to reverse the trick?

* Charlie Brown’s All-Stars – Nominated for two Prime Time Emmys®, in this delightful special, Charlie Brown is faced with a difficult moral dilemma; should he accept brand new uniforms and give the rest of the gang a chance to be part of an official little league baseball team even if it means that due to policy, Snoopy, Lucy, Patty, Violet and Frieda must be kicked off?

* A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving – In this Emmy® Award-winning special, Peppermint Patty invites herself to Charlie Brown’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. Marcie and Franklin are soon added as dinner guests. Charlie Brown admits that his culinary skills are limited to “cold cereal and maybe toast.” Snoopy and Woodstock transform the ping-pong table in the backyard into a dinner table. As the guests arrive, they are each served two slices of buttered toast, some pretzel sticks, popcorn and jelly beans. Peppermint Patty is outraged at the meal and berates Charlie Brown until embarrassed and dejected, he leaves the table and goes back into the house.

* The Mayflower Voyagers – In this special from the This is America, Charlie Brown series, the Peanuts kids become pilgrims sailing to the New World aboard the Mayflower and endure the first hard winter on Plymouth Plantation.

* Play It Again, Charlie Brown – Nominated for an Emmy Award ®, this special focuses on Lucy’s undying and unreciprocated love for the piano playing child prodigy, Schroeder. In an effort to win Schroeder’s affection, Lucy, under Peppermint Patty’s advice, invites him to perform in a concert at an upcoming PTA meeting. Schroeder accepts and immediately begins rehearsing. Lucy, delighted with Schroeder’s acceptance, thanks Peppermint Patty. Peppermint Patty however, mentions she forgot to tell Lucy that only rock music will be featured in the program and that Schroeder won’t be able to play Beethoven. Lucy is left in anguish, knowing Schroeder will refuse to perform anything other than classical music and tries to find a way to break the news without his dropping out of the program.

* A Charlie Brown ChristmasIn this Emmy® and Peabody Award winning classic, Charlie Brown is upset by how commercial the Christmas holiday has become. To coax him out of his holiday blues, Lucy suggests he direct the school’s Christmas pageant and decorate a glorious tree. Charlie Brown concedes. The tree he finds however, is puny, prompting everyone to ridicule him.

* It’s Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown – This is the second Christmas-themed Peanuts special since A Charlie Brown Christmas. Holiday preparations include Charlie Brown selling wreaths door-to-door to make extra money, Peppermint Patty sweating out an important book report and the entire crew appearing in a Christmas pageant.

* It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown – Originally broadcast in 1984, this special is comprised of several clever parodies inspired by popular early ‘80s dance trends ranging from disco to break dancing as well as a series of top 40 hit songs from the era. It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown earned an Emmy® Award nomination for Outstanding Animated Program.

Pan’s Labyrinth on 4K UHD Combo Pack and Digital #MovieReview

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own



Following a bloody civil war, young Ofelia enters a world of unimaginable cruelty when she moves in with her new stepfather, a tyrannical military officer.  Armed with only her imagination, Ofelia discovers a mysterious labyrinth and meets a faun who sets her on a path to saving herself and her ailing mother.  But soon, the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur, and before Ofelia can turn back, she finds herself at the center of a ferocious battle between good and evil.

Own Pan’s Labyrinth on 4K UHD Combo Pack and Digital on October 1. 





MY THOUGHTS

This movie came out back in 2006 and I admit that in all those years I had never seen this movie until last weekend. I can't believe I just finally saw it because it is so up to the kind of movies I prefer. I mean dark Fantasy movies.

I am so happy to say that I just absolutely loved this movie.  I found it very well done and I was so sucked into it that I found the time when so fast.

This movie is entertaining and very much visually stunning.

I do highly recommend this one.

I give this 5 out of 5.
