Choosing just the right holiday gift can be a challenge, especially for time-pressed moms who travel. These gift ideas can make the job easier.
Travel
Give yourself or someone you love the gift of a good night's sleep. When you travel to visit relatives or they travel to visit you, it is absolutely OK to stay in a hotel or to book a room for your guests. Hilton Garden Inn offers free wifi, clean rooms with comfy beds, affordable rates, and a good rewards program. They'll thank you for giving them something other than another uncomfortable night on that blow-up bed.
OrganizationLove Twitter? FaceBook? LinkedIn? Then you know how hard it is to keep them all updated when you are traveling. If you have a Windows Phone like an HTC Radar 4G, you can use People Hub to update all three to tell your friends with a touch of one button – no individual app launches – and that saves a ton of time. The phone also offers Voice to Search, which makes it a great travel companion. For example, if you are in an unfamiliar city and you need pizza, you just tell the phone "Find Pizza" and you will get a list of pizza places in the area. It also has a Voice to Text feature that is hands-free texting. It’s safe, easy and efficient.
Fun
Tweens love to have products made just for them. The hit show, Victorious, has characters and story lines created just for tweens. The new game Victorious: Time to Shine for Kinect will have tweens OFF THE COUCH acting dancing and singing and the Victorious DS game: Hollywood Arts Debut gives tweens the opportunity to jump into the story and go on missions with their favorite characters.
