I decided I didn’t want to do a Gift Guide for the Holidays because I was inundated with spammy publicist requests to promote wacky things I’d never heard of. Then I’d walk around my house and say to myself, “this is perfect for a gift guide”.
So I came up with a gift guide that I’m very happy with.
I told my friends at Singley + Mackie that I was planning a good gift guide and asked them if they’d like to sponsor it. I asked them to please provide one of the suggested items for one of my readers and a Gucci Fiat for me.
Clearly there was a misunderstanding because I’m not getting a car but one of you is getting an XBox Kinect Bundle. Below the gift guide you’ll get entry instructions.
Good luck!
Hmm must have… I do love the Fiat. But I suppose I’ll go with the Kinect, since that’s a little (ok, a lot!) more reasonable.
The XBOX 360 w/Kinect is a must have! Without a doubt! ;-)
I think the XBOX 360 bundle is a TOTAL must-have item
That beard beanie is all kinds of awesome. I wonder if they include a mustache as well…
Give me two weeks and I can grow a real mustache for you. ;)
Gucci Fiat, please Santa… I’ve been nice but I’d be naughty to get one of these.
XBOX! Love it :)
I’d be naughty or nice if Santa got me a Gucci Fiat! More likely to get myself the Bamboo Cutting Board. Great Gift Guide!
Me thinks me need ze beanie!
Realistically I would use the bamboo cutting board! However I love the beard hat I wanted to buy one for my chef so bad but can’t justify the cost of the gag gift LOL
the xbox or flatware although that beard beanie is really funny
I need that roll-around alarm clock for myself!
The Xbox bundle for sure- but I am a female so um, hand me that pretty blue Tiffany’s necklace.
I have one car (van) and 6 people in my family. If anyone needs a little tiny designer car that they have to drive without the kids, it’s me.
The XBox bundle looks pretty darn good to me, but I so do the Bose Noise cancelling headphones. Well, if I was lucky enough to win anything I would be grateful and gracious.
the tiffany necklace
I love your gift guide, way cool! I think that Geeky spy watch is pretty cool and something that either of my children (or hubby) would love!
I would like to have the noise cancelling headphones – my children would probably say the xbox is the must have.
While a Gucci Fiat is right up my alley…suffice it to say I’d more likely get the beard beanie in MY stocking…so I’d be forced to share it with the other half.
Wii Family game night!!
Give me the Gucci 500…yeah I know.
The one must have gift would be the Xbox Kinect because that’s all my son wants for Christmas.
The pampered chef cutting board is a total must have for me. I’ll never enough of them.
Cutting boards are definitely on my list. I could also benefit from Clocky, though I wouldn’t enjoy it.
I really need those headphones. You know, just for wearing around the house.
I do know. I really really do
I want to win this xbox because my nephews want one so bad and their parents can’t afford it this Christmas due to a downsizing:( If I win,I am giving it to them.
We’d love to win this because I think it would be wonderful for game nights, and helping my kids stay active and to help with some autism therapies
No Christmas in our house, so we don’t “need” anything on the list, but
if I did need to buy gifts, I must admit this is a pretty nice gift guide (except, what is a beard beanie? I just do not get it)
This would be great to have at my parent’s house. Seriously, my son is always bored there and there are no kids in the neighborhood.
Helloooo Gucci Fiat! But *if* I’m being practical, the cutting board. Sigh, boring but necessary.
I have the Pampered Chef cutting board and I love it to pieces!
The cutting board for sure.
Love the Gucci Fiat!
How can you go wrong with Tiffany??
I kind of want to say the Tiffany necklace is a must-have. I just think everyone should own at least one Tiffany item. I’ll never forget my first bracelet from there. It happened to be after my husband forgot our anniversary and someone at work told him he had BETTER get me something from Tiffany’s to make up for it… totally worked. :)
I’d love to win the xbox- my son has been begging for one. We don’t have any video game systems since our wii died.
Thank you for the chance!Steph
This is awesome!
XBox Kinect Bundle is a must have. It’ll be very ideal for family game night!
I must have that beard beanie
The XBox Kinect Bundle would be great for the kids and I love the Beard Beanie for my husband and I would love the Clic Clac H Cuff!
Noise cancelling headphones are a must-have for people that are surrounded by idiots. (I’m not, but used to be, and needed these badly.)
Ok, that is an awesome gift guide! I would love to have it all;). Especially that car!
Wow – this is amazing :) cool! :)
The Gucci Fiat… obvi.
My hubby would say the Kinect and I like that too but I would lean toward the Fiat myself!
Well….If I couldn’t have the Gucci Fiat or Hermes Clic Clac H Cuff which clearly are “must haves” then I’d be thrilled to have to “settle” for the XBox Kinect Bundle!!!! ;~)
The Jawbone Jambox is hot.
Rafflecopter ;-) I wish I would have thought of that.
I like the hermes cuff!
The “must have” would be the Gucci Fiat IF it wasn’t being laughingly advertised as the car that Jennifer Lopez pretends to drive to Harlem. But since that is a thing, I choose XBox. Because playing Skyrim alongside my boyfriend is cooler than anything, especially things named “J. Lo”.
The Kinect! I’m also pretty intrigued by that cutting board…
THE must have are the Bose Noise-Cancelling headphones. Those things are worth their weight in gold, even when you aren’t listening to anything with them.
If the noise cancelling headphones were not $300, they’d definitely be on the list for my 10y/o. They’d be great to help him with his sensory processing and auditory processing disorders.
The headphones would be nice. I have a clockie (still in its box).
Noise canceling headphones sound great!
The Xbox 360 with Kinect is a must have.
Kinect for Xbox is a must have gift fun for the whole family
While I love the idea of the XBox w/ Kinect, my kid would likely get the biggest kick out of the night vision mission video watch.
That Clocky looks interesting, but I think my teens would need something that rips the sheets off their bed and maybe splashes cold water on them. Or is that cruel?
We’ve been pricing the XBox and Kinect since my kids tried it out last month and just loved it.
While I love the xbox and Madden 12 I have to say the Beard Beanie is TOO awesome. I think I need one for my son ha!
My mom always buys a few family gifts for us, I’m adding the Family Game Night to our list! Great gift guide Jessica, posting this to my Facebook.
The xbox of course! :)
The Kinnect is a must have on my kids Christmas list. I wish I could get it for them, so unless one falls from the sky they will have to wait till a Birthday, but none the less I think its on EVERYONES list who owns a Xbox 360!
Kinect! And, of course, the Hermes cuff! :)
elizabethglassturner (at) gmail (dot) com
Kinect for XBox for the boys
The Hermes Cuff
the wd tv live hub
Love the cuff, but the Xbox would be awesome – we have tons of games that we never use bc we still haven’t gotten one.
The XBox is a MUST HAVE!!
xbox!!
I do believe my family would love for me to win the KINECT, but I have an eye on the “Clocky”!! ;)
The 360, its something the whole family can enjoy doing together, especially in our freezing northwest cold winters
I think the X-Box 360 is definitely a must have but the beard hat is pretty sweet as well.
The noise-cancelling headphones for my daughters to watch/listen to movies with.
Oooo… The x Box or clocky would be cool!
The Knork Flatware is a must have
KellywcuATyahooDOTcom
I have a friend who owns a consulting business with her husband and they both work from home. She wears those Bose headphones to let her husband know she’s “in the zone” and not to bother her. Fabulous! A must have indeed. (Though not sure it would really work with my kids!) And obviously the Beard Beanie – who wouldn’t want that?
the x-box 360
Definately the Kinect…that would be an awesome gift!
The Kinect has turned into a must have for our family. I’m liking many items from you gift guide!
The Kinect Bundle is a must-have! My kids want one so bad… as do I and my husband!

I am so getting the Beard Beanie for my husband, love it.
I think the cutting board is a must! I have something similar and love! Great for any mom grandma or girlfriend!
Thinking of getting one for daughters babysitter…
I am SO jonesing for the Xbox Kinect. We actually went out on Black Friday to try and get it from Walmart, but we were too late. Great guide! You rock.
PS I could totally rock that beard beanie too.
PPS I think your likey thingy is broken cuz I did a bunch of the stuff and it won’t let me push it’s buttons. Wait did I just say that out loud? It sounded dirty.
um, the Fiat is a total must-have! But of course, the beard beanie is a close second. :)
Xbox Kinect, Baby! That would be fab!
I’d love a Kinect of course but I’m with you on the Gucci Fiat!!!
The Fiat and the caption crack me up. I think my kid would want the spy watch tho.
I’m going to have to say the XBox though there are some great things on there!! :)
Hasbro Family Game Night is a must have!
I’m especially liking the Kinect, Beanie Beard, and the cute Clocky!
spy net watch would be good
The gucci fiat….obviously ;)
The family game night for the wii is my favorite.
ohh I want the XBox so bad… I would settle for the Fiat, though :)
My 4 kids say the XBox is the must-have. Luckily they also tell me that I don’t have to buy it cause Santa is bringing it!! Good thing! haha
I would love to win this!
The XBOX 360 for sure!
for me, the xbox!! for a friend, the beard beanie would be hilarious.
the xbox would be great to have.
Other than the XBOX I’d love to get my husband the beard beanie – how cool is that – do they make them for kids too?! I will have to check!
The kinect is a must have, what a great way to have fun in the winter time!
Must-have — the Clocky. Pre-teens need wakeup help.
HA, love the clock that rolls! I agree, totally need this for my kids for the New Year!
I absolutely love the Clic-Clac bracelet…
The Tiffany Double Heart Pendant is a must have! Love it!!
katie at coverbutton dot net
The XBOX 360!!
the return to tiffany neckalce-love it.
the WD TV live hub… so this middle age mama can get with the program and get her techie on. (and the kinect would be nice too, to get me moving and get rid of some of that middle aged spread!)
Definitely the XBox 360 Kinect Bundle!!!
the x box
The Xbox Bundle. My toddlers will be able to use the Kinect much better than the Wii remotes :)
WD TV Live Hub, that gets my geeky side excited.
I LOVE the WD hub… you would love it.
Alas, you’re entered for the kinect instead.
I’d love the Kinect bundle — I’d never be able to get 3 car seats in the back of that cute Fiat.
Totally must have the Xbox Kinect. Although that Hermes cuff is pretty killer.
I am intrigued by the Jawbone Jambox would one be enough for the whole room?
yep, it’s fantastic.
It’s all about that spy watch! speaking of, if you’re ever in the DC area, I’m sure your son would adore the spy museum =)
I think the Jawbone Jambox is a must have. Mmmm….squishy…
Kinetic, of. Course.
AT my house everyone would definitely say they couldn’t live without their XBox 360!!
nancyecdavis AT bellsouth DOT net

The family will want the Xbox but I want to get the clocky for my teenager so the annoying ‘I overslept’ will stop!
the xbox is a must have!
The Xbox Kinect is a must-have! =)
My must have is the Bose Noise Canceling Headphones!
The Xbox with Kinect is a complete must have! Much better than any other video game system out there.
Both of my kids are getting headphones for Christmas but I want those Bose headphones, especially for work! And I think we’d all like that Jambox.
But the Kinect, that’s definitely on the family wish list!
One kid should get the Clocky, but I think the family will vote for the Xbox with Kinect.
I’m sure my kids would vote for the XBOX Kinect! (Me? I’ll take the Gucci Fiat!)
The Hermes H cuff needs to get on my wrist! I have lusted after it all year. That is my must-have.
I would go for the Xbox 360 Kinect unit! :D
I know the kinect is a must have this season.
The Beard Beanie is the must have gift of the season, nay year!

It is amazing of you people to give away stuff especially during a holiday season. I would love to win the xbox with kinect, it will be shocking and heart warming to win. I HOPE I DO AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL :)

The Xbox Kinect bundle for sure. My family would have an awesome time with this setup.
The Kinect is the MUST HAVE!!
Kinect XBox! We would so enjoy…
Ok, I’d have to say the FIAT, but that’s unrealistic for myself lol so I’d have to say a MUST HAVE is the XBox Kinect!
My heart belong to the Hermes, but the Kinect would be almost as fun. Although heavy to wear as an accessory.
I think the Kinect is a must have!
I want the Kinect sooo bad! It is my must have. Although to be honest, I’d wouldn’t be said if the Gucci Fiat showed up at my house.
The beard Beanie is a must have
