Over the river and through the woods… whether it’s to Grandma’s house you go, or to the airport for a flight to see family, or just keeping up with all the holiday activities, Vessi shoes are a great gift option for any adventure.

Or opt for the Weekend Chelsea that is a combo of both. This cool weather staple combines the comfort of a sneaker with the coverage and warmth of a boot. Plus don’t forget the kids! The entire family can stay dry for any upcoming adventure.
ART AND PAINT PLAY
Parents are always looking for ways to keep the kids entertained and also fresh gift ideas. We love board games and older kids get into the multi-player video games but we found a great art activity for all ages. The Crayola Paint Pendulum is easy to set up, and use — all the paint is washable — and the price point is super budget-friendly.
Our kids enjoyed mixing the paint to create colors and spinning the pendulum to create fun designs. We love that it is all contained in an arena-style creative zone, which keeps the paint all in one area. And yes, it is washable paint! A fun idea is to have the kids create Christmas ornaments or gift tags using their Crayola Paint Pendulum.
If you need time to cook, or visit with adult relatives, kids and siblings can do this together! Plus it’s a great gift idea to round out the presents under the Christmas tree.
BUILDING MEMORIES: LEGOLAND HOLIDAYS
If you’re still looking for a holiday trip, Legoland California is perfect for families especially with all their Holiday offerings. Celebrate the season with Jingle Jamboree, Elf Training and Fireworks. Meet LEGO Santa, take a picture in front of the LEGO tree and snack on seasonal treats.
Whether you make it to the park this year or not, give the gift of Legoland California tickets! Any kid will be thrilled to find these under the tree with future excitement set on a San Diego trip to experience more than 60 rides and shows, and attractions. Miniland USA is a family highlight as it has 55 San Diego landmarks making it so fun to stroll and take in the “sights” of the city.
Depending on the time of year for your trip you can also enjoy Legoland Water Park and Sea Life Aquarium. Plus, keep the party going and extend all the fun with a sleepover and book a room at the Legoland Hotel or the Castle Hotel!
TECH TO PROTECT WHILE AWAY
Even if you have the best neighbors, there is only so many times you can only ask them to watch your home. Whether it is a holiday vacation or just package protection, we love having peace of mind when we travel with Vivint Smart Security Systems. People always ask us why Vivint?
When it comes to the holiday season, packages are being dropped at the door and you want to make sure that they make it to the stockings or under the tree and aren’t swiped by a porch pirate. One of the things we like about our Vivint Smart Security System is the doorbell camera. It not only notifies me on my phone when I have a package, but it uses Smart Deter enhanced with computer vision chip technology. The Doorbell Camera Pro intuitively detects deliveries and lurkers. When the camera spots someone trying to take a package, it activates a bright LED ring and 90 dB speaker, letting the potential thief know they’ve been caught on camera.
At Vivint, the Future of Smart Home is also the Future of Smart Energy. If a home is smart, it is energy efficient. It works for the homeowner while conserving and efficiently using energy. Vivint currently offers a wide range of energy-focused smart home devices. By leveraging algorithms and data analysis, these devices dynamically adjust energy settings, such as temperature control, lighting, and appliance usage, to ensure optimal comfort and efficiency. For example, Smart Thermostat and Smart Lighting seamlessly work together to create welcoming sanctuary that meets all the homeowner’s individual needs. The environment can be monitored and adjusted remotely via the mobile app, giving any homeowner complete customizable control of their experience and energy usage. This proactive approach to energy management reduces unnecessary energy consumption. It not only helps customers to save on utility costs, but also contributes to a greener and more sustainable future.
We also love how easy Vivint Smart Security Systems are to use. There’s a smart home hub that enables me to control everything but I can also use my phone. If I forget to lock the door, I can do that through my phone. Vivint Smart Security System you can set up a notification when doors open or when motion is detected on your camera an alert is sounded.
