Cool Tricks Feature and Giveaway

Cool Tricks, my sponsor, offers an array of holiday gift options including baby bibs, potholder sets, ornaments, quilts and most importantly, toys!  I'm always searching for unconventional gifts, something special and different.

This Retro Red Potholder Set would make a wonderful and affordable hostess gift

Playtime Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich is perfect for your budding chef!

This Plush Birdie would make a lovely grabby toy or pillow for the little one in your life!

This Giant Octopus would be a giant hit under the tree!

What a perfect gift for baby!  This Little Critters Reversible Quilt
