House and Home: Entertaining Holiday Gift Guide

Tweet

TGIF! I have spent almost an hour on Twitter today chatting with people I follow and doing the whole #FollowFriday thing.   Did you see me on there?  Now, it is time to get my Gift Guide put together for you girls!   Today is all about Entertaining… could be dinner, game night, Girls Night Out…

Mom Says:  This didn’t arrive until 7 o’clock last night, so consequently the boys stayed up entirely too late (like 10:30 and on a school night!), but we all had a really good time.  Our favorite is the Family Game Show mode that allows you to spin for mini-games.  We did find that Bop It didn’t totally work.  We have the original Wii controllers, so I am thinking it wasn’t picking up our movements… other than that, it was a super fun game that is great for any child or family!

Diva Girl Party Game

DivaGirl is not just a card game; it’s a party!  Grab your girlfriends, dress up in your favorite Diva wear and get ready for an evening of fun, food and gifts!  You can even pick your own theme for the party – holiday ornament exchange, margarita night, elegant dress night, etc. and make it a night to remember.

Every card in this game is adorned with something every woman loves – champagne, diamonds, facials, lipstick, tropical vacations and more!

How to play:

• Each Diva brings a wrapped “Diva” gift to the party.  The party can be as elegant or as simple as the hostess wants and can fit into any budget! From a bottle of Two buck Chuck, to beautiful bracelet you really wanted to buy for yourself, the gift ideas are endless.  
• As the dealer shows a card, the player with the matching card turns it over. The first player to turn all of her cards over wins the round.  The winner of each round wins a gift..  
• The winner of each round wins a gift or a DivaDollar if she has already won a gift.  At the end of the night, the Diva who has the most DivaDollars is the “Ultimate Diva” and wins a special gift from the hostess.
• The game can be a different theme each time it is played, so you’re always trying something new and different!

Available at Diva Girl Game for $24.95

Mom Says:  This is a great game for college girls, single adult women, married adult women, just girls in general!  We are going to be playing it for our Annual Ornament Exchange.  Girls, get one for your best girl friend, it is like “Girls’ Night Out” in a box!
