When it comes to the art of gift giving there's so much to consider. How do you come up with an idea? It's always tricky deciding whether they will like what you have in mind or if they already have it. You may prefer to get a list from people so you can choose something you know they want or perhaps you just pick up on subtle (or not so subtle) hints and make your own. How do you find most of the presents that you give to friends and family? Do you shop at local stores and boutiques, order online, shop at retail stores, order though catalogues or create fabulous homemade gifts?
We'd like to help a little with this season's gift buying and gather the collective experience from SheSpeaks members, gifts you've received that just keep on giving or gifts you've given that have been a huge hit. We'd like to hear them all!
To be entered to win one of our prizes this week, simply create a review for a gift you or your children have received and loved, and please include a recommended age if it is for a child.

I have the Oral-B Professional Care 1000 Electric Rechargeable Power Toothbrush. They clean teeth so much better and everytime you brush, it feels like you just got out of the dentist's office for 6 month cleaning. very worth the penney. i highly recommend everyone to invest in this product.
I submitted a review fot Too Faced Glamour To Go 2 Pocket Palette. This is a great product and fits perfectly in your bag when traveling or in your purse. Would make a perfect gift for anyone of any age.
I just reviewed the WII Fit https://twitter.com/#!/RUtheMOMof/status/142616736854851584
Broadway Basketeers Chocolate Heaven Gourmet Chocolate Gift Tower is the perfect gift for my Aunt who I only see a couple times a year. She has alot including a sweet tooth. So chocolate is the perfect gift for her and her family every year.
When my SO bought a nintendo WII last year I though to myself - what is a 3yr old gonna do with a WII. Now I thank him every day for this fantastic gift. Not only does it have games for her to play but a lot of educational ones that are preparing her for preschool. The other advantage is for us both. I purchased a dance game & we both do it together and have so much fun. The greatest gift was when I stepped on the scale a month later and saw how much weight I lost. So this unexpected gift from him was the best and I thank him every day.
I reviewed my son's Twilight Turtle!
The oral B toothbrush is a wonderful addition to any bathroom. Its one of the best clean feeling.
OralB is the best. Been using one for about 5 years. Also helps with bad breath.
I created a review for the Bebe Au Lait Family Ties Star Jewelry Set! :)
i gave a review for wii fit! the whole family loves it!
I just submitted a review for my Samsung Galaxy S 2 phone. I received it as a gift about 2 months ago and I love it.
I reviewed the Le Creuset Dutch Oven! I bought one for my Mom two years ago at Christmas time and she absolutely love it! You can make anything in it... it can go from burner to oven and back to burner and has shown very little wear to it at all! On another note.. I've been looking for a nice wine chiller! I'd love to have the Oster one...
This may sound old fashioned, but one of the best gifts I still like giving and getting are puzzles. With all the new electronic technology these days it's nice to sit down as a family and work on something together. Puzzles allow learning along with time spent with family and they have 10 piece puzzles up to 3000 for every age group.
I reviewed my Kindle :)
