A Gift To Fit Every Size and Every Age - Body Design Gift Certificates

Can you believe it?  Christmas is coming.

Some years I get my mom something she can wear. Other years I get her something practical and in between I pick up some sort of new technology that I think she should be updated on.  Most years she doesn't like it, it doesn't fit, it's not her style and she doesn't want to learn one more thing that has to do with technology.

So what have I learned? My "go-to" gift every year is a Body Design gift certificate.
 
A gift certificate from Body Design is always appreciated because it is the versatile gift that has something for everybody. Recipients can choose from personal training sessions, fitness classes, massage, facials, body treatments and more.

Call Kathleen or Amanda at 949.719.2600 or e-mail getfit@bodydesignonline.com.

My Favorite Everything Reviews "Look Who Is Coming..." By Vazu Kids

"Look Who Is Coming...", my new go to gift to give this holiday to the new moms on my list, was just featured today on the new blog "My Favorite Everything".

You can read why Shanna Coady, the expert on favorite things to make your busy life brighter, loves this book. The review comes with amazing photos of how easy it is to insert your photos into the book, making it interactive for your children.

READING AND LEARNING GETS PERSONAL WITH “LOOK WHO IS COMING…” THE PREMIERE TITLE FROM VaZu KIDS

Irvine, CA - November 10, 2009 -- "Look Who Is Coming...", the premiere title from VaZu Kids is a charming, interactive tale that is personalized for each child via the inclusion of photos of friends, family and other special people in the child's life.

Designed for children 8 months and up, "Look Who Is Coming..." allows your child to take the starring role in the storytelling and is the perfect book to incorporate friends, family favorite animals and more by simply sliding a photo into the built in tabs.

Everyone from teachers to mothers and grandmothers love the interactive element of this book. "With this book, a child is given the opportunity to essentially create his or her own story. By using the unique approach of personalizing through photos, this book not only helps children identify colors, objects and numbers, it also presents a whole new method of learning that is both practical and fun," says Elizabeth Pernik, long-time educator and grandmother of 3.

Experience the simplistic beauty of the illustrations as "Look Who Is Coming..." stimulates your child and contributes to his or her development. "Look Who Is Coming..." will encourage your child to count, identify people, object and colors and develop facial recognition and fine motor skills while following different friends along the way.

While "Look Who Is Coming..." is a perfect book for all young children, the concept for the book was born specifically to address the needs of hte author's young son who was diagnosed with Autism. Determined to use all the tools at their disposal to help their son overcome his daignosis, what began as pictures taped to sheets of plain white paper evolved into a colorful, engaging story book about all the most important people in their son's life.

Follow the link below to click through the book and view the instructional video to learn how to insert your own personal photos and personalize "Look Who Is Coming..."

http://www.vazukids.com/

"Look Who Is Coming..." was designed and written by Zuma Ayriyan and John Khachatryan and illustrated by Lenley Makela. It is currently available on Amazon.com and in select bookstores and children's stores nationwide. "Look Who Is Coming..." retails for $13.99.
