Holiday Gift Giveaway ….Friday

November 5, 2010 By Melanie Roberts

And the Holiday Gift Giveaway for Friday is……

2 winners (!!) will win this Awesome

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Enter If You Dare!
Book


MERRY CHRISTMAS…

Here is my View about this Book.. or should I say My Tween & My Teen’s view as well? You know how hard it is to find “cool” products to give to a teen or a tween who basically has everything.

My Boys love all kind of weird stuff, like I’m sure most boys do. I was thrilled when I was asked to review this Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Enter If You Dare!Book.




I was always fascinated with their books and the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium is in Orlando  or check here for many other locations.  My kids just love to go there and spend the day.

Anyway, back to the book. How about a  11 year old girl catching a monster fish almost 9 ft long and  193 lbs…..? or an Albino Turtle that looks almost identical to a uncooked Christmas Turkey…or a Sea Pig..?? well believe it or Not… there are pictures to proof it..

We made a fun Sunday out of this and all sat on the couch with some Hot Cocoa and cookies and all of us looked thru this book, it really takes hrs. to look thru and I don’t think we even finished yet. It’s amazing the weirdness and the coolness.. fascinating... it’s gross and cool and funny and weird all at the same time.. Guess Believe it or NOT!! ….

My Tween, teen and I all voted and this is a MUST have on any young adults Christmas List. It is a book for the whole family to enjoy and what I love most is every so often one of my teen or tween sneaks off with the book and comes back to say “Hey Mom, did you know …???.” I just love it. I don’t think this book will EVER get old. This book is jam back full on all 242 pages, lots of pictures, info , and lot of  WHAT?? Believe it or NOT!!!

Awesome Book.. It really was a pleasure to reviewing this Book and it will be on our coffee table for a long time to come. My boys already took it to school for show and tell and asked to take it to friends homes, it sure has been a big hit around here…!!

So if you are still looking for that perfect gift for a Teen, a Tween or even any adult .. this sure will be a HIT, it currently is on sale on Amazon.com for $19.11 ( saving of 34%, reg. $28.95) or you could just enter this giveaway for your chance to win one!!!!

    I would give this to my 20 years old son who is still fasinated by the bizarre, strange and wierd. I found out 2 years ago that the reason he likes this stuff is because it makes him feel normal. Hummm, makes ya wonder why he doesn’t feel that way anyways!
