My sister-in-law is amazing at picking out gifts. It truly is a talent. And then there is me. I can never find what I want or the prices are too high for my budget. I am giddy when I finally find a product perfect for each person on my list.
If you struggle with gift ideas as well, here are three new products that you may want to add to your gift-giving list.
Three Ellie Claire Journals Review
Sweet Pea loves to write her name. I often wondered what it was about her name that enamored her so much. One day it hit me that it isn’t so much about her name as it is about letters. She {LOVES} drawing letters and making the font vary depending on the need.
If you also like drawing words and Scripture, I invite you to look at the new Ellie Claire journals: The Illustrated Word, Faith and Lettering Journal, and Illuminate Your Story.
The Faith and Lettering Journal is our favorite as it guides you to learn to “draw” Scriptures. Examples, practice areas, and blank space allows you to venture out. Sweet Pea scripted the above chalking drawing for our living room. Isn’t it beautiful! Personally, the other two journals were not our style as they incorporate medieval illustrations and manuscript from ancient times, but if you are wanting to learn to draw letters from this time period, check it out!
Sparkle and Change Children’s Bible

After watching the video you can guess that everyone who holds this Bible wants to slide their fingers through the sequins. My kiddos did the same thing!
Beyond the fun cover, The Sparkle and Change Bible by Tommy Nelson features the Full International Children’s Bible text and 24 pages of colorful helps. The larger font makes it easier for a child to read and follow. My favorite part of the Bible is the 300 highlighted key memory verses. Work through these with your child to hide God’s Word in their heart.

Beloved: 365 Devotions for Young Women Giveaway
Sweet Pea is almost finished with her current devo and I am always looking for the next quality one to fill her mind with truth and encouragement.
When I first looked at the Beloved: 365 Devotions for Young Women I was concerned that the daily devos were too short and thus lacking substance. But it didn’t take long to realize that my initial disappointment was premature.
Focusing on the topics that are filling the minds of teen girls, I love how this devo dives into the lives of inspiring girls and women inthe Bible – such as Ruth, Esther, Mary, and Abigail. And by moving through the Bible from Genesis to 2 Timothy, the daily readings build to further explain the Bible to the reader. Each page includes journaling space and 1-2 Bible verses. The devo then explains and makes the verses personal to a teen girl’s life.
I’m excited to place this devo under the Christmas tree for Sweet Pea (age 12).
