Winning products represent categories such as baby, kids, pet care, beauty/skincare, household/laundry, food and home décor.

My family and I got to review these items and here are some of our favorites that can be used before, during and after any vacation or staycation…

Giveaway, Product of the Year, Free, Enter to Win, Snackeez

2015 Product of the Year Giveaway: Great Items for home and away

My daughter claimed the Snackeez right away! This great invention is part cup and part snack holder making it ideal for home and away. Now that her car seat features a cup holder, this will be a must-have for future road trips.

Need some snacks for your next trip, the Werther’s Original caramel popcorn and the new Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups were delicious. They pretty much disappeared in one day…

If you’re planning a pampering staycation, I highly recommend the Dial Greek Yogurt body wash and the Hada Labo Tokyo Ultimate Anti-Aging Mask, a 10-minute facial that left my skin feeling revitalized after a long, harsh winter. Guys can get in on the pampering too with Dial For Men Power Scrub, Gold Bond No Mess Powder Spray and Gold Bond Ultimate Rough & Bumpy Skin Daily Therapy Cream.

Parents who are planning a trip in the middle of potty training will have a stress-free trip putting their kids to bed wearing GoodNites Tru-Fit Underwear.

Ladies who want to get bikini ready will love the Yes! by Finishing Touch™ personal groomer.

The worst part about coming home from vacation is all the dirty laundry so I was super happy that Tide Ultra Stain Release laundry detergent was among the winning products.

Check out the complete list of the 2015 Product of the Year Winners here.

Dreaming of a safari themed …

Did you honeymoon in South Africa? Are you a huge fan of bold Chevron and stripes? Do you just love the idea of a safari theme for your new baby? If so, you will adore these safari themed baby nursery prints from Etsy’s SweetLittleBarn shop (discount code below)!

These 8×10 prints, available in single or coordinating groups, feature designs that are cute but not too cutesy which is usually the case with a lot of animal-themed nursery decor. I love the range of colors – from baby pinks and blues to bold yellows and grays – and styles.

These are my favorites:

When I say Skittles do you think candies in a rainbow of colors or a bowling-type game???? They’re both right answers but today I’m talking about the old European lawn game which inspired ten-pin bowling, candlepin bowling in the US and five-pin bowling in Canada.

I love the idea of incorporating toys into a nursery’s decor and these cheerful Skittles sets will add just the right splash of color and fun.

These sailor skittles would be a great addition to a nautical themed nursery or a Mediterranean inspired room.

This set of Penguin Skittles from Muji is adorable for a zoo inspired nursery or Antarctica themed room.

This rare mini French Clowns Skittles set dates back to the 1930s and would add a vintage feel to any primary colored nursery or playroom.

This adorable Soldier Skittle Set from MiniStyle is perfect for a Royal baby themed nursery or a great way to add a pop of color into any room.

Did babyproofing your living room mean getting rid of your coffee table? Mine did.

If you’ve got a little one running around like a mad man, here are some fun travel-inspired poufs that can add extra seating and double as a table (just put a tray on top but don’t bring out the wine glasses until after bedtime)…

Traveling First Class? Moroccan Poufs have stood the test of time and this tres chic version from Serena and Lily comes in an array of grown-up and kiddie colors (bronze, silver, white, tan, turquoise, lime and pink!). These are a great option for living room or nursery. You can definitely pass this one down to the next generation (unless someone gets hold of the Sharpies…)

Traveling Coach? This vintage travel inspired Sam Moore Ottoman would be super cute in a travel themed nursery or playroom.

Globetrotting Mommy – Vintage Travel Pouf

Traveling Economy? This Indian inspired pouf from Etsy is made from old saris, vintage fabrics and seashells and comes in a whole slew of gorgeous colors. This is just perfect for a bohemian chic nursery or teen bedroom.
