I thought that as my children got older that it would become easier and easier to shop for them for things like their birthday or Christmas. Now I realize that I had it made when they were little as it was just toys that they wanted. Yes, I had a struggle with some of those must have toys at Christmas, usually having to jump from store to store to find a particular doll or toy they wanted, with a last resort of paying extra on Ebay or other resale sites, so that they would find most of their wish lists items under the tree on Christmas tree. But, not that my girls are teens, I am struggling not with finding what they want at the stores, but trying to get them things they will actually like and want. They no longer write letters to Santa, and when I ask them what they want, they come back with either "I don't know" or "Whatever." Sorry girls, I can't go to a store and ask for "I don't know" or "Whatever." It is like pulling teeth to get the girls to talk these days, and when they do they respond in as few of words as possible. Do you find your teens and tweens are this way? It drives me crazy sometimes, especially around this time of year when I want to get things that I know they will like and actually use.
Well, this year, I found a saving grace of sorts with a website I learned about back in October. Have you heard of Bioworld? They are the pop-culture product experts and sell officially licensed apparel and accessories online through their Amazon storefront. The folks at Bioworld were kind enough to send along samples of some of their items for review. I wish I had the camera filming the girls when they opened the box, as it reminded me of how they were when they were little and helped with unboxing videos. They both let out shrieks of excitement and couldn't get the contents out of the box fast enough. Both of my girls are big into Hello Kitty, Anime, MANGA, music, and all things video games. So, when they saw the Kirby Casual Ankle Sock 5-Pack Set, Demon Slayer Mixed Icons Knit 5-Pack Women's Ankle Socks, the Bioworld Demon Slayer Varsity Text Cat Mask Men's Black Hoodie & Jogger Set, and the Hello Kitty My Melody Character Face 10 oz. stainless steel travel soda can, they were so happy and loving everything about this box.
They kept is amicable divvying up the contents of the box amongst themselves -- with my youngest getting all the Demon Slayer stuff, and my oldest getting the Kirby socks and the My Melody Stainless Steel Travel Soda Can.
Both of my girls asked where I got cool stuff from, and then grabbed their phones and iPads and started to browse the Bioworld website. By the end of the night, both of my girls had put together a wish list of things they would love to get for Christmas. I couldn't belive it...was I not going to have struggle to this holiday season with finding the perfect gifts for my girls? It was a true Christmas miracle! :-) Then, the girls shared the website with my husband who is all about pop-culture, video gaming and Anime like them, he, too, added wish list items to the shopping cart and told me if I needed ideas for gifts for him, that I could pick up a few things from Bioworld when I placed the girls' orders. I don't want to toot my own horn, but I was able to get the majority of my holiday shopping done for my husband and two girls with only visiting one online website, Bioworld. I was able to skip long lines at the stores, or come home empty handed, and just sit back and wait for my order to arrive at my doorsteps. I am so happy to have been introduced to Bioworld and their amazing offering of officially licensed pop-culture apparel and accessories. It has made shopping for my girls so much easier. Now I don't have to decipher what they want with their "Whatever" responses, and know that when they unwrap their gifts this upcoming Christmas there will be smiles around -- theirs for receiving gifts they like and will wear or use, and mine because I was able to have a stress-free shopping experience, and enjoy quality time with them, while they still want to hang out with the parents. Who knows, maybe this year they will think I am the "cool parent" for scoring them all this great officially licensed gear from their favorite video games, Anime and pop-culture faves.
If you have older kids and find it hard to shop for them, why not check out Bioworld's Amazon storefront? Trust me, once you sit down and start browsing their offering, you find yourself adding items to your cart based on things your kids like. And, soon enough you will have enough gifts ready to ship to your door, and then just have to wrap (or bag). You will get to pat yourself on the back, as you sit back and enjoy the holidays like they were meant to be enjoyed -- peacefully and making memories with your family...and, not stressing about what to buy for your hard to shop for children. You will also find yourself finding things for other hard-to-shop people on your holiday shopping list, too.
80's kids will be happy to find Beetlejuice, Gremlins, The Goonies, and Christmas Vacation items available.
Star Wars, Harry Potter and even Lord of the Rings fanatics also will go crazy with all the wonderful officially licensed apparel and accessories available for purchase. I could go on and on listing the different movies, cartoons, TV, music offerings available from Bioworld, but, instead, why don't you head over to their Amazon storefront and browse their offering for yourself. You will be amazed at all they have to offer.
The hard part will not be going crazy adding everything to your shopping cart. I found myself not only shopping for my girls and husband, but also adding a few things for myself to the cart, for Santa to surprise me with. I can't wait to hear what you found and bought from Bioworld, and how their online Amazon storefront has made shopping for those hard to shop for people in your life so much easier this holiday season. So, be sure to head back to my site and share all the goodies you picked up and will be gifting this holiday season.
