BasketBox Review

History

Wow. BasketBox has changed over the years. Some of you may remember our CD/DVD gift boxes. Yep, when they were in style. Then came our creative nuts and fruit gift boxes. That was a blast. Now, here we are with unique hometown apparel and gifts coupled with delicious truffles. What a great combination!

Vision

We all come from a unique place in the world where we are born and raised, which becomes home. You’ll never change that. What does change for some of us is our desire to leave the nest and comfort of home and explore other locations that we adopt as our new hometown. BasketBox is dedicated to promoting and exploring the unique cities and states we call home in our demonyn style apparel and gifts, which inspire conversation, bring back memories and are statements of pride.

Mission

Growing up and struggling to understand basic language skills, reading comprehension, and arithmetic is a silent disease that deserves more support. Each BasketBox order supports the International Dyslexia Association, a non-profit that provides research, education and outreach programs around the world to help those that need dyslexia support and treatment. A portion of each order goes to the IDA to continue to support early detection and remediation of dyslexia. Dyslexia causes reading failure and illiteracy, that can hinder the potential of children and adults to contribute successfully to society. 

Team

BasketBox, first created in 2003 by Emmanuel Sullivan, who is a serial entrepreneur, author, and creative nerd; born and raised in the Emerald city Seattle. His crazy love for traveling and geography has shipped him around the country to various cities where he has called home several times. Each city has inspired wonder and adventure. With that in mind, BasketBox was reborn to explore the Demonym in all of us. Stay in touch and tell me where you're from, I'd love to chat, please contact me here.


My Review: 

BasketBox is a very neat company as you can read above.  They sell t-shirts, pillows, mugs, onesies, and so much more! 

 First comment on the t-shirt needs to be the softness!   It is so comfy and soft which I adore! I think it is my new favorite shirt!   Now many of you know I live in Iowa but did you know I was born and raised in Wisconsin?   I will always stay true to my roots as I cheer on my Packers and Badgers!  

 The many products that BasketBox has would make great gifts to anyone who has been traveling or moving to a new state.    

 Thanks BasketBox for sending me this t-shirt for free in exchange for an honest review.   I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are mine.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
