Here at As Seen on TV Network, a debate started as to the top Holiday gift ideas under $25 to give each other for the Network Holiday White Elephant Gift Exchange. After much debating, haggling, joking and then, finally, a serious discussion, we at As Seen on TV Network came up with a definitive Top Ten List of Holiday Gift Ideas under $25.

The As Seen on TV Network Top Ten Are as Follows:

10) Blendy Blasta and Blendy Pens

A couple of great arts and craft gift ideas for kids. Blendy Pens can be blended together to create unique and vibrant colors. And with the Blasta you can airbrush Blendy Pens either separately or together. Blendy Pens also come with scented pens and a bevy of templates to use for both coloring and stenciling shapes. You can get a rather extensive set of Blendy Pens for about $25. Blendy Pens will likely be snatched up early by those with kids and will probably be stolen a couple times in the white elephant gift exchange unless a participant has already procured the #9 item…

9) Water Wow

From the makers of Blendy Blasta and Blendy Pens comes a refreshing, less messy coloring toy for kids just learning to draw. With Water Wow, kids dip their coloring pen in water, color-in the pictures and discover vibrant, amusing designs. The pictures are reusable so kids can use them again and again. Water Wow also comes with a Doodle Board and 2 n 1 desktop for kids’ entertainment. Like Blendy Pens, a nice Water Wow set can be procured for about $25.

8 ) Craft-Lite Cutter

There’s always someone in a white elephant gift exchange that likes to scrapbook and make memories. Craft-Lite Cutter is perfect for the scrapbooker in your world. The beauty of Craft-Lite Cutter is that it has a backlight that shines along the cut line so users can see where they’re cutting. Craft-Lite Cutter also comes with different blades for different design cuts. Craft-Lite Cutter is available for about $25 dollars.

7) Green Bags

Why Green Bags? Because during the holidays, someone always makes a dessert or cuisine you wish you could take home with you. Green Bags come 20 bags for about $10 and preserves fruits and vegetables longer than traditional sealable bags.

6) Buxton Bag

As previously posted on the As Seen on TV Network Blog, Buxton Bag is the perfect shopping tool for the holidays. Complete with extra space and pockets for holiday coupon storage and holiday snacking items, Buxton Bag will prepare you for the shopping battlegrounds. About $25 will get you your own Buxton Bag.

5) ZorBEEZ

During a White Elephant Gift Exchange, a battle will take place for one specific gift. A small tussle will ensue and a drink will get spilled, maybe 2 drinks. Be prepared for the spillage with ZorBEEZ. With the ability to hold 27 times its weight in liquid, ZorBEEZ is perfect to handle even the biggest of spills. ZorBEEZ are reusable and you can get 10 of them for about $25. Also, anything sold by Billy Mays is generally considered “cool.”

4) Hercules Hook

Speaking of “cool” things sold by Billy Mays – Hercules Hook can hang, hold and secure up to 150 lbs. without the need for drywall anchors, hammers, screws or drills. Hang pictures, golf clubs, shelves and more on your walls and when it’s time to move your hung item, the Hercules Hook only leaves a pin-sized hole. Complete a homemaker’s holiday season with the potent Hercules Hook. You can get a set of 10 Hercules Hooks for about $25.

3) Aqua Globes

Billed as “the work of art that waters your plants,” Aqua Globes has gone on to lead a dual life as both a work of art and a plant watering system. Made of hand-blown glass, Aqua Globes will automatically water plants for up to two weeks at a time between refills and can also be a source for arts and crafts. Use them for Holiday decorations, Christmas tree ornaments and more. And for smaller potted plants, try Mini Aqua Globes. both full sized and Aqua Globes can be found for under $25.

2) Steam Buddy

As previously posted on As Seen on TV Network Blog, Steam Buddy gives you a quick, efficient, professional-quality steam cleaning of your garments and furnishings without having to schedule for a professional appointment. Remove wrinkles from your holiday clothes, drapes, tablecloths and more with the little Steam Buddy. The Steam Buddy can be purchased for about $25.

1) Bendaroos

Intrigued, the coffee drinker sips the wrung coffee and to his surprise, the coffee still tastes good.

Aqua Globes initially began as an automatic plant watering system. Just fill the aqua globe with water, stick into the soil of your potted plant and let Aqua Globes do the rest. But these works of art that water your plants have been taking on a double-life: a home and garden decoration. It was this additional life that made The As Seen on TV Network wonder whether or not Aqua Globes could take on an additional life: a Holiday decoration / ornament.

The curiosity grabbed the network’s attention. If you are becoming inspired by the idea, remember to consider the following ideas:

1. Aqua Globes are made with hand-blown glass so if you plan to illuminate them with the old AC Holiday / Christmas lights, be careful because the Aqua Globes could melt around the light source.

2. If anyone decides to illuminate the Aqua Globe while trying to use the Aqua Globe for its primary purpose (a plant self-watering system), remember electricity and water do not mix. Be careful.

3. Using the Aqua Globes outside in cold, wintry weather could cause the Aqua Globes to crack or shatter so it might be a good idea, if you’re intent on using them for outdoor holiday decorations, to make your Currier and Ives scene, take a picture, and then take the globes back inside.

(Note: As Seen on TV Network is not an authoritative source for product uses, specified or unspecified. As Seen on TV Network was simply curious.)

Aqua Globes Announcement:

Call it a Teaser moreso than an announcement. We’ve recently come across user feedback that said they users liked Aqua Globes but wished that they came in smaller sizes. Well, those users as well as users who share similar sentiments will be happy to know that it sounds like Aqua Globes is coming out with a product line in the near future that could address this concern.

Call this a “Mini” teaser. We’ll pass on more definitive information when we get it.

And a Reminder:

Aqua Globes makes the holiday perfect gift for the green thumbs in your world as well as for the frequent travelers on your holiday gift lift. Perfect for house, small, large, hanging and exotic plants, Aqua Globes watering bulbs is an attractive combination of style and substance for you indoor plant life.

Now, what would happened if someone used Aqua Globes to water their Christmas Tree or Poinsettia?

My aunt, uncle and cousin flew in from the left coast Monday night for Thanksgiving week. The fearsome trio of my mother, sister and aunt will be attacking the malls during the week, scouring for deals. They’ll come up with great holiday gift ideas that we didn’t know we needed but now we’ll never be able to live without. Imagine my surprise Monday night of Thanksgiving week when after dinner my grandfather, returning the favor in advance by bringing out six gifts, two for each dedicate shopper. He told them that these would aide them in their holiday shopping endeavors.

Each one of the lady shopping warriors received a Digital Message Reminder and a Buxton Bag.

My initial comment to my grandfather was that he needs to quit watching so my TV, but as I looked back to our shopping army, I became overwhelmed at how vivaciously my family’s shopping army poked, prodded, opened, closed, zipped and unzipped the many compartments of this over the shoulder organizer. Especially my sister, a high-fashion retail merchandiser. She was getting a kick out of the Buxton Bag.

“A purse for heavy duty shopping,” my sister remarked.

“Wow, I can put my cell phone in this pocket,” amazed my aunt.

“And I can put my camera in this pocket,” marveled my mom. The astonishments went on and on.

“And the advertisement has a guy putting in two bottles of water,” remarked my grandfather. Of course, my family went to the fridge, got bottles of water out and put the theory to the test. The Buxton bag passed with flying colors.

My family reports from the shopping lines that the Buxton Bag is more than up to the shopping challenge. In addition to all the items my aunt, mom and sister normally have in their purse, I’m told they each have extra space for goodies. My aunt has the bottled waters, my mom has the sandwiches, and my sister has the 2-lb bags of chocolate goodies. My aunt has also reminded herself via her Digital Message Reminder to go to Baskin Robbins and get the Pumpkin Ice Cream and to thank my grandfather with a reciprocal gift - a taco. A taco is something he’s never had before but now will never be able to live without. And the gift-giving cycle continues.

Thank you, Buxton Bag, for equipping the shoppers in my family with tools that will better allow them to navigate the shopping centers of Chicago.

Malls beware.

The holiday season means those old carpets are going to be put to the test when family, friends and loved ones come calling. Holiday cake and cookie crumbs, pets, children and the black sheep uncle who won’t take off his snowy, muddy boots, your carpets are going to need professional-quality steam carpet cleaner treatments both before the holiday madness begins and then again when the rush is over.

Calling a professional carpet cleaner to come in both before and after is one approach but it’s costly, timely and you have to work on the cleaner’s schedule. Not only that, but when those carpets need cleaning, again, you’ll have to go through the process, again.But, alas, something needs to be done with those embarrassing rags. Those gut-wrenching stains and noticeable spots need to be removed five minutes ago so the holiday guests won’t see them.

Instead of the logistical, expensive hassle of depending on someone else, try a simple, proven solution that can be done on your time, as frequently as you would like and will give you the professional carpet cleaning results you desire:  Rug Doctor Mighty Pro.

With over 35 years of dedicated experience, the Rug Doctor Mighty Pro steam cleaner will vacuum and steam away all the dirt, grime, dust, pollen, food and hazardous gunk that forms between the fibers, leaving your carpets fresh, new, and smelling great. Not only will your carpets be conditioned to handle the onslaught of the current holiday season but Rug Doctor Mighty Pro will better prepare your carpets for many holiday seasons to come.

Try Rug Doctor Mighty Pro risk-free for 30 days. Useful tools and assets that come with the Rug Doctor Mighty Pro include a 5-year limited consumer warranty, a universal hand tool, pre-treatment sprays and a bevy of steam cleaning systems and cleaners to revitalize the spirit of your old carpets right out of the box.

And, for beginners, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the Rug Doctor Problem Stain Solutions Guide, the definitive manual for conquering dozens of those hard-to-remove stains.Feel proud enough of your carpets to host holiday gatherings year after year after year after… or maybe just this year.

This is by far one of the coolest gadgets to come across by desk. Everyone has a box full of film negatives and slides laying around. They’re easy to ignore, especially in the day of digital photos. Well, now you don’t need to let your memories sit in a musty box. You can take your old negatives and slides and put them into your digital photo libraries with the Scantastic Slide and Negative scanner. With the advent of digital photography, many of us have forgotten about our pre-digital lives because those film pictures don’t factor into our new digital based lives. Well, now there is an easy way to scan your old film negatives and slides and add them easily to your digital photo libraries.

The Scantastic Slide and Photo Scanner is an easy to use tool that quickly makes high quality scans of slides and negatives.

The slide scanner creates 5 MegaPixel quality scans. Scantastic is also designed to be a film scanner and can make equally as impressive picture negative scans. The film to digital converter resolution of 5 Megapixel means that you can make poster size blow up of all your old pictures.

I like the convenience of the Scatastic slide and film negative scanner. Many photolabs will provide a similar service, but it can be expensive and the quality is sometimes less than you would expect. This clever little device gives complete control of your film to digital conversion. Included software allows you edit and manipulate your scanned images.

The Scantastic will make a great gift for the holidays and it’s very reasonably priced. I know I’m going to pick up a few for the holidays. My family members will love the Scantastic Slide and Film Scanner.
