Portable North Pole 2017 and Magic Pass Giveaway

| Kidding Around Australia

Have you heard of the Portable North Pole 2017? Its a fun website and app that lets you create highly personalized video and phone messages that are delivered directly from Santa in just a few minutes to be viewed (or heard) on the web, your smartphone or tablet.

The video and calls are personalised so that Santa greets children by name (or nickname if your child has a unique name) and shows their picture. Alegria and Isaac were in shock at first, and then loved it!

“Mum, can we watch it again!!!!!!” “Do you think Santa will send us another message?” “How does Santa know my nickname?” (The answer to that one was … He sees you when you’re sleeping …)

Alegria had to watch the video 3 times, to let it all sink in! She couldn’t believe that Santa knew she was 7 years old and in school. She is very happy to know that Santa has picked out some great presents for her!

Isaac is super excited that he is currently on the nice list and on track for some special presents from Santa. He loved seeing how the big book worked and is happy with the photo choice that Santa has included! Apparently, he really LOVES those shoes!!

If you would like to see Isaac’s video, head to our Facebook page!

HOW IT WORKS

By visiting www.portablenorthpole.com, I created personalised messages for both Alegria and Isaac. I had to use a nickname for Alegria and for Isaac had to change the pronunciation as it was the American pronunciation of eye-zik instead of eye-zac.

I then entered details such as name, age, class and uploaded a photograph. Depending on the video you choose, you can also add the gift your child is hoping for. It was quick and simple! I was then able to access it on my phone via the app ( I only let the kids in the special children’s area – which they think is fantastic) and download it in high definition onto my computer.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

It is also via that app that the kids were able to add different filters to their photos and I was able to record them watching their videos.

PNP filter

Santa speaks in four different languages – English, French, Spanish and Italian and there are quite a few package options including free videos (which last for around a minute), options for groups so that kids, such as childcare and preschool groups, enjoy Santa’s greeting together and there are no limits – make as many as you want!

PACKAGES (AU$)

• FREE: 4 unique, customizable videos (Christmas videos for kids, grownups and groups, plus one for Birthdays)
• Single Premium Video ($4.49): Choose from among 6 Premium videos.

Another great aspect is that Portable North Pole donates 5% of all online sales proceeds to children’s hospitals around the world. Since 2012, PNP has donated over $300,000.

Travelling with Pets – Our 5 Top Tips! Win a Years Supply of Bravecto!

| Kidding Around Australia
Sponsored by Bravecto®

If you are like us, you are becoming so busy with end of year parties, school commitments, planning for Christmas and organising a much-needed break for your family that you could easily forget protecting your furry family members!

I’d like to take a moment to remind you to think about protecting your dog from paralysis ticks and fleas especially as you may be travelling with your beloved pooch.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

To help you, we have put together our top 5 tips for travelling with your pets:

  1. PROTECT YOUR PET – Make sure your pet’s vaccinations are up-to-date, that they are fully wormed (including heartworm) and have been treated with Bravecto® for protection from paralysis ticks and fleas.

TIP #1: Make sure you take a copy of their vaccination certificates with you, vet notes if your dog has a medical condition and prescriptions / medication for the length of the trip.

  1. FOOD FOR THOUGHT – Dogs like familiarity so take an adequate supply of their regular food to reduce the risk of stress. We always take Duke’s food bowl although I am sure he’d eat out of any bowl without a problem!

 TIP #2: Limit food before long trips – you don’t want spew in your car!

  1. THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME – Make sure your pet is microchipped and your details are current so that your dog can be returned to you if they get lost.

TIP #3: We always write our number on the inside of Duke’s collar as well as having a name tag just in case the tag falls off.

  1. HOME IS WHERE YOU LAY YOUR HEAD – Take your dog’s bedding with you. They are always more comfortable in their own beds with familiar smells and it gives them a ‘safe’ place to go to when they want some alone time.
  1. LEAD THE WAY – Don’t forget your dog’s lead and a longer rope for when you are at camp if you think your dog will wander off.

TIP #4: Pack an old tent peg and a hammer to secure your rope.

Australia’s paralysis tick season runs from about September to March – the time when adult female ticks are most abundant, although this can vary region to region.

Duke the cocker spaniel

It’s because of this that Australia’s leading emergency veterinarians have an urgent warning message for dog owners – they want you to protect your dog against paralysis ticks or be prepared for the consequences.

Director and Veterinary Specialist at The Animal Emergency Service in Queensland, Dr Rob Webster said “Tick paralysis is a preventable disease. When we lose dogs, a terrible outcome for all involved, we are losing dogs that could have been saved by administering a long-lasting paralysis tick treatment. Once the paralysis from a tick bite has taken hold, even the very best we can do using tick anti-serum and supportive care is going to save 8 out of 10 patients. This leaves a large number of dog owners in the dreadful position where they essentially watch their dog die from a preventable disease.”

As you know, we use Bravecto® (which is the only oral chew to deliver 3 months flea and 4 months paralysis tick protection for dogs in a single dose) for our Duke. If you want to read more about Bravecto® or see Duke demonstrating how easy it is to administer, click HERE!

We want your dog to be protected too, and since it’s the season of giving, we are giving 5 lucky readers the chance to win a year’s Bravecto® (4 packs per winner)!

JORD Wood Watch Review and Sale

| Kidding Around Australia

Well, would you look what has arrived for me and to celebrate I have a special DISCOUNT code for you!

JORD CORA WATCH

It’s no secret that I am an admirer of JORD Wood Watches, especially after we gave one to Tim for Father’s Day. So, you can imagine how I thought all my Christmases had come at once when their signature wooden box appeared at my door!

Speaking of Christmas (what a smooth segue that was!), have you done your shopping yet? I prefer to pick up bits and pieces throughout the year and then finish it off in November and early December so that I don’t get stressed! I find the crowds too overwhelming and I hate trying to find a car park. I think I am looking in good shape this year … only one or two for the kids and I am done! Phew!

Quite a few of our readers have written to us (thank you for taking the time, I really appreciate it) and asked us if how we are finding Tim’s Koa and Black Dover series watch and I can tell you it hasn’t missed a beat. My watch is the Koa and Rose Gold Cora series  and so far I love it as well!

JORD CORA WATCH

If you or your partner have taken a shine to any of the watches in the Woman’s or Men’s shop then this is the time buy as JORD are having an amazing SALE for Black Friday (the American equivalent to our Boxing Day Sales) and we have a code for you!

SPECIAL DISCOUNT CODE

You can get an amazing $100 USD off your purchase by clicking HERE. But this sale is limited! Don’t worry if your watch isn’t available in this sale, simply click HERE for 25% off.

JORD CORA WATCH

Your watch will come beautifully packed in a cedar box with oil, cloth, extra links, and warranty card. The box (and selected watches) can even be personalised with custom engraving for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations or any other occasion you can think of!

Each JORD wooden watch is crafted out of a range of beautiful sustainable woods and sapphire crystal glass instead of actual glass (crystal glass is one of the most scratch resistant materials on earth) which is perfect for living life outdoors! A quick look at the JORD website will show you each unique watch has different textures, colours and grains along with different internal movements. We love the skeleton watches, such as the Dover and Cora because you can actually see them working away. Oh, and you don’t even have to worry about winding your watch or flat batteries as JORD watches are self-winding watches.

Each of JORD’s wood watches have a one year warranty, but they have two rules! If you got all crazy with your watch and it got damaged they appreciate your honesty and will charge you a small fee. If there was a defect in their workmanship, they will put their heads down in shame and repair the watch free of charge. I like this.

JORD CORA WATCH

I can honestly say that JORD watches make a unique and distinctive gift – so don’t miss out on this discount code! JORD have free worldwide shipping so you won’t need to worry about facing the crowds – balm to my soul!

Please feel free to share this with your friends! This code is accepted worldwide!

Happy Shopping!

JORD Wood Watch Review and Competition

| Kidding Around Australia

I have been admiring JORD Wood Watches for a few years now and had coveted a women’s wooden watch to call my own. I love that they are handcrafted and use range of raw materials as well as the feeling of ‘wilderness wanderlust’ I get as soon as one of their images pops up in my Instagram feed.

JORD DOVER WATCH

I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to collaborate with JORD as they are a brand that I already had an emotional connection with – even though I was not yet a direct consumer. They say it is always a matter of timing and when the email came through about 10 days before Father’s Day a little thought crept into my head. I scanned the list of women’s watches in the Woman’s shop and picked my favourite. Curiosity got the better of me, so I had a look through the men’s wooden watch range as well. I kept coming back to a watch that I knew that Tim would absolutely love, but what about MY watch? I really, really want one! But the thing is, Tim is hard to buy for. I’ve lost count of the number of DVD’s and framed photos he has received as gifts, and apart from sending him skydiving for his 40th birthday, my gifts to him could be described as a bit hit and miss. Well, NOT THIS TIME!

With a spring in my fingertips, I ordered Tim a Koa and Black Dover series watch from the Men’s shop and eagerly waited for it to arrive from America. It arrived and like an excited child, I presented it to Tim! He was amazed and promptly announced that this was the third best present he has ever received (after Alegría and Isaac!). He was so excited that I didn’t have the heart to point out that they weren’t actually presents!

JORD DOVER WATCH

Opening a JORD watch is an event in itself. The watch comes beautifully packed in a cedar box with oil, cloth, extra links, and warranty card. The box (and selected watches) can even be personalised with custom engraving for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations or just a declaration of love.

JORD DOVER WATCH

Each JORD wooden watch is crafted out of a range of beautiful sustainable woods and sapphire crystal glass instead of actual glass (crystal glass is one of the most scratch resistant materials on earth) which is perfect for living life outdoors! A quick look at the JORD website will show you each unique watch has different textures, colours and grains along with different internal movements. We love the skeleton watches, such as the Dover, because you can actually see them working away. You know, keeping time. Oh, and you don’t even have to worry about winding your watch or flat batteries as JORD watches are self-winding watches. It truly is fascinating!

JORD DOVER WATCH

Each of JORD’s wood watches has a one year warranty, but they have two rules! If you got all crazy with your watch and it got damaged they appreciate your honesty and will charge you a small fee. If there was a defect in their workmanship, they will put their heads down in shame and repair the watch free of charge. I like this.

JORD DOVER WATCH

I can honestly say that JORD watches make a unique and distinctive gift, but it’s not just the adults that love this watch. Isaac is so enthralled with Dadda’s new wood watch he has put his order in! One day, little man. One day.

COMPETITION INFORMATION

If you love this watch as much as we do, then you are going to want to enter our competition!

Every person who enters will have a chance to win a $100 gift code to use on the JORD site (You don’t have to choose the Dover – they have many amazing wood watches for men and women!). One lucky person will win, but everyone will receive a consolation code worth $25 once the contest ends!

To Enter: Simply click on this link and fill in your details here https://www.woodwatches.com/g/kiddingaroundaustralia

We would LOVE you to share this with your friends! This competition is open worldwide!

Competition ends: 01/10/2017 at 11:59pm and the winner will be emailed by JORD Wood Watches. All other entrants will receive their consolation code via email.

Good Luck!

From 1st – 16th July, Melbourne’s most iconic amusement park is being transformed into a magical Christmas wonderland, with FREE admission for all, festive entertainment and a ‘sleigh’ full of Christmas decorations!

Alegría and Isaac loved dancing in the magical snowfall (it happens every hour) and squealed with delight when they spotted Santa from the top of the Ferris Wheel and had to rush in and see him!

Luna Park Santa.jpg
