The Ultimate Holiday Planning Guide

The Ultimate Holiday Planning Guide

'Tis the season of giving.

Here are some fabulous gift ideas and holiday helpers to make you merry.

First up, something for the four-legged babies.

The Waterpik Pet Wand PRO gives your pooch pro-grade grooming right at home with a WaterComb spray setting that gets into that thick fur -- and gets all the shampoo lather and the dirt out of there to get your dog clean.

It's a faster and easier way to bathe your dog at home with a more targeted narrow spray for hard-to-reach or sensitive areas and a two-way diverter that lets you switch between the shower head and the pet wand.

It comes with an 8-foot hose and outdoor adapter -- so it can be used outside.

Of course, it keeps your dog a lot calmer.

Get it on Amazon for $49.99.

They also have a matte black deluxe edition with all the same features you love in the Pet Wand, plus different spray settings so you can dial the water pressure how you like it.

It comes with a lick mat to divert their attention if needed.

Both will save you that trip to the groomer, and it pays for itself after 2-times.

Get this one online at walmart.com for $10 off through December 15.

Now for some mommy grooming -- Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo and Pantene Miracle Rescue Deep Conditioning Treatment are the best for repairing hair and leaving it feeling super soft and luxurious without weighing it down.

It goes head to head with its $60 competitors, but you can find these at Walgreens under $10 each.

And with all the holiday shopping, everyone can appreciate all those savings.

These also make great stocking stuffers.

Now, let's talk wrapping.

Who doesn't love to do that?

But finding somewhere to hide and do without everyone watching is always hard.

Scotch Brand did something fun recently to help inspire us.

They set up an ultimate Holiday Gifting Suite and gave a few lucky gifters what they called a 'holi-stay' to wrap, pack, and ship their gifts.

We love Scotch Brand because they have the best quality stuff.

Our favorite basic and essential -- their Scotch Gift-Wrap Tape .

It is a primo tape that stays sealed and has invisible lines, so you can't see them on gifts.

There are also different types of tape for everything you need, like extra hold or double-sided, whether for holiday cards, crafts, or gift labels.

Next, their Scotch Cushion Lock is sustainable, 100% recycled paper, and an alternative to plastic bubble wrap.

It's perfect for wrapping fragile things.

And tape and scissors are unnecessary -- pull and wrap.

Lastly, if packing boxes, their Scotch Box Lock Packaging Tape instantly sticks even on those harder-to-seal recycled boxes.
