Now more than ever, we are spending more and more time indoors with our family. You can use this to your advantage to help knock out some last-minute gifts on your list! No matter who you have left to get for these products will make for amazing gifts.

Let's start with the wonderful world of Virtual Reality. We have come such a long way over the years when it comes to technology and I can tell you first hand that incorporating VR into your family game night is sure to lead to a lot of laughs.

First up is a super cool educational VR game from Heromask! You can get Heromask Languages or the Double pack with Language and Math. We love the languages one. It is super easy to use and helps you learn languages such as Spanish, French, German, English, and Chinese. You do need a smartphone to be able to play and you need to download a mobile app but setting it up is very user-friendly.

It also has adjustable velcro straps to make it easier to fit on your head. It is perfect for everyone in your family and a super fun way to play and learn together.

Another fun VR experience is Playstation VR! With Playstation VR you can put yourself right in the center of the action. The game comes to life all around you and has a seamless field of view wherever you turn. It comes equipped with two Playstation VR Move Controllers that are extremely well made and easy to use. There are games for the entire family as well. Some of our favorites include:

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners

Until Dawn: Rush of Blood (This one is a bit scary so for adults only)

Fruit Ninja (Fun for the entire family)

Rick & Morty: Virtual Rick-ality

and

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales

I can't write a Blog about a family game night without talking about board games. Board games have always been a fan favorite whether it be a classic game or new ones the possibility for fun is endless. Here are some great gift ideas for the board game lover in your life.

First up, is this super cool and fun game called Mind The Gap. Mind The Gap is a fun generational-based trivia game from SolidRoots. Bring your family together and enjoy some pop culture trivia. This game is great for ages 10 and up and focuses on Boomers, Gen X, Millenials, and Gen Z. Each generation works together to see who can race around the board the fastest. We had such a blast playing this game.

Pick up your Mind The Gap game at the following places:

Mind The Gap

Amazon

Walmart

and

Barnes and Nobles

A classic but always one of my favorites is Scrabble. The classic crossword game is sure to bring fun and laughs to your family game night. I remember growing up always making up my own words to try and get the most points. Although I never quite got away with it we definitely shared a lot of laughs.

Holiday Gift Ideas 2020: Customized Gifts

So let's face it... this has not been the best year in the history of the world but nevertheless, the holidays are approaching. This year more than ever we should give gifts to put smiles on the faces of our loved ones. But how do we do that? Over the next few weeks, I am going to share some Holiday Gift Ideas with today's focus on Customized Gifts.

So let's dive right in:

The first gift idea I want to talk about is from Family Gifts Co. They have a collection of beautiful canvases of all different sizes and designs. They have gifts for mom, gifts for dad, canvases, metal art, and a state collection with cups, mugs, and more. They truly have unique and personalized gifts for everyone on your list. Their tag line is "Bringing Families Together" and they do just that. We opted for this print because we are big horror movie lovers and it reminded us of the Jason franchise so it fit our personality. We love that it is big enough to fit all of our names and it really is so beautiful. The ordering process was great as well as their customer service.

The next customized gift idea is from a company called Mapiful. Mapiful makes custom posters for your meaningful moments. They have so many beautiful options that are completely personalized to you. You can get a Classic Mapiful poster where you would pick a place that is important to you (whether it is your hometown, the place you got married, the place you were born, etc) and they will send you a map of that exact location.

They also have beautiful personalized Star Mapifuls. These prints will let you see where the stars and constellations from any given location on any given date. They are 100% customizable. You can customize the text, colors, and location. Where will your stars align?

Where are my astrology lovers? Mapiful even has Zodiac prints! Select the Zodiac sign you want on your customized gift and you can include the date of your choice, planets, symbols, as well as a birthstone.

We chose the Text Art Mapiful. Text Art Mapiful lets you combine your favorite image and text together. We opted for a picture of our wedding day with the lyrics to our wedding song behind it. We were also able to put text under the photo to make it even more personalized.

Have you ever wanted to be royalty? Well, with Masterpiece Me you can. They seriously have so many fun options and literally have something for everyone on your list. They have famous couple prints such as The Royal Couple, The American Gothic, The Lovers (as seen here), even The Step Brothers. They also have a variety of solo prints and right now even have a Halloween line! You can become your favorite horror icons with a custom canvas or poster of The Kreuger, The Chucky, The Georgie, and more. You can even become your favorite superhero. They have custom canvases, posters, canvases, and more. Not sure what to pick? Get your loved one a Gift Card so they can pick their favorite.

We can't forget our favorite furry friends and with Crown and Paw, you don't have to. You can turn your pet into a renaissance masterpiece and the end result is truly amazing. With themes like the Renaissance, Film and TV, Sports and Hobbies, and jobs your pet can become just about anything. Simply upload photos of your pet and their amazing artists will do the rest. Use code: CAMP15 to save on your favorite print.

Last but not least, we have custom children's wall art from Dreamful Kids. Let your little one's imagination shine with these custom dreamful scenes. They can go on an ocean adventure, explore space, hang with their favorite jungle friends, go prehistoric in dino land, live a fairytale life, fly an airplane, ride along the mini express, or enjoy some afternoon tea. The process is super easy as well. Simply choose your scene, take your photo, send it in, and approve the proof. They have impeccable customer service and Sydney absolutely loves her photo.

I hope you enjoy this holiday gift guide filled with custom and personalized gifts. I will share some more goodies next week. As always, stay safe and healthy everyone.

Super Easy Halloween DIY Craft Idea

It's the best time of the year again. You guessed it! Fall and Halloween time. This is my absolute favorite time of the year and with us all being stuck in the house more I wanted to share some fun and super easy Halloween DIY craft ideas. Today, I will share with you one of my favorite Halloween/Fall time DIY crafts using stuff you already have in your house.

Introducing my recycled Halloween glass jar decorations.

Here is what you will need:

1. A glass jar of your choice (for this project I recycled an old pickle jar, a jar of alfredo sauce, and a jar of tomato sauce).

2. Acrylic paints of your choice. I used this set: https://amzn.to/33Wsh1q

3. Paintbrushes of your choice. I used these: https://amzn.to/32ZLDn3

Now, let's get started!

Step 1: The first thing you will need is your glass jar. Like mentioned previously, for this recycled DIY craft I used an old pickle jar and jars from sauce. To make it easy to get the label sticker off I simply ran them under warm water and the label usually comes off pretty easy. If that doesn't work you can use white vinegar and that should help get any leftover off as well as any sticky residue. You can try: https://amzn.to/33WUVzr

Step 2: Make sure you fully dry your jar before painting and grab your brush and acrylic paint.

Step 3: Lay down a towel to protect your surface and find something to put your paint in. I like to use the back of the lids from the glass jar.

Step 4: Start painting the glass jar. I like to paint it once and let it dry and add a 2nd or 3rd layer of paint after the initial dries. If you are planning on adding lights inside I would suggest going with only one layer of paint.

Step 5: While your paint on the first jar is drying either clean your brush or grab a different one and start painting your next jar.

Step 6: Repeat Step 5 for as many jars as you wish to make

Step 7: Once your jars are completely dry you can start adding the faces. I just used paint but you can make it your own and use stuff like Googly Eyes, Glitter, etc.

There you have it! A super easy Halloween DIY craft idea using recycled glass jars. This DIY project is great for kids as well. I hope you enjoyed my quick little tutorial and make sure to tag @the_zamp_camp on Instagram if you attempt to make these.

Here is a video tutorial I made several years ago:
