It’s definitely the season where we would all use a little less stress, right? And, with straight-to-your-door delivery being the norm now, having the option to ship our favorite goodies is definitely a win.

For a Gift They Can Customize: Sugarwish
Sugarwish
Instead of choosing people's treats, why not let them pick for themselves? Sugarwish is an online shop that allows gift-givers to send loved ones a "sugar wish." After choosing from varying-priced packages such as the Mini, the Medium, and the Grand, simply enter the recipient's email address, and he or she will get a sweet surprise in their inbox. After receiving the Sugarwish—which is essentially an e-gift card—recipients get to fill their virtual bag with whatever candy will satisfy their sweet tooth. They also offer customized cocktail boxes! Choose from drinks like rum old-fashioned, smoky margarita, Moscow mule, and more.
With so many festive flavors to treat all season long, these delectable mini cupcakes are the perfect way to share sweets without going overboard.

For a Taste of Union Square, Anywhere: Breads Bakery Chocolate Babka
Goldbelly
Our Editorial Director raves about Breads Bakery Chocolate Babka, and she's never led us astray. Another delivery courtesy of Goldbelly, the braided loaf-shaped cake known as babka is at its best in New York City—and now your home!—thanks to Union Square’s legendary Breads Bakery. Dark chocolate chips. Nutella. French cultured butter. And in a 3-pack, shipped a few hours after being pulled from Breads Bakery's oven. How could you possibly go wrong?

Or, spring for a party pack or any of their cookie + dough combo boxes. They have build-your-own cookie cake mixes and already-made cookie boxes too.

For Utterly Thick, Soft Cookie Perfection: Taylor Chip
Taylor Chip
Soft cookie lovers, this one is all for you. Taylor Chip creates sinfully (but in a good way) thick, soft, chewy, dense cookies that are the size of your palm (we aren't kidding). These are the cookies we think of when we think of Christmas cookies, and with flavors like Mocha Peppermint, Gingersnap, and Toasted Coconut, it's basically a box Santa himself wouldn't be able to turn down.

Paper and fabric bows are so last year. This year, make your package even sweeter by topping it with a candy bow inspired by Happy Go Lucky. Pick your family's favorite candy, then tie it to the front of the gift for a special treat.
Short on paper? Check out that stash of shiny packing material or that huge roll of aluminum foil gathering dust in the kitchen and dress up some gifts like Honestly Modern. The best part? Options like this mean you are reusing products you already have and creating less waste.
Instantly dress up any gift with a snip of pine or another festive frond. The recipient of your gift will love the fun fragrance, and the non-traditional topper is a nice break from a paper or fabric bow.
Use the Takashimaya Wrapping Method
Japanese department store Takashimaya is famous for its quick maneuvering when it comes to getting presents wrapped. If you're looking to bust out all your presents in one sitting then you'll want to watch this video which uses three pieces of tape and less than 30 seconds.
Whether you make your own or plan on using an old garland from your last birthday, finishing off a package with a strand of garland is always a good idea! The hack gives a homemade yet stylish look to your wrapped gifts in a cinch.
Mini TP Roll Package
Allison Sutcliffe
Wrapping something tiny and can’t find an itty bitty box? Try using a TP roll by folding down one side, taping it, putting the gift inside, folding the opposite side in, and finally taping it closed. Finish it off with baker’s twine and a small bow, and you’ll have the ultimate budget-friendly package.
If you’re looking for a unique way to wrap a gift box guaranteed to impress, try using a vintage map. It's perfect for wrapping almost anything because it's large, can be opened flat, and has natural seams that make it super easy to cut.
Gift your sweet treats in style with this amazing idea from Aunt Peaches. Grab a waxed paper or aluminum foil box, craft paint, and twine to create a dazzling gift box. Fill the box with your favorite baked goods to put a smile on everyone’s face this season.
Cereal Boxes as Bags
Allison Sutcliffe
Don't worry if you run out of gift bags this season. If you have cereal boxes, you can make a fantastic DIY gift bag. Grab a cereal box, cut out the top or side (depending on the shape of your gift), and wrap it with your favorite holiday paper. Remember to leave the top open, punch holes, and thread yarn or ribbon to create the handles.

There’s always that one gift that doesn’t fit any bag, box, or sack. No need to have a late-night breakdown! Here's how you'll gift wrap the box like a pro—by fashioning a perfectly-sized gift bag using the wrapping paper you already have with a little help from this video!
Say goodbye to boring, solid wrapping paper with this cool idea from Housing A Forest. Make your very own patterned paper with a potato stamp. Yes, you read that right! Grab a potato, a cookie cutter and paint to create a craft that gets your kiddos involved with the wrapping process.
Cut down on the confusion with this ingenious trick. Try assigning each family member a color or wrapping paper pattern, and forget about all of the gift tags!
Glitter Ribbon
Allison Sutcliffe
You might never buy ribbon again after trying out this glittery hack. Stick some double-sided tape onto your wrapped gift, create a “T” shape or double parallel lines, roll the package in glitter, give it a quick tap, and voila, you’ve got a sparkly finish to your gift.
If you’ve got an oddly shaped gift that’s not too big, you can always try the candy method. This sweet method is all about taping the paper or tissue at the center of the package and tying the ribbon at both ends. For a more detailed tutorial visit Jones Design Company.

What’s the Best Thing to Do at Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun?
Once settled in one of the rooms or suites, prepare for serious water park fun! The Royalton Splash has one of the biggest water parks in the Caribbean—with 14 water slides (four are for little kids), two lazy rivers, an impressive splash pad, and two incredible infinity pools, it’ll be hard to convince your family to do anything but play in the water. Once everyone’s had their fill of fun on the slides, take the short jaunt down to the beach, where you’ll find a pristine stretch of sand with almost no surf, making it ideal for little kids. Guests can rent sailboats, kayaks, and paddleboards.
If you and your group need a break from the sun, hang out at Game Up, where you can book bowling lanes, play laser tag, and jump on indoor trampolines. There’s also an incredible gym and outdoor multisport court for young adult and adult guests, and for those wanting to check out the spa, opt for a Mommy & Me facial package or a hydrotherapy session (Diamond Club guests get a one-hour complimentary hydrotherapy session).

There is also a gelato shop next to the splash park for a sweet treat, a grill serving kid favorites like chicken tenders, cheeseburgers, and hot dogs, and a food truck serving up freshly made tacos and quesadillas.

When Sam, a shy kid who doesn't fit in, writes to the Count, who feels rejected in today's monster mash, the two turn Halloween into a sweet night of getting their mojos back.
The good guys may always win in the end, but the baddies sure do have a lot of fun before their defeat. In this animated classic Halloween movie for kids, Disney's baddest bunch, from Jafar and Hades to Maleficent and Ursula, descend upon Mickey and Minnie's abode, with the mousey couple battling the iconic villains to save their House of Mouse.
Released in 1949, this two-story classic remains a sight to behold nearly a century later, its vibrant animation both impressive and nostalgic. Opening the film, Mr. Toad goes on an adventure through the willows before headliner Ichabod Crane mingles with the Headless Horseman. Now, this part is an adaptation of Sleepy Hollow, but rest assured it's about as spine-tingling as a tickling feather.
Alvin, Simon, and Theodore can hang with anyone–they are popstar royalty, after all. So, palling around with Dr. Frankenstein and his Monster is no thang for these 'munkies. Not to mention they're all scientific anomalies. What could go wrong? Set in a studio theme park under the night sky, the boys sing songs and learn that not all monsters are scary.
When we tell you there are a zillion Scooby spinoffs floating around digital libraries, we're not lying. Especially since no one has ever really defined "zillion." Nevertheless, Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King is one worth your time. Here, Shaggy and his goofy Great Dane head into the underworld to take on goblins and mortals with bad intentions. Up for another? Hunt down Zombie Island!
Hilary Duff makes her video debut with a silly spook-fest that costars the world's friendliest ghost. Duff plays Wendy, a witch with a heart of gold, and with Casper, the two take on the evil warlock wreaking havoc on their town. Kids will love the amusing slapstick and goofy shenanigans. Parents? There's actually some A-list talent here. See: Cathy Moriarty, Teri Garr, and Shelley Duvall.
He's green. He's mean. And he's always dressed for Halloween. He's Shrek, and he's the ogre at the center of this DreamWorks spinoff dedicated to the last day of October. Challenging his scaredy-cat pals to a night of ghost stories and haunted castle dwellings, Shrek sets out to crown the King of Halloween. And just like the other films in the canon, this one is all giggles, all the time.
Woody, Pixar's pull-string cowboy who can make adults cry like babies, teams up with the contents of his human's toy box for another adventure straddling the border between the human world and the secret life of toys. This time, the gang is trapped at a roadside motel when members of their crew begin to go missing. But if we know Woody, he's got this. Unless there's a snake in his boot.
The comedy duo extraordinaire put their slapstick brilliance into action with a story that sees the Wolf Man warning the bumbling pair that Dr. Frankenstein wants their brains for his creation. Hmm, who wants to be the one to tell the mad doc these two aren't the sharpest pencils in the box? Older kids, tweens, parents, and everyone will delight in this horror-screwball classic Halloween movie.
The kindly spirit stars in this collection of charming animated tales. A retro time capsule that includes adventures with Wendy the Good Little Witch, Baby Huey, and Little Audrey, the '90s series offers 51 episodes of Halloween fare that'll scare the boredom right out of the younger set. All that's missing is some boo-nanas and ghoul-aid.
Visionary director Tim Burton works his magic on a tale about a bony pumpkin king named Jack Skellington who stumbles onto a wondrous world of twinkling lights, happy faces, and snowflakes. It's called Christmas Town, and it's exactly what he believes his macabre town needs. Both kids and parents will get a kick out of the gothic creativity on display, as well as Danny Elfman's composition.
Not only a wonderful gateway film for kids into the family-friendly horror movie genre, Hotel Transylvania is a first-class father-daughter comedy that tugs at all the right strings. About a Count who runs a resort for monsters only, the film is a mash-up of signature Adam Sandler comedy and wonderful animated misadventures that will keep the kids howling.
For some, learning how their parents lived through the '60s is the most shocking revelation they'll hear. For Skylar Lewis, it's learning that her parents are monster hunters. After haphazardly releasing every monster her parents have captured, this Buffy-in-training and her friends are forced to face not only their demons but save their parents from the very monsters they'd hunted.
Just like Christmas, Halloween is always under attack. From evil forces to wicked monsters, the joyful night of trick-or-treating is just one dark spell away from vanishing into the ether. Luckily, we have Marnie, Aggie, and Gwen to rely on. Three generations of vigilant witches take to their broomsticks to save Halloweentown, their adventures kicking off in this franchise opener.
A clever holiday-fusing tale, this one has fun with science, football, and the spirit of the holidays. The story follows Andy, a kid who accidentally creates a monster. In a twist of irony, his monster is his mirror opposite: It craves sports, while Andy craves beakers and experiments. Helping each other become their best selves, the two kick off the best holiday season ever.
