I guess they are around, but most just sit and collect dust, but can smartphones and tablets really replace computers and laptops? I obviously don't know the answer to that question, but by the looks of things, they sure are trying hard.

Time to start marking things off your Christmas shopping list! So, it's time for me to do another  Born Pretty Store Blog, because as always they have tons of gifts for every girl on your list, and all at amazing prices!

And don't worry, you don't have to be an artist, my 9 year old daughter can use this stamping kit, though it did require a little bit of practice! If nail art isn't your girl's thing, maybe she would appreciate one of BPS's interesting LED watches. Many of which are unisex, so if you have some fashionable guys on your list you may want to check these out too, because they are pretty dang cool! Plus, not ...
