Holiday Palooza - The Pocket Referee Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

Welcome to our Holiday Palooza! Jackie and I have some wonderful gift ideas to share with you this holiday season. Make sure you visit Jackie at Monkey Mayhem daily to see what she has in store for you too. We will be featuring the same giveaways on each blog some of the days, so that's two chances for you to win!

"Vraney, Inc. is a start-up company formed as a collaboration between a father and daughter with the goal of bringing families a simple tool to help keep the peace. A version of the Pocket Referee was created years ago by George Vraney for use with his daughters."

Having two boys only 2 years and 3 months apart, I hear constant arguing. Sometimes it just gets sickening because it really doesn't end. They mess with each other it seems just to get a rise out of the other.

That's why The Pocket Referee is a great tool to have in my household. It helps to settle some of those stupid disputes between them, instead of me having to get in the middle.
"This beautiful solid metal coin is imprinted with the Referee on the front and a treasure chest on the back. The instructions for it's use are embossed on each side. “Get the Choice - Pass the Coin” and “Pass the Choice - Keep the Coin”. It is designed to feel like the authentic treasure that it will quickly become."
I think this is just an amazing idea and can't believe that i have never seen anything like this before. It really does seem to help all of the arguing lately and that is definitely a breath of relief!

Gift It!

You can buy The Pocket Referee Antique Coin for $12.95 and The Pocket Referee Special Edition Gold Finish Coin for $15.95.

the parent can choose how much or little interaction they'd like to have in the process and can also choose to have no part of it all.

The coin holder holds the power to make a final decision.
