DVD donations to provide educators with classroom fitness tools
Fit Factor Network, Inc., a Tampa-based DVD production company, announced its Share the Health Campaign – a program developed to provide free, supplemental exercise materials to elementary and preschool classrooms.
For every Fit Factor Kids DVD purchased at regular price from http://www.fitfactorkids.com/ in January, 2010, Fit Factor Network, Inc. will donate one DVD to the elementary or preschool class of the purchaser’s choice. To launch the program, Fit Factor Network, Inc. is also donating 150 DVDs to public elementary schools in Hillsborough County.
“We’re so excited to provide these DVDs to schools. As a former classroom teacher, I know how hard it can be to stretch school resources,” said company founder, Scott Owen.
Owen continued, “Teachers are being asked to provide more in-class fitness education, like the state-mandated program here in Florida that requires classroom teachers to provide 90 minutes of guided physical education each week. Hopefully these donations will help teachers meet those requirements.”

Fit Factor Kids – by @FitFactorKids – I can’t put out a holiday gift guide without including our product, now can I!?! The Fit Factor Kids DVD is designed for children ages 4 – 12 and is hosted by kid athletes that are also great role models. Don’t worry, it’s not a program about losing weight…the purpose of the DVD is to get kids up and moving and most of all, to do it in a fun and entertaining way.
Who it’s for: Kids ages 4 to 12 (it’s also a great gift for elementary teachers for them to use in the classroom)

Expert Nutrition Tips for Your Toddler – by @TwinToddlersDad – This 52-page eBook is a compilation of Q&A from pediatricians and dietitians on a variety of toddler nutrition topics. And the best part (to me!) is that all proceeds will go directly to benefit Share Our Strength - an organization committed to end childhood hunger in America by 2015.

Buying scoop: This eBook is available for sale on the Science Driven: Real Toddler Nutrition site.

These sound like great gifts on their own or you may want to bundle them with other items in a gift basket (I heard an idea this week for a whole wheat cornucopia that would probably be even better if you included one of these nutrition books with it!) I'm anxious to know what ideas you have too.
There are products for moms, kids, families...just about everyone...but here's the disclaimer. I haven't actually tried these products. I'm simply bringing them to you as options for those hard to buy for friends and relatives. So take a look and let me know what you think!
