Umbilical cord blood is the blood collected from the umbilical cord immediately following the birth of a child. Umbilical cord blood is rich in "stem cells". When the umbilical cord blood cells are transplanted into patients, they can help restore the immune and blood systems to help fight diseases and replace diseased blood. Collecting your child’s umbilical cord blood and saving it in a private cord blood bank provides you with an important option in case your child develops any of the illnesses where cord blood is used in treatment.

Expecting parents should compare cord blood banking costs and quality at several cord blood banks to determine the best cord blood bank for their family. Check carefully to ensure that there are no hidden "annual storage fees".

And now there are also Cord Blood After-Christmas Coupons, which you can take advantage of for yourself or as a gift. Ask banks what they are offering during this time of the year.

For those of you who are now asking, "Does it really work?" "Is it worth it?" this is something everyone has to decide for themselves. However in some cases it can be a real advantage.

Consider Baby John, who was suffering from cerebral palsy symptoms caused by a pediatric stroke. John received an umbilical stem cell transplant, from the cord blood that his parents banked when he was born. The cord blood transfusion proved to be a success and Baby John has since shown major signs of improvement. In this case, the stem cell transplant improved his cerebral palsy symptoms.

Waboba Ball

If you have energetic kids that are a little bit older, probably from about the age of 12 an upwards and also any adults which enjoy playing water games, then this is the beach toy of all beach toys!

This ball literally bounces on water and makes for a rapidly fast paced game of catch and is great played in groups with the family or with friends. Once you get yourself one of these, you will never want to go on holiday again without one, they are fab!

Solar Panel Backpack

Nowadays, with smart phones guzzling battery power at the rate of knots, keeping your phone fully charged for the day is something of a mission and a challenge. But when you are on holiday, you more often than not, do not have the same kind of access to power as you would at home and that is when the solar panel backpack comes into its own.

With a multitude of different adapters these fantastic solar panels can store enough charge to charge 2 phones up and are constantly being re-fuelled, making this the ultimate gift for the seasoned traveller and bog standard holiday goer.

This article was written by Ricky May, currently planning his next holiday to Majorca with Puerto Pollensa hotels.
