Scholastic Books Christmas Prize Pack Giveaway

November 26, 2010 by Melissa

Books, Books and more Books! Scholastic has released 2 great stories just in time for Christmas; It’s Christmas David and Captain Blue Sky.

It’s Christmas David
Christmas is coming, and Santa Claus is making his list. David is trying to be good, but when the house is filled with candy canes, Christmas cookies and beautifully wrapped gifts, it’s very hard to stay out of trouble! From wayward snowballs to the sleepless excitement of Christmas Eve, best-selling author David Shannon perfectly captures the joy and laughter of the holiday season.

Captain Sky Blue
Santa brings Jack his best toy pal, Captain Sky Blue, a pilot. Sky speaks in Pilot Talk (“Roger! Wilco!”). After a thunderstorm separates Sky and his buddy (“Mayday!”), Sky is abducted by a whale, then left alone to wander a frigid ocean floor until he chances upon a very special place, a place where he’s been before (“Now I’m spooled up!”). Captain Sky Blue thinks he has finally found an easy way home, but first he must help Santa out on Christmas Eve –a challenge that puts his pilot skills to the test! From Caldecott Medal Winner author Richard Egielski.

Books are a great gift for kids of any age; I try every year to get a book or two for the children in my family to keep the love going. Scholastic has always been a great service for getting great titles at great prices for all the kids in our family. Whether you’re ordering books from one of the many Scholastic Book Clubs, attending a local book fair or checking out the features in Parent and Child Magazine, Scholastic is determined to improve global literacy and build strong book lovers.

To celebrate the release of these books Scholastic wants to giveaway A HUGE SCHOLASTIC HOLIDAY PRIZE PACK which features the following books (Prize Pack Valued at $89.75)
• Captain Sky Blue
• It’s Christmas David
• Ook and Gluk
• Tony Baloney
• Odious Ogre
• I SPY Christmas

Superstructs Custom Buildable Construction Gift Giveaway

November 23, 2010 by Melissa

Personalized gifts are cool and kids love seeing their names on things no matter if it’s a keychain, notepad or even their lunchbox. Superstructs, vibrant plastic rod and connector style construction toys, is now creating customized kits perfect for the holidays or birthdays. With more than 24,000 possible combinations, it’s easy to customize a kit to a child’s taste.

First you choose which Superstructs sets you want, which start at just $9.99, you then get to customize the box with the child’s name and the occasion. It’s a pretty simple process and the finished product you receive in the mail looks awesome.

For Shae I chose the funny car, dragster and boom truck and crane. I then customized it to say Merry Christmas Shae which I think she is going to go absolutely nuts over. It was hard for me to select which three items I wanted in my custom kit because I like them all. Superstructs will be my new go to gift for birthdays because they are universal for girls and boys and customizable.

Another cool thing is Superstructs kits are receiving attention in the industry by receiving the following awards: prestigious Fall 2010 Parents’ Choice Recommended Award, Dr. Toy: 100 Best Children’s Products and 10 Best Creative Products for 2010.

WABA Fun designs, manufactures and markets a line of award-winning construction toys under the Superstructs brand name and target children ages 3 and up and exceed all current US and European toy safety standards. WABA Fun is committed to developing products that inspire imagination and encourage children to be creative during their playtime.

Be sure to enter coupon code KQPPB5PB for 40% off of one of the company’s best-selling kits, the BIG Builder, a 126-piece set for ages 4-11, normally $41.95. The code expires 1/31/2011.

Win your very own Superstructs Custom Kit and select up to 3 models. All you need to do is head over to Superstructs and tell me something that wasn’t mentioned in this review.

Batman Rocks!!! DC Super Friends Batcave Recap

November 11, 2010 by Melissa

Superhero’s never go out of style and the kids like Batman so I was pretty excited when we got the chance to overview the Fisher-Price Trio DC Super Friends Batcave.

The Fisher-Price Trio DC Super Friends Batcave comes with over 100 Trio easy clicking pieces and accessories as well as with a Batman action figure and the Batmobile. The pieces fit together so easily and it comes with an easy to understand instruction guide with step by step directions for building a standard cave dwelling. The instructions also show images of three additional Batcave’s with visual lists that show what pieces you will need and how many.

The Fisher-Price Trio DC Super Friends Batcave offers kids skills in problem solving and construction. Younger kids will probably need help constructing this set but it is a great opportunity to spend time with them and help them develop trouble shooting skills.

The Batcave provides hours of entertainment due to the different variations of Batcaves that can be built that your kids will look forward to playing with it. This set is recommended for children ages 4 years and up and with two sides of play it provides twice the fun and adventure.

Want to win a Fisher-Price Trio DC Super Friends Batcave of your own? Head over to Fisher Price and tell me what other products you like and if you win who will get this prize.

Both can be engraved with a name, date or special wish, and $2 from each purchase is donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

I was able to personalize the Radiant Star Bracelet with a message for my grandmother. The message simply stated “Always In My Heart”. With many miles distancing us I wanted to give her a little reminder that I’m always thinking of her and miss her dearly each day.

Holiday Wishlist 2010 – Magic Cabin $50 Giveaway

November 9, 2010 by Melissa

Little kids toys should be entertaining but also educational but of course not over stimulating. Magic Cabin is a go-to source for just these products. Magic Cabin has been guided by the simple notion that children’s lives are enriched by ample time for open-ended, creative, imaginative play.

We are a fan of these type of toys, toys that don’t require batteries, toys that require kid-power and toys whose play isn’t dictated by a character on tv. Yes we love our electronics and gadgets and video games but we also love our downtime play where imaginations are used and the sky is the limit.

I’ve known about Magic Cabin for many years as the Fairy place. These fairies are cherished by children all over and for good reason they are handcrafted and adorable. The dolls and Kathe Kruse® of Germany are all lovingly made to last a lifetime of hugs and cuddles.

We got the chance to review a couple baby & toddler toys for my nieces. The Stacking Cups are soft enough for the littlest ones but sturdy enough for the little learners and who doesn’t love a gnome.

Wooden pull toys were always Shae’s favorite, that’s why we choose the Holgate Mail Truck Shape Sorter as a gift for one of the 1 year olds. It’s chunky shapes fit well into her hands and the lid pops off for easy access.

Holiday Wishlist 2010 – Powermat

November 2, 2010 by Melissa

If you are anything like my family then you have nine million things that need to be charged. In our house we have three cell phones, two blue tooth devices, three iPod’s and a Nintendo DS and were in desperate need of a charging station. Thank goodness we got a chance to analyse the Home & Office Mat with Powercube from Powermat.

The home and office mat with Powercube is really cool because you can charge up to three devices at one time by either using a receiver or the Powercube. Powermat also offers portable mats for that person who is always on the go. The Powercube comes with either 2 tips : Mini USB and Micro USB or 8 tips : Mini USB, Micro USB, Samsung, LG, Apple, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DS Lite, Sony PSP making it a very universal device. The Powercube is what I use to charge my Blackberry 8530, Melinda’s Samsung Fascinate and both of our Jawbone Icon Bluetooth’s. The Powercube allows you to charge hundreds of devices wirelessly.

The Powermat to me is the most versatile charging system out on the market today with so many different options it would be hard to find a device that it wouldn’t charge. It is simple to use with its audio confirmation which is a unique sound that lets you know your device is connected properly and charging. The Powermat also had auto shut off and full charge check allowing you to save energy and not overcharge your device. It is also a very affordable system versus having to buy multiple home chargers for your cell phone, Bluetooth or any other device you might need to charge at home or while in the office.

If you are looking for a device that is slim, sleek and allows you charge many devices with one plug then you need to get yourself or that gadget person on your holiday list a Powermat.

Want a Powermat of your own head over to Powermat and tell me what item or items you like or something cool about the products.
