Holiday Wishlist 2010 – Melissa and Doug Recap

November 5, 2010 by

Most of you probably know we love Melissa and Doug Baby and Toddler Toys in a big way.  I would almost say in a stalker kind of way, LOL.  We have had Melissa and Doug toys in the house since Shaun was a baby and he is now seven.  I can’t even tell you how many things Shae has from the lemonade stand to numerous play food sets.

Something about Melissa and Doug toys just draws me in.  Back over the summer we were at Border’s and I saw a huge section of items and we bought Shae the pizza set.  I liked the pizza set so much I went back two days later and got her the birthday cake set.  Melissa and Doug toys are built with imagination in mind for the little ones and big ones who will play with them.

We are excited to have received for overview the Purse Fill and Spill and the Mailbox Fill and Spill for our two nieces.  They are still babies but the thought of them growing up with Melissa and Doug toys like Shaun and Shae did is a really cool thought.  The toys are quality made and will last a long time no matter how hard you beat them up.

Here is a brief description of the Mailbox Fill and Spill:

Soft plush mailbox full of happy greetings for your baby. Peek inside through the see-through back panel, raise the flag and open the door to remove your mail. Find envelopes for many special occasions with removable stamps and other treats. Put them in, take them out, it’s always good news. Constructed of high quality fabrics and plastic for durable play. Recommended Ages: 2+ years

Here is a brief description of the Purse Fill and Spill:

Everything necessary for the little girl on the go! This soft play set includes a cell phone that chimes, a key ring with keys, a change purse with coins, and a compact with a child-safe mirror. Everything is easily removed and replaced into a charming purse with a purple handle. Constructed of high quality fabrics and plastic, this durable set will provide hours of pretend fun! Recommended Ages: 18+ months

If you have children on your holiday list this season check out Melissa and Doug as they have a great selection of baby and toddler toys and you can be sure they will have something for everyone.

Melissa and Doug is giving one lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too! reader a chance to win the mailbox fill and spill and the purse fill and spill.  Head over to Melissa and Doug and tell me what other products you like and if you win who will get this prize.

Holiday Wishlist 2010 – Comfy Sacks Bean Bag Chair Giveaway

November 3, 2010 by

Comfort is key when it’s time to settle down in the living room. Yeah the sofa and chairs are comfortable but you know what’s even better; a Comfy Sack. A Comfy Sack is a “bean bag” with a twist.

Comfy Sacks uses superior foam and quality fabrics than any other foam bag chair company on the market. Their foam is softer and more comfortable because they use premium furniture grade foam.


We received our Comfy Sack bean bag chair about a month ago and were amazed at the size of the box it same in. I knew we ordered a 6Foot Lounger but the package was no bigger than Shae. The process of opening it, setting it up and fluffing up the foam took just minutes but it was a hysterical few minutes. We were all amazed at the size it finally ended up being. Fully fluffed it is taller than Shae but soft enough that she can climb on easily. It may not have been the smartest idea to get such a large Comfy Sack because it takes up so much room but I can’t imagine not having it in the living room.

packed up tight

The 6 foot lounger is big enough the kids to all sit together and watch a movie and best of all big enough that Rob and I can take a quick nap on Saturday afternoon. Imagine having company over for football and having this for an extra 2 or 3 seats. It’s a perfect spot to tackle my niece and tickle her till she can’t breathe. It’s used so much that when we had to move it out of the room for a party my son cried thinking we got rid of it. A small bean bag chair would be perfect for a kid’s bedroom as a gaming seat, reading spot or quiet spot to just play, relax or doze. With plenty of colors and materials to choose from you can pop a Comfy Sack into almost any room for instant seating, comfort, warmth and play. I say play because we probably use it in ways we aren’t supposed to (like launching baby dolls into the air after jumping on it from the sofa).

This is a good fit for our family even though it takes up a ridiculous amount of space in our living room. This holiday season LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! is giving away a 3.5 foot suede Sack (winner chooses the color), $181 value. Visit Comfy Sacks and tell me which bean bag (size/color/style) would get the most use in your home.

Holiday Wishlist 2010 – Powermat

November 2, 2010 by

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.

The New Strawberry Shortcake

October 21, 2010 by

By now you should’ve heard about Shae’s newest love, Strawberry Shortcake. She’s been talking about it for weeks and keeps mentioning asking Santa. Back off Santa because I have it covered with the Strawberry Shortcake Berry Sweet Styles Playset.

Future fashionistas will love picking out fancy clothes and sparkly accessories inside the Strawberry Shortcake Berry Sweet Styles Playset! Girls can mix and match party dresses, playful skirts, stylish shirts and more to create any of 40 different possible outfits for their Strawberry Shortcake doll. No look is complete without a trendy hairdo, and girls can style Strawberry Shortcake’s hair with butterfly clips and additional accessories. One final look in the wardrobe mirror, and then Strawberry Shortcake is ready for a night on the town!

Shae hasn’t ventured into the “fashion” dolls yet, she’s still a baby doll kinda girl but I think this playset is a youthful and innocent introduction. I’m hoping Santa sends along some other playsets and characters from the Strawberry Shortcake brand.

Visit the Strawberry Shortcake website for videos, games and activites.

Fisher-Price Imaginext BIGFOOT the Monster Recap and Giveaway-CLOSED

October 1, 2010 by

I remember when I was a kid and toys were pretty basic and not a whole lot of fun. I would find myself getting bored pretty easily but now days toys are so high tech and provide hours of fun and entertainment for kids and sometime adults like me, LOL. A good example of a great new high tech toy that is limitless in its fun is BIGFOOT the Monster by Fisher-Price Imaginext.

We were lucky to have received BIGFOOT and I am glad we did. He is a pretty cool toy that comes with a rechargeable 7.2 volt NiMH battery and battery charger as well as a remote control that requires two AA batteries. One of the cool features of BIGFOOT is the remote control has symbols on the buttons which show you what BIGFOOT will do when you push that button. BIGFOOT shows a lot of emotion by being happy, angry, and sleepy. He walks and talks, chews and burps (he remembers to say “excuse me”), throws a ball and exercises as well. Who doesn’t love a monster that burps and exercises? Also, BIGFOOT is recommended for children between the ages of 3 and 8.

Before we received this for analyse Shae starting hanging out with an imaginary monster friend who ate with us and went places with us but now that we have BIGFOOT he is Shae’s new real monster friend who eats with her and goes places with her.  My kids love that BIGFOOT seems so alive and is able to do so many different things with the push of a button. My kids are easily bored but not with this as it provides endless fun and laughter.

If you have a child on your holiday list make sure you check out BIGFOOT the Monster by Fisher-Price Imaginext as he is a must have for this holiday season.

You can win your very own Fisher-Price Imaginext BIGFOOT the Monster valued at $100.  All you have to do is tell me who this would be for if you win and what other Fisher-Price Imaginext product you think is really cool.
