I was sent product from Hammacher for my gift guide. All opinions are my own.
I’ve included Hammacher in our gift guide for several years now. I love the Hammacher website because they have so many unique gift ideas for all ages. They have an entire selection of exclusive gifts, as well as a large selection of The Only items. The Only items might be available for purchase elsewhere, but it’s the only product of that type. For example, The Only Automatic Cordless Tire Inflator is the only automatic cordless tire inflator on the market.
If you’re looking for a unique gift for someone, browse the Hammacher website and you might find the perfect thing. In many cases the Hammacher site has introduced me to products that I didn’t even know existed.
This year, I chose two gift items from Hammacher for my nephews. I have one nephew who loves to play outside. His birthday is in August and I always get him some sort of outdoor toy. It’s tough to know what to get him in the winter, though. He plays outside a lot even in the winter, but there just seem to be very few winter toys that aren’t based around sledding and he doesn’t have a hill in his yard.
When I came across the 80 foot snowball launcher I knew this would make the perfect gift for him. You pack snow into the top of it and it forms a snowball for you and then launches it up to 80 feet! Here in Michigan we have snow pretty consistently all winter so I know this will get lots of play from him over the winter. This is aimed at ages 8+ making it a great gift for preteens and teens.
For another nephew I chose the The Foldaway Stuntscape. My 6 year old nephew loves all cars but he is particularly interested in emergency vehicles such as cop cars and fire engines. The Foldaway Stuntscape is a really unique toy. When folded up it is a large fire truck toy with wheels that really move so you can push it along and play with it as a large fire truck. However, it can also unfold to reveal the “city” inside. It has a small town setting with roads, a loop, a parking garage with a spiral ramp and more. It comes with five mini die-cast cars including a police car and a firetruck which I know my nephew will be really excited about. This set is currently for sale at just $29.95, it is regularly $49.95 so it’s quite a deal.
Hi there! I am Emily Evert, the owner of Emily Reviews. I am 28 and live in a small town in Michigan with my boyfriend Ryan and our two pugs. I have a large family and I adore my nieces and nephews. I love reading memoirs, and learning about child development and psychology. I love watching The Game of Thrones, Teen Mom, Sister Wives and Veep. I like listening to Jason Isbell, John Prine, and other alt-country or Americana music. I created Emily Reviews as a creative outlet to share my life and the products that I love with others.
These look like so much fun! I’ll definitely have to check them out for my 7 year old. As he gets older it gets so much harder for me to find things that he’ll enjoy playing with. These look perfect!
All I can say is that my 8 nephews would be all over the snowball launcher. They range in age from 17 to 2 yrs old and they all love the snow and this would be such fun for them.
