Cubetto – Screen-Less Coding For Kids
This post is part of a sponsored campaign for Primo Toys. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own.
I went to college for early childhood education for a couple of years. Part of the education I got involved learning about toys and which ones engage children for learning and which one's don't. Spoiler alert: many toys that people think are educational are not. Toys don't have to look like flash cards or a math board game to be educational! Often times Read more [...]
Pooch Perks Dog Subscription Box Review
Pooch Perks sent me subscription boxes for review. All opinions are my own.
In my house my dogs participate in Christmas, too. Growing up my mom kept stockings for our pets so it just seemed natural for me to get gifts for my dogs once I had some of my own.
Pooch Perks is a subscription box service for dogs that can cater to your specific needs. They offer two different sizes, one for dogs under 35 pounds and one for dogs over 35 pounds. They also let you subscribe to the size of box that you Read more [...]
Plazmatic X Fluid-Free Lighters Review
I was sent Plazmatic X lighters for review. All opinions are my own.
Plazmatic is a brand that offers fluid-free lighters. I was sent two of their Plazmatic X lighters to check out. These lighters look similar to a Zippo style lighter on the outside, but they don't contain or use any butane or other fluids. There is also no other piece to replace (such as a flint).

Unique Gifts For Boys From Hammacher

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 Read more [...]
Lux Blox Unique Building Blocks {Gifts For Kids}
I was sent Lux Blox for inclusion in my gift guide. All opinions are my own.
I have a nephew who is now a preteen. I only see him a few times a year, but one of those times is at Christmas. With me not seeing him as much, I don't know as much about his hobbies as I do some of the other children in my family. He's also getting to an age where kids tend to get more picky. When thinking about what to get him for Christmas this year, I kept going back to how I knew his main interest was in Legos. Read more [...]
