I love running toy giveaways. I know some little boy or girl will be getting an awesome present with this giveaway. Granted, you can’t get a security system with this, but instead, you will get some really awesome toys!
The winner is Rebecca! I will be contacting her shortly! Congrats, and I think Christmas morning at her house will be nice!
If you are looking for a very affordable gift for kids ages 3 – 7, then you must get the Poingo. With the Poingo, you are able to touch pictures and/or the text, the their favorite characters are brought to life with either music, sounds, and words. The best part is that the Poingo starter kit is $34.99 and is available at Target, Toys R Us, Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, and BJ’s Wholesale Clubs. It comes with the pen shaped Poingo and two large hardcover interactive storybooks. This is definitely affordable, and the starter kit is awesome. You don’t have to automatically buy another $100 worth of books right off the bat. You have a working system right from the start. The book choices are excellent. The books that came with ours are Cars and Finding Nemo, so it was definitely right up my kids alley. These movies are favorites in our house, so my kids had a definite interest in the books. They also have Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Winnie The Pooh. The pen itself is simple to use. All you have to do is click it on the part of the book with the words, and it will read that whole section. You can also click on the images and for sound effects. There are words that are highlighted also, and you get a definition of the word. You can also click on images and find out what they are or get a cool sound effect. Madison is actually able to take this and read the book by herself. She loves having that kind of independence. My kids love to read, so this is really a naturally progression for them.
This is one of the best affordable educational toys on the market for kids. I recommend checking it out — you can even try a demo here.
This is another unique toy from Oh! Toys. I think my husband was just as excited to play with this as Madison. This too is for ages 3 and up. However, this does come with marbles, so if you have kids younger than three, you need to be very careful (the rule here is that Madison can’t play with this unless Will is napping).
Again, this is another toy that I like, because it makes my kids think. It requires them to think and do problem solving using creativity. There are no bells and whistles; yet, Madison played with this for a good two hours the first day we took it out of the box. Basically, what you do is make a track for the marble to work its way down. Right now, Madison is making pretty basic tracks with it. However, daddy did help her make a more intricate system like this one:
Also, clean up is awesome. All of these pieces fit nicely into a bag that comes with it! You don’t have to worry about how you are going to get all the pieces back in perfectly so you can close the box. I also love that this is a toy that Madison can grow into. Right now, she is only making very basic designs. However, as she gets older, I know her designs will get more intricate. This will also make it through the wear and tear of several children too. It is made with good quality materials. TheCugolino set contains 37 pieces and is 100% compatible with cuboro’s classic system.

We all have those men in our lives that we never know what to get them. Remington has three new products this holiday season that would make great gifts for any men in the family – from teenage boys to grandpa. These gifts start off at $19.99, so they are not only affordable, they also make great stocking stuffers too! Bill, my wonderful husband, has been trying out some these new Remington products for me over the last couple of weeks.
The PG-350 is a 7-in-1 personal groomer. It has everything the men in your life could want. It has 10 adjustable settings for clipping sideburns, necks and a variety of hair lengths, as well as five adjustable settings for all styles of facial hair — goatees, soul patches, light two-day stubble, moustaches or beards of any length. It also comes with ear and a nose hair trimmer for that hair we prefer not to know about. It is rechargeable.
Best of all is the price: $19.99. We liked it here because it is a really good groomer set. It looks very high quality and works ten times better than the set he had before (which was nowhere near as big and costed me a lot more). He found it super easy to trim his goatee, and he highly recommends it.
Another cool product Remington has this season is the ShortCut Clipper. This is the first ever clipper system that lets guys cut their own hair without having to worry about missing spots on the back of their heads or even messing up their hair. It is actually pretty cool, because you use it like you do a comb, and you are able to adjust it to five different lengths. (I had to giggle when I saw the balding comb attachment, but people do need that). Cleaning this is such a breeze too. You just rinse them off! The cost for this is $29.99.
Lastly, there is the Flex360 electric shaver. This has be my most favorite shaver out there. Bill has tried out several electric shavers in the past and none ever give him a close enough shave in my opinion. By five o’clock, he would have a noticeable five o’clock shadow. In his line of work, that really isn’t all too acceptable. However, with this razor, he does not have that problem! It also has a pop-up trimmer for precision grooming. The Flex360 also has worldwide voltage so men can easily use it wherever they travel. We do a lot of traveling, and I have to admit, that this shaver makes me feel safer. I always had to worry that the kids would get their hands on his razor and cut themselves. With the kids now, I don’t have to worry about this. There are four models that range in price from $34.99 to $74.99, so you can get the one that best serves your needs.
We have owned Remington in the past, and it is a good high quality brand. Any man in your life would be happy to open up one of these Christmas morning!
