Fraggle Rock: A Merry Fraggle Christmas and The Complete Final Season Review!

Lionsgate sent us these two DVDs to review and I was so excited to watch them as I grew up watching Fraggle Rock. Unfortunately my children weren't as excited. Anyways, Fraggle Rock A Merry Fraggle Christmas has the entire gang in 3 episodes of fun. In the 3 episodes there is a lot of fun with music, learning the value of generosity, and friendships make holidays so special. It brought back memories sitting and watching this. Although, I myself wouldn't go out to purchase this it is a great flashback watching it. Here are a few extra features the DVD has:

• Animated Episode: "The Great Fraggle Freeze"
• EMMET OTTER'S JUG-BAND CHRISTMAS Sing-Along
• A Look at Jim Henson's THE CHRISTMAS TOY
• Traveling Matt's Holiday Trivia
• Holiday Game


Fraggle Rock The Complete Final Season I actually decided not to open and give as a gift because the kids weren't "into" the first one. I thought it would be best to give it to someone who would watch it more often than us. Here is the product description of the final season:

"Let the music play and complete your collection with season 4 of FRAGGLE ROCK, featuring the final 24 episodes, including the touching series finale. Enjoy the Fraggle-filled musical fun with the cantankerous Gorgs, industrious Doozers, and the silly creatures from " Outer Space” – Doc and Sprocket – in this 5-disc set! Experience exclusive bonus features such as behind-the-scenes interviews with the puppeteers, take a peek inside the final day of shooting, and discover the evolution of the Fraggles’ beloved toe-tappin’ theme song! So save your worries for another day, because you can never leave the magic of Fraggle Rock!"

and of course the extra bonus features:

• Nearly 2 Hours of Bonus Features including:
• The Inner Gorg - An Interview with the Performers inside the Costumes
• Designing the Puppets - An Interview with the Puppet Makers
• Directing the Fraggles - An Interview with Eric Till and George Bloomfield
• Let the Music Play - An Interview with Phil Balsam and Dennis Lee
• Dance Your Cares Away - The Evolution of the Theme Song
• You Cannot Leave the Magic - Excerpts from the Last Day of Shooting
• Celebrating FRAGGLE ROCK - Excerpts from the Wrap Party

This would make a great stocking stuffer gift for the ultimate Fraggle Rock fan.

iCarly Sams Remote Review!

Gavyn is growing up so fast and knowing that my little boy watches the hit show iCarly kinda breaks my heart because it seems like yesterday he was watching Blue's Clues and Sesame Street. This mom has no idea what the show is about but Gavyn loves it.

iCarly tells the story of Carly, a smart and sweet middle schooler, who accidentally creates a hit webshow where kids can do and say anything they want, essentially empowering individuality! Carly runs the webshow with the help of her two best friends, outspoken Sam and their technical producer Freddie, who also happens to be in love with Carly. iCarly is the first live action kids’ show to use user-generated content sent in from real kids on iCarly.com, and is the perfect show for web-savvy kids (and moms!).

Have I got a wonderful stocking stuffer gift idea for you. If you have a child who loves the hit show, Playmates Toys have this fun new toy available and it's a must have! It's Sam's Remote, and it's just like the real one. How many kids can say they have it? Not many. It's blue with 4 buttons all of which do something. There is an applause which Zoe has a blast pushing. This mom has fun pushing it also when the kid's do something great like help cleaning up, playing nice together and when Zoe shares. Then there's the boo button. I love this button when Zoe is throwing her tantrums. Hey is this a gift for kids or moms? Gavyn pushes the boo button all the time, I think it's his favorite. Then there's the random dancing button which plays a short tune and we all get up and dance around. It's so much fun for the family. The last button is the sound bytes button which has random noises that are funny. The kids love this toy and it seems durable so it's going to last a while. It sounds just like the show and is very believable if your an iCarly fan. This is a must have toy for iCarly fans and a wonderful stocking stuffer idea. Your child is going to believe he is Sam! It does have a suggested age of 6 and up but Zoe had a blast and of course mom did at 20 something :)

You can purchase Sam's remote at major retailers like Walmart and Target.

Fray Baby Bibs and More Baby Doll Cloth Diapers Review & Giveaway! CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED! CONGRATULATIONS COMMENT #35 ANDREA V


Seeing that I just did my review on the Goldberger Willow doll and the Baby Alive Whoopsie Doo doll what a better way to promote my review of Fray Baby Bibs and More adorable baby doll diapers. Fray Baby Bibs and More sell handmade boutique style gifts. I have many baby dolls in my home that go through store bought diapers like crazy. The tabs lose their stickiness and before you know it your getting the packing tape out to stick to the diapers. Not at all convenient.

Liz sent me an extremely adorable paisley cloth baby doll diaper to review and I have to say how cute it is. It's made with 100% cotton designer fabrics and flannel. I must say they are soft and you can tell it's quality. They have velcro closures for an adjustable fit. This diaper fits perfect around the Baby Alive doll and I can't tell you how excited I am to just wash the diaper and save on all the money from buying store bought. This is much easier for Zoe then a regular diaper. Oh and she also sells terry cloth "inserts" for the cloth diaper (just like real cloth diapering!. Inserts are made of 2 layers of terry cloth and a layer of waterproof liner. Inserts are $10 for a set of 3.
I'm not a cloth diapering mom but I am a new cloth diapering baby doll lover. These are fantastic, super stylish and any little girl would love these on her baby dolls.

Liz has a great sale going on right now over at her etsy shop. Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday Sale - 25% off your entire order! PLUS, all orders over $20 get a free gift of your choice - a mini wallet, adjustable child's belt, fabric covered photo album or a fabric covered address book! Just put EtsyHolidaySale in notes to seller!

Baby Alive Whoopsie Doo Review!

If you have little girls to shop for this year, the Baby Alive Whoopsie Doo doll by Hasbro would be a great gift. Any little girl would love almost any doll but how about a doll that goes potty just like her? We received the doll for a review and Zoe loves her. She's a baby doll that drinks her juice and "poops and pees". Just like the real thing. Zoe is too cute with her Baby Alive doll. She loves to feed her and asks me to help her change her diaper when she is messy. I love that she make Whoopsie Doo sit on her potty chair also. I love the pretend play. When you push the little bracelet on her arm she coos, cries, and giggles. Zoe gets very emotional when she is upset and pats her back to make everything OK. I love watching how Zoe's emotions are with her and how happy she is when the baby is happy and how concerned she is when she is crying.

From the site:

"Playing “mommy” is more fun than ever with this BABY ALIVE doll that “eats” and “poops” just like a real baby! Feed her or give her a bottle, and then get ready to change her messy diaper! She’ll cry and kick when she needs a change and wiggle and coo when she’s happy—so you’ll always know just how your little one needs you to care for her! Doll comes with bottle, 2 packets of doll juice mix, 2 doll diapers, rattle and t-shirt. Includes 4 “AA” POWRFUEL batteries. Ages 3 and up."

What did I think about Baby Alive Whoopsie Doo? Well, I think she is a fun toy for toddler girls age 3 or older. Younger children need help feeding and changing so they may lose interest and get frustrated. She wiggles her arms and legs which let's the pretend mommy know it's time to play or time to be changed. I like that she comes with a toy and she comes adorably packaged making it look like she is in a car seat.

You can purchase extra juice mix and diapers separately. This is a must have doll for little girls this holiday season. I remember my Baby Alive doll and loved her just as much as I love this one. Cute, fun, and keeps children entertained! You can purchase her at Hasbro for $29.99.

IBW Books Giveaway! CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED! CONGRATULATIONS COMMENT #15 JAMIE


I'm so excited that Interactive Book-Webscene (IBW) wanted to be apart of my gift guide this year. If you remember I did a review and giveaway for them back in July and you can read that post here.

Interactive Book-Webscene (IBW) storytelling process combines print text with the interactivity of multimedia: At the end of each chapter, kids are directed to a weblink, called a webscene. Going online to the webscene, they find an animation (and, perhaps, other additional multimedia such as music, games and video) that is an integral part of the story. Once they view the animation, they return to the book to read another chapter, find another link to a webscene, and so on.

The series includes....

The Busy Preschoolers Guide to Learning – fun, original plays, poems and activities built around the letters of the alphabet. Step-by-step help guides parents in how to use everyday situations to teach 105 skills kids need before they walk in the kindergarten door. Simple, detailed directions included with each letter’s activity make it easy for a parent. The activities use multiple approaches to address each child’s individual learning style (e.g. visual, kinetic or auditory). The book provides additional online activities that further the learned skills of each activity in the book.


In The Busy Preschooler’s Guide to Learning’s first poem, children explore “A is for Air.” Then they head online to the webscene for additional learning, including the ABC-TRACE-123™ handwriting activity in which they click and drag animal icons for a fun way to learn letter strokes. Check out the animated webscene for “A is for Air” and the ABC-TRACE-123™ at www.BusyPreschoolers.com/a

and.....

KA Reader – great both as beginning readers and as read-to-me stories that help develop vocabulary through word families (e.g. the –at family: at, bat, cat, etc.). While similar to the rhyming and rhythmic style of Dr. Seuss, instead of only two or three words from a pattern family mingled with nonsensical words, these titles use 85 to 100% of a word pattern’s words. Webscenes include pop-up words that act like animated flashcards. Step-by-step lessons written in straightforward language make it easy to select sections appropriate for a child’s learning level. Online activities assess progress in areas such as comprehension, vocabulary, and spelling. (May especially interest homeschoolers.)

KA Reader – Don’t Frown, Clown! features three mice who try to cheer up their sad friend by doing circus tricks. After reading chapter three of the book, kids go online to view the action at www.KA-Reader.com/9-3

KA Reader series books currently available (more in the works):
Super Hero
It’s a Party!
A Day at the Zoo
The Fang Gang
A Scary Day in the Forest
Where Can Lost Bee Be?
Hoops in the Coop
Coming Home
Don’t Frown, Clown!

Here is some text from my review:

"We loved reading a chapter of the book and then heading to the computer for the webscenes. The webscenes are very colorful and shows a picture of the word patterns with the word. The kids really enjoyed that. Click Here to view a sample webscene. Gavyn, would say hey we just read about that, or let's go read the next chapter. He says this is a mystery mommy because I can't see pictures. Which is great he had to think about it, use his imagination. Zoe enjoyed going to the computer and pointing and telling me what she sees. It's very fun for the kids and us as parents also. The text is quite large so that makes it very easy to read. Each book contains an about the book section, Spanish text on the opposite page, the webscenes which are the animations, the story theme, word pattern families, word count and the reading grade level on the back of the book and online links to Reading Support Activities. This is so great for children especially to help with reading, and great fun for the summer months. Kids will not be bored reading anymore with IBW! Gavyn loves it even more now!"

BUY IT: You can purchase books at www.IBW-Books.com through December 31st at up to 75% off the retail price!!

WIN IT: One of your will win.....

The Busy Preschooler’s Guide to Learning – fun activities built around the letters of the alphabet, with step-by-step help to guide parents in using everyday situations to teach 105 skills kids need before they walk in the kindergarten door. Includes 26 animated webscenes!

OR

The Ultimate Cloth Review!

My biggest addiction? Cleaning! Crazy I know but that is what I do. I clean with everything out on the market. I am always on the look out for safe products to clean with around my home especially since I have little ones. When introduced to the Ultimate Cloth I was excited. The Ultimate Cloth is an eco-friendly solution to cleaning. You don't have to use any chemicals just the Ultimate cloth and water. The Ultimate Cloth uses MiraFiber Technology. It has open spaces between fibers that act as millions of tiny 'scoops' that pull dust, dirt, oil & other contaminants into the cloth and hold them until washed away with mild soap or detergent. (Can also be bleached for disinfection.)

Now here I go off to clean... The first stop was my TV. This has to be the best cloth I have ever used on it. It left it dust free and streak free all without chemicals. Bye bye microfiber and paper towels! Another place I love using The Ultimate Cloth is on my ceramic top stove. It leaves it extremely shiny, streak free and clean as well as my laptop monitor. There are no chemicals remember so The Ultimate Cloth will not damage. I love this cloth!

The Ultimate Cloth does have a few rules you should follow. They are:

1. Use the cloth damp.
2. You can wash it and bleach it but don't use any fabric softeners
3. Money back guarantee
4. Use on all hard surfaces
5. Tell everyone you know about The Ultimate Cloth :)

You can purchase your very own Ultimate Cloth starting at just $6.00. Your getting a deal there when you think about how much everything would normally cost to clean. This would be a great stocking stuffer gift!

FREE FREE FREE: If you would like to try the Ultimate Cloth just click here and pay shipping. How cool is that???

Play-Doh Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe Review & Giveaway! CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED! CONGRATULATIONS COMMENT #261 Ms. Cindy



Play-Doh is such a old past time for me that is so enjoyable. When I was growing up we didn't have all the cool play sets that Play-Doh has now. Zoe loves Play-Doh and asks on a daily basis to play with it. She loves cutting it and making cool stuff with it. When I showed her the Play-Doh Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe her eyes lit up with joy. Who doesn't love ice cream and to make fun ice cream treats with Play-Doh so fun! This is a fun toy for any little one.

The Play-Doh Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe was Parents Magazine 2008 Best Toys of the Year Award. Make ice cream sundaes, ice cream cones, or ice cream in cups. The main part in the center is where you put your Play-Doh for all of that. It swirls down into the cone or cups in whatever color you choose. The colors that came with the shoppe are green, pink and brown. There are two different swirl designs to choose from. Doesn't Zoe's chocolate soft cone look so real?

Then on the side you can make some sprinkles for your treat. Included in the set is sprinkle Play-Doh something new to me.


The other side makes yummy pretend whipped cream for your sundae. It's very fun and your child will make all sorts of masterpieces. There are over 40 molds on this as well. Make pretzels, candy, even delicious cakes. Great molds for toppings. Don't forget the cherry! It will give you endless hours of fun, yummy make believe treats, and snacks. There are also spoons included.

Zoe and Gavyn loved it. Zoe needed a lot of help as it is for ages 3+ but had much fun making the molds. Gavyn had a little difficulty pushing down on the handle to get his Play-Doh ice cream to come out, and it has a lot of little nooks and crannies so cleanup is a bit of a pain but other than that you and your children will have a blast using the Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe. This would make a great gift for any boy or girl this holiday season :O)

BUY IT: You can purchase the Play-Doh Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe at Hasbro for $14.99

WIN IT: One of my readers will win the Play-Doh Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe

Brugo Review & Giveaway! CLOSED!

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED! CONGRATULATIONS COMMENT #61 Chacoy pronounced: Sha-coi

The weather is getting much colder which means coffee, tea, hot cocoa and cappuccino. I'm a huge coffee drinker and I'm always taking it on the go. I also stop and purchase it at the stores as well as cappuccino. You know that it tends to be very hot and you cannot drink it for quite sometime. Brugo is a solution for you. Brugo is a travel coffee mug stating it gives you the perfect degree of coffee. Here is more about Brugo:

"BRUGO (brugomug.com) is patented technology that allows coffee and tea enthusiasts to enjoy every sip of their hot beverage in the “Perfect Temperature Zone”, while eliminating the spills, spatters and burned lips that are a familiar part of the “to-go” coffee experience.
Fresh coffee is brewed at 205 degrees, but its vibrant flavors are most distinguishable and pleasing at around 150 to 170 degrees. By using a simple “tip and sip” motion, BRUGO™ users transfer sip-sized amounts (one fluid ounce) of their hot beverage to the temperature control chamber, where it immediately reaches this Perfect Temperature Zone. Only the liquid in the chamber is cooled and only this liquid exits the sip opening. This inventive system eliminates the need for coffee drinkers to blow on their beverage, add ice to it, or wait for it to cool.
The BRUGO™ lid has three options: LOCK, TIP & COOL, and SIP. The LOCK setting seals the mug and is perfect for transporting the beverage without spilling. TIP & COOL gives the consumer the full benefits of the temperature control chamber. Once the beverage in the mug has cooled to a palatable temperature, users simply turn the dial to SIP and drink the beverage directly."

Did it live up to what it says it does? Sure did. No more waiting for coffee to cool and I love that you can lock the lid. When I leave work in the morning I have my Brugo in one hand, along with my purse, my work bag, and carrying Zoe quite often. Basic mugs would cause my hot coffee to spill out which "may" cause burns. The Brugo locks so I don't have to worry about that. Everytime I tip the cup the coffee goes into that chamber letting it cool down so my coffee wasn't scalding when I was ready to drink it. Brugo is a very cool mug and if your children love hot chocolate this would be perfect. Kids cannot drink hot beverages and this would solve the problems of hot cocoa being too hot. Just pour it in the Brugo and let your kids sip away. I love it!

The Brugo mug comes in an array of colors and styles. They are very attractive with chrome accents. Prices start at $19.95.

BUY IT: This would be a perfect gift for any lover of hot beverages. Head on over to www.brugomug.com to purchase yours.

WIN IT: One of my readers will win a Brugo mug.

MANDATORY ENTRY: Head on over to www.brugomug.com and tell me what color you would love to own

Goldberger Toy Seedlings Doll Review & Giveaway! CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED! CONGRATULATIONS COMMENT #101 LIZ


Baby dolls have always been a favorite of mine. My parents tell me stories of myself sitting in my room with all my baby dolls around me just playing with them and taking care of them. So when I had my daughter I was thrilled to have dolls in my home. She loves them like I did and feeds them, plays with them and nurtures them. It's so cute and just pure joy to watch her play. When Goldberger Toy asked if I wanted to review a doll I gladly said yes. If you don't know who Goldberger is I'll give you a little information:

"Goldberger Dolls opened its doors in Brooklyn, New York, in 1916.

For nearly a century we have continuously created plaything of quality and delight for girls all over the world. Over the years, the Goldberger name has been Goldberger Dolls, EeGee and EG. The Goldberger Company is nearing its 100th Birthday - that's nearly a century of creating toddler specific toys, dolls, bears and more recently toddler water wonders!
Our focus:

Playthings for children in their earliest years help to shape how they grow and learn. The care and attention we put into our toys is returned tenfold by the ways they nourish and teach the children who play with them. "

I wanted a doll that was different then the basic plastic dolls that we all buy. I already have so many of those for Zoe. So I chose a seedlings doll. This adorable plush doll is an eco-friendly doll and natural. There are no harsh chemicals making it safe for your child. You've seen many posts with me talking about the lead scare so I love that these dolls are safe. I chose Willow for Zoe because she is just darling. She is made from cotton fibers and comes with a cloth diaper and a bottle. Zoe sleeps with her everyday and brings her along on trips and to the baby sitters. It's her little baby and she loves it so much. She is also machine washable so I don't have to worry about dirty dolls. You know how yucky they can get throughout the year. Willow is a great doll with great details and would be a wonderful gift for any little girl. You can check out the other seedling dolls Goldberger has to offer in their online store. If you own a Goldberger doll you can also register your doll so you may be included in future offers, discounts, and updates!

Goldberger sell dolls for infants to age 3+. I love that they have a lifetime guarantee. They are the first doll company to offer this because they have a belief that dolls should be loved for a lifetime. I so agree with that! Your going to fall in love with the toys and dolls Goldberger has to offer. I know I have.

Soy Candles by Soy Delites Review & Giveaway! CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED! CONGRATULATIONS COMMENT #18 DEBBIEKL


I am a huge candle lover. Every night when I get home from work I light the candles because I love how candles make my home smell. When people walk into my home the first thing I want them to notice is how it smells. Nobody wants a bad smelling home. Soy candles are a new fascination I have and I'll tell you why.

~They help the environment
~little to no soot
~Burn much slower meaning the candle lasts longer
~They smell amazing

I was just introduced to Soy Delites. Soy Delites is a husband and wife team based out of Austin, TX. They launched in April of 2003 after learning the amazing benefits of soy, how great they smelled, and how long they lasted.


Christy the owner sent me a few products to try out and I have to tell you how happy I am with the product, quality and the scent. Soy candles by Soy Delites come in a textured glass that look like tiny squares making them very attractive. The candles inside these glass jars are white making them match any room you decide to put them in. They burn for hours and hours. I was sent the Pomegranate and the Vanilla scents and I will tell you the scent smells the same as when I first lit them. I have bought many candles in the past that lose their scent, or when you burn them your home doesn't even smell of anything. I don't know about you but I purchase candles for the way my home smells when I burn them. Yes they are pretty to just burn but I want scent. I have one of these on my dining room table and the other on my stove. I was also sent an assortment of scented tealights consisting of 10 tealights of 2 each of the following scents: cucumber melon, ginger lemongrass, pomegranate, sandalwood amber, and vanilla. I have these up in my bedroom in a candle holder I have. We burn these quite often and again they smell amazing. I am so impressed with how yummy and sweet these smell and how natural, how much aroma is in my home with just a 5oz and 9oz candle burning plus how long they burn. Don't be to scared of the price because these are actually priced much better than others on the market and these are in my opinion much better. I will be purchasing more in the future.

Soy Delites offers a discount on your next order if you send back the glass jars when your finished burning. I love that they recycle and that says a lot for a company. Shop for candles for anyone for Christmas. These would make a great gift. There are many scents to choose from so whether you like citrus or flowery scents you will find what suits you best.

WIN IT: One of my readers will win a 9 oz glass candle in your choice of scent

MANDATORY ENTRY: Head on over to Soy Delites and tell me what scent you will get if you win.

Chef'n VeggiChop Review & Giveaway! CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED! CONGRATULATIONS COMMENT #4 XENIA




I'm a lover of home cooked meals which means a lot of chopping of onions, celery, carrots, and peppers. Hand dicing and mincing is very time consuming. Getting out my food processor and putting it together takes to much time so I just rather do it by hand. Chef'n has a cool gadget called the VeggiChop which is very simple to use and chops my veggies in a flash. Here is a little it about Chef'n:

"We’re a growing Seattle-based company with more than 250 product patents worldwide and a single mission. We want to make better tools so you can make better food. It’s what drives our in-house design team to reinvent the utensils and gadgets that most of us take for granted while we’re cooking and cleaning. It’s what attracts the terrific, talented people we’ve welcomed into our Chef’n family. And it’s what compels us to tell everyone we meet about the innovation Chef’n products can bring to their kitchens."

I was able to review the VeggiChop and I have to tell you I'm in love. This gadget is so fun and easy to use. It has a container, lid with a pull mechanism and the blade with a safety feature. Put your veggies or whatever you want to chop inside the container, put the lid on and pull. Yep you pull up a handle that turns the blades, causing them to chop up your veggies. The more pulls the more chopped. It's that simple. You can have a course chop, a medium chop or a fine chop. You can even pull many times and have a puree. It's a wonderful product. Gavyn even has a blast using it. This product is all done by hand and no electricity or batteries needed. The VeggiChop cut all my vegetables in no time at all for my beef stew. I didn't have to worry about getting out a knife, or cutting board and there is virtually no cleanup. VeggiChop you are my favorite new kitchen gadget!

Chef'n has great products like the grinders that are sleek and stylish making anyone want to display salt and pepper and cool fun innovative gadgets. The salad spinner looks like a great product that is on my Christmas list. Chef'n would make any woman happy this holiday season. Have a look around. Unique, stylish and very attractive products for the kitchen!

WIN IT: One of my readers will win a Chef'n VeggiChop!

Mandatory Entry: Head on over to Chef'n and tell me another product that you would love

Automoblox Review & Giveaway! CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED! CONGRATULATIONS COMMENT #27 DANA




Both of my kids love playing with cars. Pushing them back and forth is a fun activity they play together. Automoblox brings car playing to the next level. These cars allow children to create their own styles while using their imagination and being creative. These cars are made of high quality wood. Not only are these cars that your child can play with, they are building cars as well. They come apart into many pieces. Gavyn has already asked me for more so he can mix and match colors having different colored tires and people. He has so much fun creating his own style of car.

T900
The designs of these are very appealing, and beautiful. The quality is amazing and the wood is smooth. They are very durable and sturdy. The age for these wooden cars are 3+ so I did take the people away from Zoe as she still loves putting tiny objects in her mouth, so for safety reasons she will not have the people.

We were sent the pink C9 Sportscar which is very girly and attractive. If you have a girl that loves cars this would be a great gift. Gavyn was sent the blue S9 Sedan . He loves how "cool" this car looks and he really enjoys it. He tells me he will have this for a lifetime because it's wood and it can handle anything. No way was he putting pink on his car though. So Santa if you hear me please send Gavyn a new car for Christmas. He is really loving the new exclusive, very attractive, stylish, sleek T900 truck. It's brand new and has just been released. Mom and Dad definitely give them 2 thumbs up. Here is everything we love about Automoblox:

~Solid hardwood
~Interchangeable
~Multi-use
~Developmental benefits
~Many styles and colors to choose from
~Sleek design and durable
~All kid powered, no noise, no batteries
~Parts department

Yes, I said parts department. You can purchase replacement wheels and tires for the cars in an assortment of colors. So much fun for the kids. Automoblox also have minis. Same great fun just smaller. Perfect for smaller hands and start at just $10.00 for one or $30.00 for 3 packs. Great gifts for every child.

The only thing that may scare you is the price...but that is justified once you see how beautifully made Automoblox cars are. These will go from generation to generation!

WIN IT: One of my readers will win either one Original full size car(C9, S9, or T9) OR the C9, S9, T9 mini three packs in red/blue/green.

MANDATORY ENTRY: Head on over to Automoblox and tell another one you would love and who this is for if you win.
