  1. Elf for Christmas : Magical Ef Door

    Posted on

    Christmas is officially around the corner and having now seen a certain Coca Cola advert at the weekend, the holidays are definitely coming.

    Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you can't have escaped the build up to Christmas with Elf posts all over social media last year and this year is destined to be even bigger and better with the introduction of the Magical Elf Door and personalised letters!

     Elf for Christmas Door

    If you honestly haven't heard about the Elf, it is the perfect way to create a modern family tradition, ‘Elf for Christmas’ is an enchanting toy and reward kit perfect for girls and boys aged two and over. You can choose from a girl or boy Elf and this charming toy brings fun and magic to your home throughout December – while promoting good behaviour and family engagement.

    We LOVED seeing the Elf mischief last year and cannot wait for our very own Elf, Pip to make his appearance on the 1st December. The Magical Elf Door is the perfect way for your Christmas Elf to travel back and forth from the North Pole to your home – the Magical Elf Door is new for 2018 and is sure to get the magic started this winter.

    One of the favourite things from last year was that Pip brought a letter with him every day and I was a little worried about re-using them again this Christmas but Elf for Christmas have thought about that too and added the bonus of having them personalised this year too.

    The Elf for Christmas Personalised Advent Letters are written directly to your child or children, from their very own Elf, and mention their hometown and the other people in their house throughout. How amazed will your little ones be when they see their Elf pal has written special letters just for them!

  2. Whats That Smell!

    Posted on

    My husband insists he is going to have the words "What's That Smell" engraved on my headstone. I very often walk into a room and say those infamous words, so when we were given an opportunity to review the new game "What's That Smell?" from WowWee, we jumped at the chance.  

    IMG_1181

    If you have teenagers you have probably already been through the food challenges they love to do and sometimes the worse the better, so we thought that this was an ideal game for a teenagers sleepover, because taking a sniff can make you a winner! 

    The game includes:

    • 48 mystery whiff cards
    • 4 STANK cards & scent-barrier bags
    • 6 cardholders
    • a sheet of whiff strips
    • scorepad
    • Instructions for 2-6 players ages 14+

    WW-WTS-1c_72ppi

    The best games are always the most simple ones and thankfully the format of this game is really simple. Every player has a card, the timer starts and you scratch and sniff using your whiff strip then write down the answer on your score pad. You get awarded extra points for guessing which category the scent is from and for sharing your funniest memory with it. 

    IMG_1182

    Some of the smells are sweet but there are also smells that are downright awful. I am not afraid to admit some definitely hit my gag reflex!  The winner of each round is crowned the Nose-It-All and gets to nominate someone to suffer the Whiff of Shame – 3 big sniffs of one the disgusting Stank Cards! ( I wouldn't recommend eating before doing this!!)

    IMG_1186

    This game can be played with or without the app. We didn't use it but think it could add another dimension to the game and you can use the app to track the number of players and sniffing time, earn extra bonus points by comparing guesses with other people who played the game, and record the priceless Whiff Of Shame. 

    8_WTS-app_72ppi

    We played this with the teenagers but can imagine an evening with friends, fuelled by a few cheeky drinks and this could be a hilarious game for adults too! 

    What's That Smell? game is not for the feint hearted but it is horrific and hilarious in equal measures and we hope that WowWee will add extension packs with new ranges of smells in the future.

    It would be a perfect gift this Christmas and we are delighted to be able to give our readers the chance to win the What's That Smell? Game which retails for £24.99 with Amazon, Smyths and Argos.

  3. Back To School With Moj Moj!

    Posted on

    Back to School. It seems like we have been back for weeks now. 

    The alarm clock goes off every morning and the dawning realisation that I have to brave the school run again dawns on me. The girls both (thankfully) enjoy school so once they are up there is never a huge drama about going (it is usually me they have to drag out of bed). 

    IMG_0387

    After the first week or so back, we were thrilled to receive a goody bag from our friends at Moj Moj. We like to think it was a reward for surviving the first week back at school and both girls dived into the mega bag of goodies to see what they had been sent. 

    As you can see, it was a truly great bag of goodies!

    IMG_0222

    Moj Moj are a big favourite in our house at the moment and we have talked about them recently on the blog. They are one of our current favourite collectibles as Moj Moj squish, squash and stretch and are totally adorable. Moj Moj are perfect for cute little collectors aged 5 and up.

    Each creature belongs to their own group of family which include Adventure Seekers, Party Animals, Couch Potatoes, Happy Campers, Sun Bathers and Day Dreamers.

    Each "blind bag" pack contains two Moj Moj and there are so many to collect, duplicates don't happen very often but even if they do, swapping with your sister, or your friends is half the fun. There are 95 squishy Moj Moj to collect and they come in all shapes and sizes with different animals and fun, bright colours to squash and squish.

    You can buy Moj Moj mystery packs at Smyths Toys, they are £3.99 a pack which makes them ideal pocket money treats.
