Whenever I'm looking for gifts for one of the many little boys in my life I know I can always count on toys from JAKKS Pacific Canada and Incredible Novelties for something fun and a little different! Being a boymom of three and an aunt and great aunt to another handful of little boys means I pretty much know the toy aisle inside and out! I'm always on the look out for new and interesting items, especially during the holidays. This year, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are all the rage … [Read more...]

Recently I've been having a ton of fun making gift baskets up for loved ones. I just love a nicely wrapped gift and I think a basket filled with fun items, all wrapped up in cellophane and a bow is a real showstopper! Recently I created the most adorable Bedtime Basket for my Great Nephew who is turning 2. It was filled with books, stuffed animals, pjs, a night lights etc and I wanted to create a similar basket for one of my own boys. But what to put in a Bedtime Basket for an older kid? I found … [Read more...]

My 8 yr old has been asking for a watch for a couple of years now, I'm not sure why he has this interest in knowing what time it is, but now that he's learning to tell time in school as well we thought this would be a great 'time' to get him one. The Kidizoom Smartwatch DX from a trusted brand like vtech seemed like a great choice! Not only does it tell the time in both digital and analogue, it does sooo sooo much more! My boy is as obsessed with sports as he is with electronics so I … [Read more...]

I'm always excited to see what's new in the world of toys and there's no better time than Christmas to really see what's out there for the little ones. I find that boys toys really stand the test of time, as some of the same toys my brother played with growing up, my own boys are playing with now. But toys are definitely getting more and more advanced and I'm hoping my non-techy brain can still figure them out as they evolve! I'm sure my boys will have them all figured out way before me though! … [Read more...]

A couple of years ago I was feeling stumped on something to get my boys for Christmas that was a little different. With three boys all close in age I felt like they had a lot of the same toys and needed something they hadn't seen before. A friend suggested Hexbugs and another chimed in that her boys really liked them too so I knew we were on to something. That year they received a Hexbug habitat and loved it, in fact, just the other day they had it out to play with again and realized … [Read more...]
