Kids love straws. There is no doubt about that. My kids go nuts when they get to use a straw. Most straws are very simple and boring. I bet most kids would love a little change when it came to straws! That's where Supper Sipperz come in!

Super Sipperz are brightly colored rubberized connectors and straws that provide hours of unexpected laughter and entertainment for kids and the entire family. The straws will inspire creativity and keep the kids entertained for hours! Plus, once they have their creations built, they can drink through their masterpiece!


Build a rocket, a castle, dinosaurs, trains, whatever you can think of! Here are some boredom busters you can do with Supper Sipperz:
Hold a timed contest to construct one of the design ideas on http://www.GetSuperSipperz.com
Set up your own Constrawction Zone and create an awesome wearable, drinkable hat, tiara or helmet
Snack time becomes fun time when kids assemble their own amazing creations to enjoy their favorite liquid

Super Sipperz connects easily and quickly, which means kids can immediately tap into their seemingly limitless imaginations to build hundreds of designs. Each order comes with one pair of wacky straw glasses, nearly 57 colorful straws in two different sizes, and tons of brightly colorful rubberized connectors along with one convenient wash and carry mesh bag.

Super Sipperz are affordable, dishwasher safe and reusable, keeping tight shopping budgets in line this holiday season.

Buy one (80 pieces) for only $9.95 and get the 2nd (80 pieces) for only $5.00! Now that's a deal! Especially when you have 2 kids like I do! My kids have already had so much fun building all sorts of neat things! It is so easy to clean up to! I just take them apart, put them in the mesh bag, and throw them into the dishwasher! 

Super Sipperz make the perfect holiday gift!

Gourmet Gift Baskets Review & Giveaway

Share

I love snacks. Maybe a little too much. I could literally, in a day, eat nothing but snacks, without actually eating a meal. I know that's not a good thing to do, but snacks are my weakness. So, you can imagine how excited I was when I learned I was going to receive a Gourmet Gift Basket!

To make things even better, the basket I received was the Snack Gift Basket! As soon as it was delivered, I quickly opened it and dug in! I did stop momentarily to admire the beautiful basket. Packed to nicely, very pleasing to the eye!

Here is what comes in the Snack Gift Basket:

· Dipping Pretzels by East Shore Specialty Foods - 6 oz. - East shore is known for their plump and salts pretzel sticks which are meant for dipping.
· Raspberry Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip by Robert Rothschild Farm - 7.8 oz. - This Robert Rothschild pretzel dip is a delicious blend of juicy raspberries, clover honey and tangy mustard. Not only does it have a distinctive flavor, but it's also all natural. Kosher and gluten free.
· Key Lime White Chocolate Chip Cookies by Brent & Sam's - 7 oz. - Made from scratch, these cookies have a crunchy style and are tangy yet sweet to the taste. The key lime flavor is perfectly balanced out by the sweetness of the white chocolate chips.
· Almond Pecan-dy Crunch by Morley Candy Makers - 9.25 oz. - This gourmet popcorn by Morley Candy Makers is renowned for being one of the best. With whole almonds and pecans, the irresistible buttery toffee evenly coats every bite.
· Salted Peanuts in Box by Feridie's - 7 oz. - Feridie's uses only the best of Virginia's peanuts, the top 2% of the crop each year. Once picked, they are roasted in pure peanut oil and salted to perfection.
· Petite Cheese Biscuits by Salem Baking Co. - 1.5 oz. - This beautiful tin is filled with savory, bite-sized biscuits that are baked with finely milled wheat flour and extra-sharp aged cheddar cheese. They are accented with the delicate crunch of toasted rice and a hint of cayenne and paprika.
· Metropolitan Trail Mix by GourmetGiftBaskets.com - 4 oz. - Our metropolitan mix is all natural and contains exotic fruit like papaya and pineapples as well as raisins, cranberries and bananas. It also has whole peanuts, almonds and pepitas.  It's a natural and delicious snack!
· Buttered Peanut Crunch by Old Dominion Peanut Company - 10 oz. - These peanut squares by Old Dominion can be found in all of our snack gift basket made with a bit of brown sugar and only the freshest grade AA butter. These ingredients combined with lightly salted peanuts makes for a scrumptious and crunchy treat.
· Peanut Roll by Dillon Candy Co. - 3 oz. - Dillion Candy starts their roll with a fluffy nougat center which is covered by a distinct layer of caramel and is then rolled in lightly salted peanuts. This amalgam of texture and flavors makes for the most delectable of peanut rolls.
· Coconut Bar by Oskri Organics - 2.2 oz. - This bar is 100% organic made of only fresh coconut and rice syrup. It has a delicious crunch and is sure to satisfy any coconut lover; that's why you'll find it in our gourmet snack foods baskets.


I really did love all of it! But, what I enjoyed the most were the Dipping Pretzels and the Salted Peanuts! I mixed them together and they were oh-so-yummy!! Even my kids enjoyed the basket. They really took a liking to the Buttered Peanut Crunch! 


I saved some of the Petite Cheese Biscuits for my mom. She will be here on Saturday to visit and told me she loves them! My mom and I like to snack together in the evenings when we are together, so I also saved some of the Key Lime White Chocolate Chip Cookies. That was a task in itself!

Check out this Extreme Tailgating Basket, perfect for football season now in full swing!

Gearing Up for the Holidays: Peaceable Kingdom Press Review & Giveaway

Tweet

Share

Little ones are so easy to buy for when it comes to the holidays. They are happy with everything they get! My boys get especially happy with games! I know I loved board games as a child! Still do!

Peaceable Kingdom Press has lots of games for little ones! I received the Milk & Cookies Spin & Go Board Game for review.

About the game:

Details:

• Dr. Toy 100 Best Children's Products of 2008
• Ages 4-8
• 2-4 players
• Plays in 15 or 30 minutes
• Little reading required
• $15.99

Includes:

• 48 tiles
• 1 game board
• 1 spinner
• 4 cookie jar markers
• Instructions for 2 levels of play
• Box measures 6.5" x 8" x 2.5"

Learning Skills:

• Visual and spatial reasoning
• Taking turns
• Counting and colors
• Challenge version offers strategic thinking

How to Play:

To start, players open the board and lay out the tiles in any random way, leaving the center space open. Each player chooses a cookie jar marker and places it in the center of the board. Spin the spinner, mover your marker and collect a tile. Get a milk carton, go again! Collect and replace tiles until one player wins! For a more challenging game, set up the board the same way, only each player chooses 1 or 2 types of cookies to collect. It's a more complex version for kids 6+ who are ready for a bit of a challenge and don't mind if their cookie crumbles!

Why families love this game:

This game makes your mouth water! It's easy to learn and simple to play. There is little reading required so it's perfect for the youngest gamers yet it has a built-in challenge version so the game ages with the children. This game teaches quick color recognition, helps children learn to count and see directional moves of play which helps develop their spatial and visual reasoning. Not to mention, the game pieces are hardy and feel good in your hand! Milk & Cookies makes a great gift!

I played the game with my 4 year old. He is supposed to be in Head Start right now, but they are still trying to get the program going. This game is perfect for me to help him learn while he is waiting to start school. It took him a few turns to get the hang of it. But, once he got it, there was no stopping him! He beat me 9 -16! I was very amazed, and very proud! 

He told me that he wants to play again and win again! He also wants to play with his older brother and teach him how to play! Oh, they grow up so fast! This game is a great learning game and I would recommend it!

Peaceable Kingdom Press sells many other games, as well as, stickers, gifts for toddlers, cards & stationary, and lost to do at the Kid's Corner! Got little ones at home? Want to give them some really neat gifts? Peaceable Kingdom Press can help you out!
