CurlyQ Cuties: Design-It-Yourself Monster

Talk about F-U-N! My daughter had a blast creating her very own monster online from CurlyQ Cuties. This company provided the handmade monster for the review.

The process was so easy and their website was super easy to navigate through. We had her adorable monster created in no time and it arrived very quickly. They have a TON of options to choose from. You choose the eyes, body shape, color, belly design, etc. You and your loved one will have a great time together searching through their many choices.

The monster my daughter received in very high in quality and looks just like the finished image she saw online. It's adorable on its own, but knowing she created it makes it even better! She feels so special with her one-of-a-kind stuffed toy!

Head on over to CurlyQ Cuties to see what they have to offer! These would make excellent holiday gifts this year.

Play Outdoors: Here's a Hoodie Worth Giving a Hoot About

We've found the hoodie of our dreams. Meet the Quiksilver Boys All Day Deluxe Fleece Hoodie from Play Outdoors. Ohhh, it's a beauty. Trust me, the picture doesn't do it justice.

Play Outdoors sent us this amazing jacket to review. Normally we use a hoodie for the fall, and when winter hits, we switch to a heavier jacket. However, with this new hoodie, we can use the same jacket all the way through until spring hits.

This trendy hoodie features oh-so-soft sherpa fleece lining in the body and hood. It's so luxurious and warm. Even though this hoodie is lined, it's doesn't feel or look bulky. Since it's black in color, it can go with many outfits.

I was very pleased with the look, feel and quality right out of the box. I instantly knew just by touching it that it was a winner.

Here is more about it from their website:

Why change jackets throughout the day when Quiksilver’s got one that displays your cool factor from sunup to sundown (and even during some of those dark hours in between). The Quiksilver Boys All Day Deluxe Hoodie shows your young man ain’t-afraid-to-rock fashion sense with its custom screenprint and huge Quiksilver logo. But, the best part is a bit of a secret: the insanely warm and soft sherpa fleece lining the entire inside. Who says you have to freeze to look cool?

Play Outdoors brings you sporty, stylish childrens outdoor clothing, gear, and accessories from respected brands like Spyder, Dakine, Sherpani, Naturino, Outside Baby, Kelty Kids, Mountain Sprouts, and more.

Play Outdoors would like to offer you 10% OFF your order with the discount code: PlayWithFunky! Hurry over - offer expires November 8, 2009.

Just the name alone draws you in...Butterscotch Blankees. What is it? Yummy goodness? Delicious treats? Well - yes, only you can't eat it, but you can snuggle with it. And who wouldn't want to get cozy with a personalized blanket from this knock out company!

Butterscotch Blankees sent me a beautiful blanket personalized for my son to review. I chose their Blanket Design 10 and it turned out better than I had imagined. I was able to choose the colors and font. I chose the font shown with light blue for the blanket color and navy for the accent color. What a hit! My son thinks it's the coolest blanket ever and he'll be using this for years to come.

Looking for a unique baby shower gift? Check out their personalized blanket collection. You'll find such sweet styles for a little girl and boy.

This company also makes personalized pillows! I was sent their Pillow Design 2 and it looks amazing. I chose chocolate brown for the pillow color and light pink for the accent color. It turned out phenomenal and really makes a statement in our master bedroom. What a great pillow to give as a gift this holiday season!

ItzaBitza: Greatest Game Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Melanie!

I'm always on the hunt for interactive educational games for my children. Just when I thought I knew it all, ItzaBitza proved me wrong! This computer game is a HUGE HIT in my home! This company sent over their wonderful game for my family to test out and we've been loving it ever since.

My daughter is 5 years old and she can already read very well. ItzaBitza is terrific for early readers. She loves being able to navigate through the game herself. If there is a word she doesn't know, all she has to do is place the cursor over the word and it is spoken for her.

Now for the really FUN part! My kids could literally draw all day. When they found out their very own drawings were incorporated into the game, they were amazed. Even I thought that was the coolest feature ever! Draw yourself a pet and watch it interact with you. Draw a house and see it come to life!

Your kids will love ItzaBitza! It's one amazing game for kids!

Here is more about it from their website:

Draw a house and watch Sketchy shrink to fit in the door; draw flames and watch the rocket ship blast off; draw a triangle for the wheel of the farmer’s tractor just for a laugh.

In the award winning game ItzaBitza™ , drawings truly come to life. Kids help their Sketchy by using Living Ink™ – a unique drawing recognition system – to draw one-of-a kind interactive objects that form the centerpiece of the game’s action. There’s little chance for the player to lose interest in ItzaBitza. The game provides a totally unique experience every time it is played. Since the environment is created through each player’s personal drawings, the possibilities are as endless and fantastic as the player’s imagination. The game comes with five themed playsets – “Home Sweet Home,” “Let’s go Camping,” “Play in Space,” “A Farm Life,” and perfect for Halloween – “A VERY Scary Haunted House.” Players unlock playsets by winning at least five star challenges.

ItzaBitza is more than just a fun game. The game has been crafted specifically for early-readers. In ItzaBitza, players who are just learning to read start out having a blast watching the whimsical reactions happen between their drawings and their Sketchy. Then all of a sudden, they need to read to win a star. Or to know what to draw so they can help their Sketchy. Parents will be delighted by the game’s ability to enhance their child’s self-confidence. Unlike some games that leave younger players frustrated by their difficulty and lack of assistance, ItzaBitza provides features to guide children even when faced with unfamiliar concepts. If an early-reader encounters a new word, it can be read aloud to them with the simple act of hovering the mouse over the word.

Through a delightful twist on drawing games, ItzaBitza introduces a new way for kids to game and while they are playing, really important learning is happening. New methods to engage children, discovered during a multi-year research project conducted by Microsoft Corporation, are fused into the game’s design, yielding a unique experience that encourages fun and learning.

Now it's your turn to have a chance to win your very own ItzaBitza online download game!

Claim Jumper: Delicious pies for the holidays

The original Claim Jumpers flourished in the rich gold and silver mining territories of the Wild West more than a century ago. In 1977 we opened our first Claim Jumper Restaurant with a recipe for success we think is as foolproof as it is simple: great traditional American food served in generous portions, friendly service and a clean and comfortable environment. Today Claim Jumper is one of the fastest growing restaurant operations in the country, with locations in California, Colorado, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Illinois, Oregon and Wisconsin. Our delicious frozen appetizers, pot pies, dinners, family meals and deserts include both our traditional Western favorites and a variety of classic American recipes. Rest assured, all of our recipes still call for only the finest ingredients prepared with care.

As always, we look forward to hearing from you and tell us your story, where you purchased the products and what you love about the Claim Jumper Retail products. We would also appreciate your comments and always take them seriously so we may improve our products.

If you've never tried Claim Jumper before, you're missing out on a delicious opportunity! This fabulous company was kind enough to allow me to review some of their products.

With the holidays fast approaching, I'm sure pies are in the picture. While homemade pies taste amazing, let's admit it, they take an enormous amount of time to prepare. Who wants to be a slave to the kitchen when you can thaw and serve a yummy pie from Claim Jumper! No cooking required! Now you can spend more time with the family and less time in the kitchen.

My entire family was very impressed with their line of pies. We all really enjoyed their Chocolate Silk Pie. The chocolate cookie crust was great. Just thaw, serve and enjoy. It's that easy.

Their Banana Cream Pie was an instant favorite with all. Banana cream is my favorite and this was absolutely heavenly.

Their Dutch Apple was divine. I loved the delicious crumb topping that we added at just the right time during baking. This pie does require oven time, but no prep. Just pop it in, cook and enjoy. The hard work is already done for you.

I'm not a big fan of Lemon Meringue, but this was nice for a change. It was very tart, but that's what you can expect from a lemon meringue. It had a nice texture and flaky crust.

Like what you see? Claim Jumper offers many other varieties to choose from - pumpkin, coconut cream, blackberry, peach, fruit cobblers...the list goes on.

Looking for hearty meals? Claim Jumper has great dinners, pot pies, family meals and appetizers to choose from.

Claim Jumper Pies and Meals are available in the frozen food section. Head over in that direction the next time you're at the grocery store to make your next holiday a hit with Claim Jumper!

Just play it once and you’ll be a fan for life!

SmartLab Toys: 4 Clay Play Kits Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed with 128 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Anonymous #112!

My two kids had a fun time playing with the Clay Play Kit from SmartLab. This friendly company sent us the horse kit to review. It was a great hands on activity for them to do together. The kit came with everything they needed to get the job done. They molded the clay to the plastic animal figure and added all the other clay details they wanted. It was a fun activity that didn't require batteries.

Here is more about Clay Play's from their website:

What could be better than ArtLab's Clay Studio, you ask? The same divided by four! Young sculptors can create a realistic version of one animal with each single-themed sculpting kit. Choose from an elephant, a lion, a lizard, or a horse. Along the way, kids learn a variety of sculpting techniques and interesting facts about the featured animal. Then they can showcase their masterpiece in front of one of two dioramas—a natural setting or a display frame.

Just like the full-size ArtLab Clay Studio, the Clay Play Series maintains the theme that you can be an artist, a sculptor, and an animal lover!

Includes:

Plastic posable animal armature
One large clay block for body
Several smaller clay blocks for details
Two double-ended tools to cut, add details and texture
Body part templates
One double-sided diorama

SmartLab would like to offer one lucky reader all 4 Clay Play Kits - Lizard, Lion, Horse and Elephant.

Lowboz: The Chair Silencer

Does the screetch-scratch dragging noise drive you bananas? Then LOWBOZ, The Chair Silencer, is for you.

LOWBOZ protects your floors indoors or out.
LOWBOZ are easy to install; just push in & twist.
LOWBOZ are tough; they stay on for a long time.
LOWBOZ are proudly made in the USA.

It all started when one Long Island, New York based entrepreneur decided to develop and market a simple, interesting, quirky—and utterly practical—darn good Chair Silencer called LOWBOZ.

Inspired by elderly women at a nursing home, we noticed that several seniors had accessorized their walkers by placing balls on the leg bottoms to eliminate the disturbing noise and to increase smoothness as they walked. Using those walkers as inspiration, we created a completely new product utilizing a custom-made felt ball that fits virtually any chair—and comes complete with a removable sleeve that is available in a variety of colors.

Not just a curious idea, LOWBOZ (rhymes with "oboes") is a "quality of life" product. It eliminates the potentially maddening noise of chairs, providing a more tranquil environment for family, visitors, neighbors, tenants, passersby—anyone who wants to enjoy a dinner conversation, take an afternoon nap, play some music, or just read a book and relax.

LOWBOZ is poised to become part conversation piece, part quirky and an all-practical solution to an age-old pet peeve. And they make a great gift!

LOWBOZ - 4 Chair Pack

LOWBOZ, The Chair Silencer, is a revolutionary new home product that enhances your domestic environment by SILENCING that maddening screeching sound emitted in homes nationwide when chairs are dragged across a room or even when your kids jockey for a better position around the dinner table!

LOWBOZ is available in several designer colors to match your decor:

Boxy Design: Hassle Free Lunches

Introducing Boxy Design!

Are you tired of trying to find the right solution to your children's carrying needs for school or kinder? We were, so we decided to design our own lunch boxes, school backpacks, freezer gel packs and drink bottles.

Our aim was to create products that are easy to use, clean, pack, unpack, carry, are durable, look great and enable us to do our bit towards the environment. What more could anyone want?

It all started in 2007, when Helen, a mother and grandmother, had a vision to create a range of products that both did their bit for the environment, and encouraged healthy eating habits amongst children.

After trawling the internet, and undertaking extensive market research, Helen decided to develop a wrapper-free lunchbox, and a backpack with unique compartments to house the lunchbox, a freezer gel pack (to keep food fresh and cold) and drink bottle.

Whilst Helen has over 35 years experience in the corporate world, she had never had to deal with overseas manufacuturers, product prototypes and the like - talk about a steep learning curve!

Six months later, Boxy Design was borne, with the first shipment of product selling out in a couple of months!

Set of 4 products

This package includes:

Backpack
Lunchbox
Freezer Gel Pack
Drink Bottle

It comes in the following colors: Black, Bottle Green, Maroon, Navy Blue, Purple, Red and Royal Blue.
