The Happy’s “Pets” Review and Giveaway

April 3, 2014 by Samantha 41 Comments

First were the Zhu Zhu Pets the cute cuddly noisy little hamsters, then came Kung Zhu a way for boys and more rough little ones to get into the little hamster craze. Fast forward to the next Cepia craze to hit the nation, The Happy’s.

The Happy’s are cute little pets which zip around, play, and sin around in circles all while getting everyone in the room to run around and giggle profusely. Happy’s come in two varieties, dogs and cats. Both of which are cure and dash around just the same.

The Happy’s work with both a play ball which they push around and jump on and a treat which they will follow around the room with. To really see The Happy’s in all their glory you should have more then one. Two or more interacting with one another and playing with your little one makes for a room of laughs and giggles even some. “No get down” lol. It is astounding to see Little Man playing with the Happy’s as if they are real pets. Running around chasing them, everything but the pooing and eating. The critters available are Mittens the cat, Sport the Goldendoodle, Bentley the Retriever, and Chance the Beagle.

Dolling Up

March 10, 2014 by Samantha Leave a Comment

Got dolls on the brain? If you have daughters, nieces, or sons who like playing baby, then chances are that you do. While the choices in dolls may seem as endless as that hour between dinner and bedtime, there are some fun new twists on the basic baby doll that have recently come out, and your little doll is sure to love.

Gund’s Peek a Boo Dolly is great for the youngest children,engaging them in a game and talking to them. She pulls her pink blanket up over her eyes and asks “where did you go?” and “peek a boo, I found you!” as she lowers it. She says 6 different phrases, and plays for roughly 40 seconds at a time when her button is pressed. She is soft and snuggly, and kids will love to hold her. With a sweet smile on her face and fleecy clothes, she looks happy, plush, and has no small parts to choke on or become loose. She needs 3 AAA batteries, which are included. Also available in Peek a Boo Bear, a brown bear with a cream colored blanket, these retail for $40. They are available in many gift stores as well as http://shop.gund.com

Adora’s PlayTime™ Babies Love Ewe is so sweet, and would make a great Easter or spring doll for your precious little one. Dressed in a little lamb covered one piece outfit and pink headband, she is adorable and kids will gravitate to her. She comes with her own bottle, her eyes open and close when you move her, and she can suck her own thumb. The best part about this baby, is that she is completely machine washable. You read that right! When she gets dirty, as your kid’s favorite toy is bound to, just toss her in the wash on gentle and hang her on the line to dry. Can’t get any easier then that. You and your child will appreciate the life like features of this toy- from her little fingernails to her turned up toes, she is as sweet as they come.
