Review: Chasing Phalanx
Hubby and I have two different alarm clocks, and his started experiencing issues lately (not going off, going off randomly or at the wrong times, it was actually kind of hilarious). I bought this for him mostly because it was cheap and I liked the battery back-up idea. It’s a lot smaller than I anticipated, but that’s not a bad thing at all. It has all the buttons you could need and a nice crisp green display. It’s bright enough to read during day/night but not too bright that we have to cover it with a T-shirt like the old one (that one’s bright light kept me up at night!). Read Full Review…

Review: MissApril
I was very happy with the hair chalk pens. They apply easy, clean off easy and the colors show up very well on medium to light hair. I used the lighter colors on my darker hair kids and it worked as well, you could see the shimmer/sparkles in it. My son loves to get his hair colored and I get many compliments on his Mohawk. If getting their hair wet it will run but I haven’t had problems with staining. Read Full Review…

Review: Max
Love this! This is my second one. I will purchase one for each grandchild. They are very durable and quiet. They are low to the ground so there is no fear of falling. They have easy to add adaptable bars to add length as a child grows.
I bought my first one for a three year old granddaughter that is now eight. When she comes over it isn’t long before I see her zipping out of the room that it’s stored in. Gives the kids some fun activity for rain and snow days. They zip around the kitchen island and around the dining table. It gets the kids to engage with each other. They store easily upright and the kids can easily get them out. Read Full Review…

Review: Kindle Customer
I originally bought these because the tiny people I made decided a cleanliness revolt was in order and stopped bathing. In order to stop the night terrors I bough one expensive bath bomb. This was enough to make bath time a magical time of mermaids and foam.
However, it was an expensive fix and mayhem and debt ensued. Obviously I had to find an alternative before they go so dirty that people began to notice, or the neighbors called about the screaming. Read Full Review…

Review: Nathalie Marie
Let me start off with the cons of this product, when i first got it and tried attaching it to my phone it was super challenging because it wont screw on so i have to use one of the pieces to have it tight on. sometimes it will work or sometimes itll just slip away from the telescope making it
challenging to take pictures.

I did not read the full description or look at the pics before purchase. The pictures clearly show the dimensions and how they fit in a small child’s hands. The seller reached out to me and was very considerate and wanted my experience with their product to be the best. Sounds like good folks and if you want small squishes I would recommend. In fact, my wife just let me know my daughter and her cousin love these small squishes. That’s all that matters. Read Full Review…

Review: PinkTwigz
I really enjoyed constructing this Lego set. My only knock would be that the bags aren’t numbered. As such, one must spend a good deal of time sorting the 4000+ pieces prior to construction.
I assumed the “expert” level designation was referring to building skill not sorting. Also I was shorted about six pieces that were meant for the suspension cables. Read Full Review…

Review: Gordon berry
Very happy with this purchase, and more importantly, so is my 12 year old step son. (He received it as a Christmas present). I was a little surprised that it was the Coolbaby RS01, but it is essentially the same unit as the one pictured in the seller’s ad. Looks similar to a PSP, came loaded with over 9,500 games (some duplicates, but no biggie!). Read Full Review…

Review: Rory and Sophie
This big inflatable is nothing short of adorable. With the help of a small electric inflator he was blown up and in the pool, it’s been over a week and the valves are holding tight and no added air has been needed. The wind sends him sniffing all over the pool, and gusts even make his tail wag. He is wonderful and well designed. We named ours Jeff in honor of Jeff Koons. Please make some in blue, silver and gold. Thanks for a quality product that brings a big smile. Read Full Review…

These socks are absolutely awesome! I try to plan my wardrobe around the colors so I can wear them as many days a week as possible and with the colors they come in, that is pretty easy.
