My 8 year old son is a huge fan of both Rubik’s cubes and Tetris, so this seemed like a perfect toy for him. His eyes lit up as soon as he opened it. The excitement faded quickly, though, when none of us could figure out how to play it. We looked inside the box for instructions and the only accompanying insert didn’t provide much guidance. We each had a different idea of how we thought the game was supposed to go. I looked the instructions up on the internet and we had a fun time after that, but it was still tricky. I do recommend this toy, but maybe for kids older than 8. -

When I received this hook and pick set, I wasn’t 100% sure what we would do with these in my household. It turns out - everything and anything! I’ve heard hook and picks sets referred to as “the mechanic’s Q-tip” and I couldn’t agree more. We are finding in my household that there are plenty of tasks that these are good for, and they don’t just have to be for automotive mechanic purposes. We have primarily been using them to clean out narrow spaces in surfaces. Got gunk in the grooves in anything? These work perfectly. This set comes with 8 different tools at different angles so there really is a tool for every job. I am a little concerned about the durability of the plastic handles but the lifetime warranty that these tools come with is a comfort. All in all, for tools we didn’t think we needed, these have come in very handy. -

The 4-year-old Gabby’s Dollhouse fan in my household was overjoyed to see that a jumbo Cookie Bobby plush had arrived at our house. The Gabby’s Dollhouse Movie was her first theatre experience and she thought the Cookie Bobby character was great. My daughter also always loves big stuffies for her bed, so this was absolutely perfect for her. As you can see, she was hugging it almost instantly. The fur is very soft and huggable, and the body is squishy and not too firm. I can see this becoming a bedtime favourite that she and her older brother will fight over. Spin Master has done it again with another popular toy. -

Dancing With Me Dora is a beautiful doll with 2 brightly coloured skirts and hair clips. My 3 year old daughter was so excited to change out the skirts and to try the clips in her own hair. Unfortunately, that is where the excitement stopped. The advertising states that you can “learn to dance with Dora,” but the doll speaks very quickly so it’s difficult for my daughter to catch what she’s saying, and the doll’s only real dance move is her skirt spinning around quickly, which also makes a loud whirring sound. Pair that with the fact that the songs are not the same as the original show (we had no idea that the updated version had different songs) and my daughter lost interest quickly. Perhaps an older child would be more interested in this, but it missed the mark for my daughter. -

After using a pricier “trendy” brand of spot patches, I was disappointed that they were not very effective. When I got the opportunity to try these out, I jumped at the chance to have something to compare to the other guys. A spot popped up on the tip of my nose and I followed the directions for the PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches and, as you can see in the photo, it was gone by morning. I also really liked that the patches came in 2 sizes. You don’t always need such a big patch! I will definitely buy these in the future instead of the other, more expensive ones. These ones work better, in my opinion, so why waste money elsewhere?
