We received this magic jellykins toy as a gift in exchange for a review.
In all honesty this is a fun surprise toy that is rather affordable.
My kids each took turns in opening the package, pouring water, and shaking. Then playing with the toy.
It was very easy to use and follow steps.
It was a fun experience of "magic" and would make nice party favors & gift add ons.
I have a couple cons though. Firstly its a one time use thing. The "magic" or fun is gone once its done.
But never the less the "jar" can actually be used for other things.
The other thing is the dissolvable paper does get on the toy, making it sticky, and you do have to wash it off. The kids have to wait to play with it.
I mean overall if I needed a filler gift, or a reward gift, I would get this again because it is affordable

We were sent these to test out and review. We have been building up my son's tool collection. His dad works in construction and he looks up to that always wanting his own tools too.
My husband uses these snips all the time in his line of work and now my son has the same. These are clean, easy to use, they lock for safety, they cut clean and no snagging.
We used it in a slightly unexpected way—my son drew a line on metal and followed it to practice control (think scissors skills… but upgraded 😄). While it does require some hand strength and isn’t designed for young children, it handled the task well and gave him a realistic feel for the kind of tools his dad uses daily.
For professionals or DIYers working with eavestrough, soffit, fascia, or siding, this is a dependable addition to your toolkit.

My daughter was super excited when we received this Sweetheart bag kit from spinmaster. She wanted to get started right away and even worked away during her homeschool lesson videos. The whole project took a few hours and she was fully engaged.
The kit comes with faux leather pieces already cut out and a few gems to decorate with. You weave everything together so no needles are needed.
Unfortunately some leather pieces are very thin and it was hard to pull through the holes even for me. And some pieces ended up ripping. There were extra small pieces of leather but the big ones i was able to tie of and continue working with the redt of the leather string. My fingers did hurt at the end of the project.
That said my daughter really enjoyed this project, is very proud of the purse she made! She takes it along with her when we go places and puts her treasures inside the bag which is very spacious for a child.
I find this is also a great experience and lesson to learn how items are made from leather and the whole process of weaving instead of sewing.
We are already looking at other kits to try.

I was surprised at the ingredients. Much cleaner than many brands! As. a "crunchy" mom who is mindful of ingredients this is important. the iron supplement has no sugar, GMOs, titanium dioxide, benzoate, no artificial flavors or colors and more no's !
I love that these are small chewable, and taste great which is what kids love. They're easy on the stomach.
When kids love something they will remind you so you don't habe to worry about forgetting. This definitely makes it easier.

These "Ramen" noodles took me about 15 minutes to make. I cooked chicken & noodles together, added some carrots, seasoning and thats it. it was perfect for busy homeschool day when I had no idea what to make. And I felt good because they were getting so much nutrition from the noodles themselves! 11 g protein & 6 g of fiber. Way more than typical noodles which cause more digestive issues .
My kids are picky eaters. We had tried other protein packed noodles and they were not a hit with the kids. But they LOVED these!

This is a very elegant set of cutlery! I tend to stick with plain basic, so I wasn't sure what to expect here. Once I started decorating for New Years and placed them next to the plates, I really saw how elegant and nice the band makes the cutlery look. Definitely perfect for every formal(ish) event !
Overall I am happy with Paderno brand, the cutlery doesn't rust in the dishwasher like other brands have for me in the past.

We received the paw patrol HQ set to test out and give an honest review. My children ages 7, 5, and 2 really enjoy paw patrol. They were excited to open it!
What I've noticed from other purchases is spinmaster is working on using low waste packaging. It was really easy to open the package no scissors needed.
The quality is there and will last.
My kids really enjoyed all the cause-and-effect action with multiple moving parts, and loved running through the rescue mission again and again.
I am definitely considering building up their paw patrol sets as it is something they really enjoy even though they're different ages and at different developmental stages. And that's something I really appreciate as a mom. A toy that gets played over and over.

I was gifted this battery to use with Master Craft Cordless Detail sander for review. I used both products for our board and batten feature wall to smooth out uneven & rough surfaces before painting.
I found it was easy to attach and take off. Battery lasted for the whole duration of sanding the boards including the filled in holes. I was over all happy with the ease of using the detail sander, and the fact that it was cordless thanks to this battery! It made the project go much quicker and easier!

I received this sander for free to review.
We had been working on a board & batten feature wall in our master. This sander arrived just in time! I used it to smooth out rough / uneven surfaces before painting, and where the holes were filled from nails. It was perfect for the job!
I really loved the fact that it is cordless. With little children I am constantly having to stop projects. When there are cords, its easy to trip. With this cordless Mastercraft detail sander I was able to put the tool down (and away) without worrying about tripping or kids getting to it.
I had used a corded detail sander from another brand this summer while working on our stair case. While I loved the different attachments, it was not cordless and the cord was in the way all the time.
Mastercraft detail sander also is very ergonomic for the hands, is not very loud like the others I've used in the past, it is very pleasant to work with.
I definitely recommend giving this one a try!

Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie, Jumbo Cookie Bobby Plush Toy

The toy itself is a great size for kids—soft and squishy, easy to fit in the washer for cleaning, and works well as both a plush and a pillow. Overall, it’s a wonderful idea. My kids have similar-sized plush toys that they love, play with regularly, and even use as props during reading time or as pillows.
Unfortunately, this particular character wasn’t a good fit for our family. While the plush is well made, its appearance reminded my kids of a Yeti, which they find a bit scary. Because of that, it wasn’t something they felt comfortable playing with. It may be better suited for children who enjoy this character.
We’ve had other toys from Spin Master and have loved every one of them. Receiving a new toy to review always feels like a special surprise—almost like Christmas for the kids. They get very excited about unboxing and testing each toy, figuring out how it works, making connections to episodes (if a toy from a movie or show). We would absolutely be interested in reviewing more in the future.
