My 6 year old daughter has been really getting into fingerboards lately so she was over the moon with this kit. She loved the open aspect of the boards and being able to mix and match the boards and wheels. The stickers are a great touch too.
My main complaint is that there weren't any instructions, but it was fairly simple to figure it out. The screws and nuts are incredibly tiny, so its definitely a 2 person job.
She says these tech deck boards are way grippier than her other boards, too, so that's a bonus.
She's stoked to show her cousins.

My daughter has been 'borrowing' tiny bits of kinetic sand from her friends for the past year, so, imagine her elation when she *finally* got her very own kinetic sand playset.
I have been a bit hesitant to get her kinetic sand, as I was really worried about the mess, but it is surprisingly tidy, and really kind of stays in one place. Very easy clean up, and it keeps her happy and occupied for some time. She loves all the toys it comes with, and that she can sculpt with all the colours.
We haven't tried mixing the colours together yet, as it seems like it wouldn't be nearly as easy as the box makes it out to be, but she's been quite happy playing with one colour at a time so far.

DC Comics, The Flash Hero Set, Iconic Mask with Visor and Ring

My 5 year old loves this. It's simple, but an effective toy. It's lightweight, and the adjustable straps made it easy for her to take on and off without any difficulty. She loves being able to lift the visor and move the lightening bolts around, and the fact that it lights up is a huge plus in her books. The ring is such an added bonus. This will definitely be a great addition to her tickle trunk. -
PAW Patrol Aqua Pups Whale Patroller Team Vehicle with Chase Action Figure

My year old daughter really likes the whale patroller, but gets really frustrated with it because she cannot get the hang of launching Chase. To be honest, it is also a bit difficult for my husband and I as well, and ultimately when we do get it, it's pretty anticlimactic.
Also, I'm a bit put off by the process of having to put on stickers myself. For a toy with a price tag of $40 and upwards, it makes it seem cheap. If you make one mistake, or aren't so great at putting the stickers in, it really devalues the toy.
My daughter also mentioned "why do all the toys only come with Chase?". I'm inclined to agree with her.
In the end, she is generally happy with it, and she did mention that she can play with her other Paw Patrol characters with it, too, so I imagine it will get used a fair bit, but I would not recommend it to others based on my experience.

My daughter absolutely loves Gabby's Dollhouse AND unicorns, so you can imagine how much she loves the addition of a 'kittycorn' character on the show, and just how excited she is to have the figure herself. She loves bouncing Kico around all over the house and couldn't put the dolls down all night.
She says "I love Kico and how she jumps! It's fun how she jumps, I LOVE it!"

Gabby's Dollhouse On The Go Dollhouse Playset
This is such a neat idea! I love that it is portable, and my daughter lives that it looks just like a dollhouse delivery from the show. She loves playing dress up so this is just perfect for her. She's just over the moon with this dollhouse.

This is a really cute purse, and my almost 5 year old daughter loves it. She loves purses and having her own bag, but it's difficult to get to work for her and for myself, even after reading through the directions multiple times. We can get it to make different sounds, but just not what we want it to do based on where we are touching the dog/purse. It is not user friendly, unfortunately, which results in a frustrated child. Overall, super cute, and she does like to carry it around, but the concept is a bit lost in execution. -

We received the Rubble pull back motorcycle. My daughter was SUPER excited when she opened it and we got to work trying to get it to go right away. 1st problem - it doesn't work on carpet, so off to the kitchen we went. 2nd problem, once this thing gets going *it really gets going*. It's fast, and has some weight to it. I would hate to get it in the ankle. 3rd, it's fairly limited in it's scope of play. After pulling it back and getting it to go a few times, the appeal was kind of lost. She hasn't actually gone back to play with it since we first opened it, which is kind of a bummer.
Not being able to use it in the playroom (which is carpeted), probably adds to it.
All in all, she had fun with it, and I'm sure she'll go back to it at some point, but I likely wouldn't recommend it, and probably wouldn't buy another one.

I've used Schmidt deodorants in the past, and wasn't a huge fan. I compared the new tube I received to the old one I had, and noticed a couple changes of ingredients that made me fairly hopeful. I am quite active, and I workout at least 4 times a week. I also have fairly bad BO while working out, unfortunately, so I do need something fairly strong.
I received the Lavender and Sage scented deodorant. The smell is lovely, and does seem to last quite a while. I wouldn't say that it was SUPER effective, however. I definitely discovered I would need to reapply before a workout to make sure I wasn't stinking up the gym.
I normally use nude, as it lasts quite awhile, and I only need to reapply every couple of days. The schmidts is good in a pinch, and the scent is much more pleasing, so I will continue to use it in the meantime, and would recommend to others.
