12 Days of Christmas Day 10 Hasbro Review

On the 10th day of Christmas News Around the Blogs gave to you, a Hasbro toy review!

If you are still on the look out for some great toys to fill up those Christmas Stockings check out all Hasbro has to offer. Some of my favorites are:
The Playskool Wheel Pals. These cute little on the go critters make the perfect gift for children 12 months and up. They are soft, squeezable, colorful and ready to roll around with your little one. As soon as my daughter got her hands on this toy she right away started spinning those wheels. We sat on the floor and rolled the little bugs back and forth. These little bugs have had my daughter rolling them all over the house. Babies just love toys that roll on the floor. We have been racing them all day. They come in other little bugs too.


at approximately $3.99 each these will fit perfectly in your child's stocking. I love that little ladybug one!

Another great stocking stuffer is My Little Pony! What little girl doesn't love My Little Pony? I remember playing ponies with my sister when I was a child. I am so happy I get to pass that along to my little girl and play ponies with her. There are some new Ponies coming out that I want to tell you about. They have new brighter colors, fun hairstyles, and also come in sizes to reflect their "age." Younger Ponies are smaller then older bigger Ponies. My favorite thing when I was little were the names of the My Little Ponies. The new ones that are coming out have names like, Sweetie Belle who is a kind unicorn as well as the youngest ponie. She loves to bake and she's the first to help her friends.
Rainbow Dash who is up to date on all the latest fashions. She loves colorful clothing and sparkling accessories. All the ponies go to her for fashion advice!
There is Toola-Roola who LOVES arts and crafts. She has a cute bob haircut and is the first one to decorate a birthday cake with fun colors. She's my kind of pony!

For the boys there is Mr. Potato Head. Now he has come a long way. There are dozens of different Mr. Potato Heads. All with the same put together pull apart features, but this time there are also accessories that Mr. Potato Head needs. Take a look at these Potato Heads.

Santa Mr. Potato Head

Dr. Mr. Potato Head
Don't forget there is a Mrs. Potato Head too!
Here are accessories for Mrs. Potato Head, a girl needs accessories!

Check out all the great toys Hasbro, Playskool and My Little Pony have to offer at really great prices. I am sure your little ones will love it as much as mine did. The perfect gifts for holidays, birthdays or any special occasion!

12 Days of Christmas Day 7 Soda Stream!

On the 7th day of Christmas News Around the Blogs and her elves gave to you a Soda Stream Machine giveaway and review!

Soda Stream is a smarter way to enjoy soda! Turn tap water into soda in 30 seconds. Not only can you make your own soda and reuse your water bottles, you can customize your soda by using a variety of flavors. I received a Soda Stream Fountain Jet. They Fountains come in either white, black/silver, or red. It fits so nicely in the small corner of your kitchen. Not only can you make soda you can also make Sparkling water! You control the fizziess. You can have a light carbonated water or a super seltzer. You can even have a lightly flavored water. How great!
One of the flavors I tried was Diet Cranberry Raspberry! Yum! The flavor is right on! Each bottle of soda makes 12 liters or 33 cans of soda. There is no High-Fructose Corn Syrup in regular flavors and there is no aspartame in the diet flavors. When you buy 10 soda mix flavors you get one free! You can even make your own energy drinks!

No batteries, No electricity, No pumping. It's all Co2. If you shop online and order by Dec. 21st. You can get your Soda Stream by Christmas!

Walgreens 12/05 - last run for the week

Goodness! Someone stop me from going to Walgreens! I guess even though my subtotals are either $0 or close to it, the tax is just no fun. I have been paying with spare change from a jar my husbands fills up daily. He says he doesn't mind, yet he looks at me funny when I say I'm going to Walgreens.
I have been thinking...I donate A LOT of the items I get. I was wondering, if I made gift baskets for friends, what they would think? Would they think, "wow, she gave me all her free crap she doesn't want?" or would they think,"sweet, look at all these goodies I just got!" What would you think? I am betting most of my friends scored the same freebies as I did, and might not want anymore...I dunno, just thinking.
This is the pile of everything I bought. I am planning a party soon and have been buying soda!
These are all the fillers I used $0.29 each (will use for the party too)
More Dentek, you can never have too much floss right? They were $1.99 giving back a $2 RR = FREE
The Acai Vitamins were $4 giving back $4 RR = FREE but I used a $3/1 Coupon = PROFIT
Complete Contact Lens Solution $7.99 get back $8 in RR = FREE
Goody Hair Bands $2 get back $2 RR = FREE
Sodas were fillers $1.99 used $0.99/1 from Walgreens ad = $1.00 each
Beautiful Botanicals $5 get back $5 RR = FREE
Band-aids 2 for $3.00 or $1.50 each used $2/1 from Walgreens Children's Coloring book = FREE
I did quite a few transactions. I let about 6 people cut me at numerous times. I went close to closing time and the assistant manager said, "I wish we got a call when you people were going to show up" HUH??? Yes she really said those words to me. Then she said, "can you add more of these items together so you don't have to do a million transactions?" So, she was just a tad rude for a manager...anyway

I got $108.79 worth of merchandise for:
$2.85
with $14.00 in Register Rewards for next time!
