KRE-O Cityville Invasion Marina Madness Building Set

Disclosure: We received a product. All opinions stated however, are genuine and my own.

Available at most major retailers or at the Hasbro Toy Shop.

My youngest child, happily, is one of those kids who uses his imagination (liberally).  He also loves to build. I was looking for the perfect gift for him, one that he hasn't asked for (I love to give presents I know people will love but they are not expecting!), and the KRE-O Cityville Invasion Marina Madness Building Set fits the bill.  I know he'll love the opportunity for the imaginative playtime that this toy presents, and he will flip for the moving pieces, yes building pieces that move (how cool is that???)!

Sonic Motion Brick with Sound
Motion Bricks allow Kreons to move!

I admit that I haven't heard of Zynga's mobile gaming app: KRE-O Cityville Invasion (I just liked the kit in and of itself), but it seems to be very popular, and that could be a definite added bonus if you're shopping for someone who uses/is a fan of the app.  There is also a special code inside that unlocks game content. With the (4) popular characters Ray Manta, Sgt. Splash, Dockhand Rusty, and Lt. Mari Time (lol, loving the names!), 206 building pieces,  a mystery figure, Sharktooth (the aquatic predator), a Sonic Motion brick, and (3) motion bricks, the kit has more than enough to keep the imagination busy.

When you are shopping for toys (and most of us are this time of year), it is important to look for quality. Everyone knows the HASBRO name, and there are good reasons for it: Their toys are top notch quality and kids love them!  Add in affordability, and that's a win-win-win in my book.

The KRE-O Cityville Invasion Marina Madness Building Set is fun, costs just under $20, and is definitely a most excellent gift idea for the upcoming holidays. It can be purchased at  most major retailers, and/or at the Hasbro Toy Shop online. 

You can learn more about KRE-O and Hasbro Toys by visiting their websites. 

"Blessings," a Personalized Book from FlattenMe!

Disclosure: I received a product to facilitate the review. All opinions stated however, are genuine and my own.

Personalized books are the new big trend, I think...either that or I'm just behind times, but either way, I like it! There are quite a few places you can order personalized books now, but the one thing that does make a big difference when ordering one online is quality. FlattenMe is the latest company I have found that makes personalized books, and their quality is second to none both inside and out.

Source

We reviewed their 'Blessings' book, and the story, written by New York Times best selling author, Robyn Spizman is very calm and soothing (perfect for bedtime reading), and the quality of the drawings that accompanies the words is stunning.

You can see for yourself that the colors and illustrations are very grandeur, I mean they are really spectacular, and the pictures fill up the large pages.

Preview the whole book here.

Best of all, the child's name is included in the story on every single page. Imagine your child's delight seeing these beautiful pictures, and hearing their name included with them, every time they (or you) turn a page.

If you are looking for a most excellent gift idea to give to someone special, definitely give this book a look.  If you order now you can still get it in time for holiday gift giving.  The books are recommended for children ages 0-6, and they take about a week and a half to get to your doorstep after you have placed your order.

FlattenMe sells more than just books, and I highly recommend taking a look at their website. I especially recommend taking a look if you've still got Christmas shopping to do for someone in the younger crowd!

You can find out more about FlattenMe and their products by visiting their website here.  You can also follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Pinterest.

Winner Announcement

Congrats to Denise, the winner whose name was randomly drawn by Rafflecopter as the winner of the Duck Dynasty talking/singing duck giveaway.

iCaughtSanta! With FREE PHOTO offer (expires Dec 10)!

Disclosure: I was provided the same opportunity as offered to use a free code for a picture by the stated 12/10 deadline.  All opinions stated are genuine and my own.

I am reviving a post from last year because I like iCaughtSanta so much, and I want you to know about them too, if you do not. I hope you'll keep reading too because in order to celebrate their 5th anniversary (woohoo!), iCaughtSanta is giving away a free photo to Mail4Rosey readers!

Every year my husband and I create an iCaughtSanta photo for our youngest.  They come out so nicely that we end up putting the pictures in his baby book so he can enjoy them years from now. The site is easy to use and has a ton of options for creating the perfect picture.  We have created a photo where Santa was in the room by the Christmas tree when little man was asleep on the couch next to it.  And we've created a photo that had hubby (a look of shocked surprise on his face) standing behind Santa on Christmas Eve., while Santa put 'THE' Santa gift out to be found in the morning. And a couple of years back we made the one below, which I still love. iCaughtSanta photos really are fun, they're easy to do, and if you're looking for a great special touch to add to the holiday, this could easily be just the thing!

We do one every year.  Here is one we did a few years ago, and I still love it.
