Guidecraft Pirate Treasure Chest Toy Box- Review and Giveaway




My youngest son is a huge little Pirate fan, so when we had the opportunity to try some products from Guidecraft, The Pirate Collection was our first pick! My son loves his Guidecraft Rocking Pirate Ship (Be sure to enter our giveaway for this too!) and when he first saw the Pirate Treasure Chest Toy Box he was so excited!


"Treasure" he screamed "I love it!"

We laughed so hard, but weren't suprised by his reaction because my husband and I think the Guidecraft Treasure Chest Toy Box is pretty cool too!

At Guidecraft.com you can find all kinds of amazing quality children's furniture like the Pirate Treasure Chest Toy Box. Guidecraft has been making amazing products for over 40 years and their quality craftmanship and expertise show in every product.



The Guidecraft Pirate Treasure Chest came in a huge rectangular cardboard box.When we opened the box to assemble the toy box we could see that everything was packaged securely for safe shipping. Each piece is held in place with styrofoam to keep the pieces from being scratched. When your product arrives from Guidecraft you can expect it to arrive in excellent shape.






My husband pulled out each of the pieces of the treasure chest so that everything was laid out and ready to assemble. The lid of the treasure chest came put together, but the rest of the chest had to be assembled. He then opened the box of hardware and pulled out the direction sheet. Yes, this husband of mine does follow directions!  
























The Guidecraft Pirate Treasure Chest was really easy to assemble and the directions were simple to follow. It did take a bit longer than the Rocking Pirate Ship because there were more pieces and screws and bolts, but within about 30 minutes the Treasure Chest was ready to go!

The Guidecraft Pirate Treasure Chest is a wonderful toy box! I love all the details that Guidecraft included when designing this product. From the shape of the Treasure Chest to the gold paint edging it looks so realistic to what your child would imagine a Treasure Chest to look like. I love the painted scene on the front of the toy box. This image of a pirate ship on the water really matches well with the other Guidecraft Pirate Collection Products. On both of the sides of the pirate ship there are treasure maps and the pirate skull and cross bones. I just adore the whole look!


 
The Guidecraft Treasure Chest toy box is made of solid wood and is very durable as all of Guidecraft products are. There is  a piece of painted wood that can slip into the center to seperate the toy box into two halves. At a weight of 55 pounds this toy box is sturdy. The approximate size of the Pirate Treasure Chest is Dimensions: 20" Height x 20" Width x 32.5 Length, which means all of your little Matey's toys and treasures will fit right inside. The Treasure Chest features safety supports that protect your children's hands from being slammed and the design also prevents pinched fingers.





Having a treasure chest that is a toy box is a great idea and has even helped to encourage my little pirate to put his toys away. I tell him that he needs to keep his "Treasure" safe and he starts to pick up his toys and put them away! Its perfect!

My son absolutely loves his Guidecraft Pirate Treasure Chest as well as his Rocking Pirate Ship and I love to watch him imagine and play out fun pirate adventures with his Guidecraft products!






There is an entire Pirate Collection of children's furniture available from Guidecraft including the Pirate Treasure Chest, Rocking Pirate Ship, Table and Chairs SetRocking Chair, Set of 2 extra chairs and a table lamp. All of these pieces coordinate perfectly and make amazing decor for a pirate themed room.


If your child isn't a Pirate fan, Guidecraft offers many different designs of Childrens furniture and toys... Guidecraft has something for everyone!

Would your little Pirate love to have their own Guidecraft Pirate Treasure Chest Toy Box? You can purchase this product from Guidecraft.com for $185... or you could win one here at BizziMommi's Blog!

The generous people at Guidecraft are giving away one of these amazing Pirate Treasure Chest to one very lucky readers here at BizziMommi's Blog!

Recycle Kyle & Global Green Pals Review

I love to find great new toys for my family! Since we've started our new approach to living a more Eco-concious lifestyle I have really taken an interest in Green Toys. This is how I came across the Global Green Pals.



 Global Green pals are a group of adorable dolls made for children. The Global Green Pals can be used as a teaching tool to show children ways they can help the Earth! Not only do the dolls help to show your children ways to save the planet, they are also made from natural and recycled materials and they donate part of each sale to a great cause too.

From the Global Green Pals website...


"Award-winning Global Green Pals are made with Oeko-Tex 100 certified organic cotton. Clothing and accessories are made with organic, natural and tested fibers and low impact dyes. Dolls are stuffed with 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastic PET bottle stuffing. Each Doll comes with an imaginative character tag printed on recycled paper, using soy based ink that tells each character story and offers kid-friendly green tips on how to help the Earth. Don't forget, every time you purchase a Global Green Pal, you help the earth too, as a portion of every purchase supports earth-saving efforts around the globe via One Percent for the Planet!"



 I was lucky enough to receive one of their dolls, Recycle Kyle for review.

As soon as the package arrived from Global Green Pals my youngest son immediately took to Kyle! He had a new buddy that he just couldn't put down! I was impressed by the quality of Recycle Kyle and the amount of detail put into my son's new found friend! Recycle Kyle has wild yarn hair that your child can style. He is wearing a t-shirt that is tan in color and also carries a tan messenger bag. On both the bag and the t-shirt you will notice the universal sign for recycling. Kyle wears green short with "GGP" stitched onto the right pant leg. He also wears Green and White Shoes.

Recycle Kyle's facial features are sewn on and his eyes and smile are welcoming. You can see the care that went into making and designing this doll.

Tied to Recycle Kyles right Wrist is a large tag printed with Soy ink on Recycled Paper. It shows a picture of Recycle Kyle's animated image on the front and inside it has some background information on Kyle. The tag also has some great ideas for kids on things they can do to Save the Planet. I think that the Global Green Pals are the perfect tool to aid in teaching children about living Green and helping to take care of our planet and I also love that they are made with quality natural and recycled materials! Not only do Global Green Pals talk the talk of conservation and reusing, they walk the walk and make their products that way too!

I've fallen in love with Recycle Kyle as has my little man, and because we think Kyle is so great we've added Recycle Kyle and the Global Green Pals as one of....

BizziMommi's Top Toys and Children's Products of 2010

Check out GlobalGreenPals.com to find out more about Recycle Kyle and his other Global Green Pals including...

*Carbon Offset Chet
*Pani Rani
*Pink Corral Laurel
*Clean Air Kate

You can also find fun stories and updates about all the great things that these Green friends are doing for our planet. This is a great way to keep your child interested in doing things that are good for the Earth.

Blamtastic Lip Balm Review and Giveaway



If you are a regular reader of my blog, you have probably figured out how much I LOVE lip stuff. Lip balm, Lip gloss... I like it all and I am always interested in trying new products. Searching the web for new Lip products I came across Blamtastic.com.  I started reading the information about their products and had to try their amazing Blamtastic Lip Balm!

So what makes Blamtastic Lip Balm so special? Well, for starters, Blamtastic Lip Balm is a family affair! Blamtastic is the creation of two amazing young girls, the Sandler Sisters Lily and Melanie who came up with the idea for Blamtastic when they were 10 and 9 years old! With the help of their Mother and Blam Master Retha, Blamtastic Lip Balm is sweeping the nation and winning over each and every person who tries their amazing products!

Blamtastic Lip Balm is available in a variety of fun flavors for both girls and BOYS! Yep you read it right! I love that Blamtastic has a line of lip balm made especially for boys! My boys like lip balm, but I have never seen a balm made just for them!


The girls line is called Blamtastic Luscious Lip Balm. Flavors include...

Cherry Nilla- Who knew cherries and vanilla together would taste so divine. SPF 15

 
 
 
Strawberry Shake-The creamiest strawberriest shake you've ever had! SPF 15




Lemon-liscious-Pucker those lips cause this lemon is sweet-n-tart. SPF 15



O.M.G (Oh My Grape)-The grapiest grape in town!!! SPF 15





Wow Wow Watermelon-Wet your whistle with this juicy slice of watermelon heaven!




The Boys Blam line is called Blamtastic Potent Lip Balm for Guys. The Flavors include...



Brain Squeeze - Sour Cherry-Can your brain can handle it??? SPF 15

 


Radioactive - Lemon Lime-Caution - may cause an eerie glow or occasional sparking. Remove the cap carefully. SPF 15
 
 


Alien Invasion - Green Apple-We were abducted by aliens and forced to make this BLAM. It is out of this world! SPF 15

 


Grand Slam BLAM - Bubble Gum-It's a hit, it's a score, it's a home run! May improve athletic abilities. SPF 15
 
 
 
 
Ballistic Blam-It's a Ballistic Blast of Bodacious Blue Razz Blam. Say that 3 times fast! SPF 15

 
 
 
Frenetic Fizz-Orange Soda. Oh, Yeah! Feel the Fizz! SPF 15

 
 
 
At Blamtastic.com you can even buy these adorable lip balm sleeves that you can attach to your purse, notebook, bookbag, key chain or even your belt loop to keep your Blam handy at all times! For girls, the Blam Sleeves come in Pink and Orange and for the Guys the Blam holders come in Green and Black.
 
 
 
 
With the exception of the Guys Grand Slam Blam, I have had the opportunity to try every flavor of Blamtastic Lip Balm which has been such a treat to this lip stuff junkie! It was like Christmas when my package arrived from Blamtastic! The first thing I noticed about the Blam when I pulled them out of the box were the fun labels on each of the lip balms. The girls were made to look pretty and sweet while the boys looked fun and like something my boys would like. The names of each of the different lip balms were fun too, especially for the Guys Blam! 
 
I started testing each of the amazing flavors of Blamtastic Lip Balm and was impressed by each and every one! All of the lip balms go on so smooth and leave your lips feeling slick and moisturized without feeling waxy or greasy. The scent of each flavor is so good, but not only does Blamtastic Lip Balm smell great but it litterally TASTES great too! I couldn't help but lick my lips. The flavor of each Lip Balm is amazing! My favorite would have to be the Alien Invasion Green Apple! It reminds me of a Charms Blow Pop in green apple flavor! Yum! The flavor of these lip balms beat any on the market!
 
MOVE OVER BONNIE BELL, THERE'S A NEW BALM IN TOWN!
 
 Blamtastic is not tested on animals... in fact Lily and Melanie love animals, and I bet they would think that their adorable guinea pigs would look mighty silly wearing lip balm! Each of the lip balms have an sunscreen with a SPF 15 that keeps your lips safe in the sun. Blamtastic is made in the USA and contain quality ingredients. Some of the great ingredients used in Blamtastic Lip Balm include...
 
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Beeswax, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Octinoxate (7.5%), Oxybenzone (3%), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Sweetener, Tocopherol (Vitamin E) with a little color for fun.
 
You can tell that the Sandler's put their heart and soul into each and every product they sell. The quality of these amazing lip balms is evident from the first application to your lips! For all the reasons I love Blamtastic Lip Balm, I have named Blamtastic as one of...
 
BizziMommi's Top Toys and Children's Products of 2010
 
 I would recommend Blamtastic Lip Balm to anyone who loves a great lip balm and especially to mother's of boys who are looking for a lip balm made for their sons! My boys ages 8 and 9 love their Guys Blam and even the girls flavors too! From ages 5 to 95, Blamtastic is a fantastic lip balm for everyone!
 
Interested in purchasing your own? Blamtastic Lip Balms and the Lip Balm Sleeves are available for sale on their site for $2.99 each, which is an amazing price for these fabulous lip balms. I suggest you check them out! Visit http://www.blamtastic.com/ for more info!

EMOTES Review and Giveaway

Being a Mom of 3 boys I am always looking for the hottest toys and games. One day while searching the internet I came across Emotes.com... I didn't know exactly what Emotes were but after seeing these adorable characters I had to find out more! There was a video that was made to tell about the Emotes, so I watched it and this is what it said...

"Emotes are a small race of beings with human like feelings who live in the internet. They are constantly learning about the world and themselves. Living inside the internet there is no knowledge they can't posess. Each Emote posesses a unique power that is distinct to his or her own  personality. Emotes use their powers in their ongoing fight aganist Dr. Viro an evil genius who wants to take over the internet. Join the Emotes as they crack the code and embark on exciting new adventures!"

There are 24 Emotes and each Emote is identified with a different emotion. The 12 main Emotes include...

Abash- The Embarassed
Amore- The Lovestruck
Boom- The Angry
Bubba- The Happy
Cant- The Frustrated
Drain- The Exhausted
Ick- The Disgusted
Imp- The Michevious
Joi- The Excited
Jumpi- The Shocked
Mixy- The Confused
Super- The Confident
Yawni- The Bored

On the Emotes website you can watch little animated videos of each of these Emotes, learning more about their character! Besides being adorable and fun, there is a lot of meaning behind the Emotes and they can be used as a very helpful tool in communicating with your children about their feelings. Perfect for both boys and girls of all ages, see how Emotes can help strengthen the bonds between yourself and your children while finding new ways to talk to your children.

From Emotes.com...

The Emotes were created to help children identify and deal with their emotions. The Emotes are a great tool to help you talk to your child about their feelings! Children face many emotional challenges as they grow up in an increasingly complex world. Issues such as peer pressure, bullying and prejudice can leave a child feeling alone and insecure. Levels of depression and anxiety increase when a child is unable to understand and express his or her emotions. The Emotes are here to help! In the wonderful world of Emotia, emotions aren’t denied--they are celebrated!

Within the Emotes Books, children will encounter many different characters; from Boom “The Angry” to Jumpi “The Scared”. They will read about Dr. Viro, a sinister and scheming character who attempts to rob the Emotes of their emotional superpowers. The Emotes work together and support each other, allowing each Emote to feel whatever they may feel. This mutual respect and togetherness allows the Emotes to defeat Dr.Viro’s plans to plunge Emotia into darkness—the darkness of emotional repression. The Emotes are role models. They teach children that bringing emotions into the light of awareness is far healthier than trying to hide them in the dark!

Since I thought the Emotes were pretty cool I decided to introduce my boys to them and see what they thought. I showed them Emotes.com where there were games to play and even a way to design your own Emote character. There are comics to read and videos to watch too! Emotes.com is a fully interactive website and my kids really love playing with all the different features available on the site! It was exciting to see my kids talking to each other about different emotions and feelings with each other as well as myself and my husband. I could see new lines of communication emerging before my eyes!
 
 
After I saw how much my boys liked the website, I showed them the Emotes toys and books I had received and they were THRILLED! They were telling me which Emotes they most related to and I thought it was really cool that they were sharing their feelings!
 
 
On Emotes.com you can shop for your favorite Emotes characters! There are 10 inch plush, books, 2.5 inch PVC figures, 4 inch keychains, t-shirts, bags and a really cool display case that comes with 12 of the 2.5 PVC figures.
 
The Display Case is pretty cool and my boys favorite Emotes product. It features slots for each of the 12 characters to sit in, and then an extra slot in the middle for you to put the Emote that associates with the way your are feeling for the day. It is really neat! My boys pull out their figures and play with them together and like to put a different Emote in the center slot each and every day.
 
 
There are so many things I love about the Emotes including the toys and the fun games and activities available on the website. I really love that these amazing characters have opened up a new way of talking about feelings with my boys. At their ages, it is important to build those lines of communication now because as they mature and become teens (scary!) I want them to know that Mom and Dad are here and ready to listen to anything they want to talk to us about. For all of these fabulous reasons, I've named the Emotes as a....

Do you think that the Emotes could help you and your children communicate you're feelings? Check out the Emotes website for more information on these great characters at...

The Strider PreBike Review and Giveaway

My boys all love being outdoors! My older boys really love riding their bikes, but my youngest was left out. At 2 1/2 years old, our options were limited. He was too big for the little toddler ride on toys, but too young for a regular bike. It made me sad because he was left out of all the fun his brothers were having! That was until we got a Strider PreBike! Now he can ride and feel like a big boy and have fun with his big brothers!

So what is a Strider PreBike? Taken from their website...

"Designed for children, ages 1 - 5, the Strider™ PREbike is lightweight, easy to control and features an adjustable seat and handlebars to accommodate a growing child. Most importantly, the Strider teaches your child balance, coordination and develops glittering confidence.


And the Strider is steady, stable and safe. At the first feeling of instability, your child will instinctively place his feet securely on the ground. So there are no "tricycle tip-overs" or "training-wheel wobbles" that stir-up a fear, hesitancy, or dislike of bike riding."

The Strider PreBike is amazing! The PreBike is what you might call a Balance Bike or Running Bike. It is a bike without pedals or training wheels that allows your child to become accustom to sitting on bicycle seat and balance while they have the ability to have both of their feet on the pavement and push themselves along. The It is really easy to use, and my 2 1/2 year old caught on immediately!

The Strider PreBike is lightweight at only about 7 pounds. "Pre-Bike" is the perfect name for this amazing little bike that gives your child the confidence in their abilities to steer and balance. Using the Strider PreBike, your child learns the basics and then when they are introduced to a pedal bike, they can quickly learn to ride!

When my son's Strider PreBike arrived, he saw the box and was so excited by the pictures on the box. He knew the bicycle inside was for him! My husband had the PreBike completely assembled in less than 20 minutes and we were ready to ride! Ever since its been put together he's been inseperatable from the Prebike. Weather permitting we are outside everyday so he can ride!

The Strider PreBike is available in Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red and Pink. The List price for the PreBike is $110 but are available on the website for $99! The PreBike is worth the investment and made extemely well. The quality of this bicycle shows in every well made part.Satisfaction is guaranteed and Strider evens offer a 60 day Money Back Guarantee because they want you to be happy with your purchase!

My son ADORES his Strider PreBike! He has so much fun riding with his brothers and I love the fact that this amazing bike is allowing him to learn skills that he will use when biking for the rest of his life!

I have been so impressed by the quality of the Strider PreBike as well as all of the great skills it teaches early bike riders that I've named the Strider PreBike as one of...

BizziMommi's Top Toys and Children's Products of 2010

If your little one is interested in biking, I would definitely recommend checking out StriderSports.com where you can find out more about the Strider PreBike and even purchase one for your family!


Wouldn't you love to have a Strider PreBike for your little one to learn to ride?


Here's your chance!

The SAD Truth...

I had some really exciting things planned for BizziMommi's Blog this week, but as you can see... Things just didn't work out. WHY?

The Hard Drive on my computer went BAD!!!!

Earth Day Recap- Announcing our Winners!

Yesterday was Earth Day...did you do something wonderful to help the planet? Every little thing we do adds up to make a big difference in this world.

This year I have pledged to quit using plastic grocery bags and instead use reusable shopping bags every time I go to the store. Honestly, this has been something I had wanted to do for a while and it is been a really easy transition! I know it might seem like a small contribution to our planet, but with a family of five we are saving a lot of plastic from making it's way to the landfill. If more families like mine decided to go the reusable route, just think of all the great things that could happen as a result! Less omissions from making the bags, less plastics in the landfill, petroleum and other natural resources would be saved... it really adds up!

Speaking of reusables... Earth Day meant the end of two Great Giveaways here at BizziMommi's Blog... Do you want to know who are lucky winners are? Using Random.org these numbered comments were chosen as the winners of the following giveaways....
