Make Christmas Gifting easy with Hasbro



Then I had my own children and although I still don’t get the whole craziness of the holidays I do of course try to make it something special for my kids, I have to admit though the older they get the more I struggle with gift ideas and that is one of the things I love about Hasbro they always have a wide range of good quality toys and games and all of my kids will love which makes things a whole lot easier when it comes to compiling that Christmas list that every parent loves oh so much.

Back to Hasbro- every year they make things a bit simpler by taking the time to compile a list of their most anticipated gifts, toys and games, they ensure that there is something for everyone – from fun family activities to active play, imaginative play, creative play and so much more, if you are out of ideas or looking for something that your kiddos will love this list is for you!


HASBRO’S 2019 ‘BEST SELLER’ SELECTION FOR THE UP-COMING SEASON:


FurReal Cubby

Is the Curious Bear Interactive Plush Toy, is a dream companion for kids. He has over 100 different interactions and responds to touch, voice and motion. Cubby plays peek-a-boo, and let’s not forget snack time - feed him his bottle or treat and he’ll make eating sounds. When it comes to bedtime, you switch him into a nighttime mode and he slowly falls asleep and plays a variety of music and white noise to also help the child sleep.


Nerf- New and Exciting Blaster options

* My kids love both Nerf and Fortnite so I just know that these new additions are going to be a winner this year, we have amassed quite the collection of Nerf guns over the past few years and I have to be honest as far as gun toy options go I really don’t mind these at all and as a parent its actually fun to join in and even launch an ‘attack’ on your unsuspecting partner… who may be asleep… on the couch… *

Board Games


We all know the guy in top hat and tails right but have you met Ms Monopoly a self-made investment guru, who is here to celebrate women trailblazers in the first game where women make more than men. Instead of buying properties, players invest in groundbreaking inventions and innovations made possible by women throughout history. From inventions like WiFi to chocolate chip cookies to space station batteries, MS. MONOPOLY celebrates everything from scientific advancements to everyday accessories. In the MS. MONOPOLY game, women get a higher payout at the start of the game and more money when passing ‘Go’, but who you are is up to you!



*Monopoly is one of those games that I have kind of avoided given the length of time that a game takes up and my children’s very limited concentration span but I have to say that this idea rocks and it may be something that I will try out in the near future, The Nerf Fortnite may go down a better treat for my boys though, we will have to see.*
