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
The Nerf Trilogy DS-15 toy
blaster has ejecting shells to heat up your Nerf dart-blasting action. Unleash
a triple-dart blast with this Nerf N-Strike Elite blaster that shoots 3 darts
at once from each shell.
Inspired by the blaster used in Fortnite, is the
only way to play Fortnite in real life.
Drop into indoor and outdoor Fortnite action with this motorised,
dart-firing Nerf Elite Fortnite blaster that features two flip-up sights to help you
align your shot and an acceleration button to power up the motor.
Pull back the bolt to prime the blaster and
unleash rounds at a velocity of 30 meters per second. The bolt placement can be
customised to accommodate right or left-handed battlers.
* 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… *

well her and Flutter Shy (Did you know they are voiced by the same person?). I
love how the show and the toys encourage friendship, love and understanding

both my younger sons (even my older son on occasion although he tries to hide
it) love the show and I have purchased a few ponies along the way.*

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.*
