Perplexus Original Review + Giveaway!

My son received the Perplexus Original for Christmas. It's definitely a challenging puzzle that's for sure! He's on the Autism Spectrum with Asperger's Syndrome; which he's very brilliant in most aspects such as puzzles, technology, etc. He over thinks a lot of things so I figured the Perplexus should challenge him enough that it would take him a while to master it on it's 3 different levels of complexity.

So far, so good! He loves trying this puzzle out for minutes at a time, multiple times a day. It has a small silver ball inside that you must follow the numbers through a path, twisting and turning the Perplexus ball to keep the small silver ball on it's path. I have played with it a number of times now myself and yet to have mastered it either. Definitely lots of excitement trying to see who can get the furthest along without the silver ball dropping out of it's path!

This puzzle ball was definitely a hit in our household! Like Perplexus on Facebook and follow them on Twitter for more information. Then, take a look at this video to see it in action:

Giveaway: McKinley Rose Boutique Hair Clip

I recently had the opportunity to review a few custom knitted hats for the kidlets that were made by McKinley Rose Boutique. The quality of these hats were FABULOUS. You can read the review here on the blog (http://simplyrandomreviews.com/2011/11/mckinley-rose-boutique-custom-knitted.html).

Shop owner, Lisa Borders, has been gracious enough to offer one of my readers this blue + brown Hairbow Clip! This is for the hairbow clip (headband not included) that can be used alone or attached to a headband of your choosing for multiple looks!

PlasmaCar Review + Giveaway!

It's like magic, but you don't need to be a magician to get it to work.

The PlasmaCar is a mechanical marvel that makes use of that most inexhaustible of energy sources, kid-power, by harnessing the natural forces of inertia, centrifugal force, gravity, and friction. It's so easy to operate; all it needs is a driver and a smooth, flat surface.

We were beyond thrilled when we received the PlasmaCar for review. Using two tools that just about every household would have on hand, we were able to put this together within 15 minutes (anyone great with tools could do in half the time!). This cute ride on toy, is very inexpensive for the quality of the materials used to make this product. And no batteries needed, so the PlasmaCar will continue to entertain while saving on your wallet in the long run as well!

The PlasmaCar is very durable + can hold 220lbs on smooth, flat surfaces and 120lbs on rough, flat surfaces. This means the fun doesn't end with the kids; A lot of parents can have a blast too! My son is still unable to ride a bike without training wheels at 6 years old, so giving him a break from the bike and boosting his self-esteem with an easy to use for everyone toy may give him the courage in the near future. The PlasmaCar can be used by simply resting your feet on the board and steering with the wheel, back + forth. The steering motion allows the car to glide along on it's own!

Kaitlyn's Custom Travel Size Diaper Wipe Case

I have seen quite a lot of these diaper wipe cases popping up in small/home business shops across the web. I recently noticed them for the first time a few months back. I got the opportunity to review one for Kaitlyn's Diaper Wipe Cases.


(Case my little man received.)

These are custom made + personalized for each order. I chose one for my son's bag so he can take along with him for his overnight bag or day trips for quick clean up. Even though he's 6, wipes are a life saver for after meals/snacks or outdoor play.

My son is fan of all things dinosaurs + robots. Just so happened, a robot fabric was currently in stock at the time of order. We received this case with a boyish look; bright colored robots + blue ribbon. The little man loves the look of it of course. It's super cute in my opinion as well. We have carried this around through the house + for outings. It's held up very well; no peeling/loosening of the fabric or ribbon to date.

Now here's your chance to win a custom diaper wipe case for yourself. Winner will be contacted + can choose from fabrics that are currently in stock to have your case created just for you.

Boogie Wipes Review + Giveaway

Until this review, I had actually never even heard of Boogie Wipes. So what is it? My version: A very soft version of a diaper wipe with great smells to clean snot-nosed-kidlets ;-)

From BoogieWipes.com:
Boogie Wipes are made with natural saline to dissolve boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold, allergies or otherwise booger-filled kid moments. Extra soft, alcohol, phthalate and paraben free, Boogie Wipes are available in Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Minty Menthol and Simply Unscented. Recommended by pediatricians as a gentle, effective alternative to a dry tissue.

These wipes really do smell great, especially the grape! My son, who has Sensory Integration Disorder, dislikes most of these because of the smell but the Simply Unscented works well for him. My daughter, loves the packaging and I no longer have to chase her to wipe her nose. She's coming to me to get the Boogie Wipes to do it herself! We've yet to hit a cold/sinus season since receiving these but I can see purchasing them this winter. That's when we can truely put them to the test to see if they keep the noses less red + raw!

Want a chance to win some free Boogie Wipes? Here's your chance!
It's simple + FREE to enter! Follow the Rafflecopter form, step-by-step, entering mandatory requests first to unlock extra ways to enter. Winner will receive 2 packs of 30-count Boogie Wipes (fresh, grape, menthol, or unscented– combination varies). Contest runs from 12:01am October 14th through 12:01 October 21st; all times are EST.
