Pointz – family friendly party game | Review

[Ad- gifted product] We are a big fan of both board games and family games in our household. Something that can be played together with everyone in our house, is always a big plus. We do play a lot of video games together, as both myself and my partner work in the games industry, but we also have ‘no-screen days’ to focus more on our toys and small projects in our household. Though Pointz isn’t technically a board game – or even a tabletop game as it’s best to play it on the floor – it really fit in with the tabletop and family nights we have. Pointz contains a bunch of cards inside a big spinner, and those cards and the container itself are all you need to play the game. I should note that it’s very easy to get these cards into the spinner, as the container opens up. The bottom of the container has a small nub, which is what the spinner is balanced on, so that, regardless of your strength, it can spin easily on flooring.

Uh Oh Milo! The Gobbling Goblins | Review

[Ad- gifted product] We’ve previously taken a look at Uh Oh Milo! The Impolite Imps and Uh Oh Milo! The Beastly Bogels and both have been very much enjoyed by the children. The third book in the series is now out, bringing Goblins into the mix! Uh Oh Milo! The Gobbling Goblins have no table manners! Each of the Uh Oh Milo! books take an aspect of bad manners and teach a lesson on how to correct them and why they are bad – perfect books for children who are starting school and should be learning their manners at that time.

My Fairy Garden Fairy Garden | Toy Review

As the weather improves, we decided to start planting our grass for the My Fairy Garden toy. This innovative toy by Interplay is the first in their line of toys that combines nature and play, allowing children to grow different plants and grass while also having toys and decorations for their miniature land. The process is relatively simple, and it’s a great way to introduce children to gardening and nature.

Uh Oh Milo! The Beastly Bogels | Review

[Ad- gifted product] After reading Uh Oh Milo! The Impolite Imps, we were excited to see Milo’s next adventure with Beastly Bogels. Uh Oh Milo! The Beastly Bogels has the same two characters as the previous book; Milo and his sister Mary, but this time Bogels are causing many issues for the family. Much like the previous Uh Oh Milo! book, these mythical creatures represent a negative behavior that the children need to learn to fix.

Printsfield – silly personalised socks | Review

[Ad- gifted product] Last October Jupiter wrote about the pair of Printsfield socks she’d been sent — they were custom printed with the face of our cat Pancake, and they were – all around – lovely. As a matter of fact, the only complaint was that the material that they were made from at the time lost image quality due to stretching.

Printsfield reached out to let us know that they’d changed the process, moving production to the US, their custom socks were now made from – and they kindly offered to send us another pair in order to show off the new material. No complaints from us, the socks had caused plenty of entertainment (and warm toes) around the house for the family.
