Laid-Back Glasses – Reading while lying down!

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to toys that are for both adults and kids, Laid-Back Glasses feel like a fantastic invention. These glasses have mirrors in them, so that you can see what’s in your lap when you are laying down, without moving your head. Instead of seeing directly in front of you, you can just see down! Robin is the big reader in our household (though I can see how you could use these glasses to play on your phone!) so she was delighted to have a pair to play around with.

Laid-Back Glasses does restrict your view forward, so there isn’t a real way to wear them around. However, when you put them on laying down, you can easily see into your lap, allowing you to read books without the need to sit up. Robin said these worked very well, with her easily reading out her Dogman book as she laid on the couch. She absolutely loves silly yet functional things like this (and has a pair of glasses that let her see behind her) so was well up for wearing them.

They are a bit heavier than normal glasses would be, so that is something to get use to, due to the mirrors and extra plastic. Regardless of that, the Laid-Back Glasses don’t feel just like a kid’s toy. It feels like a functional gift that adults who like reading in bed would very much use! Reading before bed is something that Dann often does, and he found the glasses to be quite novel and work well too. It’s a neat idea, like something that feels obvious but I had never really thought about. Is it silly? Yes. Would I gift Laid-Black Glasses to the book lover in my life? Also yes.

Yoto KPop Demon Hunters – Music that’s easy to listen to

[Ad- gifted product] Robin is a big fan of listening to music, and always enjoys whatever is currently trending, as she is such a trendy girl. So, when K-Pop Demon Hunters came out on Netflix, she was all for re-watching and re-watching the film, over and over, until she knew all of the words to all of the songs! With them added into our playlist for our car adventures, we were thrilled to hear that Yoto has released the Yoto KPop Demon Hunters card, allowing her to add the audio to her own Yoto Mini, so that she can take it with her on her own adventures.

Twistii – a Snap Bracelet Wrist Torch

[Ad- gifted product] The Twistii is a snap bracelet that has a twisting wrist torch on the top. It’s sort of a toy, sort of a tool, depending on the age of the person who has it! I can see how this wrist torch can be used for those camping or hiking, as an easy to carry around torch, however it’s sold by Wicked Uncle in the toy section, and Robin found it to be a very fun little toy!

Fun, Unique Play with the ZipString

[Ad- gifted product] We are big fans of new toys in our household, especially Robin! The ZipString is the latest in new types of toys, and is one that for me, it’s a little hard to explain. At face value, this looks like a bit of string and a plastic handle, but it’s actually a fantastic, very fun toy that sort of looks like a magic trick or like something that is defining gravity. These little strings go inside the plastic handle, which vibrates and moves the string, making them float in the air!
