Good Face Bad Face requires a Poker Face

[Ad- gifted product] Our bi-weekly, family board game session, after school, at Geek Retreat featured Good Face Bad Face this time! Kai was already all settled into his Kids DnD session before Amelia, Dann, Robin and I started playing our game. Good Face Bad Face is pretty simple in concept – just containing a deck of cards. All you need to do is collect four Good Face cards to win the entire game. But, you don’t have much control on what you get!

Dynamic Coins – Easy and Impressive Magic Kit

[Ad- gifted product] Robin and Amelia have been very interested in magic tricks since seeing a magician at Blog On earlier this year. Since then, we have been trying out various magic kits including the Dynamic Coins from Marvin’s Magic. Marvin’s Magic has a fantastic app that you can use to teach you the tricks in the various kits you are looking to play with, and also gives you a free trick library full of magic you can do with everyday objects. As Robin doesn’t really like reading and following directions like that, having a video option is a really big help!

Aqua Bluetooth Speaker – Dancing Sound

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to Christmas Gifts, sometimes items that have a little bit of flash about them is the best way to go. This Aqua Bluetooth Speaker is one that we have been using in our house for a few years now, so when Wicked Uncle reached out about doing a review and giveaway, we were onboard. Dann spends some of his evenings at our dining room table, planning out DnD campaigns and listening to music. Looking for something to project his music beyond his cell phone, he went with this flashy Aqua Bluetooth Speaker due to it’s general look and appeal.

Crystal Art Buddies Festive Series 4 Decoration – Crafting an Ornament

[Ad- gifted product] We are fans of the Crystal Art kits, especially after doing a bunch of the D100 Crystal Art Sticker Album. This sort of mindfulness activity really encourages slowing down. It’s like paint by numbers, but instead of messy paint and trying to get it in exactly the right spot, you are putting down a bunch of fun looking gems. The new Crystal Art Buddies Festive Series 4 Decorations are both a decoration you can hang on your tree or a buddie that you can stand up, acting as a shelf decoration. Amelia took the time to do the Reindeer, which is new for 2024.

Force Drone – Fun to Bop Around

[Ad- gifted product] I feel like home drones have come so far from when I was a child! I remember watching my drone fly high away from me, crash, and then never fly again. The Force Drone feels completely different. It’s a fun, easy to use drone for indoor and outdoor play. Robin has played with a few different drones in her time as they always are good toys for a rainy day. This drone looks like a serious one; black with a green light and a lot of caging, which doesn’t look like it can hurt you.
