[Ad – Gifted Product] When it comes to mindful crafting, we have done a lot of Crystal Art kits in our time! It feels like, with so many rainy days, having some easy, indoor activities is the way to go! Robin had picked out the Crystal Art Keyring Kit Perfect Pets for one of these rainy days which contains three different, pet-themed keychains for her to fill full of gems. Each of the keychains are double-sided, so there are a lot of gems to be placing on!

[Ad – Gifted Product] When it comes to card games, we play a select few of them at our board game night at Geek Retreat. We often have board games or dice games that have card-related aspects to them, but we don’t find many card games themselves. It feels like the market is full of the same old, so when someone said Flip 7 was “better than Uno” I was really curious to see what my children thought of it. I must say, however, that Flip 7 is hyped up A LOT. And, that sort of hype, had us all having such a high expectation.

[Ad – Gifted Product] Valentine’s Day isn’t only an adult holiday, and as such, having something fun for children to get involved with makes for a fantastic day. Robin was pumped to try out the Chocolate Lolly Maker, which allows you to take some chocolate and make it into something new! If you, like us, have tons of chocolate left over from Christmas, giving it a new life around Valentine’s Day is actually a great way to get your leftover candy consumed.

[Ad – Gifted Product] When it comes to card games, I really do love card games that are in a tin! The Dog Man: The Hot Dog Card Game is one such game – the tin making it very easy to bring out and about with you. I find card games like this to be perfect for little moments between activities, as the game itself isn’t that long, but it’s an entertaining and fun one where everyone can play together. If you aren’t familiar with Dog Man, the comic book character, this game is still fine to play.

[Ad – Gifted Product] Every other Monday, we play a board game at our local Geek Retreat and have a few shapes, as a way to kick off the week. This time, we played Whirly Derby with Robin, Dann, Amelia, myself, and Amelia’s friend who joined us for the afternoon. Whirly Derby is a very unique looking board game, being primarily made of metal and with rolling marbles made of glass throughout it. Setting up the board game is easy, as you sort of fold out a little cardboard base, plug the metal topper on it, and then add in the triangle ending bit, that the marbles come out of.
