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!

Keys to the Castle – Chaotic Doors

The game itself feels quick to set up and understand, and provides for a great length to keep everyone focused and busy!

Fart Machine – Silly Noise-y Toy

[Ad- gifted product] It’s toy season! Wicked Uncle has so many different toys aimed at different age ranges and interests. This Fart Machine is one that feels more on the silly side, sort of like a prank machine, as you can set off the fart noises to trick people into thinking someone farted. Or, that’s what Robin plans on doing when her friend Nic comes over next as she feels it’s really something he’d love.

Playing Stealth Ninja Cats in Shadow Ninjas

[Ad- gifted product] Every other week we find ourselves at our local Geek Retreat, playing a fun board game! This time, we took along Shadow Ninjas – which feels a fantastic fit for the Halloween season with our family. This is a fairly easy to play, four player board game where one of you plays as a guard cat while the rest of you play as shadow cats (or ninjas, in costumes, disguised as shadow cats) with the goal of getting to the koi ponds at the back of the board.
