Sosig board game – Build a long sausage

[Ad – Gifted Products] Another Monday, another time to go to our local Geek Retreat and try out a game! This time, we went with Sosig, which is a bite-sized card game which could fit in your pocket, really. This tiny card game is all about building sausages that customers order, so that you can get points! The instructions are extremely straight forward (maybe too straight forward!) which makes the game easy to play.

Stylestix – Customised Fabric

[Ad – Gifted Products] Now, when I first saw Stylestix, which says it’s ‘not a normal sticker’ I didn’t really understand. We’ve had a bunch of different iron-on patches in the past, and this sounded like the same concept, but at the same time, it says ‘no heat or water needed’ which didn’t seem to make sense to me, as an item.

America the Beautiful Coloring Book – Celebrating America

[Ad – Gifted Products] When Dann and I came back from America, Robin got the America the Beautiful coloring book through the mail. She’s a big fan of these sort of coloring books that promote mindfulness and just give you something fantastic to color – she’s actually been working on shading as well. I thought at first this coloring book was for the 4th of July, and had just been mailed out early, but after visiting America I think it might be for America’s 250th anniversary. I didn’t realize this was a thing that was happening, but it does make more sense.

Would You Rather – Family Edition – Cute Conversation Starter

[Ad – Gifted Product] I feel kids always are asking questions! Would You Rather feels like a game everyone does, especially when in long car rides or at the dinner table when conversation falls. We got Would You Rather – Family Edition from Wicked Uncle, which has over 200 different, family friendly, would you rather questions (included a bunch of cards where you and your family can write your own).
