Stocking Stuffer Idea: Barbie A Perfect Christmas DVD *Giveaway*

Posted by ·
Why We Love It

Our five year old is just getting into Barbie having received one for her birthday this year. As a child, Barbie was my favorite toy so there’s a high nostalgia factor as her first Barbie and Ken come to life our kitchen as they have “tea parties” at their very own table. As a recent pre-bedtime treat we watched the all-new Barbie A Perfect Christmas DVD starring Barbie  and her three sisters- Skipper, Stacy and Chelsea- embarke on a holiday adventure. Without giving too much away, their planned vacation is detored by a snowstorm and through series of fun, unexpected events the girls learn the true meaning of Christmas (religion aside). They realize the importance of family and being together for the holidays, and we used it as an opportunity to reinforce those same lessons. “We’lll be with everyone for Christmas–Nonnie, Grampa Mont, Aunt Jena, Uncle Billy”– and so on. Using the heartwarming DVD as a springboard for talking about family was an added bonus.

Barbie A Perfect Christmas is available at all major retailers or through our Barbie Amazon link.

Disney Ultimate Dream Castle: Top Toy Pick *Princess Giveaway*

Posted by ·

Why We Love It

Before the Ultimate Dream Castle by Mattel my daughter essentially used her dollhouse as a Disney Princess Castle even though the full size princesses don’t quite fit. Now the girls have a home. From Tiana’s kitchen to Belle’s dining room, each area of the castle is themed for a specific princess. Over 50 pieces and some cool special effects such as a “magical” Lumiere who moves about the table to a magic carpet that gives Jasmine a lift offer added imaginative play. By far my daughter’s favorite room is Ariel’s bath area with bubbling sounds. Appropriately named the “Ultimate Dream Castle,” it takes a fair share of willpower not to attempt to crawl into one of the rooms and sit with Belle and the Beast at the dinner table. After all, girls are princesses at heart. Even as I chirp ”see how Tiana doesn’t rely on anyone to get what she wants” there’s a bit of me that likes being pampered. In the meantime, the Ultimate Dream Castle lets girls’ imaginations run wild.

All The Cool Kids Know…Rebecca Bonbon

Posted by · Leave a Comment

Cool fact…the creator of Hello Kitty, Yuko Shimizu, who I had the pleasure of meeting at a Time to Play event, has gone back to the drawing board. Her new character and product line based on an adorable French bulldog named Rebecca Bonbon is sure to explode into the pre-teen and young teen market. Or in my case, the pre-school sect whose mom remember Hello Kitty as a kid. It actually kind of neat…my daughter will grow up with her own iconic character sure to someday join the Hello Kitty ranks. This bulldog from Paris who now lives in a chic Manhattan apartment is hip and happening. Featured on clothing and accessories for girly girls, Rebecca Bonbon is the next cool thing. So when you start to see her everywhere remember you heard it here first.

Cabbage Patch Kid Fashionistas: A Classic Re-Visited *Giveaway*

Posted by · 205 Comments

Meet the newest addition to the Cabbage Patch Kids family…the Fashionistas! They remind me of Audrey from Mom Generations…super hip and always in style. As an 80′s child, I can’t begin to explain my excitement when our doll arrived with a birth certificate bearing my name! In 4th grade a girl named Renee brought a Cabbage Patch doll to school and everyone, including me, wanted one more than anything else in the whole world. The only problem was the difficulty parents of Cabbage Patch crazed kids like myself had in actually obtaining them.

Because my mother is the absolute best in the world, she stood outside in line at Toys R Us to bring home Catherine, my very own brown-haired Cabbage Patch doll. Much to my delight, I was able to share a hip version with my own daughter. Updated and super cool like their 80′s proteges, the Cabbage Patch Kids Fashionistas  got game. From artsy and dressy to girly and preppy, these cutie pies sport khakis, Mohawks and berets.  And one lucky Cool Baby Kid reader will receive a personalized birth certificate and Cabbage Patch Fashionista to “match” their parent!

Disclosure: A sample product was provided for review purposes; all opinions are 100% ours.

Cool Giveaway: Enter to win a personalized Cabbage Patch Kids Fashionistas by either liking Cool Baby Kid and JAKKS Pacific on Facebook OR following Cool Baby Kid and JAKKS on Twitter leaving a comment saying I” liked (or followed.) For an extra entry, comment on this post with your best Cabbage Patch memory.

Check out even more entry possibilities if you’re really determined to win. Read the prize claim information as we announce winners on Prizey.net. Expires 10/4/11.
