TOOBS Review and Giveaway

When Noah was three, I started buying him Toobs. We call them Tube Toys. They come in all kinds of animals. They are really cool. He has quite a few of them.  I blogged about them in the past because I use them to decorate his birthday cakes because I am not a cake decorator in the slightest.  He also loves to play with them and collect them. He has taken them to the pool with them since most of the ones he has are sea life or fish. It is one of the things he cherishes.  In Kindergarten, he wanted to take them for show and tell, since they were educational.  So, I approved it through his teacher because they had issues with toys before. He brought them and another child stole them and passed them out to all the other kids. Noah was heartbroken. The only reason I knew about it was because the little boy he rode home with was arguing with Noah about a turtle.  We got it all straightened out and the teacher had to call every parent to get them back.  The other child lied about stealing them and said they were his.  I ended up buying him a couple new Toobs because we weren’t sure that we had them all. Some kids have special blankets or stuffed animals, Noah has his Toobs.  He looks forward to receiving them on Birthdays and even from Santa. 

I had the opportunity to world with Safari Ltd. They make Toobs and a bunch of other really cool toys. As I was browsing their catalog, I noticed he has some of their other toys too, like a realistic looking hermit crab. Santa got that at the Fort Desoto gift shop I believe.  I really like Safari Ltd because their toys look realistic.  Noah is really in to nonfiction and he knows that fish do not smile so if there is a smile on something he says something. He can really be silly. This time we received the Baby Sea Life Toobs and the Sharks Toobs. The Baby Sea Life are so cute. I am partial to little baby things.  Noah likes them too. He has matched them up with some of the grown up creatures he has.  My son can name all the different types of sharks too.  It’s really funny because he is constantly impressing adults with his knowledge of fish and sea life.  We went to a neighbor’ house to check out his new 100 gallon tank and Noah was talking fish and identifying all of them and taking about all the different types of coral. He wasn’t saying I like the pink coral, he would use the name of the type.  Toobs are a huge part of our lives. It is really cool to be able to share with Noah really cool toys that are also educational. 

Toobs are a great gift because kids love them. Boys and Girls alike.  They are great for a child who loves animals or sea life or pretty much anything. They have so many different types I am sure you could find something that interests the child in your life. They come in a tube so they could be a great stocking stuffer or wrap up a couple together and start collecting all the different Toobs. Be sure to check out Safari Ltd.’s other toys too.

GlammaTOYS Review and Giveaway

My son like all other kids loves toys. That is his favorite thing for me to review. We had a chance to review a toy from GlammaTOYS. GlammaTOYS is a website where you can purchase all kinds of wonderful toys. They have so many to choose from. They even sell one of my favorite games, Bananagrams. My cousin got me addicted to Bananagrams.

I really like the selection of toys. They also have toys that are great for children with Special Needs including Autism, Down’s Syndrome and Learning Disabilities. You can check out their attention to special needs.

GlammaTOYS even has a special program for teachers and other educators called Educator’s Corner where you get a 10% discount and other special deals and emails. My mom is a teacher so, I know that a lot of the time the materials that teachers have in their classrooms are out of the teacher’s pocket. I think it is wonderful that GlammaTOYS offers them a discount. It is even free to join! What a great way to give back to our teachers. Here is more information on Educator’s Corner
including how to sign up.

You can earn Glammabucks in GlammaTOYS’ loyalty program. It’s really easy when you sign up for a customer account you are automatically enrolled for the rewards program. Just shop and for every dollar you spend you get 3,000 glammabucks reward points. They add up quickly and can be redeemed for instant GlammaTOYS gift certificates. Your points do not expire either. How cool is that? They really reward you for shopping with them. It’s not the normal 10 points a dollar it is three thousand. There are also special offers and free gift wrapping for qualified members. Psst…Teachers… You get double points if you sign up for the Educator’s Corner. Check out here for more about the Loyality program.

If that wasn’t enough to make you run to go shop, GlammaTOYS also has a Refer a Friend program. Here is how it works. For every person you refer you get a $5 gift certificate when your friend makes their first purchase. Your friend saves 10% on their purchase and has all the luxuries of being a GlammaTOYS shopper too. I am sure you and your friends will find wonderful educational toys for your children.


We had the chance to review the Kimochis Huggtopus Box. Kimochi is Japanese for feelings. The Kimochi family of toys were created to help children express their feelings which can be a hard thing to do as a young child. The Huggtopus is a stuffed octopus that comes with emotion cushions. The Huggtopus helps children identify and express their feelings. It calms and comforts and instills confidence. The Huggtopus comes with a story book too.

The day we received the Huggtopus, my son was so excited to open the box and see it. I had showed him on my computer what was coming a couple days before it arrived. So, when I told him it had arrived he was so excited. He wanted me to open the box and he stood right by me the entire time. Once he saw the Huggotpus, his eyes lit up and he smiled. I showed him the little feeling friends as I call them and he liked taking them out of their little bag and putting them back in again. He carried around the Huggtopus all day and even slept with it next to him that night. He likes to talk about him. We haven’t given him a name yet. That will come in time I am sure. I like how soft and cuddly the huggtopus is. You can’t help but want to hug it. It looks so friendly and sweet. We really love our newest stuffed addition.
