It is All About Minecraft Now - Kids Want Minecraft Toys

OK.  This post is a bit hard to write as I am not Minecraft savvy.  I don't own the game. Though, I am SURE this is in my household's future.  Which also means a new gaming system as right now we are a Wii family.  And, although we can get it for the Wii, according to my kids this is not good enough.  Apparently, we need an Xbox. Ugh.

My son, who is 5, is HOOKED on this game.  He begs his older sister's friends to clear it with her parents to let him come in to play. He has only played it a few times, but is absolutely hooked.  And I mean on everything from the game itself to all of the toys and things that come with all of that.  

Can't afford the gaming system right now? NO problem.  He is happy with the Minecraft Hangers or any other toy he can get his hands on.  He wants it all.  I am not sure what the draw is as most of the games, toys, etc are boxes that are folded together.  But, they are hugely popular and kids want these!

This is in no way a negative review.  But without the system in my home....yet....I  can't say much about it. I will come back and update when we do add this.  But it had to be added here as it is a huge deal in my home. I have kids who are 5 and 12 who like it.  And even a small toy such as a Minecraft Hanger (which looks like a keychain to me) will make kids happy.  My guess is especially boys.

Super Super Hot for Christmas 2013 - Loom Bands!!

Oh my, I think I see loom bands in my sleep! My girls, who are preteen, are completely obsessed with these and so are their friends.  From elementary to high school, kids are covered in these bracelets and can not get enough.

If you are looking for a great stocking stuffer or just a great gift for a girl from ages 8 - 16yrs, loom bands are a very safe bet.  They love making these bracelets!  They make bracelets full of their favorite colors, friendship bracelets, showing colors of their favorite team, etc. 

It's a sure win. They make a great side gift. Here are some to get you started.
