I’m so excited to have teamed up with Hasbro for this year’s holiday toy gift guide. I’ve had the chance to check out these toys in action both at various events and at home with my kids. I just love these line of products and I know that your kids will as well. Of course, these are just a ‘taste’ of all of the toy options available from Hasbro, but they are my personal favourites. So without further ado, here is my (Hasbro) toy gift guide for the 2019 Holiday Season; items in bold are part of the giveaway (scroll to the bottom to enter):<\/p>\n

Toddlers<\/h3>\n

Sesame Street Love to Hug Elmo<\/strong> – Ages 18 months + ($39.99)<\/span>
\nWho can resist cute and fuzzy Elmo! In celebration of Sesame Street 50 year anniversary, this is the newest Elmo doll which loves to give hugs, and he loves when YOU hug him, too! Squeeze Elmo\u2019s tummy and he raises his arms and asks\u00a0for a hug. Give Elmo a hug and he\u2019ll respond with a phrase, song, or kiss! With fun phrases, songs, and plenty of hugs and giggles,\u00a0it\u2019s a great toy or gift for kids ages 18 months and up.<\/p>\n

Preschool kids<\/h3>\n

Porcupine Pop<\/strong> – Ages 4+ ($24.99)<\/span>
\nThe basis of this game is pretty simple – try NOT TO make the porcupine pop. Of course, watching his darts fly out is the best party (and hearing the kids giggles makes the mess all worth it). It’s simple, suspenseful and silly… what’s not to like! There’s multiple variations that kids can play this game to mix things up that will keep them playing this game for a long time and will keep them coming back.<\/p>\n

Play-Doh Stamp ‘n Top Pizza Oven Playset –\u00a0Ages 3 + ($27.99)<\/span>
\nWhenever my kids say that they are bored, I always tell them to go and play with Play-Doh and it does the trick. Even with my oldest who is 9 years old. I love that this playset doesn’t require any batteries (or electronics) and it provides hours of fun. Kids can sStamp a pizza crust in the oven, then go\u00a0wild creating and customizing. It’s a great\u00a0play pizza set for kids who love to get creative with squishy materials (a fabulous replacement for slime).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

furReal WALKALOTS; Interactive Pet Toy –\u00a0Ages 4 + ($29.99)<\/span>

They also make pet sounds and funny noises.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Star Wars Remote Control D-O –\u00a0Ages 3 + ($69.99)<\/span>

Kids Ages 8+<\/h3>\n

Nerf Ultra One Motorized Blaster –\u00a0Ages 8 + ($69.99)<\/span>
\nIf you have kids that are anything like mine, then they are probably obsessed with anything Nerf! We probably have 20 different Nerf blasters and water blasters, but it never seems to be enough. We usually use them for fun family battles, whenever they have their friends over, outdoors in the summer at the cottage or at the local park. They provide the kids with hours of fun and entertainment. Experience Nerf Ultra blasters — the gold standard in Nerf
\ndart blasting! This brand new Nerf Ultra blasters have advanced design and\u00a0performance to deliver extreme distance, accuracy, and speed.\u00a0They include ground-breaking Nerf Ultra darts — the farthest\u00a0flying Nerf darts EVER, featuring an innovative flight tip, Aerofin\u00a0technology, and Nerf Ultra foam.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Transformers Generations War for Cybertron:\u00a0Siege Deluxe Class Action Figure – Ages 8 + ($29.99)<\/span>
\nWhile these toys are recommended for kids ages 8+, my youngest son Nathan has been playing with them since he was 4 years old and he’s just obsessed. I love watching him play pretend and use his imagination with transformers figures. He’s even able to transform them himself with little to no help from adults.\u00a0Deluxe Class figures feature story-inspired battle worn deco and are equipped with 1-3 weapon accessories.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Beyblade Burst Turbo Slingshock Cross Collision\u00a0Battle Set –\u00a0Ages 8 + ($79.99)<\/span>
\nThis toy is at the top of Nathan’s holiday wish list and I can’t wait to gift it to him and see his reaction Christmas morning. While we already own a few Beyblades and stadiums, this one is much larger and he loves to have battles so I think he’ll really enjoy playing with this new one. With these Beyblades, kids can keep the Performance Tips in Battle Ring Mode to\u00a0defend their position in the Beystadium, or convert them to\u00a0Slingshock Mode to ride the rails and rush into battle.<\/p>\n

For the adults:<\/h3>\n

Raising Hell<\/strong> –\u00a0Adult Party Card Game ($24.99)<\/span>
\nI’m so excited to play this game with my family and friends over the holiday season, enjoying some wine, cheese and a few good laughs. We love kids, but they are pretty funny so if you’re a parent, this game will be very relatable. The game comes with 300\u00a0caption cards and 72 photo cards. Players take turns being a\u00a0judge, and the rest of the players draw 7 caption cards while the\u00a0judge reveals a photo. Each player chooses their best caption to pair\u00a0with the photo — it’s like creating a funny parenting meme in real life.<\/p>\n
