Looking For Hot Toys For Christmas?

Melissa & Doug is a well-recognized name when it comes to toys for kids. To help you with suggestions on what to buy all the littles in your life they have just announced their “Terrific Twenty” list of toys. Check out the list: you’ll definitely find some hot toys for Christmas that your kids (and you!) would love to have. Best part? They’re also giving some away!

Some of the top twenty are pictured above; visit their website for the entire list, which includes their popular Trunki, a train set with tunnel, and much more (I personally love the stamp set – am I too old to shop Melissa & Doug for myself?). I think Bubbles would love that tea set pictured, or maybe the grocery basket set to use in her play kitchen.

You should also pop over to their Facebook page. Their 20 Days of Terrific Twenty Giveaway starts today, and each day, they’ll be giving away one of their Terrific Twenty toys! (Hint: keep checking back here – we’re going to be giving away one of the items, too!).

Men In Black 3 DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital Combo #SEEMIB3

I mentioned the other day that A2 broke his finger and had to have surgery last week. There isn’t a whole lot on TV on Friday nights, so while I was picking up a few things at the store, I decided to wander through the DVDs and Blu-Rays to see if there were any new releases that everyone might enjoy. Normally if I knew he was going to be laid up for a couple of days I’d be looking at video games, but with the contraption they have his hand wrapped up in, video games are out of the question for the next little while.
