How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Christmas Ready! A #Giveaway from Hasbro & Duracell

in Lifestyle on 11/22/13

Christmas morning is only one month and 2 days away.  Do not be the Mom who gives her babe the best gift ever, but can’t turn it on because she forgot the batteries!!  (Not that I have ever done that)  Cough, Cough.  Since the year of the Christmas morning fail;  where my babe looked up to me with her baby blues, holding out the bestest toy ever in need of a little battery magic and I was left to do the panic rummage through remotes and flashlights to get the whirly gigs to light and beep, I am now the Prepared Mom! 

DuracellQI am ready to go at all times with Duracell batteries that fit the toys Santa brings and extras on hand for toys I would never have dreamed needed a little extra power!  Our house is a full on Christmas success story!  We are ready to #PowerSmiles thanks to Duracell. 

This year I will be trying out the Duracell Quantum. A revolutionary advancement in battery technology. Combined with a Hi-Density Core™ and PowerCheck™, it’s a Quantum leap in battery power.

 

The very first toy that will be powering some smiles?  The KRE-O CITYVILLE INVASION MARINA MADNESS Building Set. I may be raising two girls, but one of these little people loves to build, and I have no doubt the the KRE-O CITYVILLE INVASION MARINA MADNESS building set, packed with action, danger and a SONIC MOTION enabled shark figure will be a hit in this house.

KREO Marina Madness

 

Check it out!  Using the 206 KRE-O pieces included, builders can construct the marina, fishing boat, shark transport vehicle, crane and the spear projectile. Don’t you just love toys that require a little imagination? 

The second toy getting powered up by Duracell, is the Magic Jinn! Have you seen this toy yet?

MagicJinn

 

“Think of an animal and leave the rest up to Magic Jinn! Be amazed as Magic Jinn guesses your thoughts in this new interactive guessing game. Listen to a series of questions from Magic Jinn to which you answer yes, no, or I don’t know. You may think you can stump Magic Jinn, but he will magically try to guess the animal you are thinking of with his questions!   Recommended for those Age: 6 years and up.”

I don’t know how the Magic Jinn does it, but it is always right!! Great for some entertainment on a long car ride!
