As the holiday season draws closer, Nintendo is spicing up the festivities with Black Friday offers that let families explore fun ways to spend time together during this special time of year and beyond. Starting Nov. 20, select retailers and the My Nintendo Store will offer the Nintendo Switch w/ Neon Blue & Neon Red Joy-Con + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Full Game Download) + 3 Month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership* bundle at a suggested retail price of just $299.99 (a $70 value**).

The Nintendo Switch bundle is just one of many Black Friday offerings that entertain and engage the whole family. Other offers include a $20 discount on Mario Party Superstars, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes and BRAVELY DEFAULT II at select retailers, bringing their suggested retail price to only $39.99 each during the Black Friday promotion.

“This holiday season, we want to give even more families the opportunity to get together and experience everything the Nintendo Switch system has to offer,” said Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser. “Our Black Friday Nintendo Switch bundle and deals on games make this the perfect season for families looking to connect and spend quality time together.”

Families can also discover even more gameplay options with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. This paid membership offers the same great features as the Nintendo Switch Online membership, including online play, save data cloud and a library of NES and Super NES games, with the addition of classic Nintendo 64 and SEGA Genesis games and access to select downloadable content, like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion and Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise, at no additional cost.

Outside of this year’s Black Friday specials, Nintendo has plenty of other gift ideas for holiday shoppers to consider.

Just like Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch – OLED Model allows players to play on the TV and share the detachable Joy-Con controllers for right-out-of-the-box multiplayer fun. Plus, the system can be taken on the go to enjoy its play-anywhere versatility. For gamers on the go, there’s also Nintendo Switch Lite, a compact and lightweight handheld system with built-in controllers for those who prefer to take their adventures with them (suggested retail price $199.99).

Recently launched games like Splatoon 3, Nintendo Switch Sports and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope are also currently available, with upcoming games Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet launching exclusively for Nintendo Switch on Nov. 18.

Great Gifts for the Whole Family This Christmas

December 24, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Christmas is a time for family, so why not gift yours with presents that you can all enjoy and appreciate? By doing so, you’d all be able to share the experience of giving and receiving as one, big, happy bunch together, and you wouldn’t run the risk of leaving anybody out.

To find some of this festive season’s greatest family-oriented gifts, make sure to read on.

Membership at a local attraction

If you want to give your loved ones a gift that keeps on giving, then you should buy family membership to a local attraction. It could be a zoo, a museum, or anything else at all — whatever you choose; you’ll be sure to have months and months of fun. That beats seeing your kids play with a toy on Christmas Day and never touch it again, surely?

Trivia games that include adult and kids questions

There’s nothing worse for both adults and kids alike than being asked questions that are out of their age range. For adults, it can get tedious being asked questions about cartoon characters and Disney animations; for children, it can get downright boring being asked questions on subjects like history and geography. To combat this plight when you sit down for your annual Christmas quiz, make sure to use a trivia game that includes questions that everybody can answer — Trivial Pursuit Family Edition will fit the bill in this instance.

A photo album

It doesn’t have to be all fun and games, though. There’s still plenty of room for sentimentality when it comes to gifting your whole family with a present, and there’s little else more sentimental than a photo album. This kind of gift is sure to go down a treat on Christmas Day, especially if your other half loves a bit of nostalgia (the kids might show a bit of interest in it for a time, too).

If you leave compiling your album to the last minute and find that you can’t get your chosen photographs printed and delivered to you on time, fear not, as you can always use your printer. The printers of today are able to produce quality photographs, and they can be used at any point. Just make sure that you have enough ink come printing day, as running out is an added headache you’re not going to need while you’re in the midst of getting your presents ready. You can find low-cost printer cartridges at Cartridge People, so there really is no excuse for you not to stock up!

A movie night bundle

By bundling together everything your family is going to need to have a memorable movie night, you’ll well and truly be onto a winner. Consider filling your movie-night basket with popcorn, soda, candy, and, of course, a family-friendly film or two.

If you’re struggling for ideas with regards to what to get your family for Christmas, make sure to remember all of the advice laid out above. By doing so, you could make this holiday season the most magical one yet.

Holiday Gift Guide – Hess Toy Truck

December 18, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Holiday traditions are some of the best and most memorable parts of this season, and when it comes to gift traditions, the Hess Toy Truck has been a celebrated tradition for families along the East coast and around the country for the 52 Years.

Never heard of the Hess Toy Truck? I was so surprised to find that they have been creating a new truck for the past 52 years. This year the 2016 Hess Toy Truck and Dragster is one of the hottest toys online this year, available exclusively online at www.hesstoytruck.com. The Dragster is the biggest accompanying vehicle in Hess fleet history, and as a two-in-one toy with Energizer batteries and free shipping included, the Hess Toy Truck is a great value toy for families looking for the perfect holiday gift for any car and truck enthusiast.

In receiving this I can attest that this is a HUGE vehicle. I can also attest that it is very well built and with all of the bells and whistles you and your kids can have a blast playing with this, or even just displaying it as it is a work of craftsmanship too!

Creative Snow With Pinypon #Giveaway! @PinyponUSA

November 22, 2013 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

About the Toys

Santa loves snow; he’s surrounded by it every week of the year! So imagine his enchantment with the new Pinypon Snow Ski Lodge playset ($39.99) and the accompanying Pinypon Snow Adventure Car & Tow ($12.99). Pinypon was introduced to the U.S. market in 2012 and little girls everywhere are smitten with the pint-size doll line, outfits and accessories.

Established in 1957 by a group of artisan doll makers, Famosa has become a leading European toy company and doll manufacturer based in Spain. The company has a stellar reputation as a developer of innovative, safe and high quality products that foster all around development for young children. Families who grew up in Spain or Mexico likely have fond and warm memories of playing with their Famosa toys. Famosa currently operates in over 95 countries, reaching a wide range of consumers. In 2010, Famosa was acquired by Sun Capital Partners and its U.S. operations were established in October 2011, based in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. The company markets brands including Pinypon, Nenuco, Nancy and Feber.

My Take on the Toys

I have to start by saying that I am always looking for new playsets that will engage my youngest daughters’ curiosity as well as help spark imaginative play for her and her friends. I can be honest in saying that I had never heard of this company before trying this out, most likely because of it being a European company and only finding the company at our local Toys ‘R Us.

One of the things that really stands out with these sets are the little extras that they provide. One of the things that stood out most was the ice rink that was a part of the Ski Lodge Playset. The ice rink can be filled and then placed in the freezer to freeze and voila, you have an ice rink that the characters can play on. My daughter will play on this rink until it melts and then ask me to do it again!

The characters in this are fun and both of the playsets are well made and I can tell that they will outlast some of the other sets we have had in our home in the past.

The company also has put a lot of additional details into not only the characters but the playsets themselves, and these additional add-ons were very nice to find and my daughter loved them. For example the lodge has little things like logs for the fireplace, beds, tables sunglasses on the characters and so much more.

I highly recommend Pinypon to all and hope to find some great new sets to follow these!
