#NerdBlock

Introducing to you the first geek tested nerd approved monthly subscription box - Nerd Block!  

Nerd Block offers subscription boxes for geeks and gamers, comic fans, and movie enthusiasts.  Each Nerd Block is filled with toys and collectibles from your favorite brands including Star Wars, Marvel, and Adventure Time, just to name a few!  


When ordering a Nerd Block you have four options:
  1. Nerd Block Classic - Comic Con in a box + a shirt!
  2. Nerd Block Jr. Boys - Nerd gear for children aged 6-11
  3. Nerd Block Jr. Girls - Nerd gear for girls aged 6-11
  4. Horror Block - The Pop Horror box for those who enjoy zombies and scary movies!
When asked if I wanted to review a Nerd Block Jr. Girls or Boys, I decided to order one for my boys since I have three boys, but I was so tempted to order a Nerd Block Jr, Girls box because little girls toys are always so much fun, plus I knew my daughter would have loved to receive some surprise toys.  Never the less, I chose to review the Nerd Block Jr Boys with all three of my boys. This was going to mean compromise, sharing, and taking turns.

Here's comes the fun part...the contents of the Nerd Block Jr. Boys! Check out everything we received, below.


*Pokemon 5 Card Set
*Star Wars Trading Card Game Pack
*Star Wars Plush Toy
*DC Universe Mystery Mini Toy in a box
*Tech Deck Longboard Toy
*Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Water Grow Turtle

Luckily, there was just enough items for them to each take two turns choosing toys.  My youngest chose the Pokemon Card Set and Plush Toy, while my middle son chose the Water Grow Turtle and Mystery Toy, and my oldest son chose the Tech Deck toy and Star Wars Trading Game Cards. I helped my son with the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Water Grow Turtle and it was so much fun to see it slowly grow larger and larger.  Plus, I secretly enjoyed it because the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was one of my favorite cartoons growing up.  Which also got me thinking, sometimes little girls might even enjoy the boys box too, depending upon what their interests are. 

Because of the selection of small items, I believe the Nerd Block subscription boxes would make great gifts, excellent prizes, or a special reward for a special child in your life.  

BUY IT: Nerd Blocks range from $13.99 to $19.99 a month, plus shipping.

Nenuco Me & My Little Sister

*Disclaimer - I received the items mentioned below, free of charge, for review purposes.  In no way did this alter my review.  All of my opinions expressed in this post are one-hundred percent honest and true.*

When children learn they will soon have a new sibling in the family, they sometimes have mixed emotions. Introducing them to a Nenuco Me and My Little Sister will  help introduce them to the joys of having a sibling. Children will have fun nurturing their baby doll as they practice feeding, holding, bathing, dressing, and taking care of the baby doll.  This sweet set is sure to prove the bond that sibling share for a lifetime!

Famosa is the brand bethind this darling doll set.  As you may know, Famosa is a European toy company well known for their high quality dolls.  The Nenuco line was launched over 35 years ago, and has become the number one doll brand in Spain.  

Nenuco Me & My Little Sister  features two adorable little dolls, that both offer different features.We decided to name the youngest doll "Lilly' and the older sibling "Lillah".  Lilly is 14" tall while Lillah is 16 inches tall.  The little sister sports a pretty floral romper while the big sister wears a matching dress, complete with visor.  They both have piercing blue eyes and are absolutely adorable.  

My daughter has spent many hours playing with the dolls as she lets her imagination run wild.  She pretends to feed them and even lays them down in her bed and of course, she tucks them in too.  It's so cute to see her pretending she has a little sister. Know when she goes somewhere she is sure to bring her Lilly and Lillah too!

If you are expecting a sibling for your child or recently had a baby, you should definitely considering purchasing Nenuco and Her Little Sister doll set to introduce them to what it feels like to have a sibling.

Blow away the competition with AirForce BlowGuns!

You will never meet a foam dart gun more effective or simple as the AirForce BlowGuns!  At first glance, it may look a lot like a typical dart gun, but it is far much more than just that.  

The AirForce BlowGun Includes a pair of high quality safety glasses and ten darts.  You may want to purchase an additional set of 50 foam darts for $9.95.  



To use the AirForce BlowGun:


  • Make sure to put your safety glasses on
  • Hold the AirForce gun safely against your shoulder
  • Place the dart in the end of the barrel
  • Suck dart gently into gun
  • Aim and blow back out

Since I have three sons, the AirForce BlowGun was a huge hit with all my kiddos.  We were surprised by how far they were able to shoot the darts, which added to all the fun.  They actually shoot up to an amazing 100 feet! The target was actually fully functional and came in very handy.  Overall, we were very pleased with the AirForce BlowGun and would fully recommend it to anyone who is into play dart guns, including adults!
