CUTIE FRUITIES

My daughter had some summer picnic themed fun getting an advance preview of brand new collectible toys called CUTIE FRUITIES that are scheduled to arrive on store shelves across the USA on June 1st.  Never mind how your mom told you to never play with your food when it comes to these snack packs that come filled with scented fruit character plush toys.

Available in either in a Fruities Basket or Minis Cup the characters you discover are a mystery until the packages are opened up.  There are eight large sized possible characters to discover within Fruities Baskets including kiwis, pineapple and watermelon.  Each Cutie Fruities Minis Cup is filled with three smaller sized random scented plush characters from over 40 in all to discover.

She started off opening the two Minis Cups that Magic Time sent us to check out.  You have the chance of finding common, rare or limited edition characters in each one.  "Hey Dad! They smell great! my daughter exclaimed. "These are sweet!" I do believe that is a positive endorsement from my little girl.

Next up was the Fruities Basket.  After the excitement of opening the Minis Cups, she was full of enthusiasm to tear into it! What could be inside this picnic basket looking package?

It was a big kiwi! But guess what that wasn't all.  It peeled open to reveal four scented plush fruit slices inside. A whole fruit family of plush cuties was inside the package.  Also included was a removable sheet of fruity stickers as well as a backdrop scene imprinted at the bottom of the basket so it could be used as a playset with your CUTIE FRUITIES plush figures.

Based upon the smile CUTIE FRUITIES put on my daughter's face they've earned A Geek Daddy nod of approval.  Keep an eye out for them on store toy shelves this summer. Mystery packs like these are all the rage with kids right now and CUTIE FRUITIES are a great addition to this toy category.  I promise you your kids will love playing with their food when it comes to CUTIE FRUITIES.

Heading Back To School With Whiffer Sniffers

 ** A Geek Daddy received the featured product for free to review**

Getting ready to head back to school my daughter made sure I knew that she needed some flair to add to her backpack.  She wanted to make sure she was looking cool when returning to school.  All the kids at her school now decorate their bags with pins, key chains, and clip on plush toys and of course she didn't want to be left out.  So we let my daughter brighten up her backpack with some Whiffer Sniffers.

These fun plush caricatures of food aren't just amusing to look at but also are great to sniff as they are slightly scented to smell like the things being portrayed.  Willy B. Chilly the snowcone has a mixed fruit scent while Ben Sizzlin smells like BACON!!!  Other themes include coconut, french toast and watermelon.  The scents on these clips last for about a year but they are designed to only be noticeable up close so as not to be prominent or overpowering when carried around.  To check out the full variety of Whiffer Sniffer clip on plush available, visit WhifferSniffers.com.

You can purchase Whiffer Sniffers individually either in clear sealed tube that identifies the character or by getting a mystery pack where you can get a randomly selected plush which you won't know what you have until the package is open.  In addition to the fun of being surprised some of the Whiffer Sniffers such as apple pie, french toast, and popsicle are only available by finding them in a mystery pack.



The whimsical designs and variety of smells incorporated into these plush backpack clips have delighted my kids.  Whiffer Sniffers release new product in waves and retires some of the older versions after awhile so you should be on the lookout and pick up the ones you are really interested in.  If you are looking for something unique to help a child personalize his or her school backpack check out Whiffer Sniffers.
