Halloween Express Review & $75 Gift Card Giveaway

Halloween is, by far, my favorite holiday of the year and I love sharing all the fun with my kids. We get dressed up every year and we also decorate our house! This year our house is all decked out. Since we live in the middle of nowhere, it is really just for us, but it is still fun and the kids have a blast doing it. Each year I really enjoy looking up costume ideas with the kids because they get so excited! This year we had a great time looking at all the cute costumes at Halloween Express! 

Last year Liam picked at a duck costume, which was adorable, but I have to admit it was itchy and not well-made. This year I wanted something of better quality and Halloween Express has a huge variety of items, so I knew we could find more than enough to satisfy my kiddos. I've always heard how cute the Tom Arma costumes are and Halloween Express has them! To my delight they had not only infant sizes, but toddler sizes as well. We ended up getting the Tom Arma Monkey costume for both my son and my nephew and they cannot wait until Halloween to wear them.

Yes, this is a stock photo, but this is such an adorable costume, I didn't want my kids getting it messy before Halloween! Isn't it cute? The costume is so soft and warm, so I am hoping for a chilly Halloween for him. The monkey stuffed animal also comes with the costume, another reason I have tried to hide the costume from him because he would not let it out of sight if he saw it. I love everything about this costume. Since Liam has NF, his head is slightly too big for the pullover hat, but we are getting it enlarged just for him!

Josiah, my oldest, is now out of the "cute" stage and has moved on to zombie games and ninja cartoons. When he saw the Zombie Ninja costume it just had to be his! As soon as it arrived, he put it on.

As you can see, he loves this costume. In the past, I've bought him costumes only for him to declare war on it Halloween day because it itches or hurts. Not this time! He did not want to take the costume off at all. The costume really has a great deal of extra pieces to make it special and at only $36.99, it is also affordable. Although it did not come with a ninja sword, they have plenty to choose from at Halloween Express that fit perfectly.

Halloween is slowly coming upon us and it is apparent by all the houses we pass going into town! I love all of the great decorations people have, especially one yard that is decorated from top to bottom. Have you decorated your house yet? Do you have your costume? Well, it isn't too late for you!

Holiday Gift Guide: Tonka Road Crew Tool Truck Review & Giveaway

I always ask the boys what they want for Christmas and every single year there is one thing that never changes from the list: cars/trucks! No matter how many they have, they always want more. Well, Funrise Toys has a new line of trucks this year called the Tonka Road Crew Tool Trucks, which make for perfect holiday gifts. We received the Tool Truck Fire Truck with the Jaws Of Life to review.

About the Tonka Road Crew Tool Truck Fire Truck

Take on the toughest jobs with the toughest tools! The Tonka Tools Fire Truck features an opening rear hatch that reveals a cool motorized jaws-of-life tool! Use the tool for your rescue missions and activate the flashing lights and realistic sounds feature with the push of a button. Now you’re a real Tonka Hero! 
Recommended for Ages 3+.
Check out the Tonka Tool Trucks and Roadway Rigs in Action!

My Thoughts

I knew my boys would love this truck and, sure enough, as soon as we received it, Liam was all over the box. He loves fire trucks and we recently watched a video about the life firemen, so this was more than exciting for him. I was trying to figure out how to make the sounds work and it was like he knew right away what to push. Although the toy is recommended for 3 and up, he is 2 and absolutely loves it. His brother, at 4 years old, is also in love with his Tonka Road Crew Tool Truck Fire Truck.

What I, personally, like about Tonka is the durability of their products. I know the boys can be rough, take this truck outdoors, play with it indoors and it will still have tons of life left. We have Tonka Trucks from 4 years ago that still work just as well as the day we bought them. I also love that they encourage imagination and creativity. The boys pretend they are firemen going to save people and have played for hours on end with this truck.

I think any child who loves cars and trucks would be thrilled to receive a Tonka Road Crew Tool Truck for Christmas. In addition to the fire truck, Funrise also features a utility truck with a jackhammer.

Ready to win this amazing gift for a special boy or girl?
