Here Comes Christmas by Caroline Jayne Church.  A little boy imagines what he’ll receive for Christmas: a dragon to ride, a lollipop tree–but can these things be?

Little Scholastic: Stacking Shapes by Salina Yoon.  A literary spin on a classic toy, Little Scholastic: Stacking Shapes is an active read for any young child.

It’s Christmas David! by David Shannon.  Readers of all ages will vividly remember trying to peek at hidden gift packages; writing scrolls of wish lists to Santa; and struggling to behave at formal Christmas dinner parties. Always in the background, we know Santa Claus is watching, soon to decide if David deserves a shiny new fire truck or a lump of coal under the tree. From playing with delicate ornaments to standing in an endlessly long line for Santa, here are common Christmas activities–but with David’s naughty trimmings. $16.99.

Thanks to scholastic for providing these awesome prize packs! but sorry this is limited to United States only.

Freerider from Mountain Buggy is set to hit stores shortly

Once you’re kids get old enough to say they want to walk more… instead of getting into the stroller you start to look for options for them standing while you’re pushing like a roller board, but this is the a great option that allows you to not only push them along but also unhook the freerider to put it into stroller mode.

I really like how this video shows the dad skateboarding while the kiddo is using the freerider.

10 Days of Gifting! Tassimo Brewbot – serving one cup at a time – review and giveaway

10 Days of Gifting! Tassimo Brewbot – serving one cup at a time – review and giveaway

Welcome to day 3 of 10 days of gifting – We’ve got a great gift for those that drink almost anything! I mean it this Tassimo Brewbot T20 by Bosch [Amazon] serves up coffee, tea, cappuccino, latte, crema, espresso and hot cocoa.

When I told my wife she was like yah ok great… you want to know got her to smile is that Tassimo T-Cups are the only ones that have Starbucks – thats right it was like magic to her ears.  Each t-cup makes 6 oz of drink, of course you add more water but it will water down the drink.  It’s perfect for those families that don’t drink the same thing or just needs one cup in the morning or a cappuccino here or there.

It takes less then 2 minutes from start to finish to create a cup of coffee.Think about that for a second less then 2 minutes it takes longer usually just to put the coffee in old machines. Really because of the design of how the water works it heats up in a quarter of the time of usual coffee makers.

Its the same form factor as most coffee machines if not just a little bit longer in depth. It’s also easier then most coffee makers with a simple button. Press the big button it reads the bar-code on the tcup and knows what to make. The ease of use of brewbot is probably the best part about it. Because all you do is insert the T-Disc, and press go. Granted that you have already filled up water in the tank.

Plus I love robots and the commercial that’s been airing is pretty cute check it out….

So remember DaDa Rocks 10 days of gifting is all about the 24 hour giveaway and this is no different! We want to get this under your tree 🙂 Although for this one we’re doing the regular full blown method of our regular giveaways… If you really want to make sure you have one here is a great SPECIAL OFFER: Purchase a Tassimo T20 Brewbot online here: http://bit.ly/Tassimo25 and save $25 and get 2 free T DISCS!

Just Dance Kids for Wii – Review and Giveaway!

Just Dance Kids for Wii – Review and Giveaway!

Just Dance Kids [ Amazon ] is just that a dance game for kids. Its pretty awesome to see my son’s face light up when we pull it out… cause he knows its time to DANCE!!! and thats just it since this has three yo gabba gabba songs we created a custom playlist and thats pretty much all he dances too.

I challenged my wife to a few goes to the random choice, of course she kicked my butt! Over 40 fun dances/songs that are led by real kids, which really gets my son into the game (as he watches the kids on TV and tries to follow along – monkey see monkey do right?!).

It is a family game that’s for sure and in the end a game that gets you off the couch and into dance mode. I highly recommend this for the kids (yes, there are 3 or 4 songs that are snoozers like Happy Birthday) but otherwise its a great kiddie sound track!

XBox 360 & Kinect with 2 games giveaway!

XBox 360 & Kinect with 2 games giveaway!

A few weeks ago I gave everyone a good scare (myself included) and as I tweeted from the hospital the King himself gave me a gift of an XBox 360 & Kinect, I was trying to win one just like everyone else. I cant wait! It’s by far the most popular video game gift of the season.

I went to my friends at Burger King (because they partnered with Microsoft for the release of this amazing game system) and asked if I could share the joy of giving a family a Kinect prize pack because this will really help out with their holiday shopping! Of course was their answer!

The Prize Pack includes an Xbox 360 4GB console, Kinect sensor and two games – Kinect ADVENTURES and Kinect SPORTS. Along with the Kinect, Burger King will give the lucky winner a $10 Burger King Crown Card.

While running around, picking up presents this holiday season, be sure to stop by Burger King to fuel up with a hot, flame-broiled WHOPPER or my new favorite TENDERGRILL Chicken Sandwich. It’s a great pit stop this holiday season, although we’ll be saving someone a drive from picking up the xbox 360 & Kinect from a store.

How to win it… Contest ends 11:59pm EST. December 17th, 2010.
