Holiday Gift Guide 2009: JAKKS Pacific Giveaway

November 11, 2009 by Caryn

This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Maggie C!

This year’s holiday season is sure to bring out the best in toys from a variety of companies. And if you’re like me, choosing the right toy…one that will turn your tot into a little genuis…isn’t necessarily straightforward. There are things to think about…like price and availability and durability and lasting value.

JAKKS Pacific has an incredible holiday lineup of toys for children. Some of my favorite brands represented include Discovery Kids, GX Racers, Girl Gourmet, and Style Six. Here are just a few holiday gift ideas, courtesy of the company:

DKEco-Systems If your children enjoy animals (what child doesn’t?) Discovery Kids Smart Animals Eco-Systems allow children to collect, build, and play with a full set of miniature animal habitats. Or better yet, check out their Yuck Bugs! toys. Fortunately (for the sake of moms) they’re not real!

JakksGXRacers Little boys love cars. And racing. And things that go go go! Just released this summer are the GX Racers. They combine speed with stunts and just look like a lot of fun. My picks? The GX Motorized Launcher and GX Racers Tightrope Terror Playset (because I want to see these cars defy the norm).

_K7T8659_p_gg When I was a little girl, I had a little play oven that my mom and I would bake small cakes in. These days, little girls can make edible gourmet cupcakes and design cakes (for the aspiring Martha Stewart) with Girl Gourmet’s line of “fun and fashionable bakeware.” Baking is not only fun, it teaches children about life (because we all know how great of a cook I am!). New to the line is the Girl Gourmet Candy Bead Studio. These necklaces and bracelets look good enough to eat (and fortunately, they’re edible!). The set includes a vacuum-molded beading compartment and bead guide along with the resources required to make 24 edible necklaces and bracelets.

att4e449 If you have a crafty tween, check out Style Six’s fashion activity kits. Where was this when I was growing up? Girls can design their own t-shirts, jeans, purses, hats, belts, and more using silkscreen, airbrush, stencils, felt, paint, ribbons and gems (so cool!). A perfect activity for aspiring fashion designers! Check out the entire line of activity kits.

Much of JAKKS Pacific’s toy lineup includes activities that will inspire creativity and foster learning.

Win It! One of you will win a Girl Gourmet Candy Bead Studio! Simply leave me a comment with ANOTHER product from the site that you’d like this holiday season for your child.

I also really like the giveaway prize, perfect for a 10year old I know and who’d be super happy if I won this, but I also really like the Black and Decker Junior Electronic Workbench for a little 3 year old in my life.
Good luck to all.

I subscribe via email. Extra entry #1.

At Your Holiday Gift Guide I like best the Wilton Gingerbread House Kits. It’s been too long since I’ve done a Gingerbread house and a kit would make it so much easier.
Extra entry #2.

Extra entry #3, I entered Shannon’s “Little Spirit: Christmas in New York” DVD giveaway. Isn’t it wonderful how Leo is going to find out that the Spirit of Christmas is really about the people he meets. I like that this DVD is going to have a great subtle message in it, and not just teach kids that Christmas is about how many toys they get on Christmas morning.

I like the Cabbage Patch Kids® Newborns with Story Book
