A MESSAGE FROM<br />

Val Ives<br />

A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS MESSAGE I LIKE TO SHARE EVERY YEAR<br />

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old<br />

daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight<br />

and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put<br />

under the Christmas tree.<br />

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next<br />

morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy. He was embarrassed by<br />

his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the<br />

box was empty. He yelled at her, “Don’t you know that when you give<br />

someone a present, there’s supposed to be something in it?”<br />

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said “Oh,<br />

Daddy, it is not empty. I blew kisses into the box. All for you, Daddy.”<br />

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he<br />

begged for her forgiveness.<br />

It is told that the man kept that gold box by his bed for years and<br />

whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss<br />

and remember the love of the child who had put it there.<br />

In a very real sense, each of us as humans have been given a gold container<br />

filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children,<br />

friends, family or God. There is no more precious possession anyone<br />

could hold.<br />

Amazon Says These Are Going to Be the Hottest Toys of Christmas <strong>2018</strong><br />

Pomsies Speckles Plush Interactive Toys<br />

Pet toys are going to be huge this holiday<br />

season, according to our Good Housekeeping<br />

Institute toy experts. Think of Pomsies as<br />

Fingerlings with fur. The super affordable interactive<br />

toy clips on to an arm, backpack, or<br />

clothes so kids can carry it with them all day.<br />

Chow Crown Game<br />

If your kid can’t stop playing with his food at<br />

the table, give him this game. Players wear a<br />

spinning crown loaded with snacks and have<br />

to try to eat everything before time is up. Just<br />

note that in the Good Housekeeping Institute’s<br />

test, older kids had a better time grasping the<br />

game than younger ones.<br />

Scruff-A-Luvs<br />

Each Scruff-a-Luv comes as a matted ball of<br />

fur with only its eyes showing. Once kids wash,<br />

dry, and style its hair, their new pet is revealed!<br />

This adorable toy is already back-ordered until<br />

mid-September, so we suspect it’s going to be<br />

ever trickier to get as the holidays get closer.<br />

Hot Diggity Dance & Play Mickey<br />

Kids will recognize the “Hot Dog” song Mickey<br />

is singing and dancing to from the popular<br />

Disney Junior series, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.<br />

Once he’s done with his performance,<br />

you can play interactive games with Mickey,<br />

too!<br />

L.O.L. Surprise! Glam Glitter Series Doll<br />

We know you know that L.O.L Surprise dolls<br />

aren’t going anywhere, but the Glam Glitter<br />

doll is likely one your child hasn’t unboxed yet.<br />

Watch Ya Mouth Throwdown Edition<br />

Card Game<br />

This hilarious game has players wear cheek retractors<br />

that make saying phrases difficult to<br />

say the least. Their teammates have to guess<br />

what they are saying to win, but getting guesses<br />

out in between laughing might just be the<br />

hardest part!<br />

Crayola Color Chemistry Set for Kids<br />

This set from Crayola transforms your child<br />

into a scientist thanks to the 50 experiments.<br />

Just know that adult supervision is recommended.<br />

Melissa & Doug Examine and Treat Pet<br />

Vet Play Set<br />

Our toy experts in the Good Housekeeping<br />

Institute liked that this set helps kids practice<br />

empathy and caring while they play.<br />

LEGO Classic Medium Creative Brick Box<br />

Think of this as the starter kit that every LEGO<br />

fan needs. It comes with 484 piece that can also<br />

be used to build other LEGO sets.<br />

Ozobot Bit Coding Robot<br />

Ozobot teaches your kids coding through coloring<br />

on a tablet. Depending on the colors and<br />

designs they use, Bit will follow command.<br />

Baby Alive Potty Dance Baby<br />

Because Baby Alive didn’t do enough already:<br />

now she pees! The doll does a little dance to<br />

let Mommy or Daddy know she needs to use<br />

the bathroom. Once she’s placed on the potty,<br />

she’ll tinkle and kids can add a sticker to her<br />

reward chart. Children were pretty amazed by<br />

all this during the Good Housekeeping Institute’s<br />

test.<br />

Hot Wheels Corkscrew Crash Track Set<br />

With three motorized speed boosters, a dropin<br />

ramp, and crazy corkscrews, the race course<br />

options are endless. Just note, it only comes<br />

with one car, so you may want to stock up on<br />

more.<br />

furReal Munchin’ Rex<br />

It’s the year of the dinosaur, says the Good<br />

Housekeeping Institute! The way this baby T-<br />

Rex eats, begs, and hops is so realistic, your<br />

kids will forget that dinosaurs are extinct.<br />

Melissa & Doug Scoop and Serve Ice<br />

Cream Counter<br />

The 28-piece wooden set includes an ice cream<br />

counter, eight ice cream scoops, six toppings,<br />

two cones, cup, scooper, tongs, wooden spoon,<br />

and six $1 bills.<br />

Barbie Care Clinic Vehicle<br />

Barbie is back with a new resume booster. Kids<br />

can rush to the scene in her emergency vehicle<br />

and then flip it open to reveal a fully-functioning<br />

clinic to treat her patients.<br />

Little Tikes Cozy Coupe Dino<br />

The red and yellow coupe from your childhood<br />

got a serious upgrade: Now it’s a rolling<br />

Dino that they can drive around town.<br />

L.O.L. Surprise! Bigger Surprise!<br />

Your L.O.L. Surprise lover may think she’s seen<br />

it all, until she gets her hands on its biggest<br />

surprise yet. This top-secret box is jam-packed<br />

with over 60 brand new dolls, accessories, and<br />

more.<br />

Kano ‘Harry Potter’ Coding Kit<br />

Thanks to the release of Fantastic Beasts 2, a<br />

ton of new Harry Potter-inspired toys are hitting<br />

the market in <strong>2018</strong>. This STEM option<br />

teaches kids to code a wand that responds to<br />

their movements.<br />

LEGO ‘Harry Potter’ Hogwarts Great<br />

Hall Building Kit<br />

Harry Potter lovers were thrilled with this<br />

Hogwarts building kit in the Good Housekeeping<br />

Institute’s testing. It comes with a potions<br />

room, treasure room, sorting hat, and the<br />

Mirror of Erised so they can take Harry and<br />

friends on their wildest adventures yet.<br />

Osmo Genius Kit<br />

Here’s a good excuse for screen time: Osmo’s<br />

Genius Kit offers up fun games on your iPad<br />

that promote math, spelling, and other learning<br />

skills. There are a ton of positive reviews<br />

for this, but some parents did say the ads were<br />

a downside.<br />

littleBits Avengers Hero Inventor Kit<br />

The Good Housekeeping Institute loved that<br />

this STEM toy comes with 18 projects, so it’s<br />

not something kids will get tired of after a few<br />

hours. Some of the more advanced projects<br />

even let them practice coding.<br />

LEGO Boost Creative Toolbox<br />

Packed with over 840 Lego pieces, along with<br />

a move hub and an interactive motor, the possibilities<br />

for your child’s robot creations are<br />

endless with this 2017 Good Housekeeping<br />

Toy Award kit.<br />

Pie Face Cannon Game<br />

This carnival-inspired game brings a new twist<br />

to the original Pie Face. Players have to aim<br />

and launch the whipped cream cannon in their<br />

friend’s face.<br />

Cozmo<br />

If your kids are new to coding, give them Cozmo.<br />

The friendly robot’s Code Lab lets him interact,<br />

explore, and play games with the push<br />

of a few buttons.<br />

L.O.L. Surprise! House<br />

Not only does an exclusive family come with<br />

this doll house, but it also has 85+ surprises<br />

tucked inside and an elevator, pool, spa, and<br />

sandbox. Note that this does take up a bit of<br />

space (it’s three-by-three feet wide), but it doubles<br />

as storage for every L.O.L. doll she owns.<br />

A sincere thank you to those<br />

who graciously donated to<br />

our food drive. Because of<br />

you many less fortunate will<br />

benefit. We couldn’t do it<br />

without you! Thank you so<br />

much!<br />
