The crayola cutter was a gift my 7 year old had anticipated.  As a girl who loves art and making things, we both thought this would be right up her alley.  As it turns out, the cutter is harder to control and make the projects "perfect".  This tool basically perferates the paper by puncturing the paper quickly as you move along the page.  The cutting wand holds lik...

This is a case I usually use to carry my 17" laptop in.  The laptop fits fine and it has some room to store the accessories I take along with my laptop.  The shoulder strap is removable so it can be used with or without it.  The one pocket has extra padding to protect the laptop within.  Another pocket has smaller orgizational pockets to hold pens, business cards, small...

My husband opened this account when he worked at the NASA facility in Greenbelt, MD years ago.  Then, he was transferrd to another NASA center and we thought this credit union would be there, too.  However, that was a false misconception.  But that didn't stop us from being a customer.  We kept all of our existing accounts there despite the fact we live more than 600 mil...

This is the first USB Flash Drive I've owned and used.  As an individual who works on many different computers - my own, my husband's, clients, etc... - this is the best way to move files from one place to another.  It is simple to "plug" it into the usb port, copy and paste the file to the USB Flash Drive and then I'm on my way.  I can take this small devic...

As an accounting professional, I've used many different desktop calculators over the years.  This one proves to be one of the best in terms of functionality, size and ease of use.  The calculator does not have a large footprint, so it doesn't take up a lot of desk-top space.  Yet the numbers are large enough to key easily and fast.  The printing function can keep up ...

This camera is a nice small camera that is very easy to use.  I am not a big camera person.  In fact, this is only my second digital camera, the first being almost 8 years old now.  I like the compact size of this camera.  I do not like the fact that it doesn't have a viewfinder to look through, it only has the screen to use.  I do miss this feature.  I also do...

This DVD keeps my 3 1/2 year old son entertained for hours on end, day after day.  That is, if I let him stay in front of the TV for hours on end, day after day!  But seriously,  my son enjoys all the stories in this collection.  He loves the read-along story as well as the dvd games.  His 7 and 8 year old sisters help him with the games and they even enjoy the stories,...

This game could be a lot of fun.  But, everytime my daughters want to play, ususally it's a groan that I respond with.  The concept is wonderful and delightful.  However, in actuality, the game doesn't go as planned.  The concept is to build the trap as your "mouse" moves around the game board.  As each piece gets added, the mouse trap takes form. ...

This is a great game to have on your shelf at home.  It is fun to enjoy a game of dominoes with children and adults alike. The included instruction sheet is detailed and gives you several games to play with the domino set.  It is a good family game.  It is easily taught to children - they can count the dots or simply match the color of the dots.  It is a good game for childr...

My first grader introduced our family to this game.  Her teacher has several Mancala games in the classroom for the children to learn with and play the game during free time.  My daughter loved it so much, it was one of the first things on her Christmas list last year!  The more I asked other people about it, the more I heard of how much other families liked this game, too. ...

Play-Doh has been around for many, many years so it is not a new product.  This set comes with a variety of colored dough and many implements for the children to use and manipulat the dough.  My kids love to  pound the dough and use the "cookie cutters" to create the shapes.  With all their shapes then they play school or house with the shapes.  What I've ...

The kids were really excited to get this game.  They loved the idea of bringing a carnival game home and smacking the moles with the hammers.  And they do have fun with the game, but the game is hard to understand when it is talking.  In multi-player mode each player has a different sound which signals them to whac their mole, but it starts out confusing and the kids are not sure...

The Brain Quest series consists of sets of cards which are age/grade appropriate.  They come in sets for 1-7 grade and other varied sets for preschoolers, car games, America trivis and others.  Each set has 750 - 1,000 questions (300 questions for the preschooler sets) to "Challenge the Mind."  The deck of cards is bound together so you can't loose them all and get ...

This game for the Wii video game system is a great one to add to your collection.  Even if you don't have a big collection of games, this one is a must have.  What we really like about this game is the variety of games within the Carnival.  There are over 25 games of skill and chance that you can try to master.  The better you are and the more levels you get to.  Wi...

What can I say?  My 6 and 8 year old daughters love this game!  They get to learn Hannah Montana's "moves" sing along and have fun!  In this game you are Hannah Montana on tour.  With each level you are in a different city performing a different song.  Each time you earn stars and fan approval so that you move on to the next city and the next song.  B...

This will bring out the competitor in you!  We first rented this game in an effor to "try before we buy."  Well we played the game all weekend and when it was time to return the rental we went right to Walmart to buy it.  The premise for a one person game is that you are a kid on the playground and you move around challenging the computer kids to different games.  ...

Another of my 3 year old son's favorites!  And I'm sure it will be a favorite for many years to come.  This DVD commemorates 10 year of Thomas in America and has a10 different Thomas stories featuring the famous train and his friends.  Between the stories are interviews with children and parents at a "Day Out with Thomas" event to celebrate the anniversary of th...

I've had high blood pressure for over 10 years now.  It started very early in life for me.  But my doctor suggested I begin taking my blood pressure regularly at home to track my numbers.  This is the second monitor I've had.  This monitor is an auto-inflate which means that once I have the cuff on my arm, I push a button and the cuff inflates to a pre-set pressure a...

When it was time to put floors in our century home that we added to and have been remodeling, we wanted it to be beautiful and durable.  We chose to have Ash wood floors installed in our hallways.  They installed straight from the mill with a square edge.  The were unfinished.  Once they were installed, we found a trusted individual to finish them off.  This entailed hi...

On our first trip to Disney as a family, we purchased matching pajamas for everyone - Myself, my husband and two girls.  I know, it sounds corny, but it was fun.  The girls got great wear from their nightshirts, but of course, they've outgrown them.  I happned to get both the nightshirt and the pajama set. I love them both.  The front of the pajamas has a cute picture of...
