Ah Fall....can you believe its a mere couple of weeks to HALLOWEEN?
Yeah we can't either since we're still dealing with HURRICANES.
Seriously, we've already had TWO cold fronts, enough already 2020!
But that means Christmas is on the horizon too, and I don't know about your family, but we are paring down this season, due to less visiting and celebrating, it just seems the right thing to do! So we're looking at things we can do TOGETHER, in case there is another winter stay at home period (shudder). Luckily I got contacted about checking out some great family entertainment ideas, so I can bring some to YOU, and your family!
All f the items in today's Gift Guide, are available at your local Target store,
and on Amazon, online!

So you KNOW they have FUN items for your family like this one:
Family game night just got a lot more fun! This game literally flips your world upside down! Players wear goggles that flip their vision — and then attempt to compete seemingly easy challenges! Compete to do simple tasks like writing your name, giving a high five, and pouring water from one cup into another, all while your vision is flipped upside down. You’ll be shocked how difficult even the simplest tasks become.The #UpsideDownChallenge Game will keep your friends and family laughing out loud for hours! And just when you think you've mastered it, your family will come up with a super hard challenge from the cards, or from checking out the user posted videos online (just look up the hashtag #UpsideDownChallenge to see them), the fun never ends! We both had a hard time at first adjusting to the goggles, but once you THINK you have the hang of it, then will come a challenge your brain can't do! This is perfect for the whole family, but teens especially will love this one! Especially since they can join in on the trend and post their own #UpsideDownChallenge videos to social media!
With a name like Hog Wild, you know the games from this company
are gonna have you moving! And they do!
Pizza Party Throwdown is the crazy new pizza toppings game! Players have 30 seconds to toss their “ingredients” onto the rotating pizza game board. It’s a rush against time to land your ingredients on the pizza before it finishes “baking!” Each player selects their color-coded ingredient – like pepperoni, peppers, mushrooms and of course, anchovies! Pieces then get launched onto the pizza using the special pizza chef launcher game piece. You have your choice of setting for the pizza 'spin' and I gotta tell you the fast speed is a LOT harder than it looks! The game pieces won't fly unless you put some 'oomph' behind your launch, but too much and you'll pepper the other players with your 'ingredients' made for 4 players, younger kids will get the most fun out of the game, as they tend to beat the adults! Game includes the rotating pizza game board with built-in timer, four launchers and 32 ingredients.
Smart kids, aka most homeschoolers, will instantly see ways they can make their own pieces and color a different product on the back of the 'pizza' and make multiple games in one (FYI, ours was toss beads at the Mardi Gras float, which was achieved with a small box and painters tape, and tons of leftover beads,LOL, which got destroyed by a pouncing cat before I could take a picture, sorry). Looking for a fun project on a 'dont want to school' day? There you go!
Atomic Power Popper with Sticky Targets may seem like a one person game, but just buy 2, and you've got a game that kids the kids up and MOVING! The classic Hog Wild ATOMIC POWER POPPER is back and better than ever – thanks to a flashy new design and cool new features! best thing? It requires NO BATTERIES or set up! Just load with the included EVA foam balls, pull back to build up pressure and FIRE away! PLUS, it now comes complete with three super Sticky Targets you can use just about anywhere! The really great bonus is that the foam balls are SUPER bright, so they can easily be seen in grass or on the carpet! And yes they have a mild sting when they hit, but it's more of a 'surprise' than pain!
Da kid ended up taking hers outside and using physics she had learned the previous week, to see how force plus height could equal better distance. Seriously, I'm waiting to take some pictures, and she disappeared into the back yard and then comes back with a load of data, LOL Science completed for the day! So I guess you COULD consider it a STEM toy too!
Also included on our review kit was the Yeti Holiday Popper -part of Hog Wild's, Holiday Poppers, POPular Poppers line, this fun little guy offers indoor and outdoor play with ease! All you have to do is load the 6 included EVA foam balls into the Yetis mouth, then aim, squeeze and pop out your ball! The balls can shoot out up to 20 feet! The harder you squeeze, the faster and further it shoots! With a line over over 30 poppers, you'll find one to fit every personality on your holiday list! Makes a great toy for stocking stuffers and party gifts! You can even get a 3 pack with Santa, Snowman and Rudolph, for instant fun on Christmas morning (there is also an elf to add to the holiday collection)! And YES, you can buy packs of replacement balls!)
Miss Grace decided the poppers were too much fun, and we needed to share the Yeti, so one lucky BTHM reader is going to take him home for THEIR stocking!
