A Glitzi and Glimmery Fun Holiday Gift for Kids


There is definitely something about being able to craft my own toy from beginning to end that makes it extra fun and appealing.
For a child to know how her/his toy was put together, step-by-step, is not only teaching them dexterity and technique but also patience! And we all know how important that particular characteristic is.

I was recently introduced to a new line of toys that offer all of this -- Glitzi Globes, Orbeez and Blingles.

My daughter was so excited to try these out as she's a very hands-on girl and loves putting things together.
It was a fun evening of Glitzing, Glimmering and Foot Spa-ing (with Orbeez Foot Spa!).




We had such a blast! Not only was it fun, but it was really easy to use and at the same time, you're really getting into it doing everything piece by piece. 
The glitter part was admittedly the best part for me! Me and Glitter = Always a party!
I also happen to have a love for snow globes. They are just so whimsical!
Every time I shake a snow globe and see the snow flutter around, one of my favourite songs of all time plays in my head, Ice Dance from Danny Elfman. (Yes leave it to me to get a little dramatic...)

Glitzi Globes: Make your very own mini glitter globes- Glitzi Globes are the cutest, collectible DIY snow globes around! Create your own to pop, swap, share and wear!

The super easy-to-use Glitzi Globes Showcase allows you to create your very own mini glitter globes in just minutes! Simply add water, fill and shake! You can store and display your fabulous collection on the beautiful Showcase and even create a mega spinning carrousel globe!

Orbeez: Orbeez are super-absorbent polymers (several smaller molecules joined together) that can grow to more than 100 times their volume when you add water (the water gets absorbed into the areas between the molecules). The technology was first invented for agricultural purposes in the 1960s- for irrigating crops. Today, these polymers are used in diapers (as we know) to help prevent leaks, in food packaging to absorb excess water, and in floral vases to hydrate cut flowers.

Orbeez are non-toxic (but obviously be aware of the choking hazards of small pieces).
The Orbeez Soothing Spa is a great way to give your hands and feet a treat in the soothing softness of Orbeez. The cascading colourful Orbeez waterfall, scent, and ambient lighting bring spa relaxation to a new level of fun!

Blingles, Glitzi Globes, and Orbeez are all available at:
  • Toys R Us
  • Walmart
  • Target
  • Sears
  • London drugs
  • Home hardware
  • Canada Tire
  • Loblaws


These would surely make a great gift idea for the Holidays for a little girl (or boy!).
