In continuation with last week’s series of posts about games for girls (particularly tween girls), today’s post is about Bling Dominoes Pink. 
Not only does Bling Dominoes Pink come in a pink leatherette carrying case, but each domino is decorated with pink jewels!  The classic game of Dominoes is one of strategy that really makes players think.  Bling Dominoes Pink is recommended for ages 7-12, but I’m certain older girls would love it, too!
Bling Dominoes Pink retails for just $12.99 from Toys ‘R Us and seems like a great gift!

So, could $1000 gift certificate come in handy for Christmas or what?! I should think so.

So, here in the U.S., we are in full swing of the commercialization of the holidays. I do think there were decorations and such displayed for sale before we even managed to get the yard sprinklers put away and start looking for our Halloween costumes.
I have to admit, one of my LEAST favorite attempts at commercializing it all has been a TV ad for Toys R Us. In one scene, the kids are begging mom to read them a bedtime story . In the next scene, they are all snuggled up in bed and mom is reading …read more

Here’s your chance to get a Wii for free from Toys R Us. The toy giant is taking advantage of the upcoming release of the new Wii from Nintendo and of the current fame of the Deal or No Deal game to launch a contest in which shoppers can try to win a Wii.
Video games blogger Jonic Linley said of the Wii, “Brill.” (That’s British for brilliant for those on this side of the pond. )
