Hello!

It’s been a busy week this week lots of new products and a new Prime Minister!

The weather is going to be great this weekend, which I’m sure means a lot of you will be heading into the garden or down to the local park. If that is the case then this new product is just for you!!

Introducing the Wicked Wedge available in Blue and Pink and retailing at £14.95 at Prezzybox.com this is the must have accessory this summer. This fab new product  just seems to solve so many problems. It is so versatile that it can be used for both indoor and outdoor use. The great thing about the Wicked Wedge is that it comes flat packed the size of a small book, it is very light and easy to inflate this making it a must have accessory for trips to the beach, camping, music festivals and picnics.

If you’re heading down the park Prezzybox have launched a new range of outdoor toys including the Zyclone Zing Ring Blaster which was featured on The Gadget Show earlier this month in their Sports Day Challenge.

Well that’s all for now but there are plenty more products being added to Prezzybox.com this week, so I will be back shortly.

Bee Good!

Hi!

A treat has arrived at Prezzybox for anybody with a sweetooth in the form of the Giant Chupa Chups Lolly. The big brother to the much loved smaller chupa chups, this is sure to keep you busy. Mind you, I wouldn’t eat it all at once as that would be some serious sugar high!

If you fancy treating yourself or want to pretend you are the starring role of Alice in Wonderland when she shrinks to the size of a bee like me, then this is the perfect indulgence.

   Have a great weekend,

   Brian

Greetings!

As Louis Armstrong once said, ‘What a wonderful world’! We live in a great place but the earth is in trouble and we all need to do our part to help. I know, it’s easier said than done, especially with Christmas coming and bringing with it a wealth of shiny new unrecycleable plastic toys. Well never fear, Prezzybox have announced a new range of Eco-Friendly Sprig toys! You could win one too!

All of the Sprig toys are made from Sprigwood. Sprigwood is a durable, child-safe, bio-composite material made from bits of reclaimed wood and recycled plastic. Sprigwood is a highly versatile, green building material with a strong future in toy and furniture manufacturing.

No decorative paint is needed on the assembly line because we dye Sprigwood during the production process. Sprig Toys uses safe pigments, keeping our toys free of soluble heavy metals, phthalates or endocrine disruptors.

There are 3 new Sprig playsets on the Prezzybox site;

The Dolphin Set features a big, blue boat, little, blue dingy, 2 dolphins and an explorer.

The Dino Set contains a rugged exploration vehicle, an explorer and 2 grinning dinosaurs.

The Sand Truck set features a Truck, a Rake, a Shovel, a Bucket, a Dune Bug Character and a packet of Wildflower seeds to plant in your own garden!

All of these play sets are durable, safe and great fun. They promote creative play as well as teaching children about recycling and nature.

We’re giving away one of the Dino sets and one of the Dolphin sets in our Facebook competition this month.

To be in with a chance to win, simply draw a picture of a Dinosaur or a Dolphin. It can be done on the computer, or drawn on a piece of paper, it doesn’t matter how how or where you draw. To enter, either upload your picture to our facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/prezzybox) or send it to us on Twitter!

We’ll be picking the lucky winners at the end of the month, so get entering!

Bee Happy, Bee Green!

Hey There Prezzybox Army!

Well, the acolades keep on coming. The good ASTRA (American Speciality Toy Retailing Association) folks across the pond have recognised our very own Bananagrams as the best Toy 2009 for 8+ year game-play!

Bananagrams is a great game and the rules are pretty straight forward. Depending on how many players you have, put all the tiles face down and take a certain number of letter for yourself from the bunch. One player shouts ‘Split’ and everyone turns their tiles over. Then its up to you to try and connect all your letter into intersecting words. You can re-arrange them as many times as you like until you have used all your tiles. Then you shout ‘Peel’. This means all players have to take one more tile from the centre bunch.  This continues until all the tiles are gone. The player to connect the last tile is the winner.  If you are the lucky one you shout ‘Bananas’ and the game is over… But be careful, a single spelling mistake will make you a ‘Rotten Banana!’

So get your hands on the ASTRA Best Toy for 8+ years Gameplay now. Bananagrams is available from Prezzybox for just £14.95

Bee Bananas!

This is one tasty edition to the Prezzybox store!

Does anyone remember that squishy, fun, modelling dough from your childhood? Of course you do, and one of the things you remember most about that dough, I’m sure, was that nasty salty taste.

Don’t deny it, we’ve all tried a piece!

Anyway, thanks to this fantastic Yummy Dough, that gross salty dough is a thing of the past.

This stuff was developed by a pair of children who, like you, didn’t like the taste of regular modeling dough. They spent hours in the kitchen and ended up with this brilliant stuff.

Mixing the dough is easy (although it does feel a little like a science experiment) just fill up the syringe with water and add it to the mixture, stir it up and you’ve got a ball of Yummy Dough ready to play.

When you have your dough balls ready, it’s time to play. You could make flowers, boats, cars, trees, people, pets, whatever you want with your Yummy Dough. Your imagination is the only limit. When you’ve made your masterpiece, it’s baking time!

Yummy Dough needs to be baked in the oven, and once it’s ready, it’s time to eat your creations!

Yummy Dough is lovely and sweet, but before you eat it, it’s important to take a picture of your masterpieces as there’s an online community that would love to see your Yummy Dough Models!

Greetings!

I’d like you all to say ‘Hello Kitty’ to Hello Kitty! She’s making her very first appearance over at Prezzybox HQ, and everyone has fallen head over heels for her beautiful new gifts.

First up is the Kitty herself

at 27cm tall, this soft Hello Kitty plush is the perfect size for cuddles and is melting the hearts of everyone in the office (even the blokes admit she’s cute)

The Mini plushes are almost too cute for words. The perfect size to sit on your desk, these little Kitties will bring a smile to your face anytime.

The next Hello Kitty is straight out of Japan and ready to take to the streets of the UK

This adorable fluffy handbag has been wrenched from the arms of the deliciously stylish Harajuku girls and brought straight to you. The embodiment of Hello Kitty kitsch charm, this handbag is perfect for anyone who wants to wear their fluffy pink heart on their sleeve.

Lastly, when it’s time for bed, let Hello Kitty hand you your pyjamas. This adorable pyjama case keeps your PJs safe and clean until it’s time for bed.

Hey There!

Let me introduce you to Facebank, a friendly, creepy, unbelievably cool way of saving your money.

The Facebank is a piggy bank with a difference. Facebanks, as their name would suggest, have a face with eyes, nostrils and a hungry, coin-chewing mouth. Motion sensors in their beady eyes anticipate their next meal.  When you feed them, they chew up the coin quite realistically before depositing it into their ‘bank’

The Facebank has the people at Prezzybox a little divided, some are quite freaked out by its realistic coin-chewing action and strange eyes, but others think it’s adorable. Either way, we’re all fascinated and want one ourselves! Since their introduction in Japan, the Facebank has become really popular with hundreds of YouTube videos dedicated to the lovably creepy little banks.

Whether you find this creepy or loveable, the Facebank makes an impression on everyone. Not only does Facebank make a great talking point, but your friends and family will be lining up to feed it their coins. Fun for them and more money for you, brilliant!
So get yourself one of these lifelike Facebanks now, available in Sakura Pink and Blue Dot ready to freak out your friends!
