Happy Sweet 16, Sweet Suite, and get ready for the holiday season with Holiday of Play and my shoppable images!
They did it again! As the bloggersphere went wild at Chelsea Piers, the sun set on the best content creator toy event of the year – #SweetSuite25
As always, The Toy Insider did not disappoint with their incredible Balloons Ink installations, including a balloon cake we could hide under and then pop out in the middle. It was a dream come true!
I also got to hold (with special gloves!) one of the hoverboards from Back to the Future, Part 2! It was one of the many cool movie props offered on view by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not.
I LOVED the new Magna-Tiles Rail Racers set (which turns your Magna-Tiles into a racing track)!
I also loved catching up with Nintendo – (missed you Cody!).
As always (in both Sweet Suite and Holiday of Play), I was happy to see my friends from Crayola, Squishmallow, 3Doodler, and Energizer.
And learn about new brands like the super fun 3D printed Wigglitz.
Or the super creative DoodleFace!
And the fun bracelet set from Jelly Bands.
Plus fun favorites like the new products from Sharpie and Elmer’s.
It’s always fun to see what characters – literally and figuratively – are walking around. This time, I was really happy to fan girl over both Care Bears and Dora, who will forever hold a special place in my heart.
It was also cool to see the big Monster Truck reveal partnership between Monster Jam and Ringling.
Plus I FINALLY got my own Strawberry Shortcake doll and Rainbow Brite Twink Sprite Plush! Thank you TLS Toys!
Additionally, I met Kat Maconie, author of the new book, What Kind of Shoes Does A Hippopotamus Choose?
Add in the 2025 Holiday of Play, and The Toy Insider hit it out of the park with their events this year. Thank you for helping me kick off my holiday shopping (in July) and launch my recommendations and gift guide!
See ya next year!
