When people think of the online store called Calendars.com many people think that they just carry calendars! Well, today I am here to tell you all about some of the other items that they sell. With the holidays just around the corner a shopping trip 

Thomas & Friends: Trackmaster Motorized Railway Castle Quest Set

Thomas & Friends: Trackmaster Motorized Railway Castle Quest Set

Today we have another holiday gift guide selection and this Thomas & Friends: Trackmaster Motorized Railway ~ Castle Quest Set is from Fisher-Price. This Thomas the Tank Engine play set would make the perfect holiday gift for any little boy on your holiday gift-giving list.

The Story: Thomas is on a quest for the missing king’s crown! Can he navigate the crumbling castle grounds and emerge victorious with the prize? Thomas must get through five close calls before he can succeed. Use the crane to swing the missing track in place. Thomas powers along as walls collapse around him. Chug him through the castle before the gate drops down. Can you send him over the abandoned mine safely and help him recover the king’s crown?

Thomas & Friends: Trackmaster Motorized Railway Castle Quest Set

This train set is made for ages 3 years and up. There are small pieces that can pose a choking hazard so make sure you stay within the recommended age restrictions. The set requires 1 AA battery that you will need to provide and adult assembly is required.

The Thomas & Friends Castle Quest Set comes with everything your child needs for a fun time including: the train track pieces, the castle, the crane, a cargo car, the king’s crown, bridge pieces, etc. Seriously you don’t need to supply anything but the one required battery to make the train move.

Hubby sat down and had the entire train & castle set assembled in about 15 minutes time (he is kind of slow you know!). Once he was done assembling it he showed my 4 1/2 year old grand daughter and 6 1/2 year old god son how to play with it. He showed them how the crane worked, the collapsible bridge walls and how Thomas drops down through the castle and comes out the other end.

The kids then sat and played with this entire set on day one for over 2 1/2 hours nonstop! They had a blast with this play set and the following weekend when they came over for a play visit…they had it out on my family room floor playing with it again. It has become a big hit in this household!

The play set is extremely well-made and they thought of everything! It definitely lives up to the quality standards that you expect from Fisher-Price! Once the kids are done playing with it just take it apart and place it back into the storage box for the next time.

You can find this play set right now at Fisher-Price.com for the suggested retail price of only $60.00 and I feel it is well worth that price. It will give your children hours upon hours of fun and should last them a very long time. A great toy for anyone who loves Thomas the Tank Engine!

PlayMG All in One Mobile Android Entertainment System

I am a gamer. I love video games, PC games, even games on my phone. Sometimes, when I am waiting for someone or something somewhere, or even on my down time, I will play games on my phone. They are there, readily available, and usually free or cheap, depending on the type of phone you may have. Not only am I a gamer, but also a ‘techie’. I love anything technological, and I’m an avid Android advocate. So when I received a PlayMG Android device to review, I was extremely excited. I also got a pre-paid card for $10. I couldn’t decide what app to get first!

The only issue with playing games on my smartphone is that my battery barely lasts a couple of hours from all the constant use. Now, with the PlayMG All in One Mobile Android Entertainment System, I have a new device dedicated to my own entertainment. It is a sleek, pocket-sized gaming device with a good-sized 4-inch touch screen.

This playing device has all the great common games and well known like Candy Crush, Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, etc. It has awesome apps like Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, and much more!

With the MG I can upload my own music, read a Google Play book, and download almost any app (over 60,000+ from Google Play!), especially since it has the latest version of the Android system. Also, the MG is free to use off of any Wi-Fi, which also helps my internet costs on my smartphone.

Although it is a device meant for younger people, such as kids and teens, I think even people my age (21 yrs) or older may like it too. My nephew (14 yrs) seems to like it quite a bit. His mother likes it too! She’s used to him borrowing her phone also, draining her battery and causing extra charges on her bill for an app or music that he downloads. I may be 21 years old, but I feel giddiness with this product that I was not able to get in my teenage years. Especially since I was never lucky enough to get an iPod, or even a basic cell phone until I was able to pay for it myself!

The founders of this company, are all experts in technology, social, and gaming. As parents too, they wanted to redesign how kids and parents enjoy and manage all the choices that technology, entertainment, and design can bring to a new generation. Truth is, big companies design mostly for adults — hoping that young people will adapt. They dedicated themselves to innovating devices and systems that are at the top of their class in design, power, and choice for young people. They like to think that they are taking “Play” and putting it back where it belongs…. into the right people’s hands.

In my opinion, this is a great product, and it has something for anyone, no matter what age. It is wonderful for young people and this is where the adults can adapt! The idea of being able to control the charges with the Family Collaboration System so kids enjoy while parents “Trust, but verify” is a great feature.

With all the apps and features, and an interchangeable SD memory card, it is comparable to the iPod touch, but at a great value. This way, it can be almost half the price depending on the memory size! With the holidays coming up, I think it would be a fantastic gift to anyone, at such a great value! It is perfect for anyone that doesn’t want to waste battery and money on games/apps, whether it’s for you or your child. This is a great product for the holidays for a teen, to be watchful about spending, without surprise purchases.

Okay, so maybe I’ll gift it to the nephew. He AND his mom will thank me. Since he always was on either her phone or mine to play games, I’ll just make sure that I remind him to return the favor with his new and very cool PlayMG every once in a while!Ruby Tag
