Big Toy Book’s Sweet Suite 2013 — The Biggest Night of Play

TOYS, TOYS, TOYS!!!

When I was in Chicago last month for BlogHer, I had the chance to attend The Big Toy Book’s Sweet Suite toy event hosted by Charlene (@CharChronicles), Joey (@JoeyFortman) and Laurie (@ToyinsiderMom), featuring the latest and greatest toys from a huge variety of toy companies. It was toy toy crazy! (Ok – I have listened to Teen Beach Movie too much this summer. For all of you parents who also have those songs stuck in your head, you will catch that reference. lol)

It is always exciting to see what new kids toys our favorite companies are coming out with — and get a head start on figuring out what we will be adding to our Christmas shopping lists.

With 44 companies showing off their latest toys, there was so much going on. Read on to get links to all of the companies’ Facebook pages, but here are a few of my favorites:

  • I loved the latest Razor products, especially their new Crazy Cart. My son would die for that super cool spin on a go cart. Insanely awesome.
  • LeapFrog is always a hit with our kids and my Olivia would love their new Leap Pad Ultra.
  • I brought home a collection of Fashion Angels products, including the fun Fashion Angels Tapeffeti and Sketch Portfolios. Olivia loves it all – a huge hit with her!
  • I am always impressed with HexBug – I love this innovative toy and bought HexBugs as stocking stuffers for my kids last year. My kids would sure love the setup HexBug had on display!

Shortly after I got home, this box of samples arrived at our door. Wow! Thanks so much to all the sponsors – it is great to get a closer look at some of the toys featured at Sweet Suite 2013. I will be wrapping a bunch of them up for Olivia’s birthday next month and I know she will be thrilled! And for the toys that don’t fit my kids’ age range, I will be gifting to friends or donating. Happy happy kids!
