I've been working on my Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for 2021, so I thought I'd highlight some of the fun products I'm going to share with you in advance. These items are great gift ideas, especially for tweens, and they're fun boredom busters for any time of year. All of the products were sent to me from a New Jersey based company called We Cool Toys (you might recognize their lines: Activity Kings, Compound Kings, iLY or Crazy Cleanz, just to name a few). I love to support my Jersey peeps!
Disclosure: These products were sent to me as samples but that in no way influenced my opinion (I tell it like it is, people!). This post contains affiliate links to Amazon.

Magic Trace Glow to Show Studio & Magic Trace Light to Draw
The Magic Trace Glow to Show Studio is one of my new favorite things! Available soon from Activity Kings, Magic Trace is a unique tracing and art activity kit that uses a "light to draw" technology. Magic Trace and Magic Trace Jr. features light up fun, and enables kids to trace images with a "magic trace light" and "art reveal" coloring pages. I think it would be especially fun on a rainy or gloomy day. Recommended for ages 6 and up, available soon!
Mix & Match Tie-Dye Hairwear
This kit from Activity Kings' iLY line combines two of my favorite things- tie-dye and hair wear! Kids can create personalized hair bands and more with over 30 accessories to customize. Mix and Match Tie-Dye Headwear is available on Amazon and recommended for ages 4 and up.
Decorate Your Own Hydro Bottle
I actually love this little kit for myself! Great for teens, tweens or anyone in between, this kit comes with over 60 stickers and markers to customize your included BPA free hydro bottle. Color the included stickers and place them anywhere you want on the bottle (or use the stickers that are already colored in). The kit comes with a bottle, stickers, and two design markers (I used additional permanent markers of my own to color the stickers, too). Makes a great gift, party favor or accessory! Recommended for ages 6 and up. Available on Amazon
Crazy Cleanz 20 Second Soaps and Hand Sanitizers
I'm a sucker for cute hand sanitizers!! I carry them everywhere anyway, so I love the Crazy Cleanz line of fruit scented sanitizers and hand pump sanitizers (the one I tried was eucalyptus scented - very unique!). The little hand sanitizers are perfect for backpacks or lunch boxes, too.
Crazy Cleanz 20 Second Soaps are so cool. They're designed for one time use and to encourage kids to keep their hands clean (and have fun while doing it). But what I really think these are perfect for is if you need to wash your hands on the go. All you need is some bottled water and one of these little soaps- rinse under water and you've got instant clean without needed to set foot in a public bathroom. Great for playgrounds and parks and those places where a sink and regular soap might not be on hand. Available on Amazon.

Remember to shop early for your toys and collectibles this year, and stay tuned for my holiday gift guide!
