I purchased the AmaziPro8 Elsa and Anna 18 Piece Beauty Set with Bonus Hair Pins for my Frozen obsessed daughter. The great quality exceeded my expectations with the little details that would make any young girl happy. I received a nice product box containing the following and I have included pictures for reference:

*2 Elsa Hair Clips
*Anna and Elsa Bracelet
*Anna and Elsa Necklace
*Pink Anna Barrette
*Purple Anna and Elsa Barrette
*Blue Olaf Barrette
*6 Soft Terry Cloth Hair Ties in Multiple Frozen Themed Colors (2 with either Anna or Elsa on a plastic clip)
*7 Elastic Hair Ties in a Variety of Frozen Themed Colors (3 with Frozen Designs)
*3 Downloadable Coloring Books
*2 Downloadable Origami Books

My daughter was very excited to get her gift and opened it right away. The hair clips and barrettes work perfectly in her medium thick hair and she's put them in her baby sister's soft fine hair and they've held just as well. Each piece is well made and is strong enough to handle children playing them.

The detail on the hair clips is beautiful! The bonus clips are identical and made with a shiny fabric that makes them glisten in the light. The barrettes are covered in detail with no area without a snowflake. Each are adorned with the favorite Frozen characters including the most popular... Elsa, Anna and Olaf.

Both the necklace and bracelet are accented with a matching Anna and Elsa heart-shaped charm. The Frozen color scheme continues with multiple pink, purple and blue beads that are threaded with elastic, giving leway in size from tiny to young girl sized wrists and necks.

The multiple hair ties come in 2 different types... There are 6 soft, stretchy, terry fabric ties in pink, dark purple, hot pink, classic purple, light purple with a flower shaped Anna charm and light blue with a flower shaped Elsa charm. They are perfect for thin hair, or piggy tails.

The other hair ties are classically styled with the rubber band covered in matetial that won't pull hair, making them great for tender-headed children. I received 7 of those in hot pink, blue, light blue, dark purple, light blue with pink snowflakes, light pink with purple snowflakes and hot pink with light and dark blue Frozen themed accents.

The 3 coloring books and 2 origami books were sent quickly after my order to my email. I can now print out a variety of characters and scenes from the movie whenever I want for my daughter to color. The origami is fun and varies in difficulty, so both young and older children will find something that will keep them challenged and entertained.

All things considered, I couldn't be more pleased with the overall quality, durability, function, style, detail and pure enjoyment that the Disney Frozen Beauty Set provides. Disclaimer: I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. Regardless, I'm very happy with my purchase and would happily purchase again.

The Cotton Candy Vintage Inspired Design Wooden Baby Blocks have exceeded my high expectations. They are made from sustainable, durable hardwood with non-toxic inks that meet both UK and USA standards, so I know my little one's are safe from lead and other potentially harmful substances. I received a set of 16 beautifully crafted blocks which include:
*39 Letters (some are doubles)
*10 Numbers (0-9)
*47 Basic Illustrated Words
*Wooden Storage Container

The blocks are detailed with a classic, vintage design that reminds me of those my grandmother kept for me to play with as a child. There is not one area of any individual block lacking that amazing detail. The letters and numbers have contrasting colors that make them stand out and the basic learning words are paired with a matching image to help my children learn while they are having fun... For instance, the word "Pony" has a playful baby horse playing in a field of flowers with butterflies and "Airplane" has an image of a vintage plane flying through the clouds. Once again I can't help but mention the exquisite detail! I have included pictures for reference, but photos cannot capture the sheer beauty of the set.

My 1 year old daughter and 4 year old son were so excited to see their new blocks. They began playing with them right away and haven't stopped since. It's amazing that with all their toys, most electronical, or requiring batteries, that the classic blocks are their favorite. They even enjoy playing together, a rarity and I love seeing my son help his baby sister learn how to stack them. When they are done playing, the blocks can be conveniently stored in the quality wooden box they arrived in.

These are definitely heirloom quality and after numerous throws and banging them together, the blocks are flawless and just as perfect as the day they arrived. I look forward to many enjoyable years playing with the Cotton Candy Vintage Wooden Blocks and I expect them to be here when I have grandchildren... Hopefully I can pass down the very special memories I have for generations to come.

I couldn't be more pleased with the overall quality, durability, vintage style, amazing detail and pure enjoyment that the blocks bring to my children and I. This has been one of the best purchases I have made and an investment in fun for many, many years to come. I look forward to other fun toys from this company who places quality, safety and value above anything else.
