​t's that time of year, everyone! The Holiday shopping season is upon us! (At least it is if you're like me and get an early start to avoid the mad rush of frazzled, last-minute shoppers in December!) 

For the 2016 Holiday season, I will be featuring tons of great gift ideas for babies, kids, men, women, pets, and even for the person who has everything. We all have some of those on our gift lists, don't we? There will even be loads and loads of chances to win many of the gifts I am featuring. How cool is that?! You can check out my 2016 Holiday Gift Guide at any time from now till Christmas. Make sure to check often, as it will be growing by the day! 

Today, I want to talk about TOYS! 

Yep. Toys are the one thing that seems to be on everyone's shopping list, and Hasbro has some absolutely incredible gift ideas for children of all ages. They offer the best toys for boys and girls, and even some fun, family games that can help you to connect with loved ones and enjoy the spirit of the season. 

The 2016–17 NHL season kicked off on October 12th, marking the 100th season of operation of the National Hockey League. 

Perfect time to face off with PLAYMOBIL’s NHL Hockey Arena.

Get ready to hit the ice with the interactive and imaginative play built into every PLAYMOBIL playset. With the four (included) NHL players, take the shot by using the player’s movable arms and hockey sticks or block the goal by using the joystick to maneuver the goalie from side to side! Perfect for fans of any NHL team, customize the rink with the included team stickers!

Skate into action with your own hockey match at the NHL Hockey Arena.  Each of the four NHL players feature a
movable arm and hockey stick for even more realistic game play.  Simply pull back the lever to swing the stick and fire the puck down the rink towards the opposing goal.  Use the goalie to defend against offensive plays by clipping the player to the goal and then using the joystick to maneuver the goalie from side to side for some game-saving blocks!

Thanks to the included team decals, kids can customize each player to represent their favorite NHL team.  Set
includes four NHL players (two per team), four hockey pucks, game play rules booklet,  player number decals, logo decals for all 30 NHL teams, score-keeping slide rule, and other game-tastic accessories.

When our PLAYMOBIL NHL Arena arrived, the kids couldn't wait to play with it. They don't know much about hockey, but this is a wonderful way for them to learn about the sport in a fun, hands-on way. 

Thankfully, Daddy is on vacation this week, so they've had tons of time to go head to head on the "ice". Sophie, my 6 year old, has taken a particular interest in beating her Daddy in a friendly game of hockey. After all, girls can rock it on the ice, too! 

We've all been having a blast playing hockey with the PLAYMOBIL NHL Arena. It's so neat to watch the kids, or the kids and their Daddy, shoot the pucks into the goals. Of course, seeing the kids smile, clap, and cheer when they score is the best part for me.

The best part for them?

Well, they get to learn the basics of NHL Hockey, and they get to spend one on one quality time with the biggest hero in their lives: Their Daddy. 

​It's really a win-win, if I do say so myself! 

If you've got Hockey fans on your gift list this year, I would definitely recommend checking out this great hockey arena from the folks at PLAYMOBIL. This is a wonderful way to bring the action of NHL Hockey right into your own homes, minus the injuries and brawls. It's a great way to bring sports fans of all ages together, too! 

The PLAYMOBIL NHL Hockey Arena sells for MSRP  $59.99, and can be found online and where toys are sold nationwide.
