Crystal Growing Unicorn Kit Giveaway!

Crafts can be a lot of fun and also relaxing to do, they help bring out your creativity, will teach you new things and will help you create happy memories. I am always up for gifting my kids new craft kits which is why I love being a Giveaway Guru with Horizon Group USA because I get to review kits but also give kits away as well! This time around I am sharing the Crystal-growing unicorn with all of you. 

This fun kit includes everything you need to make a one of a kind unicorn covered in crystals. It has a unicorn figure, alum powder, coloring dye, paints, a paint tray, a brush, glitter and a wooden stick along with a container for when you are soaking your figure. 

The steps are easy to follow, you will need to help assist your child with the first part of this process as it requires boiling a pot of water in order to allow the alum powder to work so your crystals can grow. In total the process takes about a day because the unicorn will need to soak in the solution over night then will need some drying time before you are able to paint it and add glitter. 

The figure is a pretty decent size, and you never know how the crystals might grow so each unicorn will look unique from the others. I think this is a fun way to combine a fun interest in a love for unicorns with a fun little science experience. These kits can be purchased online from Amazon or you can buy them in store in shops like Walmart, Target and more along side their other crafting kits all at affordable prices.

Having a dig with Excavating Adventures!

 

My son always enjoys doing dig kits whether they have fossils, rocks, toys or something else he loves getting his hands dirty and finding a surprise inside. When I found Excavating Adventures, I knew it was a brand my son was going to love and I was right! They have a monthly subscription where you can dig through a small kit and figure out which rocks you've just added to your collection. Kits are $19.99 a month, however the monthly cost lowers if you subscribe for six or twelve months at a time, and they are also offering a limited time offer of $10 off your first month's box using code Hello10. 

We were gifted a one-month subscription to check out for ourselves to write about here on my blog. When the box first arrived, we weren't entirely sure how many rocks would be in the kit as the actual "dig" portion of it is in a small tin container. That container packs a big punch though and had a surprising amount of small and medium sized stones to collect.

The kit can with some baggies, little glue dots, a glass bottle, and a small empty box with some stuffing so you could select which way you'd like to store or display the stones and gems you received in the pack. My son went with the small white box for the larger stones and the little glass jar for everything that was small and we didn't want to lose. 

Also included are collectable trading cards, a small hammer, some stickers and even a small surprise! We received a cute pink frog as our surprise. Everything was packaged nicely and arrived in one piece. My son had a great time digging out a hole in the center of the dig piece and then working his way our towards the outside. Kits like this can be a little messy so I always advise to do them outside.

Along with a monthly subscription box they also have a ton of different options on their website available for purchase that isn't a monthly box, I'd personally love to have one of their seashell themed dig kit.

October/November Creepy Crate!

 

Let me start by saying yes it is December and I am posting about the October/November Creepy Crate! My order for the crate was put in a little late and didn't arrive until just before Thanksgiving, however it is here now so I am sharing it with all of you.

If you aren't aware of what Creepy Crate is, it is a True Crime and Horror themed subscription box that sends out shipments bi-monthly. Ever crate has a guaranteed hard or soft cover box in it along with an Ebook plus 4-5 physical products that can range from clothing to houseware. Many of the products included in the crates are Creepy Crate Exclusive items meaning you can't purchase them anywhere else. A single box can be purchased for $39.99 which you can order one at a time or prepay for your subscription through out the year, at the moment they are offering a free box with an annual subscription so you get seven crates for the price of six.

What kind of spooky things are lurking in my latest Creepy Crate? Let's see;

The book in this crate is "My Heart is a Chainsaw" by Stephen Graham Jones. It both sounds and looks like an interesting read, the title is slightly cheesy in that old school horror movie way, but I love it. The Ebook included is called "Horror Show".

Full Moon Oven Mutt - I was actually in need of a new oven mitt after my husband accidently burned one of ours while cooking on the grill one night. When I went to add this to the kitchen I snuck up behind my husband and said "Sorry I haven't shaved in a few days" then went to grab his arm with the mitt, I of course was called a goob, we laughed and went on with our night. The mitt seems pretty sturdy, not one of those flimsy mitts that feel like you'll still end up burning your hand with or without it. 

Love's Back From the Dead coaster Set - This coaster set is so cute and fits right in with a lot of the décor we already have in our home. The coasters are squishy and almost feel like a mouse pad which will help them retain any moisture that is lurking on your glass.

"I'm a sucker for red!" travel wine tumbler - The size of this glass is great and I like the lid that it comes with, makes it harder to spill if you decide to take this glass outside.

Cold as the grave ice tray - This is super cute, I was pretty excited when I opened the box and spotted this ice tray. It is shaped like little ghosts which adds a bit of ghoulishness to every glass, or you can even use the mold to make ghost shaped chocolates for a treat/ hot coco.

A Pumpkin shaped jar opener - I've used something similar once before and it was actually pretty helpful so I am looking forward to using this one as well. 

All of the items included in the crate this time around are all pretty useful and every single one of them this month is a Creepy Crate exclusive (aside from the books of course) which is awesome. I think these crates are perfect for anyone who loves horror movies, creature features, etc. there is something for everyone to love in these boxes and even if you end up with an item or two you don't like (happens with most subscriptions) you can always gift the item to someone who will love it.

If you were to received a box from their subscription line, what is something you would hope to find inside?
