Movie Night with FLIPZ

For many families cooler winter weather leads to more indoor activities. This may include snuggling up and watching movies. FLIPZ candy coated pretzels wants to make your movie night award worthy. FLIPZ makes a great addition to your movie night snack list.


Through Smiley 360 I was recently given several coupons to try FLIPZ chocolate pretzels. I had a hard time finding FLIPZ in my area, but finally after searching 4 stores I finally found them. I am so glad I did they are great.



What I like about FLIPZ.

• The thick chocolate coating. They don't skip on the chocolate.
• The chocolate stays on the pretzels, it doesn't come off on you hands. This is great so you don't have to wash your fingers off after every bite.
• The white fudge pretzels are great. I usually don't care for white chocolate, but this candy coating is good. It's not sickly sweet as I find so many white chocolates are.
• The milk chocolate variety is great as well. Chocolate - Enough said. 

To try out FLIPZ I put together a simple mix - FLIPZ milk chocolate and white fudge pretzels, peanuts, and raisins. Nothing hard, but yummy. The FLIPZ was a great change from little candies and pretzel sticks in my traditional snack mix.

We didn't have the time to watch a full length movie with our FLIPZ mix. However, I was able to get the third Night at the Museum movie from our library the other day so this will likely be the movie we watch while we enjoy more of our FLIPZ candy coated pretzels. Maybe I can get creative and use FLIPZ in a new way as well.







FLIPZ were a unique treat which my whole family enjoyed. The only thing I was disappointed about was not being able to find the limited edition snowflake FLIPZ varieties.

Funnybone Toys Brings Ancient Game to Life

I would like to introduce you to a great game from Funnybone Toys.

Knucklebones was an ancient game similar to jacks originally played with small ankle bones of sheep. Funnybone Toys has taken that idea and made it new in the game of Funny Bones.

 The cute, almost retro game box. I think this box alone is pretty cool. 

 The game comes with 5 'bone' pieces, an instruction book, storage bag, and beaded key chain which the pieces can be put on between play times. ( I don't care for those bead chains, so we just store the pieces in their box).

 The Funny Bones game mat. 

 Now that you have seen the game, you may be asking "So what do I do with these pieces?" Well, it's pretty simple. Game play involves holding the plastic 'bone' pieces in your hand, tossing them in the air, and trying to catch as many as you can before they hit the playing mat. The trick is it is much easier to explain what to do than actually do it. The first time my son played with Funny Bones, he caught one or two pieces each time. It took a while before he was able catch 3 or 4 pieces each time and do it consistently. The Funny Bones game and mat sell for $29.99.

 My 14 year old daughter and 11 year old son play this for the longest time. They have fun playing together as well as individually with Funny Bones. They had fun just tossing and catching them, but they also made of their own scoring system to keep track of how many they caught over multiple tosses. They assigned different point values based on if they caught the pieces or if they landed inside or outside of the circle or on a colored part of the mat. I also enjoyed playing Funny Bones with them. I think Funny Bones is pretty cool. We had read about the ancient game of knucklebones during a study of ancient Greece. I thought it sounded like fun, but wasn't overly enthusiastic about about making the playing pieces out of clay as an activity book suggested. So Funny Bones would be a great alternative to making your own pieces.


 I like many things about Funny Bones. I think my favorite part of the game is how it is so open ended and gives the player the opportunity to make their own game. It is refreshing to see a new recreational item which is fun and doesn't require batteries or electricity. I also love the bright colors of the pieces. The small size of the box is great for small storage areas, it also makes the game very portable. So, if you are looking for a unique gift check out Funny Bones and the whole line of fabulously unique, award winning games and stationery products from Funnybone Toys.
