Hasbro Toys: The Perfect Gift For Your Boy or Girl #HolidayGiftGuide

Star Wars command center

Tired of searching for the perfect gift for the children in your family? Carting around children is never easy, especially when you’re carting them around a toy store where they’ll get distracted every two seconds by the shiny new toys. So, how do we find that perfect gift; the one that they will never get bored of?

It was easy to buy a gift for my nephew Jaden – he’s obsessed with Star Wars, loves the movies [yes, even the prequels – kids aren’t as judgmental as us], loves the animated cartoons, and is easily enamored with anything with even the slightest connection to Star Wars.

I simply went on the Hasbro website, and got him the Hasbro Star Wars Command Star Destroyer set. For $49.99, I think I’ve gotten my money’s worth, since I’ve never seen Jaden so happy with a Christmas gift before. The gift is perfect for him – it comes with the Star Destroyer, a Command Controller to use on the remote-controlled Star Destroyer, and the Destroyer even shoots energy blasts. Plus, the set also includes figurines of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, 3 Rebel Soldiers, 3 Imperial Stormtroopers, and four energy blast balls.

In other words, it’s a PERFECT gift for a young boy that loves Star Wars. He’s already recreated the epic final battle at the end of ‘Return of the Jedi,’ which is easy to do considering he has the Star Destroyer, Vader and Luke, and he has both rebels – complete with Stormtroopers. Plus, if you want to add to the set, you can easily buy separate figures of Emperor Palpatine, Han Solo, Leia, and other main Star Wars characters.

Another big plus point is that this set manages to keep the kids engaged for hours at a time, as opposed to a quick distraction. Setting up the battle, involving others, going through the motions – all of that can take time, and it’s great to keep the kids active and preoccupied. Here’s a link to the Hasbro Star Wars Command Star Destroyer set.

My little pony friendship rainbow kingdom

Now, we’ve talked about a toy for a young boy, although that could easily serve as a toy for a Star Wars-loving young girl. But for my granddaughter Ava, I bought her Hasbro’s Princess Twilight Sparkle’s Friendship Rainbow Kingdom Talk. She loves My Little Pony, and this was an easy gift choice as well. The Princess Castle Playset also serves as a great distraction for Ava, considering all the fun little additions. There’s a special key and a secret star tower key that can unlock fun new accessories and hiding spots around the castle, and the set comes with a shiny new neon-rainbow Princess Twilight Sparkle Pony.

The playset also comes with [in addition to the pony] a slide car, a skirt, 4 shoes, a tiara, bracelet, hangar, instructions, a key, a book, a closet and a vanity. In other words, perfect playtime for a small child, especially one who loves ponies and My Little Pony. You can buy the set at this Hasbro link.

I’ve bookmarked Hasbro to use in the future for any and all gifts for my granddaughter and nephew. It guarantees a gift they will love, the prices are reasonable, and they have special discounts for holiday season. Why bother wasting time and dragging the kids to the store, when I can just buy a gift with one click online?

Easy and simple.
