  • Last Minute Gift Idea-Taylor Swift Dolls from Jakks Pacific

    Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

    I am such a huge fan of JAKKS Pacific, because they make my daughter’s absolute favorite toys in the whole world – Puppy in My Pocket & Friends™ pets. Kaitlyn was beside herself the other day when a box arrived from JAKKS, with a Puppy in My Pocket, Kitty in my Pocket, and Jungle in my Pocket set. I have a Playmobil advent calendar on my desk that comes with little animals, and the Puppy in My Pocket & Friends animals have become part of the advent calendar scene. She can spend an hour sitting there playing with them all, it’s so cute. I highly recommend any of the “in My Pocket” sets as a terrific stocking stuffer or gift!

    JAKKS Pacific also manufactures and licenses products for older kids, including a very popular doll this year based on singer Taylor Swift. Although I haven’t reviewed the dolls personally, I promised Janis at Jakks that I would spread the word about the dolls starting with a post here, I’m sure there must be someone reading Table for Five who has a Taylor Swift fan on their holiday shopping list!

    There are two dolls available now – the Taylor Swift Performance doll for $19.99, and the Taylor Swift Fashion doll for $14.99. The “You Belong To Me” Performance doll includes an outfit featured in the music video and plays about 30 seconds of the song. I’d suggest calling ahead to Walmart to make sure they have the doll in stock.

    The Taylor Swift Fashion Doll from Jakks will each be wearing an outfit based on a real outfit Taylor wore to an awards show, concert performance or TV appearance. The current doll is wearing a fitted black top, black and white ruffled skirt, fishnet stockings, and thigh-high black boots. According to the Jakks site, the Fashion dolls also include a second outfit in the package.

    edited to add: The doll shown above in the black outfit will not be available until SPRING. That was my mistake. Shown below is the Taylor Swift Sundress Medley Fashion Collection doll, which is available now:

    So, in addition to the dolls I showed you here, new Taylor Swift Singing and Fashion Dolls are expected to be available at all major retailers nationwide in Spring 2010.  I hope this helps some of you with your last-minute holiday shopping!

  • Today on Table for Five- it’s DVDPalooza!

    Saturday, April 18th, 2009

    Okay, that title might not make any sense. But here’s the thing- I’ve been, like, paying attention to my family and whatever, which is great, but I am so far behind on reviews that it’s starting to become this huge weight on my shoulders. And that’s not what blogging and reviewing products is supposed to be. It’s supposed to be FUN.

    The fact is, I get excited when someone offers me something new to review, and I say yes to way too many things, and never keep track of how much I’ve said yes to. Then all of a sudden my email inboxes are filled up with polite messages reminding me of things I should have reviewed weeks before, and I sit here mentally berating myself for not being better organized in the first place.

    I don’t actually know how I’m going to get caught up completely, but one thing I am going to do is get all the DVD reviews posted. So, I hope you wanted to know what I thought of some of the newest DVD releases, because today, that is what you are going to get. Enjoy! :)
