This post shares our top holiday gift guide ideas.
Can you believe it’s almost Christmas!? December has truly flown by and truth be told I’m not even close to being done shopping. With the cost of everything else days making sure I’m investing my hard earned money into toys, games, and electronics is incredibly important. So, here is my list of must-have items this holiday season.
1. Connect 4 Frenzy

Everyone plays at once in the Connect 4 Frenzy game, an exhilarating, fast take on the original Connect 4 board game! Instead of dropping discs, players go for 4 in a row by bouncing them off the table and into spots on the grid. If a team’s disc lands in an opponent’s spot, they get to steal it! In this unpredictable game, the lead can change within seconds, as players sink discs, swipe spots, and sabotage opponents.
