Toys Games & Hobbies

  May 4th  commemorates a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. On Earth it is when fans around the world celebrate all thing Star Wars.   This is your time to connect with your inner Jedi and conquer the evil dark side. You’ll need a few things to help you “use the Force.”   May the fourth be with you.    

Let’s take a look at board games that you can play with your friends and family this holiday season, that take some chances and do things a bit differently!

 Dads come in all shapes and sizes, and while it’s assumptive to say that every dad loves tech it’s true for the vast majority of ‘em. Finding the right gift for the techie dad in your life can be challenging; matching their personality to emerging technology can be tough! To help make your father’s day a little easier this year I’ve got a whole host of varied father’s day gifts that all have a techie angle. Let’s take a rip through together and see if we can find something that fits.

One of my favourite things about Father’s Day is how it lets me be a kid again. When my kids were younger, this often meant building a LEGO kit together. Now that they’re older and into high tech toys like drones, robotic kits and R/C vehicles, Father’s Day means I get to relive being a kid while playing with gear I find genuinely fascinating —all while bonding with my own kids. If there’s a dad in your life who’s just waiting to unleash his inner child, I’ve put together some high tech toy suggestions from Best Buy’s extensive selection of gear that will have dad (and his kids) pretty happy on Father’s Day.

Activity centres and pretend play sets are perfect gifts for toddlers and young kids this holiday season, helping encourage imaginitive play.

  If you read the NY Times Bestseller Wild by Cheryl Strayed, then you will learn how not to pack as she did for her hike on the Pacific Coast Trail. If you haven’t read it, I would highly recommend this true story of her over 1,000 miles hike by herself to escape the loss of her mother and a broken marriage, all with no wilderness experience whatsoever. I don’t profess to be a wilderness expert although I have done a fair number of wilderness trips of at least one night, and usually more. The trick with overnight backcountry camping is not to take too much while making sure you have what you will need so you don’t get in trouble.

With the holidays right around the proverbial corner, it’s time to start thinking about decorations, gifts, and, of course, all those prerequisite parties. If you happen to be throwing your own shindig this season, let me help you out with the evening’s fun and entertainment. Here’s my list of Top Party Games for the Holidays.

On your mark, get set, GO! Summer is here and the kids are ready to have fun. Time to prepare the applications, accessories and projects that will make your computer a key part of their holiday fun!
