WIN With Hot Wheels!

August 3, 2016 by Heather Step 16 Comments

My son is a bit obsessed with Hot Wheels. He has already told me that the theme for his party next year must be Hot Wheels (we’ll see in a year’s time…) and he will often ask me to search for “Hot Wheels” when wanting to watch his You Tube videos.

Every time we asked him what he wanted for his birthday he would say “Hot Wheels” so we set about finding a great gift for him. And after a lot of research we settled on “The Ultimate Garage”.

Check out Nicky playing with his Ultimate Garage. He loves to make all the noises, race the cars together and park the cars in specific places. 

 

 

You have a chance to win some great Hot Wheels cars on SA Mom Blogs.

  1. On the go Pocket Raceway (Value R200)
  • Pocket-sized launcher sends one or two vehicles speeding down orange track
  • Dual-lane race includes a launcher and a thrilling jump at the end
  • Jump over or crash through a standing Hot Wheels logo sign
  • Fold it up to bring the side-by-side racing action on the road
  • Includes one 1:64 Hot Wheels car for instant thrills

 

2. Six speed die cast cars (Value R150 each)

hot wheels carIn our house we have a special value for the hot wheels cars as opposed to the other cars and they are hopefully not going to get as lost as many other of his cars.

Nicky loves to “bash crash” his cars all over the house. I am wondering if this is some boy, masculine thing needed to let out more of his energy. That back and forth motion as he rolls the cars along has been something he has enjoyed since he was very little, and I think it sooths him in some way. My son doesn’t take fluffy toys to bed. He takes his cars.

Want to win? All you have to do is leave a comment as to why you like Hot Wheels and use the Rafflecopter mechanism to make sure you are entered. Extra points will be given for some social media follows and tweets.

T & C’s

  1. Competition is open to SA residents only.
  2. The competition will run for a week and the winner will be announced on Facebook and emailed.
  3. If you have won a giveaway on SA Mom Blogs in the last 3 months you will not be eligible for this giveaway.

    Too awesome, brings back wonderful memories of racing comps with my siblings and trading cars at school. My daughter loved playing with them and would make race tracks all over the garden in the sand. Perfect present for my nephew

    I have a 5 year old son, who goes everywhere with some of his hotwheels cars. He keeps himself entertained for hours playing with them, and the travel size product would be perfect for him as he likes to take his car along with him when we out and about.

    My little boy loves Hot Wheels. He’s only two and has already discovered a love for all things fast. He’s the youngest of 4 and with 3 older sisters could do with something that is first and foremost his (although I’m fairly certain the girls will love them too!)

    Oh, gosh! There can never be enough Hot Wheels in my house. Between Jack & James, there’s always room for another car, obstacle course or new racing game!

Just to say, two weeks ago I didn't post any photos. We had an awful time in Uitenhage and for the first time actually skipped a round and went home early enough before it got dark.

Just remember that winning only comes after those tough times.

OH and my wall is finally up! Major victory!

I really feel like we turned a corner this weekend.
After days of pain, Nicky had dental work done and he is no longer in pain. Such a nice emergency dentist who met us on Saturday afternoon to get things done. 
Also the airsoft gun is finally working!
After weeks of getting the charger sorted we realised the batteries weren't fitting in the gun. Thank God for Linda and her crew at @planet_paintball.pe who exchanged a part to make the whole thing work and let Nicky try it out with some other people. At no cost. We are so grateful.

Last Sunday night we heard a crash but I thought it was from the other side. I thought I should look at my phone to see what was going on and saw missed calls from my neighbor.

Some guy had literally driven into my wall.

So while we have been dealing with fixing walls, insurance claims and a lot of follow up, what is a girl to do but take refuge in a chocolate desert?

Such a lovely morning at @merchantandmillbakehouse Such a lovely morning at @merchantandmillbakehouse  and @your_motivationalcoach sipping cappacino and having a nice chicken sandwich and brownie squares while Nicky had a muffin and some pies. He was also giving me a blow by blow of squid games. 😂
Hope you all are having a nice Youth Day.
