Orbeez Magic Light-Up Globe
How to describe this, besides wow? Well, think of it as an activity, a light show, and a surefire sleepover showstopper wrapped into one beautiful bundle of fun. To begin with, kids “grow” their Orbeez (don’t worry, it’ll make sense when you get it home), then pour it into the “magic” globe, add water, and illuminate. The swirling Orbeez, color-changing lights, and movement create a light show in the globe and on the ceiling. (Ages 5 and up; $14.99)

Hi creators of the great Orbeez! My little sister, Lauren’s, 8th birthday was a couple days ago and all she wanted was Orbeez Soothing Spa.  She had been talking about it all the time and singing your theme song all around the house. Attached is her adorable reaction to opening the gift.  I hope you enjoy it, and let us know what you think!

Need an exciting gift for your tween or teen?

Check out the Orbeez Mood Lamp. Fun meets function with this product – and I can’t help but be reminded of my old lava lamp!  This toy allows you to design your own real, working mood lamp in a few simple steps.

Add water to your Orbeez (comes with 1,500 of them!) and watch them grow before your eyes.  When Orbeez have swelled to full size, fill the Mood Lamp and illuminate it! The LED lights change colors and the Mood Lamp magically lights up and changes color.  This product will not only entertain kids as they put it together, but add to the decor of their bedrooms.

The Orbeez Mood Lamp also comes with a 16 page full color activity book.

Requires 3 AAA batteries (not included).

Price: $20

I had the chance to check out the Orbeez Soothing Spa for myself – and I could immediately understand why this toy is soaring to the top of MANY holiday gift lists this year.  This product is SO neat!

Add water to inflate the 3,500 Orbeez (which come in a variety of different colors).  Orbeez grow to 100 times their original volume – they are like small, squishy beads.  Add fully grown Orbeez to the included foot spa and two hand bowls and let the soaking fun begin!  The foot spa automatically cascades Orbeez in waterfall fashion into the spa and hand bowls.  This is mesmerizing to watch but even more addictive to try.  I stuck my hand in the tub of Orbeez and could not pull them out – it was such a fun, relaxing feeling!

Whether your tweens need a “therapeutic” study break or a fun slumber party activity, the Orbeez Soothing Spa will not disappoint.

Cassidy, from Richland: Orbeez should also be sold in something called a garden pack and the pack will include many multiple colored Orbeez plant seeds and some soil for kids to have their own Orbeez garden!

Aubree, from Irving: A house mold with an opening to put Orbeez inside to make an Orbeez house then you have doll molds to put Orbeez inside!

Nancy, from San Diego: There should be Orbeez containers with caps that you can stick or hook on walls, or that you can hang it up like a hanger. Because I have a lot of Orbeez, and I don’t have enough containers!

Heather, from Newfoundland: I think you guys should make an Orbeez rollercoaster! You could take any color Orbeez and let it slide down the rollercoaster and into a bowl of water!

Farrah, from Glendale: I think you should create large rubber molds to pour Orbeez into, then you could have a bouncy ball with a cool Orbeez look!

Amanda, from Lafette: You should make a Orbeez basketball hoop where you bounce the Orbeez and try to make a basket

Sharelle, from Miramar: How about Orbeez balloons? All you have to do is put the Orbeez in the balloon and put water in the balloon and just shake till its grown and you can pop it when ever you want!

Cody, from Chicago: I would like to ask if you could make an Orbeez pinball machine?
