Blick's Blog: March 2012

  • Fun, Charming, Vintage

    Remember the fun-filled, adventurous days of finding small shiny objects?  The thrill of a smooth marble or the color of aqua green pebbles?  At Blickenstaff's, we love helping you remember those great times!  Presenting....

    Charming kid charms!!   Assorted in many different colors, they're perfect for sporting whatever letter you like from the alphabet and as it says, for proud Moms, Grandma's, friends & anyone!

    We decided to select one of the letters from the girls alphabet and go on a roll!  So we chose, "F"! F for family, friends, fun, facials, fair-and-square, flamboyant, fair-minded, fair-spoken, fairy-tales, famed, fiery, friendly, fit and faithful, fervent, fiestas, finales, finely, flowering, fountains, freaking awesome vacations and of course.. Food!

  • Kickin' the Kikbo!

     

    Ever heard of Kickbo?  Take a few feathers, stick them into a few plastic & felt cutouts and... Wala!  Now you have a toy you can kick around just like a hacky sack.  We played in our store for a while trying to do some insanely awesome tricks, which reminded me of my grade school soccer days gone by...

    ...Knee

    ...Chest

    ...Foot

    ...HEAD!!!

    Kikbo is meant for kids 8+, but I honestly don't know any kid who wouldn't want to give this a nice... KICK! Spending the time we did to have fun with our new Kikbo was AMAZING and I'm personally working on improving my tricks! Take a look at the Kikbo Official Video to see what tricks you can work on.

    Think your amazing at it already? Come in, grab an employee and show them your moves!

  • Jamestown Courtyard Game Night!

    We're pretty lucky to work in such a FUN store! Toys, candy, games and awesome decor everywhere we turn! It is amazing to watch kids, parents and grandparents eyes as they walk into the store and are magically transported into a world of fun.

    We had the opportunity the other night to take our FUN to an amazing group of people who don't have a lot of opportunities to get out anymore.

    We put together a Game Night over at the Jamestown Courtyard Senior Center!
    It was such a special experience!

    We grabbed a bunch of our favorite games and favorite candy and headed over to meet up with a fantastic group of Seniors as well as several BYU wards and a group of volunteers from the Timpview High School Student Council! We had an incredible turnout - check it out!!

     

     

    We broke into several groups. One of our groups stayed in the main hall and played a variety of our awesome board games. A second group actually headed over to the Alzheimers wing to play volleyball!

    It was SO much fun getting to talk with the residents and play some games. There is something really special about talking with these great individuals. They all have such unique and fun backgrounds. We want to say thanks to the Jamestown Courtyard and the residents for letting us come spend an evening with them. We had an amazing time and we're hopeful that we can do this again real soon!

    Virignia was just one of the many residents we had a chance to spend some time with! SO much fun!!

  • Snap, Crackle, Pop!

     

     

    What's the best way to kick off those winter blues?  How about with a bang!  Our "Pop Pop Snappers" are just what the doctor ordered. We enjoyed the warmer weather with Walker, Gus, Isaac & Maddox as we launched Snappers all over the place!

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Each Pop Pop Snapper box comes with tons of little snappers to snap (50 to be exact). It's time to get outside and enjoy the weather while you can! (Who knows how long it will last!) These guys were literally outside laughing, snapping and having a grand old hoot with us.
