With the holidays fast approaching, people are already making their Christmas and New Years Eve plans. What have you got on the go? Gone are the days of partying all night to bring in the new year – for us it’s all about family time mixed in with good friends and good food!
Mattel has a sleigh full of games perfect for get togethers with family and friends over the holidays and they sent us a huge box packed full with Mattel Game On products and everything we need to not only host one game night, but get us through the holiday season! Everything you see above is what’s included in the box!
Our specific box had a few different games inside, including Angry Birds Knock on Wood Game which has been a big hit! The other big favorite from our box which is also included in the one being given away is Apples to Apples! This game, if you’re unfamiliar, was such a big hit last holiday season that it was hard to find in stores! Thankfully, I’ve seen it on the shelves this holiday season – well, so far anyway! If your kids have mentioned the game, get your hands on it quick in case history repeats itself!
Other items inside the box include coasters for your party beverages, bottle openers, napkins and even fortune cookies! Speaking of fortune cookies, did you know that the Mattel Gameology App can tell your fortune when it comes to party games? It’s true! You can find more information about it here.
Ready to get your Game On with Mattel?
