Holiday Gift Guide Review - Quagmire ColorFusion for Kids


My kids have color changing cups in the kitchen and color changing toys in their toybox. Until now, I had never heard of color changing clothing - have you?
Starting Monday, November 29, Quagmire’s broad range of polos and t-shirts for men, women and kids featuring its unique ColorFusion technology is available online at www.QuagmireStyles.com.

Designed to blow your mind, these crazy, state-of-the-art polos and t-shirts have fabrics and screen prints that change color in the heat or sunlight, depending on the style. Technically speaking, ColorFusion shirts will begin changing at 20° Celsius (that’s 68° Fahrenheit for Quagmire’s friends in the USA), and the screen prints that transform from UV rays will work best on bright sunny days. Unlike Hypercolor from the early 90’s, ColorFusion shirts are built to last – wash and dry them just as you would any of your clothes.

Sizes 4T to 14

I received a ColorFusion Polo from Quagmire Kids in purple and when I rub my hands or breath hot air on it, it turns pink - very cool!


I originally thought it would be fun to see the reaction of my daughters shirt changing color as she goes in and out during recess at school, but since the fabric needs to be in temperatures above 20° Celsius we will need to wait until she can wear it out without being bundled up. I'm not sure yet what type of pattern would be produced during wear, but it will be interesting to find out when summer rolls around.

You can purchase Quagmires ColorFusion for Kids online and from select retailers across Canada (With a few in the USA as well). It looks like these will be available in adult sizes come the new year too, definitely something that has been added to my wishlist!

Holiday Gift Guide - EZ Sox for toddlers


My toddler, like most at this age, likes to try to dress herself with what ever she happens to pick up. Sometimes she puts a shirt on like a skirt, sometimes she puts pants on like a hat! Regardless, she enjoys doing it, but it can be frustrating when she knows socks go on her feet and can't figure out how to fit both her fingers and her foot into the small hole.

I received a pair of EZ Sox for review and my daughter was happy to try them out as soon as I handed them to her. I showed her how to put her fingers into the loops, and it wasn't long before she was pulling them on all by herself.

About EZ Sox:
Created by parents who tired of seeing their young son struggle dressing himself, Eileen and Ronnie Gesser designed socks with pull-up loops on both sides of each sock, and fun graphics on the tops of the socks. In no time, their son was no longer frustrated and proudly dressing himself. Today this fun and easy teaching tool for teaching kids self-sufficiency is the only one of its kind.




Next to toothbrushes, socks are one of the handful of things that are guaranteed to be under my tree every year. If you have a toddler that is getting frustrated trying to put on regular socks, these are brilliant and worth checking out!


Buy It:
You can purchase EZ Sox online at http://www.ezsox.com. EZ Sox are also sold in 30 boutique stores throughout North America and one US Chain Store with 36 retail outlets. A Japanese distributor has EZ Sox in more than 70 retail stores in Japan.

Holiday Gift Guide - T-Shirt from Costume Squad (US Only)

Personally, I think costumes are fun for any time of the year. Unfortunately, many people don't agree but we don't need to let the costume shops gather dust all year either.

Costume Squad is brought to us by the owners of Crazy Dog T-Shirts and while they do have a nice selection of Halloween Costumes, they also sell Funny T-Shirts!

I received the Gizzy is the Shizzy T-Shirt in size XL for this review. This isn't a baggy XL, it is stretchy and fits me comfortably but if you don't like close fitting clothes or are larger than XL this may be too small for you. The T-Shirts brand is Tultex and is made with a soft 100% cotton. The image is printed to look like it came straight from the 80's.

Come on... who didn't think Gizmo was the cutest thing ever back then? Who still thinks Gizzy is the Shizzy? I Do!

I washed the shirt in cold with the rest of my dark colored clothes and the image didn't fade or peel off in any way so I have no complaints about this T-Shirt!

Have someone on your shopping list who loves vintage style or funny tees? Check out Costume Squad and Crazy Dog T-Shirts!

Win It!
One of you will will win a mystery Tee in your choice of size (Mens), or a $15 Gift Card
Open to US Only, Ends December 15th
Note: Winners cannot have won a shirt from us or have been sent a shirt for promotional purposes in the last 90 days.
