Product Reviewed: Penguin Lounge Wear Set – Item CG189
Retail: $39.95
Material: Cotton

COMFY!!!!! This penguin set is very comfortable and quite appropriate for hanging around on the weekends. Not see-thru and not clingy. I have many kids sleeping over every weekend and always try to look presentable while making breakfast for them. These were perfect. I need to see what other designs they come in. I actually got a couple of compliments from the kids that my pjs were cool! Penguins are the cutest! There was no shrinkage with washing and drying. 5 stars.

Night Sky Projection Kit

Night Sky Projection Kit

Product Reviewed: Night Sky Projection Kit – Item # FF274

This kit is actually very interesting. First I do have to say ,I think the suggested age should be raised to at least 12. I don’t know an 8 year old that could put this together. I had myself, my 16 year old neighbor, my 13 year old son and my 10 year old neighbor trying to put this together. After 20 minutes we had everything all set except the hole punching on the sky domes. Once we punched the holes with a nail (nothing else seemed to work and this is what is suggested on the box,) we tried the light in a dark bedroom… it was worth the frustration. It really does show the night sky above your bed. The light is powered by 4 AA batteries which are not included. 3.5 stars

Very Good Bad Dog T-Shirt

Very Good Bad Dog T-Shirt

Product Reviewed: “Very Good…” Dog T-Shirt – Item # HM150

Retail: $12.95

Size Range: XS (6-9Lbs) through M (21-30 lbs.)

Otto, my dog, has this shirt. I didn’t thought he could look any cuter than he already is until I put this adorable shirt on him . Otto is not really into dog clothing. Normally he tries chewing and tearing the clothing into shreds. This shirt doesn’t bother him. He walks around the house like he is the King. He knows he looks gooooood! He doesn’t try to remove it. It is very easy to put on him as the material stretches so you don’t have to make the dog bend in ways he is not accustomed to. The shirt is available in Boy or Girl (White for Boys – Pink for Girls)

Otto and I give this shirt 4 stars.

Fuzzy Friend Dog Slippers

Fuzzy Friend Dog Slippers

Product Reviewed – Fuzzy Friends Dog Slippers #CG194

Retail- $21.95

Fits most adult sizes. Footbed is 10″.

 

A very comfy find! These cute dog slippers have been renamed by my family. We call them the feel good slippers. As you walk around in these slippers your feet feel like they are being massaged by the “fuzzies”. The non -slip soles are good on my wood stairs. These smiling dog slippers are light weight and they keep my feet are as warm as toast.

I do however have one warning. My dog will not come near me while I am wearing these dog slippers. He actually hides from them. 5 stars

Dolphin Travel Mug - CO109

Dolphin Travel Mug - CO109

I don’t know about you, but I need my caffeine! The half a cup I have time for before heading out in the morning is simply not enough. For me a travel mug is a must. I incorporated the “Peace, Love & Laughter” dolphin mug into my life to see if it could stand up to my “java-on-the-go” needs. The travel mug is the best travel mug I have ever owned. It keeps my morning coffee piping HOT!! The sides of the cup do get quite warm so watch out if you have small children. It fits perfectly in the car cup holder and no worries of it tipping over. Even though the product is supposed to be dishwasher safe I washed it by hand because I was afraid the dolphin design would fade in the dishwasher. Wouldn’t you know it, the one time that my daughter decides to load the dishwasher, she put the cup in and it came out fine. No fading and the rubber bottom still secure. Overall I give this cup 4 1/2 stars.

Fun Dog Rain Boots

Fun Dog Rain Boots

 

I LOVE THESE BOOTS!!!! They just slip right on. I wore them to my son’s double- header baseball game after 3 solid days of rain. The field was like a swamp. The dog pattern on the boots were quite the conversation starter at the game. Everyone had mud between their toes and in their sandals while my feet stayed nice and dry. When I came home from the games at the end of a long and soggy day I rinsed the boots off with water and they were good as new, the pattern still bright. These are great quality boots. My neighbor loved them so much, I have to buy her a pair for her birthday. I found they run a half size large, which is great for wearing thick socks, but bear that in mind when ordering. I give the Fun Dog Rain Boots 5 stars.

Plush Tiger Blanket

Plush Tiger Blanket

My first review was about the Plush Tiger Blanket-RM165. I need to write a more about the this great item. Have I mentioned how much I love this blanket? My son had a sleep over the other night and everyone was fighting over who was going to get to sleep with the “tiger”.  When my neighbors come to visit they immediately get comfortable by covering up with this plush blanket. I have washed it a few times already because of spills. (I did tell you I have 2 kids- things are going to get spilled and standing up to constant washing in our house is a must.) This blanket always comes out fluffy and the colors stay vibrant.
I was very excited to see that Whales & Friends also offers a Plush Cat Blanket, item #RM164 as well as a Plush Orca Blanket, item #RM275.
Even More Exciting- These blankets are all on sale at 25% Off until October 22nd!
Regular Price$64.95 Each

Welcome to “Robin’s Reviews”

Hi Everyone,
My name is Robin and I am going to review products from Whales & Friends. Any product you find in my Review Page I have tested in a real-life situation. I am not a Whales & Friends employee. I am, however a Mom and anything brought into my home has to stand up to my 2 kids as well as myself. I do not have a laboratory. I simply use the products described in my home, my car or wherever applicable. In other words, the products have been incorporated into my life just as they would be in yours. Each time I give a review I will list the product description, the Whales & Friends item number, post the image, tell you what I think and give a star rating.

Readers, you can vote too. If I have reviewed a product that you have purchased, then add your vote!

If you have a product that you want to discuss, something you have purchased, please comment. I will post your comments too!

This Week’s Pick:

Whales & Friends “Plush Tiger Blanket”

Item Number RM165

Retail Price $64.95

Content: 85% acrylic/15% poly fleece

Measurement 78″ x 93 1/2″

 

The kids and I love to cuddle in the evenings on the couch and hang out. The importance of having the “right” blanket may seem like a silly detail, but trust me, it’s an important one. Thus, I decided to test out the Plush Tiger Blanket . It’s wonderful! Soft, warm, and the colors are vibrant, the tiger is beautiful. I washed it in cold water the colors came out just as vibrant as before it was washed. We have been using it in our living room to cuddle up when watching T.V. and fighting over the blanket has become a nightly ritual. If you love to snuggle at night and tiger’s are your thing, this should be a perfect fit!

My vote- 5 stars.
