This post on Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball: The Hottest Toy of Christmas is sponsored by Moose Toys.
The hottest toy of 2022 is here and it’s one the kid in your life is going to love. It’s full of surprises! This toy is going viral all over social media and for good reason! I can already tell you that Addie has this gift at the tip top of her Christmas wishlist, and I have a feeling Santa is very excited to bring it to her. Surprises just enhance an entire gift experience, but the Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball from Moose Toys is different…it has magic! Children dream about a world filled with magic, and thanks to the Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball, magic isn’t just a dream, it’s a reality. Last year, MooseToys created the popular Magic Mixies Magical Misting Cauldron, and it was a hit! Kids loved how interactive it was and enjoyed the fun surprise, and parents not-so-secretly loved it just as much. This year is going to be no different, and we are so excited to share all about the Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball. Keep reading for all the details on the Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball — including where to find them, what Magic Mixies are, and how the Magic Mixies Crystal Ball works.
What are Magic Mixies?
Moose Toys is no stranger to hot holiday toys. Magic Mixies has been on the scene since last holiday season, and sold out over and over again. The original toy from Moose Toys was called the Magic Mixies Misting Cauldron. The misting cauldron came with a cauldron, a magic wand, an instruction fold out, and potion packets for kids to cast a “magic spell” and make their Magic Mixie “come to life.” Kids were able to experience “real magic” using their interactive magic wands and potion packets in order to make a little Magic Mixies stuffed animal appear.This year, the new iteration of the toy is called the Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball. It’s listed for kids ages five to eight, but in our experience, even kids-at-heart will enjoy it! The Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball features over 80 lights, sounds, and reactions. When the “spell” has been completed in the crystal ball, your child will end up with the most adorable, furry little pet with fortune-telling capabilities.
How Does the Magic Mixies Magical Misting Crystal Ball Work?
The newest addition to the Magic Mixies family, the Magical Crystal Ball, combines fun and magic with many interactive features. The Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball allows kids to create their very own fortune-telling Mixie by performing the Creation Spell using a light-up interactive magic wand. When kids use the light-up interactive magic wand and say the magic words, the crystal ball fills with mist and a Mixie appears. Kids can play a game with the toy, teach it how to tell fortunes, ask it questions (the Mixie’s forehead gem will light up to answer), make it disappear and reappear, and more. Even better, at night, it can turn into a night light and kept on their nightstand.Here’s how it works more in depth:The most fun part about the Magic Mixies Crystal Ball is “creating” the Magic Mixie using magic. To do this kids need to follow the instructions provided and master the correct wand movements. Kids will also need to say the correct commands at the right times while using the various packets of ingredients in order. Then the Magic Mixies Crystal Ball magically responds to each of the wand movements, and the wand will turn the appropriate color. Once all the ingredients have been added and the wand movements are properly done, the child will need to say the magical words, “MAGICUS MIXUS!” to bring their new Magic Mixies to life!The Crystal Ball creates a brilliant show of mist, colors, and magical sounds, then clears away to reveal an adorable interactive plush pet with a light-up gem on its forehead. After an adult cuts the ties that keep the Magic Mixies in the Crystal Ball, kids can continue to perform spells, play interactive games, have their Magic Mixies tell fortunes and answer “yes or no” questions and more. The cool thing? The Crystal Ball sphere can be used as a night-light, too!
Where to buy the Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball
Magic Mixies is definitely on the top of many Christmas wish lists this year. It is a good idea to buy the Magic Mixies Crystal Ball if you see that it’s in stock. The closer we get to Christmas, they will definitely sell out. Here are a few places you can purchase it:
Walmart | Amazon | Target
Can You Use the Magical Mixies Crystal Ball More Than Once?
I’m excited to tell you that the Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball can absolutely be used over and over again! Not only does the Crystal Ball reveal the Magic Mixie on the first use, the Crystal Ball can be reset to mist-filled creation mode to reveal other items inside as well.Additionally, Moose Toys has created refill packets so kids can perform the mist as many times as they have refill packets! These packets are sold separately for $9.99 and make a great stocking stuffer to go along with the Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball! Kids can also reuse the Crystal Ball as a night-light as long as they continue to charge it.
Once you’ve seen the Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball by Moose Toys, you’ll see why it’s so popular amongst kids. The Crystal Ball is fun, interactive, surprising, and is magical! Nothing is cooler than that! The kid in your life will be so excited to open the instructions to see to get the spell just right in order for their Magic Mixies to come to life. Using the magic light-up wand only adds to the appeal, and the mist, colors, and magical sounds, will have them feeling like they’re truly doing magic!
So what are you waiting for? Go grab your Magic Mixies Magical Crystal Ball while they’re still available!

Sometimes, buying Christmas gifts for kids can be tough. There are so many choices and it can be hard to navigate through all of them. Luckily, this year we’ve put together our Top Christmas Gifts for Kids in 2022 gift guide to help you make gift giving easier. You’ll even find some discount codes, so make sure you don’t miss those!
Clixo: For the STEAM Fan
Do you know a kid that loves to build but you’re tired of traditional blocks? Clixo is one of our top Christmas gifts for kids in 2022 and are modern building blocks for kids in the 21st century. Lawson is really into building things right now and even plays with Clixo at school! Clixo pieces snap together using powerful magnets so kids can construct 3D creations, and they’re so easy to use. Clixo is a STEAM approved toy (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) so kids can foster creativity, spatial awareness skills, and more. We also really enjoy Clixo because they’re light, compact, and perfect for traveling. Get 20% off your order with: CLIXOBBX20
Real Littles: For the Collector
I’m not sure what it is about kids, but they love all things mini! Addie loves collecting miniature things (they’re perfect for her hands to hold) and displaying them in her room. Real Littles created miniaturized replicas of familiar things to transport kids to a miniature world of play. They’re smaller than “mini” -they’re micro! While Real Littles makes so many “Things You Love Made Micro,” our personal favorites are the Real Littles Cutie Carries (NEW, cute, tiny Puppy Carriers with 6 different puppies to choose from), Real Littles Journals (6 cute, tiny lock and key journals that really work and have a bookmark that unlocks a secret compartment), and Real Littles Backpacks (cute, tiny backpacks filled with REAL mini collectible stationary surprises!) Real Littles is on our list for top Christmas gifts for kids in 2022 because they’re REALly adorable and kids have a blast with these micro toys.
A Very Mercy Christmas: For the Book Lover
One of our favorite things to utilize for gifts every year is the rhyme, “Something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read.” If you do something similar, or have a child that enjoys reading, don’t miss this Christmas book from Candlewick Press! A Very Mercy Christmas by NY Times bestselling author, Kate DiCamillo, and illustrator, Chris Van Dusen, is on our top Christmas gifts for kids list! A Very Mercy Christmas is a celebration of community and is a heartwarming story that emphasizes kindness to others. Kate DiCamillo also wrote the page-turning books, Because of Winn-Dixie, as well as The Tale of Desperaux, and A Very Mercy Christmas is yet another page-turner!
Pop Up Pirate: For the Family Game Night Fan
One of the best things about the holidays is spending time together. If you’re looking for a great Christmas gift idea for a family, Pop Up Pirate is a fun option! Pop Up Pirate is an interactive game for ages 4 and up, requires zero batteries, and is a fun pirate themed action and guessing game. Kids and family members will push the pirate into the barrel and take turns sliding their swords into the barrel slots. Beware – if the pirate pops up, you’re out! This fun game will keep everyone guessing since the slot hat makes the pirate pop changes every time! Pop Up Pirate by TOMY is one of our top Christmas gifts for kids in 2022 because it’s fun, interactive, and allows families to have more quality time together (that’s filled with laughter!)
Monster Treads Lightning Wheels Transformers Optimus Prime: For the Car Enthusiast
All the boys I know are obsessed with cars- especially ones with big wheels. As soon as he saw this one, he was in love! The Monster Treads Optimus Prime Lightning Wheels vehicle has large light-up wheels and the faster it’s rolled, the faster the lights flash! It’s a great sized toy, measuring 7.5 inches tall and 9 inches long, is really sturdy, and uses an on/off switch to conserve batteries. This toy is on our top Christmas gift for kids because Optimus Prime fans will love taking it all over various terrains thanks to the durable wheels! Not only that, but kids really love how fast the lights flash, giving hours and hours of play time. TOMY definitely knew what they were doing when they came up with this toy!
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® Holiday Gifts: For The Thoughtful Kid
Many years ago a friend of mine’s child was diagnosed with cancer. It was just a few months before Addie was born and I followed their story for years and saw how cancer tried to rip their lives apart. More recently, I met a mom through social media whose daughter went to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® and had to have her eye removed due to cancer. Watching their family go through the heartache of a cancer diagnosis and enucleation was gut-wrenching. Despite it all, both of those incredible families have come out stronger (in more ways than one) and I know they’re grateful the hard times they went through weren’t any worse. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food—so they can focus on helping their child live. Share the joy of the holiday season with a thoughtful kid in your life with a gorgeous hand blown glass ornament inspired by artwork from St. Jude patients or a metal lapel pin with magnetic backing (perfect for backpacks!) These gifts are on our top Christmas gifts for kids for the amazing purpose of teaching kids about giving back and supporting the kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®.
Stride Rite Shoes: For the Fashion Obsessed
Know a kid that just loves to be fashionable? We love Stride Rite shoes and they hit all our criteria for the perfect gift. Since 1919, Stride Rite has designed innovative children’s footwear not only based on current trends but also the latest knowledge behind healthy foot development.

This post on 4 Back to School Essentials You May Have Forgotten is sponsored by Babbleboxx. #back2schoolbbxx
Everyone knows the usual things that are needed for yearly school supplies. Backpacks, folders, markers, crayons, and more- many parents know these lists inside and out. However, as a former teacher and current mom of two, there are some back to school essentials that you may have forgotten! Don’t miss these small but mighty 4 essentials and let us know which your favorite is!
Yipes! Face and Hand Wipes
Kids can get messy, can’t they? Whether it’s from a sticky pbj sandwich or markers on their hands, it’s important to teach them good hygiene. I grabbed Yipes! Face and Hand Wipes for Lawson’s backpack this year so he can practice keeping clean hands. Yipes! wipes are made with 99% plant-derived ingredients and 98% water, plus they are hypoallergenic. They’re formulated without parabens, phthalates and petrolatum, too! Yipes! wipes are individually wrapped wet wipes that take care of every messy, dirty, sticky situation. They’re great for backpacks, lunchboxes, pockets, and more to teach kids to develop independent healthy habits. I plan on keeping Yipes! wipes in his backpack and lunchbox. Don’t skip out on grabbing Yipes! back to school essentials for your child this year!
Stride Rite Shoes
I don’t know about you, but my kid plays HARD. One of my non-negotiable back to school essentials are children’s shoes from Stride Rite. This year, I got Lawson the Made 2 Play Journey 2.0 Sneaker and we already love them. These Stride Rite shoes are made with machine-washable materials, have scuff-proof protection, are lightweight and use supportive construction. They sold me alone knowing they’re machine-washable and scuff-proof! Plus, the adjustable hook-and-loop closure are wonderful so you don’t have yucky shoelaces by the end of the school year. As a former teacher, I still have flashbacks of having to help tie nasty shoelaces- yuck! You’ll be so happy you grabbed the Made 2 Play Journey 2.0 sneakers for your child, and they’ll love their cool design too.Don’t miss this great offer: $10 off $70 or more using code BBRITE10 (Valid: 7/18/22-2/1/23) *Disclaimer: $10 off your purchase of $70 or more at striderite.com.

Standard Process Children's Supplements
Last year when Lawson started school, it seemed like he and Addie were feeling run down every month. Germs come with the territory of having a kid in school, but we weren’t prepared at all! This year, join us and be prepared with Standard Process supplements. Supplements are the easiest thing to help defend against illness, if you don’t already do them. Standard Process is a leading whole food-based nutritional supplement company and has just what kids need to help ensure a healthy household during the long school year — the NEW SP Children’s Immune. This supplement from Standard Process is amazing for immune support and includes vitamin C, vitamin D, Zinc, prebiotic, and elderberry. This is a must have for children ages 4 and older, and is one thing on your back to school essentials list you shouldn’t skip.
Goo Jit Zu from SuperMoose Toys
I know you’re thinking, Stephanie, why did you include a toy in this list? Hear me out… There’s nothing worse than a school pick up line. Lawson only has a half day of school. If you have a little one in a similar position, it’s not easy to wait for an older sibling in the pick up line. We keep a small bin of toys, art supplies, and more to take in the car for moments like these. Every now and again it’s best to switch those toys out so they’re not boring. The Heroes of Goo Jit Zu Goo Shifters are the gooiest, stretchiest Action Figure heroes ever! With stretchy, squishy bodies, arms and legs, they provide kids with a new gooey way to play without making a mess. Plus, each of the 7 Goo Jit Zu Goo Shifters has a one-time crushable core that transforms the color of their bodies that your child will love. You can squish and stretch them up to 3x their size, too! Grab this fun item on your back to school essentials list and say goodbye to pick up line boredom!
We hope you and your children have a wonderful school year. Grab these back to school essentials and have the best year yet! For more kid-friendly products, don’t miss the kid archives!
