Wikki Stix – Fun for less than $10!
Posted in Reviews on May 5, 2011
In preparation for the 1400 mile road trip that I took with my kids all by myself (and lived to tell about it!), the Easter Bunny brought several new travel items for the kids. One of those travel items was a package of Wikki Stix.
Let me start by saying that I was not going to purchase Wikki Stix when all of the blogs that I read started raving about them awhile back. Not because I didn’t think they were effective, I just didn’t see the point of spending the money on them when we had plenty of other things to keep the kids occupied. Boy, was I wrong!!!
While at a Traveling Mom retreat, we received a little mini Wikki Stix sample that I shoved in my purse and forgot about it. Well, fast forward a few weeks and picture us at a restaurant with poor service, waiting almost an hour for our food and at wit’s end as I furiously dug through my purse for something to do because, really, there is only so much Angry Birds an irritable mom can take. I found the Wikki Stix sample pack and ripped in to it! The kids LOVED them! By loved them, I mean they did not even put them down when the food came even though they were hungry.
As soon as I got home, I took a look at the Wikki Stix website and realized that they were very inexpensive. I decided to go with the Original Package that comes with 48 eight inch Wikki Stix (Neon for Little S and primary for Big S). They only cost $6.25 each plus shipping (and they arrived in less than 5 days!).
Out of all the travel gifts that I purchased, this was the fan favorite! They held up even after my 4yo took all 48 Wikki Stix and put them in a gigantic ball resembling 48 pieces of already chewed gum stuck together. I did have to help pull them apart, but after we pulled each stick off and stretched out they were good as new!
There are all sorts of different Wikki Stix products to choose from ranging from simple packs to activity packs and favors great for parties!
Disclosure: I…er…the Easter Bunny purchased the Wikki Stix and I am writing this review because my children adored them. They have been Two Kids and a Map tested and given the seal of approval!
