What is ThinkGeek?
ThinkGeek.com is an incredible website that has gifts for really just about everyone! They sell all sorts of computer geeky products, office oddities & neat toys, apparel, brainy products, and more! This is an awesome place to buy a gift for that person who “has everything”! How about a Star Trek pizza cutter, a Biohazard baby onesie, brain soap, a talking first aid kit, a Yoda backpack, Edible Yummy Dough, or a robot building kit? You can definetely find all sorts of awesome things here to give your co-worker for Christmas!
ThinkGeek launched on Friday the 13th, 1999… and you can even request the ThinkGeek catalog which is available by mail or as a PDF file! Think Geek- it’s “stuff for smart masses”!
I have had an extremely positive experience with ThinkGeek.com. I received my products from them within one week of placing my order! It was quick shipping, they were so nice and helpful! It is a fabulous website and everything is very easy to browse through and read about.
I received 3 different products from ThinkGeek and in an effort to not make this a HUGE post I will be separating my review out into 3 posts- one for each product I received! They have also VERY generously offered a $50 gift certificate to one of my readers!! So once my 3 reviews have been posted I will be putting up a giveaway- make sure you go check out ThinkGeek after you read this review and browse their awesome products!!
The second product I received was a Snap Circuits Jr. kit! It has over 100 projects in it! We were especially excited about this one as we have been eyeing this product for a while. It says ages 8 & up, but with adult supervision this is so simple to understand that a much younger child would also enjoy it!
 I love that it is so simple and the projects are easily built- it leads to a feeling of self-accomplishment for kids. My son could easily build a working project by himself, and then was proud of himself for doing so. For an older child you can easily teach them more about electricity and conductivity while allowing them to build their projects.
This is great for developing fine motor skills, understanding cause and effect, and understanding simple concepts of electricty.
This would make a great addition to a teachers classroom for an activity center, free time or even to integrate into a teaching lesson- so consider purchasing one of these for your teacher this year! The kids will LOVE you for it!
I will have a link to ThinkGeek on my right side bar through the end of the year so make sure you visit their site for the holidays!!
