Spring Fling- Gazillion Bubbles Cyclone Review & Giveaway (and a contest too!) {CLOSED}

Pin It
Spring is finally in the air and we have some great things to share with you to kick off this wonderful season! From backyard bar-b-ques and outdoor fun to Easter and Mother's Day gifts and Spring Cleaning, we've got you covered. Make sure to stop by daily to see the wonderful products we have to share with you. Of course there are a whole bunch of giveaways you can win too!




"The new Gazillion Bubble Cyclone puts the power of a bubble storm in your hands! Just screw the mini-machine onto the Gazillion Bubbles solution bottle, push the button and enjoy a whirlwind of mini-bubbles! Hold your bubble torch up high, or set it down for a perfect bubble scene. Great for birthday parties, or an outside picnic!"
My son is a freshly turned  2 year old....and  we are quickly being indoctrinated into the world of the full fledged toddler. That said- his emotional highs and lows come swiftly and fierce. Thankfully something as simple as a bubble can calm this kid down and  return my happy go lucky munchkin fairly easily. I was pretty excited when  I had  the opportunity to review Gazillion Bubbles- I knew we couldn't go wrong.

My son loved  these. I know the picture doesn't really show just how many bubbles there were- but by the look of unadulterated joy on  his face, I mean, come on. Only bubbles can do that!


B really liked the Cyclone. We realized that putting it on the ground, however- didn't work as well. If you have it up  on a table- the bubbles can be caught by the wind and fly around better since the solution has some weight to it. Once the Cyclone gets going, the bubbles really started coming. Pretty fun to have on a windy day in your yard.

In addition to the Cyclone, we also received a 6 pack of their 2oz. bottles.
Personally, I have never used a bubble solution that made so many bubbles!  The little 2 oz bottles with the wand really kicked  them out! I couldn't figure out how to 'easily' snap the wand into the cap though- which was the only frustrating part. But that had no impact whatsoever on how cool the 'gazillion' bubbles worked!
"Gazillion Bubbles in 6 Pack
Includes six 2 oz. bottles of the one and only Gazillion Bubbles solution with a specially designed multi 7-in-1 bubble wand that snaps easily into the cap. Blow a Gazillion colorful bubbles! You’ll run out of breath before you run out of bubbles! 2 fl. oz. 57 ml."
BONUS: Contest Alert!!
"The Ultimate Gazillion Bubbles Photo Contest:
The contest is currently running until July 22, 2011. The Grand Prize winner will receive a $1,000 Toys 'R Us Gift Card along with a "summer fun package" of Gazillion products valued at approximately $100! We will be giving away monthly prizes of $250 gift cards and bubble prizes too! Please visit

Fantastic! Go enter! I know  I am :)

I loved blowing bubbles outside. My dog would always catch them even though they must have tasted terrible.

We would blow the bubbles up in the air and then run as fast as we could to pop them all before they hit the ground.

We didn't have bubbles like now. We'd have to use wash water to make sudsy bubbles.

It was nice but not as fun as this.
