OhmyHECK – Remember Popoids Toys?

I LOVED these when I was a kid!

I remember getting these in my Happy Meal at McDonalds, and being SO super excited to bring them home to add to my collection.

We were really poor when I was a little girl… Like, one year we were the family that the church chose to sponsor kind of poor… And going to McDonalds was a big luxury anyway. When the trip rewarded me with not only my beloved Chicken Nuggets and Hi-C Orange drink, a crawl through the Big Mac Maze, and a quick hide-out in the Hamburgler Jailhouse- when I got not just any toy, but my FAVORITE Popoids toys- I was as excited as a kid all jacked up on sugary soda can get!!!

Haven’t seen ’em in years!

I wouldn’t have believed that they even made these anymore, until I saw that they’re available today on Totsy!! And, not only can I actually buy them, but they’re also HALF OFF!!! The sale only lasts for a couple days, and some sets were sold out already, but I got one. My inner child has a very happy heart tonight…

How to get them-

Head over to Totsy, and register really quick for an account if you haven’t already. {It only takes a sec, and they won’t spam ya, just one email per day with the newest sales, promise.} Then, on the main screen, just click on the big graphic with the BUILDING TOY EVENT on it, and get to shoppin’!!

If for some sad reason you miss out on this, {it’s a very limited time sale} I also found them on Amazon – Popoids 140-Piece Construction Set In Bucket – but they’re double the price! So, if you remember these, and are as excited as I am to know that they still exist, and are also excited to fight the kids for the chance to build with them {lol, but only kind of…} then jump on this deal at Totsy today!

FREE Back-to-School T-Shirts!

Make your own FREE Back-to-School T-Shirts!

1 FREE Customized T-Shirt! Choose from a variety of designs and add your own text to make your design unique! These T-Shirts are made of 100% Pre-Shrunk cotton and are available in sizes from S to XXL. The T-Shirt is FREE, just pay for Shipping and Processing! Click Here to get started!

So much fun!

Read the details:

You can choose the slower shipping option to get the cheapest price. It says it will take “up to 21 days”, but trust me, you’ll get it much quicker. About a week, maybe a week and a half tops, is the longest I’ve ever waited for my purchases. If you use that option, you’ll only pay $4 bucks for your T-Shirt. That is a STEAL for a good quality, totally customized shirt!

A few more examples of T-Shirts that we designed for the first day at school…

My nephew goes to Terrace Heights Elementary School, and wanted to show his School Spirit. He is SO excited for this T-Shirt to get here!

This one is for my other nephew. This year is his first year going to school. I can’t believe he is starting Kindergarten… How on earth did I get so old??

There are TONS more designs to choose from!

Any teenager can find some great designs too- Guitars, sports, abstract, and more. You can also upload a pic, and make gifts for grandparents, or your business logo or blog can be advertised too!

What will YOU make with your free T-Shirt??
