Great Gizmos NICI Review

28 May 2015 by Eileen

Time passes very quickly! We are almost at the end of the term and soon it will be the summer holidays and then time to get ready with the back to school stationery!

Great Gizmos have a large range of NICI stationery. We have received four different items for the back to school theme. The four items are: Wild Australia 12 double-ended colour pencils, Wild Friends scissors, Jungle Plush pouch roll and Timmy Time backpack.

great gizmos nici review

NICI are a company based in Altenkunstadt in Germany and they have a very unique range of products. With numerous licensed products, they have become one of the world’s leading manufacturers of plush toys and gifts for the whole family.

The colour pencil set from the Wild Australia range includes 12 pencils but with 24 different colours. We have had double-ended colour pencils before and both children love the ideas of it. It comes with a flat tin box. We have tried colouring with them and they are quite light. It does require applying a bit more force if you want to get a darker colour.

The Wild Friends scissors is easy to hold and the print on it is very nice. The tips on the scissors are very sharp so this is best for older children.

The super soft plush pouch from the Jungle range is made from high quality materials. It come s with a full length zip closure and a wrap-over flap for added security. On the wrap, it also come s with two rolls of elastic pen/pencil holder.

Ms C loves the Timmy Time backpack and we have already taken him out and about! This adorable sheep backpack come s with adjustable straps for a comfortable fit. It comes with a super-soft plush finish elastic pouch along with four tiny limbs. This bag will be a big hit for smaller, younger children who loves Timmy Time. Although it is quite small, it is able to fit in a small doll, drink and other small bits and bobs. These are available to buy on Great Gizmos or from Amazon:

Disclosure: We received the samples for the purposes of writing this review, however, all thoughts and opinions remain our own.
