It's on people! Once again we have 12 days of wacky, wonderful giveaways for a myriad of ages and types. This is NOT the place for sexist breakdowns of boy toys and girl toys. If your girl loves to code and hates dresses and your uncle wants a tutu, more power to 'em. We'll just be categorizing loads of cool finds, not cool people! Interspersed with our reviews and eco friendly, clutter busting, edu-toys, kindie music, and other great gift ideas will be LOTS of rockin' giveaways through Dec 17th for 1-6 and Dec 20th for 7-12.
So check back like we vote in Chi, IL... early and often. It's rewarding. All of our giveaways are open nationwide, to anyone in the US. A few are Chicago based tickets, so if you can get here, enter away!
Here at ChiIL Mama, it was our great pleasure to be invited out to play with Hasbro and their hottest toys for the season at Blokes and Birds Public House in Chicago earlier this year. We're giving away 2 fun toys worth $80 & Hasbro has a 20% discount on just about everything. Scroll down for details.
It was such a fun night of creating and hands on fun. Check out our full photo recap slide show and favorite shots below.
Disclosure: It's our pleasure to partner up with Hasbro for the 2nd year now. They have provided us samples for our giveaway and for review purposes. As always, all opinions are our own.

We're giving away two Hasbro favorites that are on many kids' wish lists this season. Enter through midnight 12/17. Open nationwide.
Interact with Elmo by tickling him, bouncing him, or squeezing his nose
Elmo plays "Prince Elmo Says"
Elmo counts up to 20 with your little one
Elmo plays a sounds-of-the-sea identification game
Includes Elmo, cowboy hat, sea captain's hat, crown, and instructions
Playskool Sesame Street Let's Imagine Elmo
Let's Imagine Elmo is trying on different fun hats, and he's inviting your little one to sing, count, and play along with him! Whether he's a counting cowboy, playful prince, singing sea captain, or just being himself, Elmo has 4 playful interactive modes with games, songs, and actions.
Elmo has his very own segment on Sesame Street called Elmo the Musical where he loves to pretend. With Let's Imagine Elmo, your little one can get in on some of his adventures! Each hat unlocks a different play mode for your child to join and start the fun! When your little one puts the crown on Elmo, he pretends to be Prince Elmo and plays a game of "Prince Elmo Says." Put on the cowboy hat, and Cowboy Elmo counts up to 20 with your child and then sings a reward song when they reach 20. The sea captain's hat lets Elmo imagine he's an ocean-going captain, and he'll start up a sounds-of-the-sea identification game. When Elmo isn't wearing a hat, he still loves to interact with your child by getting bounced, tickled, and having his nose squeezed!

Here's some of our Instagram Fun from the Hasbro Chicago Party:
For those of you with the burning question.... what the heckamoley IS that thing?! I'm glad you asked. It's a Chomp and Stomp Grimlock. #HasbroChicago
Want one just so I have an excuse to say "Chomp and Stomp Grimlock" in casual conversation. Who names these toys?! #HasbroChicago
My new favorite exclamation... "sweet wall of swag bags! !" #HasbroChicago
Chiilmama ChiILin with Elmo in Chi IL & we're giving one away soon! #HasbroChicago
Yes. .. Yes I did. After seeing the divers in the awesome round tank at Shedd Aquarium. I did grow up to work at Shedd in pr in the early 90 and I did tank dive in shallow reefs off Oahu. #HasbroChicago
Getting artsy with Play Doh. My daughter was sooooo excited we get to review one. #DohVinci
More of Our Hasbro Favs:
Thanks for the Chi, IL love Play-Doh. Chicago is the home of some of the deepest delicious pizza and the tallest buildings on the planet!
We're really digging the new Doh Vinci line!
Reimagined classics. We're also excited about this version of Monopoly that's customizable. The personalized squares can interchangeably be pawns or place markers. Kudos to Hasbro for the personal touch. This game for our Chicago event was full of bloggers! See me?
The new My Monopoly board game allows you to create a personalized Monopoly game in just minutes. Download the free My Monopoly app or visit www.mymonopoly.com to set up an account and personalize property spaces, game tokens, Community Chest and Chance cards to use in the My Monopoly board game.
We also dig the new twist on Simon, Taboo, Trivial Pursuit and more. These are self contained so great to bring on road trips or to gatherings, because there are no pieces or cards to lose.
Rock your inner archer or prep for the zombie apocalypse with these fun Nerf creations including:
NerfMegaThunderBow Blaster
NERF ZOMBIE STRIKE DOUBLESTRIKE BLASTER Great for indoor active fun. We love that the darts are soft so they don't hurt people or things and they don't have suction to stick to ceilings for ever! Yep. Been there... done that.
