3-D PakNak Charms Review and Giveaway

by Julie Northrop

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

My kids love to customize everything they own. They have skins for their techno gadgets, they draw all over their binders, notebooks and even some of my stuff!

PakNak

So when I received my sample PakNaks to review, I intentionally left them out where they could be seen by wandering eyes. Ok, so my 14 yo daughter wasn’t quite as observant and I had to point them out, but nonetheless she loves the Mona and Powder that I had requested for her.

PakNak

These interchangeable 3-D rubbery designs let kids accessorize their backpacks, lunch boxes, notebooks and so much more. They attach to items using PakNak’s Fuzzy Coins which are made from Velcro.

Now my son saw the PakNak’s right away. More specifically Mike the Leafy Monster and started right in with the questions: “What are theessseee?, What do you do with them? You put them on stuff? Oh cool, can I have Mike?” Well, he liked them so much that he sat down and wrote out his own review, so from a 10 yo’s perspective:

I like PakNaks’ because they’re cool velcrow designs that you can almost stick to anything! I also like them because they give them names and info about them! They’re also cool because they have bright colors that stand out!

Now we go on to examples of what you can put them on: You can put them on your lunch box and your backpack or you can put them on your bike or scooter.

There are over 40 interchangeable PakNak designs, including holiday themes, and each has it’s own name, a special home, favorite food, best friend and favorite activity. Sizes do vary, but the average seems to be around 2.5″ x 2.5″ and they retail for $3.99 each at PakNak’s online store. Kids can change designs depending on their mood and for holidays.

According to my son, he is going to start collecting these. I think it’s a great accessory to add to a birthday package or stuff in a stocking. The kids will love adding their own kind of “bling” to their stuff.
