Club Penguin Games for Kids on Sunshine Rewards


Sunshine Rewards is happy to announce that we are now working with Disney Games, the makers of Club Penguin. If you are looking for Club Penguin coupons, our deal is the best that we have seen online. You can get 12 months of Club Penguin membership for the price of 8! Plus, you can earn 5% cash back on the duration of your Club Penguin membership when you sign up through Sunshine Rewards.

If you aren’t familiar with Club Penguin, it is a free online virtual world where kids can play in a safe environment. Although the game is aimed at 6-14 year olds, I know a lot of parents who find themselves wanting to play along with their kids. One of the best things about it is that there are a number of safeguards in place to prevent kids from sharing personal information (even inadvertently) with other players. Kids can play mini games for free but if they want to accumulate clothes and other items, they will need a monthly membership.

I asked my 8-year-old to tell me in her own words about Club Penguin. She said “It’s this really fun game where you go around playing and earning coins and get to buy fun outfits.” I guess that sums it up! Try Club Penguin for free and tell us what you think.

Party Beans Make Great Favors and Personalized Gifts

Published by under Gift Ideas


A few weeks ago I was introduced to Party Beans, a custom favor company that specializes in personalized favors and gifts. I immediately loved their site. Not only did I make custom Sunshine Rewards tins (which were sent out to our Super Members Plus), but I let my kids design some for themselves as well. What is so fantastic about their site?

First of all, you can order in any quantity. You can personalize just one tin for one person or use the same design for hundreds or even thousands. The more that you order the less they cost per product. But even if you are only ordering one or two, the price is still reasonable. Second, the site was incredibly easy to use. I pulled a picture of my daughter after she got her braces off from my cell phone. Uploaded it and sized it in one minute. She chose a colored background and the colors of the Jelly Belly jelly beans that she wanted. Done!

I can think of so many uses for these. Looking for an inexpensive but personal way to thank teachers? Upload a picture of your kid holding a sign that says “thank you” and then choose jelly beans in the school colors. Need giveaways for a church group, scout troop, or other organization? Upload a logo or use one of their designs. So many ways to customize I can’t even tell you–jelly beans, mints, M&Ms. Tins, barrels, glass jars. It’s fun, creative, and unique.

Below is a video of my kids showing the Party Beans creations that we ordered for them. It probably took me about 10 minutes total to design both tins, including uploading the pictures. See what you think and then visit Sunshine Rewards for Party Beans cash back and deals!

Vogue Wigs Video Review

Published by under Beauty and Fashion

I have to say at the start that I am terrible at anything related to hair! I have two styles–scrunched up, air-dried natural curl and poker straight with a flat iron. I can’t do up-dos of any kind and my ponytail is so fine and limp that I’m too embarrassed to ever let people see it. So I was intrigued when Vogue Wigs offered to send me a product to try. Because I’m considering dressing up as Sookie Stackhouse from True Blood for Halloween, I decided to try this Wrap Around Pony:

In the video below you can see how incredibly easy it was for me to integrate the wig into my own hair. The color match is almost perfect, and all I did to figure out which one to get was to look really closely at the color samples on the Vogue Wigs website and read the descriptions. It took me less than a minute to snap the wrap into my hair and pin it. Although I didn’t show it in the video, I could have used my curling iron or flat iron to add some wave to the ponytail when I was done.

Whether you are looking for a full wig, bangs, extensions, or a wrap like the one I tried out, Vogue Wigs has a huge selection. It’s really amazing to me how real the hair looks. I’ve had “costume” wigs before that were clearly fake and honestly a little tacky. My own daughter didn’t realize that I was wearing this one!

Check out Sunshine Rewards for Vogue Wigs coupons, deals, and cash back. Don’t underestimate the confidence boost that a new style can give you!

Jelly Belly Chocolate Dipped Candy Review

Published by under Food and Drink Reviews

Jelly Belly is branching out! Although they are best known for their jelly beans, they have been taking their candies to a new level by dipping them in chocolate. Chocolate covered jelly beans and orange slices? If you know me, you know that I am a chocoholic and these are right up my alley.

The Jelly Belly Chocolate Dips are various flavors of jelly beans dipped in chocolate. Flavor choices right now are mint, coconut, orange, raspberry, strawberry, and very cherry. You can buy them in individual flavor bags or the combination gift box seen here:

The consistency of the dipped jelly bean is a little bit like a chocolate covered raisin or chocolate covered dry cherry only with a yummy flavored jelly bean on the inside rather than a dried out grape.

The Dark Chocolate Orange Slices are Sunkist naturally flavored candy orange slices (made with orange juice) and are also covered in dark chocolate. These aren’t the sugary cheap orange slices that you get at the gas station but rather the juicy ones that actually taste like an orange.

You can order both chocolate dipped products from the Jelly Belly website in different combinations and sizes. You’ll get the best prices when you buy in bulk. You can find Jelly Belly coupons and cash back at Sunshine Rewards.

Watch the video below to see my review of the Jelly Belly Chocolate Dips and Dark Chocolate Orange Slices. I shared with a few friends after I made the video and now they all want to order them!
