So as I’ve previously discussed here on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”, I was once again among the toy industry masses and learning about all of the new awesome products from some amazing companies thanks to the Toy Insider’s annual “Sweet Suite”. The event was held over at Chelsea Piers and in addition to photos and some social media, I did several videos for the YouTube Channel. While these clips are resident on the Channel, I’ve culled them together for our website readers as well.

It was only a couple of weeks ago when I attended my second ever Toy Insider “Sweet Suite” which was held at Chelsea Piers. This is an amazing toy preview event and if you didn’t see the coverage that I posted you can click HERE to launch a tab and see it all. Now one of the cool parts of the “Sweet Suite” is that after all is said and done you get sent a SWAG box. Our box recently arrived and was MASSIVE. It was also about 24LBS which was a shock.

Exploring The Toy Insider “Holiday Of Play” 2016; Part 1

Back in July, I attended an event called “Sweet Suite” which was a part of the larger “Blogger Bash” conference and was set up by the fine folks at Toy Insider. If you’re new to the website and missed those posts please click through onto THIS LINK so you can learn what it was all about. It was a good time for sure but now we are diving in to another event that they do called “Holiday Of Play”. To give you a better idea of what this one is, I reached back in time to their own website where it was lined out as…

“HoliDAY of Play event is where 120 bloggers, vloggers, and members of the press will meet face-to-face with some of the top companies in the toy industry and get hands-on experience with the best toys on the market.”
