Hunting for Shopkins Series 2!

So we know they are available in selected retailers in the US but I can't seem to find any information about a release date for here in the UK :(

I contacted Moose Toys a few weeks ago to ask when these would be released here in the UK and they put me in touch with the UK distributor who informed me "Series 2 will hit the stores in early December" YAY!!! so if you have children be prepared to be rushing out for some of these series 2 once they hit the stores!

So what is the deal with Shopkins??

Well, to many children (and a few adults like myself) these super cute little groceries are just too adorable to pass up on, you simply have to buy a single Shopkins Basket and squeal in excitement when you open the little yellow packet and see those cute little eyes looking up at you and you're hooked!! My first Shopkins experience came a few months ago and since then I have become totally addicted to their adorable little faces, also the thrill of possibly finding an elusive Limited Edition Shopkin is thoroughly addictive.

As well as the Shopkins Baskets which contain 2 surprise Shopkins you can also buy 5 packs with only one surprise Shopkin and 12 packs with 2 Surprise Shopkins - the 12 packs are guaranteed to include at least 1 of the Special Edition 'Frozen' Shopkins. You can also purchase Shopkins play sets which contain Exclusive Shopkins which aren't available anywhere else other than the sets. In series 1 you can buy the Shopkins Small Mart, large shopping trolley, bakery stand, fruit stand and a tin vending machine, each set comes with it's own exclusive Shopkins.

The little cuties are separated into small groups, each group contains a mixture of common, rare and ultra rare Shopkins which are super sparkly. The groups to series 1 are: Fruit and Veg, Pantry, Bakery, Sweet Treats, Dairy, Party Food, Health and Beauty, Frozen (Special Edition) and Limited Editions which are extremely hard to come across and from what I have heard they are numbered. 

Series 2 seem to have continued with the super cute themes and even include fluffy baby themed Shopkins, you can have your own cute fluffy nappy :) 

I will post more updates as and when I find information about series 2 :) 

300 YouTube Subscribers!!!

Yesterday we reached our 300 subscriber milestone on my YouTube Channel :))

I have recently become self employed after my husband was signed off from work last year with a long term medical condition in which he needs a lot of support from me, so going out to get a 'regular job' wasn't a possibility for me. I have been putting every spare minute I get into my channel and hitting 300 subscribers has really helped boost my confidence in my channel. Not only did I achieve the subscriber milestone but we also passed 20,000 views on my channel too. I wish it was possible to personally thank each and every one of my viewers and subscribers and tell them how much it actually means to me. 

As some of my subscribers from the beginning may have noticed I have upgraded my entire equipment over the past 6-8 weeks. I started by recording my videos on my mobile phone but as soon as the summer passed and the amount of natural light dropped to only a few hours I needed to upgrade everything. I purchased a new digital Camcorder after asking advice from another fantastic YouTube channel - Toy Review Land. I now use a Canon Legria hf R57 digital camcorder and I have also purchased a professional studio lighting kit, which means I can record in full 1080p HD quality. 

I am very excited about the future of my channel and I am currently working on quite a few festive videos :))

Who is Surprise Egg and Toy Collector...

Hello everyone, my name is Sarah and I am Surprise Egg and Toy Collector. I live in Yorkshire, England with my husband and our 3 year old son. I started my YouTube channel towards the end of August 2014 primarily for my son as he watches endless toy channels on YouTube so I thought it would be cool if his Mummy could make some videos that included his own toys, and some of my own - even though I am a 30 something year old Mummy I still love playing with dolls and toys of all types. I have a huge Momiji doll collection and my hubby has a minimates collection that is close to rivaling my doll collections. I love all things pretty and kawaii, especially Hello Kitty so you will find lots of cute, kawaii videos on my channel.  You will also find things from the geeky side of me like our monthly Loot Crate subscription box, some special edition games and lots more.
