Boy was there excitement and jealousy in this house when I was given this opportunity! If you are a friend or regular reader, you probably know I have 3 boys, one is a baby and the older two are 5 and 7. So, the guys have to take turns helping mom review boy products. This specific review was aimed to boys ages 3-5, so it was Army's turn to help me. Boy was E Dawg jealous! We may be making another one of these soon...
With that I am sure you are dying to know what has caused all the excitement at the Beckee's Deals house! This did:

It is a SAH-WEET Custom Hot Wheels truck! Oh yeah!! CUSTOM!! Army got to pick his style of car/truck, choose a picture to put on it and choose a little sentence to put on it. We thought he might pick a picture of himself and put something like "Army's ride" or "Army rules!". He didn't! That sweet little guy went with this:


Could you see the picture and words? The picture is of his baby brother and him and the words say "I love my Family"

By now you are surely asking yourself "How does one make such a prized possession for my little kiddo?" Well, I am happy to report it is pretty easy to do! You just go to Hot Wheels Customs Website and follow the 6 easy steps on the page to make your own Hot Wheels Custom. It will be to your house in a few weeks (So Christmas shopping should be done soon!)

What did mom think?

Super easy to make. The 6 steps on the website are easy to follow and the website was easy to navigate. We did have to get a picture that we could frame in the available space for the truck he chose, but it was easy to fit the picture in. The whole process of making it on their site was easy!

After making it, the time frame to get the truck seemed like it was going to take forever, but it is a CUSTOM item after all. And in the end, it really only took a couple weeks to get here! It is super cute and Army (and all the other kids) love to play with it! It would be a SUPER cute Christmas gift! I am thinking of making ones with the boys pictures on the top and names on the side just so there is no more fighting over which truck belongs to which child! It would be well marked on their own Custom Hot Wheel! Cute idea, right?!

More importantly, What did Army think?

(I am writing what HE says verbatim)
"It was easy to make online with mom's help. When it came to our house I thought it would be cool to play but mom made me wait to open it. (Mom note-just to take pics for the review) When I opened it, it looked like exactly how I remembered I made it just for me! I love my truck and my family and that is my final words!"

My final thoughts:

Go check out the Custom Hot Wheels options here and see all the fun things you can do! I think any little guy would LOVE this little personalized gift!

Did you become a fan of Hot Wheel when I posted about it here? If so, you might have noticed that today they posted the following: "We’re so glad you joined us on Facebook! Over the past week, we worked to put together a ‘thank you’ and were able to score you 15% off your entire purchase at our Mattel Shop today until April 5th. Use this code: HWFB15 when you go to (weblink). We hope this helps you get a jump on your Easter shopping."

If you are not a fan yet, you can probably still get the 15% off if you become a fan here. And you can check out their website here.

FYI-looks like it might pay off to become a fan of Hot Wheels on Facebook. They posted the following status yesterday:

"Hey, everyone – It was a huge week for Hot Wheels on Facebook! We’re pumped that you all decided to become fans and we’re working on a cool “thank you” for you all. Check back next week and thanks again."

Go here to become a fan of Hot Wheels and hopefully there will be something cool next week!! While you are there, you should stop by here and become a fan of Ah...Deals...Beckeesdeals as well!

Thanks for the heads up on this Combat Clippers.
