This week I got a shipment from one of my sponsors, CloudPets™. I thought I was going to be able to test out my puppy dog, then wrap it up as a gift under the tree for my 5-year-old. I think I was a bit ambitious – as soon as she saw his fluffy ear out of the corner of her eye sticking out of the box, she knew what he was!
Foiled again! That’s what I get for trying to be frugal with Christmas gifts. 🙂
CloudPets™ is A Message You Can Hug™
Ever since my kids saw their first CloudPets™ commercial, they were smitten. It’s such a cute idea and they’re surprisingly simple to use.
All you need for it to work is batteries (for the bear) and the CloudPets™ app on your phone and a loved one’s device. The app is available for Android and Apple devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod. You can learn more about the app on the CloudPets™ website.
Here’s how it works:
- Loved ones (grandparents, traveling parents, aunts, etc) can record a message for your child using the CloudPets™ app. They can be anywhere in the world, as long as they have access to the app.
- You receive the message on your CloudPet™ app, approve it, and deliver it wirelessly to the CloudPet™ (you need to be within 30 feet of your pet for this to work).
- When the CloudPet™ receives the message, his red heart will blink, alerting your child to a new message awaiting. Your child can listen to the message by pressing its left paw.
- Your child can record a return message by squeezing the right paw. The heart will blink while the message is being recorded. Press the button again to stop recording and automatically send the message.
My favorite feature of CloudPets™ are how secure they are – I can choose who can send messages to my children and also get to approve every message sent. With our children’s ever-growing exposure to the digital world, that is very important to me!
Adorable Gift for Kids – CloudPets™ Animals
We tested our CloudPets™ puppy at home (my husband pretended to “go out of town” in the next room), but we’re really excited to use it when he’s actually on a business trip and to send grandparents messages. We don’t have any close family in town, so this will be such a sweet thing for our kids to use with family that lives far away.
CloudPets™ are available in as six different adorable animals – elephant, kitty, puppy, bunny, bear, and unicorn.
A CloudPet™ would make a lovely gift for just about any child. My children are ages 8, 5, and 3, and they all loved it and were able to use it properly (with a little fighting over who got to use it first, of course!)
I think even older kids would like it, because they also miss grandparents when they’re not around. I think I would have liked it until I was at least 14!
CloudPets™ App Features
CloudPets™ are so much more than stuffed animals. Not only can you send personal messages back and forth, but your kids can access stories, games and lullabies. The game Barnyard Sounds is perfect for little ones and it’s pretty neat when your CloudPet™ tells a story.
Where Can You Get CloudPets™?
CloudPets™ retail for $29.99 and are available on CloudPets.com, Amazon, WalMart, Toys-R-Us, and Target. Target.com offers free shipping to active duty military families.
