Road Trip Essentials With Babbleboxx

17 July, 2017 by KatBp 58 Comments

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Babbleboxx. I was compensated for this post, however all opinions are all my own. 

My family is so excited that summer is here. We always find so much more to do during summer. One of our favorite things to do, is to take family road trips. They are always a lot of fun for everyone. We’ve got a few things planned for the summer. We have already had one road trip where we went to WI Dells and went to a water park. My daughters were thrilled for that road trip. We are looking forward to many more road trips together.

I got this awesome box of goodies from Babbleboxx that are perfect for road trips. These items are sure to keep everyone entertained during these long trips. We all love playing games while we’re on the road. We also enjoy having snacks and drinks while on the road. Some of our ultimate favorite things to do while on the road, would be reading, playing games, singing, watching movies and just chatting.

Check out everything that was included in our box!

Audible

My daughters and I love to read, so Audible is a great choice for us. Being able to actually listen to audio books is amazing! It’s such a great experience. It’s nice to be able to actually hear a book being read sometimes, rather than just reading it yourself. It can be so thrilling when you listen to some of the latest thrillers, which happen to be my personal favorite. You can download the audiobooks from Audible to access from your iPhone, Android device, Fire tablet, ipod or other MP3 players. When you sign up as an Audible listener, you’ll get book credits and access to short programs now playing in channels each month for a low monthly fee.

If you sign up for the one month free trial, you can also get a free book!

 

  T-Rex Strong Tape

The T-Rex tape works great for many things. This product consists of three different layers, which are a tough, thick outer layer, a middle layer of thick, heavy thread and the last layer of double adhesive that is melted through the threads. This strong, thick tape is amazing! It’s weather-resistant as well, so it can hold up in all kinds of weather. I leave this in my car because you never know when you’re going to need it. This strong tape can be used for so many things when you’re on the road. You never know when this would come in handy.

 

Cube-tastic

My family loves playing games while on the road. It’s a great way for everyone to join in and have some fun. If you’re looking for something unique and fun, cube-tastic is it! This is a puzzle cube that uses an app on your phone. It scans the STEM puzzle cube and children will follow the step by step tutorial to solve the cube. It’s great for solving skills, improves memory and develops hand-eye coordination. All of the materials are non-toxic and BPA free.

CUBETRIP – 15% off Cubetastic 

Chops Snacks Jerky

Having snacks on a road trip is a must for our family. Everyone always gets hungry while on the road. Chops beef jerky is a great snack while on the road. My family loves having jerky, so this would be one of our first choices for snacks while on the road. This jerky is all natural and very easy to chew. Most jerky is tough, but not this kind. You can find these products at Amazon, www.chopssnacks.com, Albertsons (In Texas), New Seasons Market and New Leaf Markets (Nor Cal, Oregon), Fairway Markets (NYC), coming soon to Meijer (Midwest)

20% off your first order with Code 5CHN79Z7Q1BE at Chop Snacks

IHOP

When you’re on the road, you most likely will need food. We usually stop at a restaurant when it’s time for something to eat. IHOP is a great place to stop for some food. When I think of IHOP, I automatically think of great breakfast. They do have more than just breakfast items though. I personally love breakfast foods. French toast is my favorite, and that’s what I got at IHOP the very first time I ever went, which was only about a week ago. I have to say that it was absolutely amazing! Honestly it was one of the best french toast meals I’ve had in a long time. I can’t wait to go back to IHOP again. My girls got some other food that wasn’t breakfast food, but they loved their meals as well. I can’t believe we waited so long to go to IHOP. We are all excited to eat their again soon.

For its 59th anniversary on July 18, IHOP is offering guests a short stack of pancakes for just 59 cents from 7 am to 7 pm at participating restaurants nationwide.

 

Now you have some great ideas for when you take a road trip. I hope that you found something from the items from the Babbleboxx that you would take with you on a road trip. My family enjoys all these items, and will continue to go on our road trips with all these items.

    It sounds like you got everything you needed for any trip…snacks and music are a must. I have never heard of that brand of jerky snacks before, I’m going to have to watch for it. We are huge jerky fans in our house. I love Audible, it lets me “read” even when I don’t feel like reading.

    You can’t go wrong with Audible and IHop. I love IHop’s chocolate chip pancakes, they are incredible. I love the fact that you can go to any IHop in the country and they all taste exactly the same, it’s something familiar when you are on a long trip.
