Product lines include Cosmetics, Bath & Body, Hair Care, items for Babies, Pets, and more. I am a huge fan of theirs because of their core values as a company.

LEGO Easter Chick
Add colorful LEGO fun to your Easter celebrations with this buildable Easter Chick, featuring a rotating head and body, plus movable wings and toes. My daughters and I had so much fun building this! We are a LEGO family and so they were thrilled to see this arrive in the mail. We had to build it immediately – and I was shocked that my 4 year old could do it almost entirely by herself! She definitely takes after mommy because she wanted to display it and not play with it. Although, my 3 year old convinced her it would be fun to run around the house with it yelling “quack!” What a great alternative to candy in your little ones' Easter baskets!
