Default Hotest Toys of the Season

Like other grand parents (maybe ?), I've been trying to obtain this year's hot toy, Little Live Pets Gotta Go Flamingo ! If you have not seen this, just google it, LOL, our generation will scratch our heads, but believe me, if you know young children, anything that has a theme around "natural human functions" gets their attention (The children's book, Everything Poops, is beloved by teachers and children everywhere, the kids just LOVE it). But, the point of this is I finally was able to find two of these "scare birds" without having to resort to secondary market where people have bought them all up and now hold grand parents hostage for $60, $80 and now it see some have gone to $100 ! I received my order (got them for the regular retail price $31.95 and the postage, so happy, will have two delighted little girls..... but now I have received my original order that I was notified was out of stock and would not be available. In short, I now have FOUR, not two. I can return them I am sure by paying the return postage, but decided I would keep them a few days in case others here are like I was, madly dashing around trying to find this "must have" a grand child has been asking for. If so, send me a message and you can have one of my spares ( the total price with tax and shipping was about $34.82 )

I understand that the "baby's first chainsaw" item is not expected to be a big hit this year.

That reminds me of a scene from The Office, when Karen was holding a baby and Creed said, here you want to play with these, and holds up a string of paper clips. Karen said, you can't give those to a baby, and creed said, that's alright, I have plenty. For those who don't know, Creed was the original guitarist of the Grass Roots from '66 to '69.

Creed is second from the left.

I my honest opinion, I would much rather see a youth learn how to use a chainsaw than a cell phone.

Walmart online has them reduced to $19.95. You may want to return all 4 and order them for that price.

This is very sweet of you. As a grandma who has spent many hours searching for “the” toy in years past I applaud you

How about doing something nice and DONATE it to a family that can’t afford to buy one
