Zhu Zhu Pets.
If your as old as I am, then I’m sure you will remember the Cabbage Patch Doll. Even though the toy was ultra cute, for the grown ups who had kids at that time you’d be more inclined to remember the desperate struggles, panic stricken Mums and Dads went through to get they’re hands on the dolls ready for Xmas.
All indications are showing that there is a similar trend happening with this years Xmas phenomenon called “Zhu Zhu Pets”. At the time of writing this (Nov 2009) some of the largest retailers in America are already reporting shortages of the toy. There are even parents out there who are pre-ordering their Zhu Zhu Pets in readiness for this Christmas.
If you have little-uns who are clambering to get they’re hands on a zhuzhu, then you’d be best advised to get in quick and order now, to save either disappointment or the manic rushing around many parents end up doing trying to get their hands on the one toy the kids really want.
So what is a Zhu Zhu Pet? Well they’re cuddly little hamsters who each have their own specific personality and sounds depending on what settings you use. They are battery run and very life like, they will run around a floor in many different directions and thankfully unlike a real hamster don’t make a mess. Your children will be able to have a pet and look after it without you having to worry.
But! They will become in short supply as we close in on Xmas. So where can you make sure you get your hands on one? Ebay is an excellent resource and also Amazon Online. Many retailers on ebay and especially those who understand market trends have purchased mass supplies in readiness for the rush for Zhu Zhu Pets and will push up the price, Amazon has to be your first and best call. With Amazon you are dealing with areputable supplier and they are reknowned for fast and efficient delivery. The prices are increasing and will only go skyward as we get closer to Christmas but you can still find the odd good deal, many pets are currently retailing for around $20.
If you want to see that beaming, overjoyed “I absolutely love this” smile on your kids face on Christmas morning then you had better get in now, better late than never!!
