What can make a normally sane adult stand in the rain for 9 hours in the middle of the night waiting for a store to open, or turn a mild mannered mama into a maniac who will push down other mothers to get there goal? Wacky but true every year there is some sort of must have toy to hit the shelves before Christmas. Think...Tickle Me Elmo.
In 1984 shortly before Christmas Cabbage Patch Kids, created by artist Xavier Roberts arrived and created chaos in toy shops across the land as parents competed to buy one of the sought after dolls. My mom had a friend traveling in California bring home a Cabbage Patch Kid Doll for my sister and I.
Here is my prediction for this years craze...ZhuZhu Hamsters. If your smart (or if you cave to all the pressures of Christmas advertising every year) and you have little kids you will go out and buy one right now. Mark my words.
“Our Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters are truly unlike anything on the market,” says Craig Ceranna, Marketing
Director of Cepia, LLC. “They drive around in little cars, zip up ramps and spin down slides, run in their
hamster wheels, and get into all sorts of crazy situations. But those are just the vehicles! The hamsters
even know what room they’re in. They make toilet-flushing or teeth-brushing sounds when they crawl
into the bathroom and sleeping noises and alarm-clock sounds when they go into their bedroom. They’re
completely interactive as if they have a mind of their own. Zhu Zhu Pets not only appeal to young children;
they charm and fascinate people of all ages.”
