Webkinz

Do you have these in your part of the world?

I must say these are the going things for the past 4 years and kids just never get sick of getting them as gifts.

Just wanted to pass it along that they are wonderful gifts for ages 6 and probably up to 8 or 9, for girls and boys.

we got one last year for Hannah for Christmas, she was five months old

I haven't actually looked at it online yet but my nieces daughter loves hers

My daughter has been into these for a few years now, and just got more for her birthday and still isn't tired of them. My son has started playing it this year and loves it too.

BTW, looks like you can buy them in the UK.

MIL got a giraffe one for Claire for Christmas. Although I might "care" for it until she's old enough to do so!

They expire after a year, btw.
I worked at a store that sold them. They seem to have died down here in Alberta. We did sell MILLIONS of $$ worth that first year they were huge. I had the Koala before H was born and she has the christmas dog and she got a free one at her birthday party from the play place (she picked the duck)

I had no idea what you were all on about, but I just realised I saw the duck and wanted it!! Weird..
