Holly's Christmas's have come all at once with our recent purchase of "Biscuit the Fun Lovin Pup".....
I hear he is now regarded the #1 Toy for Christmas 2008. Since we've had him out of the box, we've had so much fun. He's really life like and performs all sorts of tricks on command.
The official media release states:
FURREAL FRIENDS BISCUIT, MY LOVIN’ PUP
(Approximate Retail Price: $179.99; Ages: 5 and up; Available: Fall 2008)
Man’s best friend is about to become a dream come true for kids this fall as Hasbro introduces the FURREAL FRIENDS BISCUIT, MY LOVIN’ PUP pet puppy, the newest, most realistic pet to ever join the FURREAL FRIENDS family. Kids will love to interact with this adorable life-size golden retriever – through highly innovative voice recognition technology, the FURREAL FRIENDS BISCUIT, MY LOVIN’ PUP pet puppy will obey six different voice commands including “sit,” “sit up and beg,” “lie down,” “give me a paw,” “speak” and “do you want a treat?” Just like a ‘real’ dog, BISCUIT, MY LOVIN PUP will move his head and ears, blink his eyes, wag his tail and bark. This playful pup will also sniff his ‘bone’ and chomp on his tasty treat.
The FURREAL FRIENDS BISCUIT, MY LOVIN’ PUP pet puppy will also respond to touch; kids simply pet their new best friend on the sensors located behind his ears, on his head and on his back, and their new pal will wag his tail to show his delight. Additionally, the FURREAL FRIENDS BISCUIT, MY LOVIN’ PUP pet puppy includes an innovative ‘bark-back’ feature that will enable him to respond when he is spoken to! The FURREAL FRIENDS BISCUIT, MY LOVIN’ PUP pet puppy comes complete with his very own comb and dog ‘bone.’ Six ‘D’ batteries are required but not included.
I got him from Deals Direct - but it may pay to shop around for the best price, as he's not cheap!

It's the babyC cradle, designed by Dripta Roy for Puur Design Studio.
For 2650 Euros - it looks as expensive as it is!

Now we have found a new space, we can start to think of all smart and stylish ways to fill it....
This Offi Kapsule chair provides storage, and an attractive place to sit. It comes in a range of colours and is only $US45!
It seems I'm not the only one who appreciates this smart little piece of furniture either. The Kapsule Chair was named "one of the best product designs of the year" in 2002 as a recipient of the Silver level Industrial Design Excellence Award (IDEA)

It's only a prototype as yet, but this Weigen Stroller has the designer-stroller market sewn up. There is a bassinet feature for the newborn, rest assured, though the hammock is an interesting concept.
If/when this becomes a real-life stroller, we will let you know.

Similar to the canine-inspired chairs we've featured previously, is this doggy lamp.
Much quieter and less messy than the real thing! But probably not as fun....

It was only going to be a matter of time...she heard a Wiggles at a recent kids session and she was hooked!
It's amazing - we've bought a few of their DVDs and she is mesmerized every time we put one on. Luckily, her trance breaks at around the 15 minute mark at this stage.....and that's right when our tolerance runs out. So, it's a harmonious, symbiotic relationship and a great novelty at this stage, as we find her reactions to the DVDs more entertaining than the songs themselves!
It is now only a matter of time, and we will be front row at the concert singing every word and dancing our hearts out. I actually think the dance moves are fantastic.......much needed in this age of childhood obesity.
Wiggles DVDs can be found everywhere. Try Myer, KMart or BigW during the sales for a good deal.
