ipods

ipods could be considered toys... very expensive ones... but if you like music there is no better solution out there. why carry around a ton or cds and an old fashion cd player? get up on the times! everyone i know has an ipod. there are also a lot of other cool stuff ipods can do. some can show slideshows of pictures or movies or can be used as storage (external hard drive) for your computer. but the main (and best part) is the music. i can listen to any some i want when ever i want. its pretty amazing when you think about it. there are also a ton of ipod accessories, cases, radio transmitters, docks, speakers etc (which would make a perfect gift for anyone!). there are also many sites advertizing free ipod giveaways etc but most are a rip off. i found one that really works! its fast and easy. you should check it out if you want an ipod but dont want to pay a lot for it!! heres the link- spread it around bc everyone deserves a cool ipod! click here!!

kitty toy

so there are also other types of sweet toys than the ones children play. cat toys. cat toys are generally underestimated and are very fun to play with. you can interact with your cute kittens (help them be good entertainment for guests) or often times they will play with the toys by themselves for hours. the most popular type of cat toy for feline-human interaction would have to be the noisy/shiny toy on a string. preferably an elastic string. one of the most amazing parts of this type of toy is the sweet jumps your cat will do as it plays. anything shiny will usually be good for a cat. especially if it makes noise. krinkley balls are very effective on hard floors but balls will bells work well anywhere (although they can get quite annoying). cats also like toys that get stuck on their claws. it makes it seem like it moves more i guess. one of my cats favorite toys are the twist tys from bread or produce. she climbs up on the chair and nudges it off the edge then pounces on it like it jumped off itself. its really funny to watch. there are a lot of new and very cool cat toys these days. but if you dont have the money or want to go for a more simplistic approach try yarn, yup its an oldie but a goodie.

ridiculous plushes

so there seem to be more and more ridiculous stuffed animals being introduced into the toy market these days. i am not saying that these toys are less sweet than some of the more classic teddy bears and dolls but they are certainly more unique. take pee and poo for example... these cute representations of human pee and poo were originally sold in sweden are are supposed to be for children. but i think these interesting plushes would be great for someone of any age (except for maybe your grandma or something) i cant seem to find a way to buy them here in the states but im sure if you look hard enough you can figure something out. Another sweet toy in plush form that i encountered are giant microbes. talk about turning something bad and gross into a cute lovable little toy. they have allsorts of diseases and health problems from stomach ache and mad cow disease to gonorrhea and syphilis. and boy are they cute. on their main webpage you can buy one for only $5.00-6.00. practically a steal. ive decided to buy one for my friends whenever someone gets sick or has a birthday... or maybe ill buy them all for myself... so you should totally get some. between pee and poo and giant microbes im sure you can find something unique to buy everyone you know!
