So what are Zhu Zhu pets and what’s all of the interest about?  They’re interactive stuffed hamsters that purr and coo, but each variety also has its own distinct hue and style.

There’s :
Chunk (white), a ‘laid-back surfer with a huge heart’
Mr.  Squiggles (brown) illustrated as a ‘modern-day Houdini’
Num Nums (grey), a very trained sniffer who can sense a carrot a mile away.
Pipsqueak (yellow), small and sweet but an adventurer powerhouse.
And if all aren’t really enough, you can buy every kind of accessories from skateboard ramps and tunnels to go with them.  In that regard, adventure balls and wheels to funhouses, they are a marketer’s – and the sluggish retail sector’s – waking dream.  The query remains, are they yours – or your children’?

The Zhu Zhu Pets collection includes interactive hamsters (Chunk, Mr.  Squiggles, Num Nums, Patches and PipSqueak) and a collection of connectable play sets that may be used to make an altered habitat for these furry little buddies.  In nurturing mode, the hamsters reply to purrs and squeaks, cuddles and mild pats on the nose with coos.  In journey approach, they can explore their surroundings, reacting to stimuli with both sounds and actions.  The hamsters get power from two batteries and all of their artificial intelligence is hidden in their small bellies – for something so high tech, they are very simple to control.

Christmas is coming and many of us are already thinking about what gifts to buy this year. Buying early for Christmas is always a good idea – and that’s even truer this year.

Last year many retailers over stocked. They then had to offer heavy discounts in order to clear the shelves. Factor in the fact that the economic climate is, whilst getting better, still somewhat less than buoyant, it’s easy to see why a lot of retailers have decided to run with relatively low stock levels this year.

It might become difficult to find toys and other popular gift items the closer we get to Christmas. Toys in particular may be problematic. Whilst retailers may attempt to call off new stock in response to customer demand, the fact that most toys these days are made in Asia means that the delivery time tends to be several weeks. Restocking bare shelves may not be a feasible option.

One of the top selling toys thus far this year is Zhu Zhu Pets. These are a collection of five robotic hamsters, complete with an array of toys and accessories, which incorporate artificial intelligence. This lets them interact both with the children playing with them and their surroundings. Zhu Zhu pets were only released in August of 2009 – and kids are going crazy for them. If stock levels are sufficient, then they look like the odds on favourite for this year’s best selling Christmas toy.

They are already becoming hard to locate – and prices are increasing rapidly. You can now find third party vendors on both Amazon and eBay selling them for considerably more than the recommended retail price.

If you can’t get manage to find the latest toy, or if you don’t want to pay high prices for a fad that may well burn out in just a few months, then you could think about a more traditional toy instead. Many of these will not be the latest fad – but the fact that they have withstood the test of time says a lot.

For example, if you were buying for a young boy, a son or nephew perhaps, a train set is always a popular choice. A good Hornby Dublo train set will last for years and will still be giving children enjoyment when the latest fad has fizzled out and been replaced by something newer.

The same reasoning could be equally well applied to old favourites like Monopoly, Scrabble and Lego. These have been proven to be perennial favorites, over generations, and many have adapted to better meet the demands of modern day children.
