What are the VR glasses? $15? Already at Marshall's? What do they do? Do they have to be attached to a game?

Thinking the same thing.
Wireless beats were a huge hit and oddly an electric blanket i bought on impulse.

Thatbis so cute.

Last year my seven year old bought my ten year old a farting pig from the dollr bin. It was made of rubber and when you squeezed it the thing made a raspberry sound from the butt.That thing was a huge holiday hit. Kid gifts are cute.

Congrats for getting one! We tried for weeks but always got to the store right after they sold out.


Apparently production is ramping up so soon anyone who wants one should be able to get one! If your kids play a lot of games and shop at a local game store frequently, they may be able to get a sales associate to call them (or you) the second they are in. Our friends also bought one but it ended up being a dud and not working at all. Hoping they can get a replacement one from Nintendo soon!

Flop:

Your teenager is still into Melissa and Doug?


Visiting through recent topics. I do think it a bit odd that op phrased it as "toys or games" though. That sounds like she's asking for a younger crowd - one doesn't think of teens and tweens as being into toys.

I know, right?!

I guess better here than on the threads trying to decide how much intenet/phone usage is appropriate for a teenager/high schooler. I love when the moms of preschoolers start postig on those types ot threads, calling people terrible parents for allowing their 16 year old to have a smart phone
