Why are Singamajigs the hottest selling Christmas toy this year? And what makes them so special?

Sinamajigs are cute zany stuff animals that chatter and sing in perfect harmony with other Sing-a-ma-jigs when you press on their tummies. These singing doll sensations made by Mattel, a Fisher-Price company are expected to be the number one Christmas toy for children under 10 years old. Once you experience the whimsical magic of these cute little animals, you will want to buy a Singamajig for your child. Sing-a-ma-jigs come in a variety of colors and all sing their own unique song. Each color of Singamajig also represents a different type of animal. For example: the Red Singamajig is a Bear that sings “Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone” and the Pink Sing-a-ma-jig is a Rabbit that sings “Skip To My Lou”. With a squeeze of their hand, the Singamajigs sing in perfect harmony with each other. Your children will find hours of entertainment with these toys. They are interactive and a whole lot of fun to play with.

Silly Bandz Bracelets or Knock-Offs... Does it matter who makes them??

What's with the craze for Silly Bandz Bracelets? I'm not quite sure, but I do know there are no social, demographic, economic, or age requirements when it comes to buying, wearing, or trading them. They are by far, one of the most affordable novelties we've seen, costing anywhere from a buck for a pack of knock off bracelets, to about $3 for the real Silly Bandz brand name.

These stylish bracelets that are worn on your wrist (or ankle for that matter) come in an assortment of sizes and shapes and the sky's pretty much the limit when it comes to the design. You can find Silly Bandz Bracelets shaped like pets, zoo animals, sea creatures, dinosaurs, rockbandz, princess, western styles, and the list goes on and on.

Silly Bandz Bracelets just started getting popular shortly before the release of summer vacation. Children started to sell and trade these little silicon bracelets with their friends. It was obvious to us the first time our 7 year old daughter went to school with a Unicorn Silly Bandz Bracelet on her wrist and came home with a Princess Castle bracelet! She now has a fantastic collection... but for some odd reason, she still yearns for the one she hasn't seen, or for the one she doesn't have yet.

Whether they're Silly Bandz bracelets, Goofy Bands, Zany Bands, or half-a-dozen other makers that have capitalized on the millions being made off of silicon bracelets, kids ranging from 5 to 15 really don't care who makes them as long as they have a dozen of these cool bracelets on their wrists. My wife and I know this because we have asked a few kids at our church if they were wearing original Silly Bandz Bracelets or the knock off brands and the kids had no idea. They were just happy to display them and you will rarely find a child wearing just one on their wrist or ankles. You'll find a massive clump of bandz that the kids are happy to display and show off.

How popular are original Silly Bandz Bracelets right now? Every time we have gone to Walmart since the beginning of July, they have been sold out. You would think a supplier could keep up with the supply and demand of such a simplistic idea. I mean, what do you need to manufacture these things?... A mold and some silicon?? But obviously the magnitude of sales are definitely a direct representation of the lack of product. If I were you, I would snag up the original name brand Silly Bandz Bracelets now and put them on the shelf for Christmas. Because, when things are hard to get people will pay a premium. Just look at what happened with the Zhu Zhu Pet last year. They were originally $9, and ended up selling for over $50 a hamster during Christmas!!

Taiwan has Hello Kitty, the US has Zhu Zhu Pets and now, the new Zhu Zhu Pets Babies!

I don’t believe American business men will start wearing Zhu Zhu Pet clothes or bring their lunch to work in Zhu Zhu Pet lunch pails (as the Taiwanese people do with Hello Kitty items). America has a long way to go before it considers itself a "culture of cute" as well.

Zhu Zhu Pets are selling out everywhere!

Buying a Zhu Zhu Pet can be quite a task, especially around the holidays. This is because having a Zhu Zhu Pet or a Zhu Zhu Pet Baby is all the rage these days. Kids want them more than any other toy available on the market. This is due to a number of reasons.

1. The first Zhu Zhu Pets were launched in Phoenix and were such a hit that Cepia, LLC (a 6 year old company with 16 employees, based out of Missouri) re-launched more products to fit the demand of the consumers and distributed the Zhu Zhu Pets nationally.
2. Retailers initially made small purchase orders in fear of the economic recession, and for fear of over-stocking the item.
3. Once the Zhu Zhu Pets began selling out nationwide, it was a mad race for retailers to order more before Christmas rush.

Zhu Zhu Pets months after the Christmas rush are still one of the most in-demand toys for young children across America. There's a good chance that your child received a Zhu Zhu Pet during the 2009 Christmas season. In fact my 6 year old daughter just had me put fresh batteries in her Zhu Zhu Pet for a Monday morning Zhu Zhu Pet race at he school. This shows just how popular and in demand these little toys have become.

No matter where you seem to look, Zhu Zhu Pets, their babies, and their accessories are flying off the shelf in the US and abroad. This can make it hard to get a hold of Zhu Zhu Pets or accessories you want to purchase. But if you look in the right places you can still find these little guys. Online shopping seems to be the best place to find these little guys (rather than driving around town). Sadly, retailers of Zhu Zhu Pets are often out of stock.

Amazon sells Zhu Zhu Pets in their store directly but appears to still be a bit pricey. You can also buy Zhu Zhu Pets here. They are in high demand, but because there are a variety of vendors on this site this allows you to buy a Zhu Zhu Pet at a great price!! Buying at online retailers, instead of searching all over the city seems to be the best way to save time, money and frustration.

Owning a Zhu Zhu Pet or Zhu Zhu Babies is really good for children. They will not have to take on any of the hard responsibilities that come with owning a real hamster. It's also worry free (and stick-free) that their child will not accidentally harm their pet hamster.

Owning a Zhu Zhu Pet is inexpensive and you can buy all the accessories in order to build yourself the perfect Hamster Habitat! There's all kinds of fun accessories like; baby strollers, a wheel and tunnel, surf boards, boats, cars... you name it!! Everything that you would normally find available for your pet hamster in a pet store, only cheaper.
