Xia-Xia are skitter-scattering, pitter-pattering, loveable, crazy crabs with shells and kooky friends to collect and trade. They combine the silly charm of a real hermit crab with an imaginative, playful twist.
Xia-Xia, pronounced Shah Shah, are being sold on average every seven seconds in the United States. Priced at $6-$12 these toys are becoming a craze and are appealing to the kids much in the same way of recent Christmas must haves but this time they are much more affordable… if you can buy them.
The range features four crabs with 12 changeable shells which can crawl along and each has an extra mini-toy.
My Keepon
This little cute robot loves to boogie down to any type of music you play. It doesn’t matter if it’s a cd, an instrument you play or your clapping hands. It’ll keep moving and grooving til the music stops. It comes with touch sensors all over and will react to touch, poking or tickling by showing you his mood and trying to find where the poking is coming from. Just like a real pet, when My Keepon wakes up, it will immediately try to grab your attention.
The My Keepon was one of the most popular requests in the run up to Christmas 2011.

Who doesn’t like LEGO right?

If Ninjago is not your thing they have really overhauled the current series of packages available to suit and specially tailored girl-related ranges.
Four young ninjas against a Skeleton Army … the skeletons don’t stand a chance. The ninjas are trained in the ancient art of Spinjitzu; a powerful martial art where a ninja moves so fast, that he becomes a tornado of motion.
