FAO

Now here is the Toy Company of them all F.A.O has been around for years you may have noticed their awesome toys popping up in Macy's if you don't live in NY and never seen them before. These toys will make anyone wanting more! They have everything from huge stuffed animals to karaoke machines. I love the puppets they carry and the unique dollhouse that you can build yourself. This year my girls are wanting a doll house so that really caught my eye you can customize it to your child's age level to make it more fun and safe for them.

Here are a few more of my faves:

The FAO Schwarz Big Piano is Famous FAO fun! They'll be ready for the "big" time with this soft, 24-key, dance-on piano. Kids can dance their own tunes, play 10 prerecorded songs or record and playback original compositions in a choice of 8 instrument sounds. 70" in length.

Bring the safari into your room with the Gentle Giant Giraffe from FAO Schwarz. This giant plush stuffed animal measures 48 inches tall.

This fuzzy, fun-loving stuffed animal Giraffe stands up all on his own. With sturdy legs and a cushioned back, he is just waiting for you to hop on and take a ride. Just like in the wild, he is covered in large irregular patches of yellow to black fur separated by white, off-white or dark yellowish brown background.

Giraffes usually live in savannas, grasslands or open woodlands. They are vegetarians and can store water to live for extended periods in dry, arid areas. When this stuffed animal Giraffe needs to take a bath, his body is surface washable.

 

 

With or without a big red bow, this flashy coupe is undeniably a gift of which childhood dreams are made! From the signature color, logos and characteristic lights, right down to the alloy wheels, this mini roadster is a battery-operated replica of the highly coveted performance vehicle. Complete with 12-volt rechargeable battery and charger, this little cruiser has a running time of approximately 1.5 hours, with a speed up to 5/6 MPH, in both forward and reverse. Little auto enthusiasts get a feel for the real deal with foot-pedal accelerator and brakes, rubber covered wheels and steering wheel with horn.

 

There is sooo much more you can find here so go check it out and see what they have but be careful you will be wanting it all!

Happy Holidays,

Santa Clause Is coming to Town!

What can I say Christmas is around the corner and everyone is already rushing around looking for gifts. Stores are already playing the music and people are running red lights like never before! Why cant we all just slow down and enjoy this time of year? While I'm at home baking cookies and making Thanksgiving Turkey some of you will be circling the ads for your first stop for BLACK FRIDAY shopping! Hats off to you I've done it for the past 6 years and it is fun rushing around finding that item you or someone has been wanting to get for a ridiculously cheap price but frankly I cant stand the lines I know no one can but this year I'm going to take the easy route and just sit at home with my family.

Now some of you are buying all your presents online and its hard to find special toys so I came up with a short list of toys that every child should have and will love. From Classics to Modern things that they will remember when they get older.

                                      Now this site is pretty cool http://yottoy.com here's some info on it:
