Soft Kitty Singing Plush
There is just something about plushies that soften the heart – and the $29.99 Soft Kitty Singing Plush is one of them. This is an officially-licensed Big Bang Theory product, where whenever you press its paw, it will start crooning “Soft Kitty” so that your emotions will be soothed, and no matter how dark the clouds are on the outside, a silver lining would most probably present itself at the most opportune moment.
Measuring 10″ in length, the Soft Kitty Singing Plush will boast a collar that has a little Bohr-model atom tag coupled with the Big Bang Theory logo. You will need a trio of 1.5V button-cell batteries to get this going, forget about giving it some Friskies. At least there is no kitty litter to pick up after, and you need not worry about boarding issues and vaccination jabs when you go traveling. The Soft Kitty Singing Plush is made out of polyester fiber and just like any other self-respecting feline, hates water – so don’t send it to the washing machine, but use a damp cloth instead.
Jump And Learn Trampoline
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, or so the saying goes. Well, if that is the case, why not get Jack (or Jane, depending on the gender of your little one) the $119.95 Jump And Learn Trampoline? Yes sir, this will certainly be useful to work off all that extra energy that the little ‘un has accumulated in a safe and controlled manner. After all, there is no Trampoline 101 the last time I checked pre-school syllabuses, so with the Jump And Learn Trampoline, you know your kid is in good hands.
This indoor trampoline will be able to teach pre-school basics as your kid jumps about, as there is a sensor in the frame which works with an integral speaker, letting the toy tally up the total of bounces as they happen, so that children can play games that teach counting, music, rhythm, recognition, and memory. Apart from that, there is also “musical statues” which challenges children to stop bouncing the moment the music stops, somewhat akin to a trampoline version of Musical Chairs.
Apart from that, you can also insert silly sounds into music, or to concentrate on enhancing one’s counting skills by announcing a precise number of jumps to execute. If all the sound gets to you, just mute it and you’re good to go. Powered by a trio of AA batteries, just make sure whoever uses this won’t weigh more than 80 lbs.
K’Nex Mario Kart lets you build your own racer
Ever wondered whether you had that engineering streak in you? Well, why not put that question to the test with the £14.99 K’Nex Mario Kart that will come in Mario, Luigi and Yoshi varieties? Yes sir, this particular toy will have to rely on your imagination to get all the thrills and spills of a race going on, as there is no engine or controller for you to make sure you reach the finish line first before your opponent. I suppose if you want to collect all three designs, you will have to fork out triple the amount of cash, but if you’re a true blue Mario fan, surely that is not too much to ask?
Nice to know that each purchase will come with its very own familiar in-game item, where they are the banana peel, mushroom or star. While no controllers are available to help you move them in directions that you want, they are still good for a drag race – thanks to a pull-back motorized all round action display for head-to-head drag racing. Those who have trouble fixing furniture from IKEA might want to think twice before putting all 66 parts of this together though…
Award Winning Stroller To Tricycle
When someone describes something as “award winning”, one would most probably think of the Oscars or perhaps, the Grammys. Guess things are slightly different when you drop things down by several notches – case in point, the $179.95 Award Winning Stroller To Tricycle, which is pretty much self-explanatory. This unique toy picked up the Nuremburg Toy Fair’s prestigious “Toy Innovation” award, as it is a stroller which is capable of turning into a push bike, followed by a tricycle after that to suit different stages of your child’s growth. Talk about saving money with just one toy!
Starting from 10 months, children are able to sit securely in the stroller’s padded seat, where they will be surrounded by a metal safety bar and harness, and the full-length back support and stationary footrests will make sure they can rest comfortably for the entire duration of the trip. A handlebar and front wheel are locked in place, letting all steering control fall under the parent’s responsibility.
Different ages will see different stages of conversion, so you can be sure that this gift will be one that lasts for a fair number of years.
Lazer Stunt Chasers
If you have never used a laser pointer to play with a cat, then you don’t know the joy of teasing animals! I recently reviewed a laser pointer from Griffin, and I loved to watch my kids chase the red dot of light.
Now there is a toy that can capture the joy of laser pointer teasing without the cat or the kids. In lieu of them are these cars that will go wherever the light is pointing.
As the name implies, these are stunt cars. So if you want to take these vehicles up ramps for jumps, and even through loop de loops, just aim the beam in the proper direction. There is a video after the jump if you want to see them in action.

Remote Control Illuminated Moon
Some of us during our younger days, when wooing a person of the opposite gender, we would promise the other party all sorts of things – just like politicians do, and most of the time we are unable to fulfill those promises. Among such promises might include the moon and the stars, but here is a chance for you to redeem yourself – never mind the number of years which has passed since then. The £24.99 Remote Control Illuminated Moon could be the answer to your problems – and it is also a suitable night light for young kids.
The name of the device gives the game away, where it will help you keep track of the moon’s phases, never mind if clouds already gathered around the moon to blot out its silvery light. All you need to do is mount this authentic moonscape on your wall, and it is ready to go – where it has been specially programmed to cycle through the phases similar to that of the actual moon. Want to turn it off? Just use the handy remote and switch it off, and if you forget to do so, it has an automatic shut-off function as well. It needs no reflection from the sun, but rather, is powered by a quartet of AA batteries.
Desktop Table Hockey
Life at the office can get rather dreary after a while, so why not learn to spruce and spice things up with a little bit of sport? After all, being seated behind your desk all day long might just prove detrimental to your health in the long run, which is why playing a little bit of hockey could help break some sweat during your lunch break. Of course, since most office buildings are nowhere near the vicinity of an actual hockey stadium, hence the creation of the £19.95 Desktop Table Hockey that requires just two players to get a game going.
This is a stylish and compact mini air hockey game manufactured by Peers Hardy, where it will translate the arcade playing experience to a stuffy boardroom setting. At least you will be spared from all the corny music that is coming out from the rest of the arcade machines in the background, not to mention stale air and cigarette smoke that lingers around. Strong jets of air will blow upwards of this device, letting your puck float on a cushion of air as you attempt to smash it into your opponent’s goal mouth.
Just make sure you have 8 AA batteries handy at all times to keep it powered, and if this is going to see regular use, I would highly recommend rechargeables for the sake of your pockets and environment.
Children’s Configurable Fort
There is nothing quite like the imagination of a child to maximize something as simple as a cardboard box, where he or she turns it into a plane, a submarine, a race car, or even a fort. Well, sometimes you might want to encourage even more creative thinking through treats here and there, and I don’t suppose you can go wrong with the $199.95 Children’s Configurable Fort? Yes sir, this building set will allow your kids to explore their construction skills as they work on tunnels, mazes and forts in different configurations.
Small hands are adequate to snap the panels together, where they can create lengths of wall or wrap-around enclosures. With a total of 46 brightly-colored rigid panels to choose from, they can be reinforced by joint attachment clips which will secure the panels in 90° or 180° segments to make sure that such constructions remain standing even during some rough and tumble play sessions. To put it away, the panels will separate quickly, and can be stacked flat ala Ikea style, stashed away into a carrying case.
Something tells me that this with bunch of Nerf guns would make for an unforgettable afternoon playtime.
