Man’s best friend is about to become a dream come true for kids this year as Hasbro introduces the FURREAL FRIENDS puppy called Biscuit, the newest, most realistic pet to ever join the FURREAL FRIENDS family.

Kids will love to interact with this adorable life-size golden retriever – through highly innovative voice recognition technology, Biscuit will obey six different voice commands including “sit,” “sit up and beg,” “lie down,” “give me a paw,” “speak” and “do you want a treat?” Just like a ‘real’ dog, Biscuit will move his head and ears, blink his eyes, wag his tail and bark. Biscuit will also sniff his ‘bone’ and chomp on his tasty treat.

Biscuit will also respond to touch; kids simply pet their new best friend on the sensors located behind his ears, on his head and on his back, and their new pal will wag his tail to show his delight.   Additionally, Biscuit includes an innovative ‘bark-back’ feature that will enable him to respond when he is spoken to! Biscuit comes complete with his very own comb and dog ‘bone.’

Elmo Live is the latest toy of the well known sesame street character Elmo. TMX Elmo was very popular amongst young children and was one of the best selling christmas toys in 2006. Elmo looks as though he is actually speaking as his mouth opens and closes just like the real muppet, Elmo, from Sesame Street. His head bobbles back and forth as he speaks. He waves his arms, sits and stands, even crosses his legs when telling stories and jokes, singing songs and playing games. Children can activate elmo with a tickle or a squeeze of Elmo’s foot, tummy, back or nose.

Buying gifts for friends and family can be such fun! And it can be so easy nowadays as well with websites specially designed to give you some great gift ideas.

Remember the days of traipsing from one shop to another, looking for inspiration, spending hours and then going home empty handed?! It was so frustrating. But thanks to the internet, gift buying isn’t like that any more. Now you can browse through hundreds of products within just a few minutes and by typing in your search criteria you can narrow down the gift ideas you see.

Buying gifts on the internet is so quick and easy. All websites which sell online should now be properly protected so as to ensure that when you pay by card the details you send over the internet are encrypted. What this means is if they are intercepted they can’t be used by someone else. In fact, shopping on the internet should be just as safe as using a debit or credit card in person on the high street.

So what kinds of gifts are people buying on the internet these days?

Many of the most popular gifts are items which are smaller and lighter because they can be easily and cheaply posted. After all, what would be the point in spending £50 on a gift only to find you have to spend another £20 to post it because it weighs so much, or because it’s very large?!

Hinz and Kunst Nut and Bolt Men are really popular right now and a great gift idea for both men and women. These little, handmade metal models are very collectable and there are a great many designs available. Whoever you’re buying this gift for is bound to appreciate the amazing handiwork that goes into making these Nut & Bolt Men. Models available include planes, cars, bikes, trains, hobbies such as fishing and sports, all manner of professions, musical instruments and more. You’re almost guaranteed to find an appropriate one!

If you need a gift idea which is a little more soft and cuddly, how about a Me To You Bear? These adorable grey bears with blue noses have become hugely popular and are available in many different guises – birthday bears, special occasions such as graduation, mother’s day, father’s day, Valentine’s day and more. And in addition to the plush, cuddly bears there are also figurines and a range of Me To You branded gifts such as keyrings, stationery and mobile phone pouches.

The gadgets and toys market has also really taken off over the last decade, so if you’re looking for a fun or out of the ordinary gift idea, browse through the gadgets pages! USB gifts, for example, make great gifts for work colleagues and are really affordable, or how about a slightly more useful gadget such as a slogan or colour changing mug – another great gift idea for work colleagues!

Whether you’re looking for some great gift ideas or you already have the perfect gift in mind you can be sure that you’ll find the best gifts on the internet!
