Are your kids into Webkins?

[Jenny]

Okay so its this big popular item around here apparently, because I went to buy one for a bday party and they were sold out EVERYWHERE! T had a hockey game out of town and I went into a coffee shop and they had three of them. I picked up two for the girls Vday pressie (usually I don't buy them anything but they were super cheap here) and they told me that they got 55 in the day before and had THREE left!!

Have you heard of them?

here is the site:
www.webkins.com

Its a little stuffed animal, like a beanie baby, that comes with a secret code that lets you log onto the website and raise this "pet". The concept is ingenious, as Tamagochi's and virtual pet shops are very popular and this takes it to the next step :thumbsup

YES!!! Takara is obsessed with hers and she also "looks after" David's because he's kinda young for it. Takara has a horse and David has a monkey :D.

ohhh no we don't have them yet but that looks like a good way to entertain (rubs hands and waits for them to arrive in england)

Beka if you are truly interested, I can hook you up with one ;)

My coworker owns a gift shop with her husband in town and I showed these to her and explained how popular they are. She is now going to talk to her husband and see if they can get them in. If they do, I am going to buy a bunch from them :)

Hmm I have not seen them around here.

I have never heard of them! But I think Dylan and KyLynn would love them! How much are they?

[Jenny]

anywhere between 10 and 15, depending on who sells them. I got them for 10.

Wow! I will have to look into getting the kids one!
