If you’ve got kids they may have asked for you to get them one of the most popular toys for the 2009 holiday season, the Zhu Zhu pet hamsters! Unfortunately, with popularity can come scarcity as these furry little electronic critters can be quite difficult to find in toy stores. Some customers and parents have reported being lucky enough to find them in stores like Wal Mart, but only if they go extremely early on shipping days. Others report they never can seem to find where to buy Zhu Zhu pets, and that they must resort to searching online to find the toys.
If you’re wondering about Zhu Zhu pets and where to buy them, the best recommendation is going to be online. Unless you are one of the lucky few to secure these toys out in the real world, it’s far easier, less stressful and time-consuming to simply order them through various sites for a little higher price than they go for. This is the best way to make sure you’ve got at least one of the furry little hamsters with a mind of its own sitting under the Christmas tree on December 25, 2009.
Of course, Black Friday is approaching quicily and some stores might be offering them in sales advertisements. With these big sales, come big crowds as well, making it an all out brawl in some stores over the hot toys. In the past people have been trampled as they fought over toys like Elmo or Cabbage Patch Kid dolls. Make sure to get the latest Zhu Zhu pets buyers information to help you in snatching up one of these new toys.
Don’t know what Zhu Zhu pets are? They’re basically plush little electronic hamster toys. They have special buttons on their backs to put them into “Explore (adventure)” mode or “Nurture (loving)” mode. There’s four Zhu Zhu pets currently, including Num Nums, Mr. Squiggles, Chunk and Pipsqueak. It’s said they each have their own personalities making them unique in how they interact with their various surroundings. Those surroundings can be your own home, or playsets and other accessories you buy for the world of Zhu Zhu pets.
Some basic tips if you do want to find where to buy Zhu Zhu pets in the real world include calling around to various retailers. Places like Target, Wal Mart, Toys R Us, and other stores at the local mall are the best start. Call and find out when shipments may arrive and be prepared to make the trek early to purchase a hamster if necessary. Also, it may pay to make friends with some people working in these stores, as they could come in handy and put one aside for you. If all else fails, another idea is to try writing to Cepia LLC, the company responsible for this craze. Explain your situation, how much your child needs one of these, and they just might allow you to buy one directly through them. While this isn’t a proven way to go about things, it’s worth a try!
Again though, the easiest way to make sure you buy a Zhu Zhu pet hamster is simply to head to various online retailers and pick one up, but early so you have it in time for the 2009 Christimas holidays!
