Hi MaxiMouse, i see you are on the hunt again to help with the must have toys this year.

Well i definately won't be on a mad hamster hunt again this year, they were a great source of entertainment during the xmas holidays and have never been out since. my OH said they were the biggest waste of money ever.

I'm absolutely stumped this year as to what to buy my DS, he doesn't know what he wants, He is 10, so any suggestions would be great.

We are thinking a meccano set, and some air fix models as he likes "Doing" things.

What about an Addictaball - I bought the large one (you can get small and medium too) for my 9 year old god son. At 138 levels, it should keep him occupied and out of trouble for a while :rotfl:

Also several on ebay.

My son has got the square version of that and to be honest did not last as an interest for very long, he still got it but it never comes out:D

His friend already has an addictaball and they love playing with it to see who can get to the furthest level - so that's why I bought him one so he can practice at home.

Have used this price promise everytime I have gone it... got really excited as one of the items I wanted wasnt on the shelf.... BUT they found it out the back - great for having items in stock

Thanks for all your replies, Well after Digging around in the Argos book with DS last night he had a good look through it, and then he exclamed " Mum i really don't have a scooby doo what i'd like for christmas"

So that makes my job a little simpler really, so long as in another 2 weeks time he doesn't decide he wants one of this years must have toys, like he did with the hamsters last year.

I love that addictaball, and will definately be sourcing one of those out, i'm sure that will give the whole family lots of fun.

Hi all.

For anyone that is on the hunt for any meerkat related toys or gifts I've found a pretty good site that has some great deals on all things meerkat related.

www.meerkattoy.org.uk

It seems to be all the best priced meerkat gifts from the web on one site and includes things like adopt a meerkat for £9.99, plus some cool little meerkat lego thing, puzzles, keyrings, books, dvd's etc.

It seems to be updated with new things quite frequently so may be worth keeping an eye on.

Hope this helps someone.

On second thoughts the meerkat experience looks like more fun, plus that means i can get one for me too and have an excuse to act like a child for day.
