2008 Top Christmas Toys: Fur Real Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup

Alright, so now I can focus on some more of the hot toys of 2008 so we can make sure to buy happiness for our children, because that is what it is all about, right? Ok, maybe not, but still...I think it's just one of those things that is interesting just to see where trends go as well as costs.

In the case of the Fur Real Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup (good grief is that a long name), the concept is great! According to the official product description, "This oversized puppy responds to affectionate touches, voice commands, and motion with playful barks and realistic movements. Kids aged five and up are sure to love having a puppy of their very own."

So it's kind of like one of those dolls that are supposed to be lifelike, only with a dog, right? What? There's more??

* Playtime is going to the dogs and this playful pooch is leading the charge! The lovable mutt features voice recognition, obeying six commands, including, “Sit”, “Speak”, and “Lie down”
* Tell your furry friend to give you his paw and he’ll raise his right or left paw ask him if he wants a treat, and he’ll nod and whimper to let you know he’s ready for his dog “bone”
* Biscuit my lovin’ pup pet will even “shake” at your command, lifting his paw to your hand or sit up and beg, just like a real pup
* Biscuit my lovin’ pup pet wags his tail and barks, too, to let you know he’s ready to play
* Use the special adoption certificate to register your pet online and ensure that you and this adorable pup will be friends forever pup pet comes with collar, tag, brush, dog “bone” and adoption certificate

The thing is that this gift, while a good one, has a pretty exorbitant price tag---if you can get it for less than 170 bucks, you're getting a deal. This is a real advanced toy, but I don't think the vast majority of people are going to be even thinking about this at this time with the US economy. But....you never know, I guess, eh?
