I recently read through a Top 10 Toys List for 2013 and this is my take on the Toys out there from a mother's perspective....
Rainbow Loom - Looks fun and creative for a while BUT I can wait to suck up all those elastics in my vacuum cleaner!!
Minecraft Game - First you come out with a free app where your child builds stuff for hours and then we ask them to come to the table to eat...the kids goes back to his or her beautiful design of their ultimate dream home that has a big beautiful library, huge swimming pool, beautiful flowers and bedroom that only a child could dream of and the design is GONE!!!! Their dream house is DELETED!!! So then you buy the app because you feel so terrible and NOW you come out with a Video game for a console?
Beanie Ballz - Feel free to purchase if you want more dust collectors in your house. They are stuffed animals, they don't do anything - except collect dust
Aquabots - They look awesome - maybe for bath time! How long does the battery last to keep it in the tank? Nothing like your kid waking up to the morning to a fish laying on it's side!
Lego - I LOVE Lego, don't get me wrong....but seriously WHY is it so over priced? There should be a warning label on the product - Have you even stepped on it in the middle of the night?
Furby - REALLY!!!?!!! I worked in retail and we decided to open one to show the customers....this is WORSE than a colicky newborn...I'm hungry, I'm sleepy - I'm AWAKE at 4am!! Perfect gift for soon-to-be parents....
Skylanders - money grab.....something new each year and isn't compatible with last years edition
Snowtime Anytime - get your a$$ outside and play with your kids! Really? Indoor snowballs?
Every year I seem to have to purchase a toy that's on someone's list and say "Hmmmm....I wonder how long this is going to last!" But is it worth seeing your kid unhappy? What are your nightmare gifts that your kids are asking for this year?
