A must-have gift for kids!

Okay--I'm really excited about this one. As you probably read yesterday, my sister and I did a lot of shopping at the Del Mar Fair on Tuesday. We came across these "fish tank bears" and instantly fell in love--these would be the perfect gifts for Maverick and Madison (or any young child, for that matter!). These are such a cute idea and I think they're adorable. The kids haven't gotten them yet--Rachel bought them for their Christmas presents (no--its never too early to start Christmas shopping ;)), so I cant tell you how they liked them--but I know that they are going to be so excited Christmas morning when they open these up.

These will be in Toys R Us worldwide this coming October--so keep a look out--but you can easily buy them online (or if you live local, drop by the Del Mar Fair and buy one--they're offering buy one-get one free).

So what are they? They're teddy bears with fish bowls in their bellies. You can choose which bear/animal you want, t
hey come with LED nightlights to put in it, you can choose which color rocks you want, you get a package of bows (if its a girl, they velcro to the ear; if its a boy it velcros to the neck for a bow tie), you get a fish tank net, and a little tree to decorate your fish bowl with. The bear/animal you choose comes with a voice recorder that records up to 10 seconds of audio--the perfect amount of time to say "good night! I love you!" or whatever you want to say. The fish bowl itself is plastic--so there's no risk of breaking it, and the bear can easily be taken off of the bowl for cleaning. The bear comes with a hole in its mouth that leads down to the fish bowl--so to feed your fish, you just put the fish food in the bear's mouth--a perfect task for your kids to help out with. 


We bought this white bear for Madison :)

We bought this brown bear for Maverick :)



These are all of the different animals you can choose from

Here's how easy it is to assemble / disassemble 

These are the different options for the fish tank rocks and the bows
Like I said earlier, we got the white bear for Madison and got pink rocks and the cheetah and polka dot pink bows to accompany it. For Maverick, we got him the light brown bear with green rocks (his favorite color) and the red/green/blue/orange bow ties for his bear. We'll go out and buy some fish the day before we give these to them so that when they open them up, they can use them right away.

Dont want to get your kid a fish? Use it as a piggy bank.. or a candy bowl.. or just a night light. This thing has so many different uses--and its adorable. Obviously its not a fish tank to sit on your kitchen counter--we fully intend on these sitting in the kids rooms.

...adorable, right?! I'm obsessed with these--and I know the kids will be too. If you want to buy one and you aren't in the San Diego area, stop by their website and pick one out--you wont regret it ;)
