Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster: Hottest Toy for Christmas 2009

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters are the hottest toy for Christmas 2009. Kids are asking for the hamsters and their house.

The Zhu Zhu hamster and house can be bought for less than $35. Making it a very affordable Christmas gift this year. Especially with many people out of work and needing to tighten the budget.

They are flying off the shelves so fast. Adults cannot find them in stores locally or even on the internet.

Of course they are showing up on eBay and craigslist for large over-charged prices. Higher prices are people taking advantage of adults with begging kids. Every year it happens and I am still amazed that people like to profit off kids toys.

Who is really going to pay $30 for a $10 toy? It seems some people are or this would not happen year after year.

Try not to pay high over inflated prices. It may be tempting to buy off craigslist or eBay to please your children. But do not encourage price gouging.

Remember the day after Christmas they will be all over the stores at normal prices.

Here is a list with what the prices should be in most retail stores.
