The holidays are here...oh dear
If there's one sign that the holidays are just around the corner - and that retailers are as desperate as ever to get our dollars - it is the coupon I just received for the latest version of Tickle Me Elmo.
Like a watered down movie sequel, this once popular holiday toy keeps coming back.
The latest incarnation of this red fuzzy toy is called Elmo Live. It is similar to past versions. He laughs, giggles, tells stories and jokes. Oh what fun!
The toy is not on sale until October 14, but if you plunk down your money now you will get $10 off the purchase price of $70 at KB Toys. Use coupon code ETELTN98. It is good until September 18, 2008. The toy requires 6 AA batteries. (Toys 'R Us and other retailers are also selling it for $60.)
Watch Elmo Live do his thing in this video, below.
If I were in the rat race to get my kids the best toys, I would save a few bucks and go with Up, Up Elmo, which is selling for $20 at KB Toys. Or there is Singing Pizza Elmo for $24.
