I don’t know whether to buy my small daughter a furby for Christmas,
she always wanted one but I am caught in two minds.
I know if I do, she will get ever so happy and play with the interactive
toy for a week or so and then probably like most kids get ever so bored about it.
I have heard that they can get ever so annoying after a while especially
since I’ll be left with it.

They are quite expensive, I saw one yesterday reduced to £25 but I could buy her something much better with that money from a toyshop. But, a Furby would make her happy.

But, I do have my reservations for buying a furby I heard that they
can drive people mad, and need constant looking after and feeding.
You need to spend a lot of time teaching them how to speak English and some
don’t even learn.

However, don’t kids get bored of most new toys and perhaps a bit
of responsibility will help her especially teaching it English.
She’ll be able to transfer the words she knows to the toy
and I can always take the batteries out if I get so bored of it.

If anyone has a furby please can you let me know by leaving a comment if you think I should spend my money or not.
I am going Christmas shopping again on Saturday, so I will let you know
if I bought the Furby or not.
I am beginning to get aggravated by it already and it’s not even here.
That’s from reading a few bad reviews about them on Dooyoo.
