Gift Ideas
Tue Nov 30, 2004 11:46 pm
I'm going Christmas shopping for my friends in real life that play Neopets (all two of 'em XD) but the only problem is I HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE WHAT TO BUY @_o;
One of them is obsessed with writing, drawing, manga, and grey cybunnies and the other is obsessed with kaus. I definitely can't get either of them a shirt because I don't want to ask for their shirt sizes and this is only 6th grade so they'll probably grow a ton more and won't be able to wear the shirts more than 3 or 4 times.
Could someone help me find gifts for each of them that are in circulation (or went out of circulations less than 6 months ago... my nearest Limited Too rarely gets visited by any Neopets players), are NOT found at Wal-Mart (Toys R Us, Borders, Target, Limited Too, and Claires are all acceptable places), and are small enough to fit in my backpack at school?

Depends how much you can afford, I dont live in the US so I dont know what those shops sell but do they sell neopets merchandise you could perhaps buy them a plushie or some stickers or something. Or if you are good at art you could draw them a picture of their fave neopets and it wouldnt cost you a penny!!

well, i don't know how old or what gender your friends are, but when i visited target recently i found they had A LOT of neopets stuff. action figures, plushies, the plastic talking pet dolls, board games....i got my little sister an interactive talking disco aisha 
i believe there is a section on neopets that lists all their merchandise if you haven't looked at it yet http://www.neopets.com/shopping/newcatalogue.phtml
good luck

Well, you have the voice activated pets, the figurines, and the regular plushies as well as the voice activated plushies that are at Target and Walmart. Borders has regular plushies and pet pet plushies. Limited too has some adorable mini petpet plushies and the plushie key clips. Sorry, I'm not being very specific here. o.0; There's just a bunch of mechandise in circulation that you could get.
The disco Aisha stuff is cute, you just have to have a fondness for pink. The petpets are small enough to fit in your backpack as are the plushie clips. THe large voice activated plushies are a little big annd are about $25 each. The plushie clips are about $6, regular plushies $8 and the petpet plushies are about $7.
I can take a picture of some of the stuff that I have recently bought so you can get an idea of just how it looks and how big they really are.

They're both 11 year old girls =P

Sadly my Target doesn't carry very much Neopets stuff, and Claires, Limited Too, Borders, and Toys R Us are all out of town (my mom absolutely hates Wal-Mart, even though it's right down the road from Target...)

Nah, they both despise pink.
By the way, all the plushies I see at my Limited too are $12 unless they're on sale.
Also, I've skimmed through the catalog but haven't found anything interesting... I'll keep looking, but thanks for the suggestions!

I don't know if this was mentioned, since I'm too lazy to check right now, but maybe you could get your Kau buddy a Spotted Kau plushie? They're awful cute, as well as still in stores, I believe. 
For your Cybunny friend, I don't really know. What other pets do they like? Faerie Cybunny plushies are still out, but that is like about as different as you can get compaired to Grey.

At last resort I know I could get her a Neopets magazine issue.
