Offbeat News: A Wild Story

GDA Staff -- Gifts and Dec, 5/24/2011 11:08:25 AM

Hedge End, U.K. - Now that's some realistic plush. Passersby saw a stuffed white tiger in a field in southern England and called the police, thinking it was a real escapee. Police examined CCTV footage, summoned experts from a nearby zoo, interrupted a nearby cricket match and sent officers armed with rifles and a police helicopter. When thermal imaging of the tiger failed to detect any heat, the helicopter went in for a closer look - and the wind generated by the chopper flipped the toy over. For the full story, visit myfoxdc.com.

Kids products that combine high play value and a design sensibility that blends with mom and dad's house are sure winners for specialty shops, who can market themselves as an alternative to cheap plastic imports and their problematic safety records.

EcoGreen

Green products have become more of a staple now. The products are not only good for the environment, today's collections also boast great design.

Just for Fun

Vendors' sense of fun was evident this summer with many offering light-hearted and fun accessories for the home and for the self.
