Becky Quick (Anchor) 02:09.150

nostalgia trade has always been a big deal and maybe it's too much to say that two thousand and nine throwbacks are nostalgia but you do have these zuzu hamsters that i remember what's the new latest upgrade with what what they're kind of pushing this year

Marissa Silva (Editor-in-Chief) 02:25.190

yeah it's definitely scary to think that the early two thousands are nostalgia i saw a reel the other day that said anyone born in two thousand is old and i was

Marissa Silva (Editor-in-Chief) 02:53.720

customize them completely and watch the hamsters kind of zoom around their little play space i love a no mess pet too that's a great one for caregivers

so this is amazon and walmart if i can find a toy does that tell me it's not the hot toy is there anything that's sold out already

Marissa Silva (Editor-in-Chief) 03:10.550

no this is an interesting year for toys especially due to the tariff situation so a lot of products in launch until much later in the year some of the hottest toys were only newly available in november so toy makers are doing everything that they can to keep products in stock

Marissa Silva (Editor-in-Chief) 03:26.190

they're working really hard to ensure that consumers can find all the best stuff still all right

Becky Quick (Anchor) 03:31.110

the very creative way to say slime right so gooey gooey is really cool it's playing up the viral trend of get ready with me videos kids love beauty products but we don't necessarily want to put niacinamide in the hands of an eight year old so gooey gooey is here to kind of

Marissa Silva (Editor-in-Chief) 03:58.390
