One word describes my children’s favourite collectibles and that word is CUTE with a capital C! The Best Furry Friends range has everything you’re looking for to entertain your littles at Christmas and beyond.
The ideal stocking fillers are the Mystery Packs ($4 each) which reveal an adorable creature hidden inside a little kennel. Each furry fashionista comes with their own designer bag and with over 60 BFF’s to collect there is something for everyone. Once my almost 4yo got over his initial disappointment that these particular surprise toys do not come encased in chocolate, he quickly became subsumed with delight at what lay within the plastic wrapping. It should be noted that these toys are designed for kids aged 5+ as the BFF’s are small.
Categorised into Common and Rare BFF’s, as well as an exclusive number of Limited Edition gold and glittery characters in the range; my kids delight in unwrapping each pack to discover what character lies within. The Rare range includes the Furries, the Exotics and the Fluffy Tails, while the Common range hosts the likes of Tulip the Red Fox and Stardust the Pegacorn.
The excitement that comes with the not knowing is something the BFF range captures so well as in almost every product of its range, from the Bestie Packs ($15) to the Deluxe Packs ($15) and Squad Packs ($10), there is the added inclusion of a special hidden bonus BFF.
DELUXE PACK BESTIE PACK SQUAD PACK
Inside the Deluxe Pack you’ll find the inclusion of a special BFF Carrier while the Squad Pack contains a BFF Locket, both with a bonus hidden BFF inside. Not to be left out, the Bestie Pack contains a cool pet travel bag, with extendable handle and inside, yes, another hidden BFF.
You’ll also notice on the backs of the Deluxe and Squad Packs and on the Collectors Guide (which comes in the Mystery Packs) there is a colour code which indicates which BFF’s, fashion bags, limited editions and accessories you can expect to find in your pack. The pink paw shows the possible contents for the Mystery Pack range, blue for the Squad Pack and purple for Deluxe.
THE BESTIE PACK
I know I’m a grown-up but I am a bit besotted by these adorable characters, each cuter than the one before. My daughter, Denny (6.5yo) and son, Noah (3.5yo) have not stopped playing with them since they arrived, coming up with all manner of scenarios to role play with their collection of cuties. Denny has also had the added privilege of opening the Bestie Pack and adding Cassandra and her BFF Dash to the mix.
PAT & CHAT BFF
Your Besties in a Bag; this Pat & Chat plush toy ($40 approx) is perfect for your younger BFF fans, though be advised due to batteries and a long handbag strap, the recommended age is 3+. Oh so soft and featuring 15 sounds, the plush offering from the BFF range demonstrates its broad appeal for children of all ages.
Each BFF pack, with the exception of the Mystery Packs, includes some background story about the characters within, declaring their musical or sporting or scientific interests, among others, to further connect with the children whose homes they are destined for.
One thing’s for sure, whichever BFF you find waiting for you under the tree or in your stocking this Christmas, you’ll be BFF’s fur evaaah!”
