The only thing my daughter has repeatedly asked for (she'll be seven the week after Christmas) is a Fijit friend. They are running pretty pricey now, but I got it with a coupon at Target for $30. I checked on ebay when I bought it and the pink one was going for $60, I almost sold the thing.
Personally, the thing reminds me of a Furby mixed with a little Satan, lol, but it seems like it's a "hot toy" ... I think it's going to be a room only toy, because I really really hate this thing.
