Most in demand UK toys for Christmas 2011

2011-11-16T13:24:00.002Z

Have created some mini toy sites for Christmas. Bit late but you never know! Check out some of the top toys below. Each site compares prices and stock from each UK retailer.

It hardly seems possible but Christmas 2011 is just around the corner. Your children are probably already dropping hints about what they would like from Santa but, if you are still stuck for gift ideas, here are a few suggestions that are guaranteed to delight your child.

1. Baby Annabell Version 5

Baby Annabell is a perennial favourite with little girls. She looks, feels and sounds like a real baby and, when she cries, those real tears will tug at your heartstrings. See the joy in the face of your little girl as she takes care of her own baby doll. Watch as she feeds her, burps her and gently rocks her to sleep in her arms.
But you’ll need to be quick. Baby Annabell Version 5 is sure to sell out fast so to avoid disappointment check with your toy store today. Online prices vary from £35 - £50 so shop around for the best deal.

2. Lego City Police Station Set

Destined to be a bestseller again this Christmas, the Lego City Police Station Set will give your son hours of fun. From the award-winning Lego factory, this set will challenge your son’s creative abilities and fire his imagination for years to come. Added to his other Lego City sets or standing alone, the Lego City Police Station Set will bring a world of adventure to your front room.
Retailing between £59 and £72, this set will move off the shelves quickly so hurry to make sure your son doesn’t miss out.

3. Moshi Monsters Plush Toys

Moshi Monsters Plush Toys have been a hit in the United Kingdom since the new range was launched in early 2011. What child can do without one of these adorable little monsters? There are so many to choose from and everyone has their own favourite, but at such reasonable prices why not let your child’s Moshi Monster Plush Toy have a companion for those rare occasions when it is left alone for a while?
There is a whole range of Moshi Monster Plush Toys available with prices starting from as low as £6. But some stores are already running out of stock so don’t delay. Get yours today.

4. Barbie Puppy Water Park Playset

What Barbie fan wouldn’t be delighted to receive the Barbie Puppy Water Park Playset at Christmas? Complete with a Barbie doll and her two puppies, the set includes a water-slide and even a London-eye style Ferris wheel ride. Barbie even has a hose to give her pets a watery surprise.
Barbie Puppy Water Park Playsets are already becoming a hit with Barbie lovers and will be high up on the Christmas gift list for many girls. Prices vary considerably but start at around £15. It’s well worth shopping around for the best deal.

5. My Keepon Dancing Robot
The My Keepon Dancing Robot is possibly destined to be the toy of the year this Christmas. Your Robot will respond to sound and dance to music and will even adjust its dancing style to the type of music you play. Pat him or tickle him and he will react with a variety of movements and sounds. The My Keepon Robot Toy will keep children and adults amused for hours on end.

Retailing at around £39.99 (although at least one on line retailer is asking £52.99), the My Keepon Dancing Robot will prove harder to get as Christmas gets closer so start looking online or for a retailer near you now.

More Top Toys:
Let's Rock Elmo. Elmo Rocks!
Bop It! XT - Always popular at this time of year.
Kidizoom Twist
Nerf Vortex - Shoot your parents in style.
Air Swimmers - Remote control flying shark things. Odd.
My Fijit Friends - Disturbing Toy that responds to you and dances to music.

New Artemis8 Website Launched

2009-11-18T15:05:00.007Z

I really should update this blog more. It has been a poor effort so far this year. Maybe I will start at the end of 2009 and follow this through to 2010? Only time will tell!

Anyway, recently I have been dealing with the launch of my company's new website.

Artemis8 - From Search to Sold.

Artemis8 are a digital marketing agency, specialists in paid search and web design.

It has been a long time coming, but has been well worth the wait. The site has been built in wordpress, and it will be exciting to learn what content management features we can use with this platform. The new look is also evident on A8's twitter and the shiny new business cards.

Anyway, take a look and tell me what you think! And yes, I need a new photo!

Adidas Porsche Design S3

2009-06-14T13:55:00.002+01:00

I have just purchased these bad boys.

I think they will make me at least as fast as a Porsche, but about 10 times cooler. I always wished to buy a black Porsche 911 every Birthday until I was about 11, so thiss is the next best thing. Grey is the new Black.

Silver LG Viewty on 3 Mobile

2008-03-04T12:35:00.003Z

LG announced a silver version of the popular ku990 viewty last month on their blog. They call it a 'dark silver' viewty, heh.

Silver is perhaps the most popular colour for mobiles alongside black so it is not too much of a suprise but LG have not simply just painted the viewty another colour - they have also given the model a technical makeover:

“The new ‘Dark Silver’ Viewty has all the quality of the black version but in addition to the stylish stand-out colour, we have re-designed the jog wheel to make scrolling the menus easier following consumer feedback. Viewty gives consumers the opportunity to own a phone that makes a statement, with a new high-tech finish that sleek, smart and complements its overall design,”
Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company

More colour choices for the lgviewty will be launched later on this year. I predict a girly pink edition at least!

You can currently get this handset on a 3 mobile contract.

3 Mobiel have a special offer running at the moment - £7 off a month on their mix n match 1100 tariff. This offer is online only!

"Going live from March 4th to 10am Friday (March 7th) with an offer of £7 discount if you sign up to an 18 month contract on Mix and Match 1100.

This offer is exclusive to online for this period of time"

Check out the LGu990 in silver from 3. You might aswell get the 1100 tarriff if you are thinking about buying one, as it is only a few quid extra a month for a load more mins and texts...

The Silver Viewty Lite is now available at Vodafone for just £10 a month!
