Before our two granddaughters from Texas arrived, we bought a couple of inexpensive toys for them to play with before Christmas. Among the toys we bought were two of these tops:
Three dollars each, and they come with an extra set of 2032 batteries. We couldn't find anything like them on Amazon.
You start to spin them, and they automagically stabilize themselves and spin for hours before the batteries wear down. And they flash lights, too.
I don't know how excited the girls were about the tops, but the adults were really intrigued by them.
So on Christmas Eve, Ms. Eclectic and I went back to the neighbourhood Dollarama and bought out their inventory for extra gifts for everyone. Here they are, along with the two our granddaughters already have. Amazing things!
Geez it's fun having the family around for the holidays.
