From the toy innovators at Mattel comes one of the best Christmas gifts this year; the Radica Fijit friends. According to the company, Fijit friends were brought to life when a rather goo like science experiment was affected by the sounds of music. From that ectoplasmic mess four friends were born; Sage, Logan, Serafina and Willa. These four soft, brightly colored and friendly creatures’ main goal is to become every girl’s best friend.
Marketed towards girls four years and older, the four Fijit friends have unique personalities to help you pick one that has the same interests as your gift recipient. The soft head and body allow kids to poke and squeeze the character for sounds and surprises, such as giggling, lights and others. The robotic figures love to talk, dance, laugh and be around their human counterparts.
The Radica Fijit Friends are far more advanced then other robotic releases in previous years, helping to cinch their title as one of the best Christmas gifts for 2011. With word and music recognition, the Fijit Friends are programmed with over one hundred and fifty phrases and jokes and they all respond to thirty commands. Making them even more unique, the four friends have a feature that allows them to “pick-up” on television shows and commercials. A girl may be watching her favorite show when a Fijit Friend starts to respond to it.
No girl’s toy is complete or can be considered a best Christmas gift, unless there is some form of dancing involved. Fijit Friends love to dance, pure and simple. With four preprogrammed songs and the ability to identify a music beat to adjust their rhythm, the friends will dance the night away. If it is time to stop dancing and start sleeping, simply tell your Fijit Friend goodnight. The robot has lights in its soft bodied belly that light up as it falls asleep, making it the perfect friend and nightlight for younger children.
Even though each of the four different colored Radica Fijit Friends has a unique personality, the makers have also allowed for individualization. The ears on each figure are removable and you can purchase separate accessory packs tha come with unique ear styles. In addition, the colored accessories can be mix and matched with any of the Fijits, allowing girls to have a completely customized friend. The accessory packs also include ear jewelry for the Fijit, while providing a friendship bracelet for the human counterparts.
The best Christmas gifts this season are embracing technology and fun. Radica Fijit Friends are priced at $49.99 and can be found at numerous store and online retailers. When you bring home one of the four Fijit Friends this season, you will be ranked among the buyers of the best Christmas gifts for a lifetime to come.
