Christmas is a time for HAKUNA MATATA.

I went to watch the Lion King the other day in Broadway.
I am so in love with them.
Lion King is a amazing movie, show and their songs are just so great.
At this time of the year we should all be happy and thank God for our families, our health and our work.
2008 is ednding and we probably had bad experiences but we still here, let's keep going and hope for the best for 2009.

This is Cool As Well!!!

What An Awesome Value!!!

I have finally turned my mum into an Area shopper. I have stolen her away from ToysRUs and all the other crappy chain stores. She now spends all of her money on presents for all our friends and family. Her now third trip to the store, today I was the ultimate sales girl and I encouraged her to spend, spend, spend! She bought a bunch of really cool puzzles, but a special mention goes to the Melissa and Doug Fresh Start Wooden Peg Puzzles Value Pack! I think it is by far one of the coolest learning puzzles that I've come across thus far. The pack includes one alphabet puzzle and one number puzzle. They both have really fun drawings of a train conductor transporting a bunch of animals. Under each peg are the corresponding words to describe the picture on the peg. All said and done, it's really fun. I know the lucky boy who is going to get it and he is going to love Santa a little bit more this year!

Something Good...

Thanks to Patricia, the ultimate Area Girl @ Seventh Avenue!
It is really nice to hear customers say nice things about us. Like everyone, we do sometimes have off days, but generally we all do our best to provide the best service possible to all our customers. Even to the ones who can be a bit mean to us. I don't remember what I did to warrant today's remarks but I'm glad I did it. I hope all our customers continue to enjoy shopping at Area, as we try our absolute best to create the best experience possible!

Something good happen today......

I like to hear good things from people.
Honestly complains are terrible.
Why do always people look at the bad things and not at the good things....
Well, well, well, I had two people today that walked into my store to tell me how good AFEISHA was with them during their visit at the 5th ave store.
That's so nice.
I love to hear things like that.
So i guess AFEISHA has a 100 today but sorry to tell you I AM THE BEST...
Just kidding!!!!!!!!!
Today you were......hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What do you think LORETA??

Stay Warm w/ our new Volcano Kits

It's either unseasonably warm or bitterly cold these days, but here's something to make your holidays reliably HOT!! We just got these Volcano Kits and other science kits from KidzLabs! Can't stop the fizzy!

SNNOOOWWWWWWWW!!!

Walking around in the snow with that special someone, hot chocolate and a handful of dreams would have been a great way to enjoy the snow today...I hope someone got to do it :(

It's About Poppin' Time!!!!

Puchipuchi Virtual Bubble Wrap toy from Bandai Asovision

Written by: Michael Keferl on June 24, 2007 at 8:14 pm | In Technology & Gadget Trends |

It’s a compulsion, and a secret pleasure. We lost track of the times we’ve either hoarded or had bubble wrap snatched right out of our hands to be popped mercilessly, either one-by-one or by the impatient “wring-out” technique. It’s a natural law that man loves to pop bubble wrap.

In comes Bandai to take all of the fun out of the pop by making it fun, with the new PuchiPuchi (プチプチ) infinite bubble wrap toy.

Puchipuchi in Japanese is the sound of a little pop as well as the name for bubble wrap, so the toy basically named itself! Designed to mimic both the sound and feeling of popping little plastic bubbles, PuchiPuchi can be carried around as a key chain for popping. Their slogan “Anytime, anywhere, forever…you can puchipuchi” basically says it all.

You may think that popping bubbles is boring, but the toy makes a sound effect every 100 pops, including “door chime”, “barking dog”, “fart”, and “sexy voice”. To add even more excitement to the craziness of Puchipuchi, there’s a 1:1000 chance that you’ll get a “puchi lucky” toy that has a heart-shaped bubble. Is there a better way to make your friends jealous?

Bandai designed the toy with the Puchipuchi bubble wrap company, so it’s almost guaranteed to be the most realistic bubble wrap simulator on the market. Pop.
