2013 Holiday Gift Guide – Interactive Furry Fun with Furby Boom

Furby Boom

One of the hottest toys of the Christmas season is furry, funny, and fresh: introducing the Furby Boom.

I’ve heard about the traditional Furby and how much fun it is for kids, but the new Furby Boom takes it to the next level by combining regular Furby play with a fun interactive app. It really gives Furby a mind of its own and my kids love the unknown and unexpected adventures.

Furby Boom is bright and colorful and comes in a variety of fun patterns—my favorite is the pink and white polka dot with electric blue ears. Furby Boom is interactive and responds to whatever you say. The tricky thing is that it comes knowing mostly Furbish, the official Furby language, but the more you talk to it, the more English works its ways into the responses. I love the little details, like that Furby Boom knows some fun slang words so it can really interact with your kids on their level. One of my favorite parts of the Furby Boom is that it dances to any music you play and purrs when you tickle its feet!

The Furby Boom is fully interactive and has twice the responses as the original Furby. It even remembers the name you give it. There are lots of personalities to a Furby and they change depending on how you interact with it. A Furby Boom is always an adventure of unexpected fun!

Plus, Furbys interact and talk with each other, so the more you have the bigger the Furby party gets. So fun! The little details and quirks of the Furby Boom make it fun and a toy that never gets old because there is always something new and unexpected.

But playing with a Furby Boom isn’t just fun and games—there are some responsibilities for every Furby Boom owner. Download the free Furby Boom app to check on your creature’s health and wellbeing, then feed it, bathe it, and keep it happy. The better you do, the more eggs Furby will lay that can be hatched into little Furblings. There are 48 Furblings to collect and play with on the app. So really, a Furby Boom is nearly 50 toys in one! When you collect enough Furblings on the app, you can get the golden egg and a special surprise. You can also use your virtual Furblings as a team to play games like Furby soccer (called “furball”, of course) on the app and even build a city for them.

Furby Boom is recommended for ages 6 and up, but it really is fun for the entire family. Who wouldn’t want to sit around the table together seeing what the Furby Boom will do next? This toy is full of surprises and is like having a super fun, mess-free pet in the house.

Retailing for $60, the Furby Boom is fun for kids (and adults) of all ages and is sure to last for a long time. It makes the perfect furry fun for anyone on your Christmas list.
