Scruff-a-luvs
Scruff-a-luvs are adorable fur ball, rescued pets. The pets come in pink or blue and untangle in water to reveal your puppy. Find us Scruffy, Make us Fluffy! These unloved and abandoned pets are in need of your help! When buying your Scruff-a-Luv, they arrive as a sad ball of matted pink fur, but once you bathe them, dry them, brush them and love them, you will discover your puppy! Available mid September.
I’m just going to say this, there is nothing that can tug on my heartstrings like a rescue pet. I have 3 rescues and they are the most loving companions. The Scruff-a-luvs are just the most gorgeous toys that will teach kids about adopting and taking care of what may look like an ugly pet.
Shopkins
I can’t even start to describe how much my niece bugs me about my Shopkins… she collects them! The only ones I couldn’t bear to part with was my Little Cutie Cars… they are just the most adorable things on wheels – and I would never give them up.
Shopkins are great little gifts at an affordable pricepoint. From the small collectible Shopkins, to the world of Shoppies and now Shoppets, the Shopkins universe features different themes for every season, sparks the imagination and provides endless hours of enjoyment. Shopkins fans can continue to grow their collections with more characters and additional playsets that all connect to each other to build a complete Shopkins world.
This season sees the launch of Shopkins’ Season Nine – Wild Style, which introduces the Shoppets. They are adorable little pets for the Shoppies dolls and are larger than a Shopkin, but smaller than a Shoppie.
These furry Shoppets come in different designs, such as Pupkin Cake the puppy, Ambear the bear and Kitty Crumbles the kitten who accompany the Season 9 Shopkins on wild adventures around their hometown of Pawville. Join in the adventure as Shopkins and Shoppies discover the Shoppets world of Pawville, where life isn’t just awesome, but “pawsome”.
This latest range also features an array of new Shopkins. There are over 11 Shopkins Wild Style tribes to collect and they feature different finishes including colour change, glitter and jeweled. There is also the ultra-rare Shimmery Unicorn Shopkins tribe.
2018 also sees the launch of the Shopkins Small Mart Range. Now fans can go on a Shopkins™ spree and they can shop to their hearts’ content in the Shopkins Small Mart universe. The shopping themed playsets include a delivery shute, treadmill registers, check-out counter, shopping trolleys and more.
Something top secret is happening in Shopville. Shopkins Lil Secrets is another range to look out for and will be available in stores in October. Hint: they are little playsets that Shoppies can play with.
Fans of Shopkins Happy Places will be pleased to discover that the house and furniture-themed range will be added to, with new rainbow themed toys and playsets. Everything in Shopkins Happy Places is centred on tiny furniture and home accessories and features the Petkins. The Lil Shoppies dolls that are included with the Happy Places playsets are the new cute kids on the block in Happyville. Playsets include Kitty Kitchen, Dreamy Bear, Bathing Bunny, Slumber Bear Party, Bunny Laundry, Mousy Hangout, and now, with the new range, there will be plenty more to choose from and collect.
Shopkins Cutie Cars have surpassed expectations and continue to be a hit in terms of collectible toys. These die cast vehicles are as cute as the Shopkins and each car features its very own Shopkins character in the driver’s seat.
Pikmi Pops and Cake Pops
You won’t be able to resist unwrapping a Pikmi or Cake Pop – I can promise you that. Inside you will find a scented little plushie and other goodies.
Created by the same company that brought Shopkins to the world,Pikmi Popsoffer multiple ways of play. The Pikmi Plushie can be displayed inside the lollipop or hung from its dangler string on a school backpack, favourite bag, spiral notebook or pencil case. It can be part of a collection, and it can be swapped with other Plushie friends.
The Pikmi Plushies come in a variety of sweet scents, ranging from chocolate and bubblegum to watermelon. There are over 45 mini Pikmi Plushies to collect, including Fluffy Ultra Rare and Shiny Limited Edition Pikmis. Part of the fun is that you don’t know what you will get inside until you unwrap it!
Cake Pops is a new line of collectibles that ticks the boxes on several current trends by combining the unboxing appeal of the Pikmi Pops with the satisfying appeal of the slow-rise squishes, all packaged in a colourful “cake pop”.
Seriously, whomever came up with this should be tickled silly!
Baby Love

When she drinks her bottle or sucks her dummy, she delightfully opens and closes her eyes, while her mouth moves realistically. Patting her on the back helps her burp like a real baby. Rocking her from side to side makes her feel sleepy. When she cries, tear drops start to fall from her eyes. She yawns, closes her eyes and begins to breathe gently.
