Pee & Poo Stuffed Toys? Not This Xmas, Baby

With markets tanking across the globe and mainstreeters worried about jobs, I’m thinking this holiday season is going to be heavy on the practical and light on the whimsy.
“These stuffed toys absolutely reek of fun.”
Consider this gift item, for example. A set of pee and poo plush dolls set. $38. Yep, your kids can have their own pee and poo dolls to cuddle with and cart around.
In flusher economic times, this might be a fun gag gift. Today? I can do a whole lot better with $38.
What about you? How has your thinking about holiday giving this year changed? If you work in B2C markets, are your clients asking you to take a different tack? (I notice Target’s ad have begun to focus on having fun with the basics – like cutting your children’s hair. Like I would think that was fun.)
