1. Look for Furby merchandise on the Internet, or check the desired boxes for Furbies in the shopping list below and choose the "shop online" option. Online toy stores and auction sites offer a wide selection of Furbies.

2. Find out which Furby toys and merchandise the child or adult on your gift list already has and still wants. Has he or she been waiting for the Holiday Furby? If the gift recipient collects Beanie Babies, then buy one or more Furby Buddies to add to the collection.

3. Try not to worry if you end up buying a Furby for a gift only to find out the gift recipient already has that Furby. The interactive nature of Furby means a different "personality" for every doll ' even if they look alike!

4. Consider the age of the child when choosing a Furby and related merchandise. A small child may enjoy a Furby Baby or a Furby Talking Cup. How about a Furby yo-yo or a Furby CD-ROM game for an older child or adult? Original Furbies are appropriate for any age.

5. Expect to pay anywhere from a few dollars to about $100 for Furby dolls and merchandise. Furby Buddies start at $6, Furby games start at $10, and original Furbies start at $30. Some special edition and retired Furbies can cost much more and may be difficult to find.

6. Check on the estimated delivery time before you order your Furby dolls and merchandise online to make sure that it will arrive in time for the gift-giving occasion.

7. Buy your Furbies early! Furbies are extremely popular toys and you want to be able to get yours before they're all gone! Check with online retailers to find out if and when they expect a new shipment of Furbies. Maybe they will receive more of that out-of-stock item after all!

Tips & Warnings

• Spend time on Furby-related Web sites. You'll find tricks and tips on how to make your Furby perform certain actions. These sites will come in handy in case you are unable to get your Furby to go to sleep!
• Know that Furbies do not yet come with accessories such as clothes or hats. If you want to dress your Furby, measure your Furby and look for a line of doll clothing that will fit him. Internet sites and doll clothing pattern books show how to measure for and make your own doll clothes.
• Pay for your online purchases with a credit card. This will allow you to document your purchase and will give you some recourse if you are dissatisfied with it in some way.
• Only give your credit card information through secure Internet sites.
