Xmas Party Ideas – Hello there folks! I have a feeling that this will be a great blog! I decided that as part of the Christmas spirit of giving and sharing, I decided to give some things too, that is to share my writing and love for toys with everyone! What better way to talk about toys than to tie it with Christmas? Now one of the things which I am most perplexed about is this, how did this word Xmas came about? Well I ran a search on Wikipedia, read the reason and still didn’t understand what was going on. I guess that will always remain a mystery then.
So what do I mean by Xmas party ideas? Well I shall not be talking too much about that because I am more into toys. If you want a simple Xmas party, you just need to figure out a theme so that there can be some intrigue and adventure for your Christmas party. I know most people would be asking this question because they are organising a Christmas function at work. Hence they are looking for office xmas party ideas.
I sure got some work xmas party ideas for you. Besides have a themed party which is similar to a Halloween party, where people can come dressed in monsters or angels or any other costume which they fancy, there can be a gift exchange. That is when things get fun and where my xmas toys come into play. So if you are in need of some staff xmas party ideas, first think of a theme party and whether you want to link the gifts to the theme. For example do you want people to buy gifts related to the party theme? Usually people would set a budget amount, just in case after the exchange some people traded some cheap toys for some expensive ones.
For more excitement I know of another way to hold such a Christmas gift exchange. First of all hope you have got a Christmas tree in the office. List down all the people in the office and then allow people to randomly pick somebody, without knowing who that person is of course, something like a lucky draw. The person who picked would then have to buy a gift for the name which he has drawn. You may want to allow people to hang their wishes on the tree, so that his or her Santa Claus or Santarina will be able to have a better idea to buy for his or her angel. This is quite a unique gift exchange system isn’t it? So I hope this manages to give you some corporate xmas party ideas. You can do this even if you are anywhere in the world, be it london brisbane or Melbourne.
So let us now go back to the topic of toys. What are the top 10 xmas toys you might ask? Well first of all I guess this varies every year and depends on what new toys the toy manufacturers introduce. There are certain types of toys which are popular every year while they are some others which are more like one hit wonders. The top xmas toys 2010 included the Zhu Zhu pet hamsters, Jet Pack Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story 3, the Bakugan 7 In 1 Maxus Dragonoid, Nerf toy guns, Star Wars General Grievous Spinning Electronic Lightsaber, the VTech Kidizoom Video Camera and many more. Let me give you my version of the top ten xmas toys 2010.
First up we have the Nerf N-Strike ECS blaster which is one of the most awesome and exciting N-Strike toy guns released. It is fully automatic and comes with a new pop-out bipod, which doubles as a handle. It even comes with a removable Blast Shield, Pop-Out Bipod, 3 Extended Clips, 1 Quick-Reload Clip and 60 darts!
The Blokus game is a great strategy game for the whole family. Not only does it boosts your brain cells but it allows your family and friends to bond together over great fun. The purpose of the game is to be able to place as many of the tetris like blocks on the platform. As they are all different shapes, you are supposed to put them in such a way that you prevent your opponents from placing their blocks down too. There are over 400 pieces in the game and you would be happy to know that Blokus is the winner of over 20 prestigious awards and the most awarded game of the 21st century.
Well this one is for all the lego fans out there. The Lego MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 comes with a 32-bit microprocessor, a large matrix display, 4 input and 3 output ports, and Bluetooth and USB communication link which will allow you to construct robots that see, speak, feel, and move. Strangely it is designed for ages 10 and up, though a older person like me probably has no clue on how to make my own robots. But they claim you can set one up in just an hour and even create an endless lineup of robots after that. Well as they say, if you can dream it, you can build it.
Now this is one of the latest Bakugan toys that features a hugh bakugan toy. The Bakugan Exclusive Deluxe Figure Dharak Colossus also comes with a Transformation Hub, a Metal Gate Card and an Ability Card.
What about the Fisher-Price Dance Star Mickey? Want somebody to dance with you when you are feeling down? This new innovative Mickey Mouse can not only walk and talk but can dance to the tune of six different songs with styles including, disco, Latin techno, and the Moonwalk. Kids will start to grove to life and be entertained with the interactive games too.
My favourite Toy Story 3 character is not Buzz Lightyear but Woody and which better toy to get than the Toy Story 3 Woody & Bullseye Roundup Pack. This cool Woody figure rides high in the saddle on his trusty sidekick, Bullseye. You can even tug on Bullseye's tail and see him raise his head and rear up on his hind legs! Get ready for some real cowboy action!
With the latest Harry Potter movie release, what better time than now to get some Harry Potter toys? The best would be some Harry Potter lego. Pictured above is the LEGO Harry Potter Freeing Dobby set which is one of the cheaper Lego Harry Potter sets. If you got a bigger budget you should get the Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts castle!
Need an addictive game that is great for the family? Try out the all new 4th edition of The Settlers of Catan, an award-winning strategy game where players collect resources and use them to build roads, settlements and cities to win. With a variable game board allowing up to three or four players, this game has been recognized as a best-selling Game of the Year in both Germany and the U. S. If you are so crazy over Catan, you can even buy up the several expansion sets which are sold separately.
If you think you want to be Ben 10 and you want to get a hold of the Omnitrix, then you are already a bit outdated. This is because the latest Ben 10 comes with the Ultimatrix. Like the Omnitrix, the Ultimatrix is also like a watch but it resembles more like a guantlet. The Ultimatrix replaces the Omnitrix, which was destroyed when Ben battled Vilgax and tried to prevent him from taking over the universe.
And finally my last top ten xmas toys, none other than the sequel to the earlier 2009 hit the Hamster Zhu Zhu pets comes the Kung Zhu Pets Special forces hamsters! Special Forces Kung Zhu Pet Hamsters are the toughest hamsters in the Kung Zhu world. They each have got their own unique personality when the button is pressed on the back. Watch these ninjas zoom around when they are having fun. Also check out the Kung Zhu Ninja warriors too. There are four different colours in each set to choose from or you can collect them all!
Well those are the toys that I bought and loved in 2010. I cant really remember what are the toys I bought for 2009 though but I sure am looking forward to 2011! This will be a year for more top xmas toys and hot xmas toys. Speaking of which, getting toys would be one of the best kids xmas party ideas. Imagine all the best xmas toys gathered one roof, that will be better than a gift exchange thought about for some company xmas party ideas.
If you are a parent, I can tell you that kids just love Christmas because that this when they get their xmas toy. Almost all new toys released are meant to be kids xmas toys and parents are supposed to queue up and even fight for them! There are xmas toys for boys and girls xmas toys so actually there are plenty to go around so you need not fear!
