It is no surprise that since it’s the holiday season, toys was my next Yahoo! Shine Get It Guide assignment. I was sent four of the most popular toys searched on Yahoo! for review. Some are worth the money, but one is definitely not. One I tried and tried to purchase for La Jolla Girl, but gave up after not being able to find it at a reasonable price. Animal Planet Air Swimmers Ugh, this [...]
