Parents will take a lot of needle from children for tattoo toy for Christmas
Youngsters all over Europe voted the Girl Crush Airbrush Tattoo the perfect Santa present in an opinion poll result guaranteed to have parents cursing every pop star who ever displayed an astral symbol up their shin. Boys haven’t been put off by the toymakers’ marketing vision either and while presumably they’ll ignore the glitter pens that come with the stencils and paint, they love the idea of copying human drawing pads like David Beckham and Robbie Williams.
The tattoo set was one of hundreds of toys, games and gadgets advance-tested by Duracell. The top 10 have been taken on a tour of hospitals here and in Britain for further scrutiny. Other success stories which found favour with young patients at Temple Street Children’s Hospital yesterday included more celebrity influenced products like My Model, which lets children experiment with make-up and hair styles on a head other than their own, and Bratz Girls Nite Out, a selection of dolls with attitudes of “It” girls and wardrobes to match. The theme continued with the seventh place rating of the Star Party CD kit comprising a turntable, CD deck and microphone which allows children indulge dreams of stardom and a slot on MTV Cribs by recording their own songs.
