The must-have toys for your children this holiday season are without a doubt the Zhu Zhu Pets. If you’re living under a rock or something, the Zhu Zhu Pets are tiny, robotic hamsters. They retail for about $10 and are hot, hot, hot.

Unfortunately, their cult status has caused them to be out of stock at nearly every retail store. You can buy them on eBay or on Amazon, but until that Zhu Zhu is in your hands, he’s not real. What’s a loving parent to do?

Lucky for you, it’s almost Black Friday. Zhu Zhu Pets will be on sale at nearly every big-box retailer – Toys ‘R’ Us, Walmart, and Target will have shipments on the day after Thanksgiving. Make sure you call your local store for details – some stores are requiring tickets for hamster purchases – and you might have to stand in line.

Even if Toys ‘R’ Us, Walmart, and Target order pallets of the Zhu Zhu Pets, there could be a struggle for those little furry robo-animals. Every year, somebody dies on Black Friday. Don’t let that person be you.

Also, make sure that you don’t end up paying $50 for a toy. When people scalp hamsters (or rodent-related toys), everybody loses. Think about that one.

So, if you’re planning on doing a Black Friday Zhu Zhu Pets run, make sure you’re mentally, physically, and spiritually prepared. Identify your target locations and get plenty of turkey-and-white-wine induced sleep the night before your big day. Set that alarm clock and make the coffee the night before.

Remember, your child’s future is at stake. If he or she doesn’t get those Zhu Zhu Pets, who knows what could happen? Disappointment leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate… leads to suffering.
