The beginning of the holiday season also starts the hunt for Christmas gifts that kids will love. Here are some creative and fun toys that will put a big smile on any child’s face. Basic Fun has two toys that will surely be on the holiday wish list.

Cutetitos Plush Toys

Cutetitos are a brand new line of plush stuffed animals from Basic Fun! that are wrapped in a burrito blanket. The blanket looks like a standard flour tortilla, but it’s soft like a plush toy. Inside that blanket, you’ll find one of twelve collectible stuffed animals that 7.5″.

Each of the Cutetitos has a personality “Hot Spot”, which are essentially different levels of spiciness (mild, medium, hot, or super spicy). Each of the plush animals has its own name, as well as a birthday. They each come with a Pet Collector Card.

I’ll also note that they’re packaged with the stuffed animal’s face down so that you’re unable to know what plush is inside the burrito until you open the package and unwrap it.

Obviously, that gives Cutetitos a mystery surprise element that is all the rage in 2018.

As far as the stuffed animals, themselves, are concerned, they’re pretty cute. There’s a dog, cat, pig, sloth, and more available (and each of the Cutetitos comes with a sheet that tells you what other animals there are).

One thing that we thought was a nice touch was that these Cutetitos come with a wrapper on the bottom that looks like the foil you’d find on a real burrito. It’s cute and gave us a chuckle.

There are 12 stuffed animals to collect in series 1 and each is sold separately.

My Little Pony-Unicorn & Pegasus Collection

Basic Fun! has released a line recreating Hasbro‘s original ponies for the franchise‘s 35th anniversary. It‘s called the Unicorn & Pegasus Collection, consisting of various winged and horned ponies.

Back in 1983, the pony aesthetic was very different than what we have today. Though the basic concept is still around, a lot has changed about the pony‘s looks over the last few decades. The design was definitely more horse-like, with a longer snout and much smaller eyes than the ponies we have today, and the bodies were bigger, too.

Despite the differences, there are some things that haven‘t changed. They‘ve always had vibrantly colored fur and even brighter, flowing hair which can be brushed and braided. And they‘ve had cutie marks since the very beginning.

We‘re particularly interested in the Moondancer doll because the character has come such a long way since her initial release. In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, she becomes a bit of a recluse after Twilight Sparkle decides not to attend a party she throws. After the two makeup, Moondancer learns to befriend people again.

The Unicorn & Pegasus Collection also includes Sunbeam, Medley, Glory, and Twilight. Hasbro released another retro collection earlier this year that included Skydancer and Parasol, so if you love the look of these retro ponies, check those out, too. They can be found online and in Target stores across the country.
