Talking Tom Giveaway from Solid Alliance Toys!

When Berry was a toddler, Auntie Mary, our real estate broker in Singapore, tried to win her over with the Talking Tom app in her iPhone. And to much success! Berry enjoyed poking Tom, making him purr, and generally eliciting a reaction from this funny looking alley cat. Apparently, Talking Tom is a hit with kids, and fellow moms have told me how much their little ones love Talking Tom too! 

This is why I am super excited to share with you that should your iPhone go low-batt on you, Talking Tom has come to life, and the kiddos in your life are going to have a blast with these Talking Tom animation toys which  come in 3 sizes (with corresponding prices), no battery charging required hehe:

Animation: Php 1,799.75
12" with App sounds: Php 799.75
Key Ring: Php 299.75

Talking Tom is currently available at Toys 'r Us Eastwood, Bonifacio High Street, Galleria and Trinoma and coming soon to other stores too! I  would think any of these toys make the perfect birthday present, whether the celebrant is a boy or a girl. I know it's not the usual thing us adults would pick, as we tend to go for Barbie dolls and Legos, the toys and characters of our youth, but I guarantee you, these will be much appreciated. When Berry got these from her Tita Therry, she was so happy!

Now, here's the fun part! One lucky reader will get the chance to win a set of Talking Tom toys: 1 Talking Tom Animation Toy plus 1 Talking Tom Key Chain. So fun to win these diba?!!! Simply join the giveaway using the Rafflecopter widget below!
