Child wants a “6 pack of Labubu” for Xmas and I haven’t got a clue

[Geranium879]

I’m just starting my Xmas shopping … I know I know… my 6 year old has put this on her xmas list. They’re ugly little dolls right? A six pack… she must mean small ones. I can only find keyrings. She’s also written “Labubu pencil case”… why aren’t there any Labubu things on Amazon?! Please help!

What on earth are 9 year olds getting from sephora? Isn't that a make up shop?

In the calendar? - all sorts of things. A pom pom keyring, a hair clip, lip balms, hand creams, some lip gloss/eyeshadow, some nail polish and then various creams and stuff like mascara that I switched out.

I don’t think my 14 year old even knows what Sephora is😅 she’s not a girly girly though.

My older daughter has no clue or interest. My youngest & a lot of her friends go to a lot of dance classes and have been fascinated with make up since they started doing shows a few years back. I’ve bought myself a beauty advent calendar this year to try as I’ve really used no make up, fragrance or beauty stuff beyond a face cream with a high spf for years. I thought it might be fun to try stuff out.

Oh I see. I thought they were a make up shop! Shows you how out of touch I am! Are they a bit like Claire's accessories?

Oh the shop - yes mainly make up, hair & skin care & fragrances. The calendar must have been aimed at teens I reckon and I can see why the kids wanted it while being not that surprised she’s feeling a tad underwhelmed vs her sisters (I did the big one key rings, pin badges, bath bombs, little toys and a few art bits). I’ve no clue where they pick some of their ideas up from but the interest in make up has definitely come from dance.

This is cuute.

Do not get her a 6 box of lububus
Its ridiculous

After seeing this thread yesterday morning I ordered my DD an actual labubu (she’s realised hers are lafufus and is desperate for a real one) from the pop mart site as I thought they were still ridiculously expensive. Got one for £20 including postage and I’ve already received it. Thank you @Geranium879 for your thread - I will now have a very happy 7 year old on Christmas morning.

Oh god not them! Lol
My daughters were collecting them
They sell them in the local corner shops not sure if they still do

God,they are so ugly

That’s exactly what I would do.

we love popmart. Me probably more than the children. But it’s definitely expensive

I ordered my kids a 6 pack from popmart in march and they didn't come till September. Gave them 1 each and sold the rest, made all my money back. You'll not get a full series before Christmas, they work on pre orders. Tbh I wouldn't buy fakes. You don't know what they're made of. The genuine ones are worth the money, if you can get them. Excellent quality and collectors items as they're limited lines.

Best part of 300 quid for a few ugly keyrings!? Bloody hell.

If they're in stock at the official supplier for 'only' £108, then who on earth is going to pay £279 for them, from Sports Direct of all places?

Don't buy the fakes! I saw a programme about them and they showed you all the dangerous parts of them coming off, toxic materials and stuff. I didn't watch closely as my kids are grown up now but they are seizing a large haul pf counterfeits now. Also as someone else said the kids will probably know. Maybe just get 1 real one with some themes accessories and say she can get the next one on birthday, next Christmas etc and hopefully by next year she'll have grown out of it? Also any palm one off onto another family member if asking for a gift? Good luck!

Someone who wants them now, not in three months time?

But it says 4-7 working days standard delivery on the official site?

My daughter wanted a live unicorn when she was about 8. I found the biggest toy unicorn I could (it was huge) put it as Santa present with a note to say it only came alive when everyone asleep 😂

Some times you can't get them every they want exactly and actually it's quite a good lesson to compromise

Thanks for this thread, it reminded me that my daughter wanted a 'Big into Energy' Labubu, ordered last week and arrived Saturday.

I am usually very po faced about this kind of social media led trend, and my 11yo doesn't have any social media yet, (so it's just what she picks up via friends), but even we went a bit Labubu crazy in the summer to the extent that I was entering the Popmart weekly lotteries to try and 'win' the opportunity to buy one, and managed to get two. I did question my sanity, as it became surprisingly addictive.

I wouldn't buy a six pack, but £18 for a single Labubu isn't particularly excessive, no different to craze for Jellycats or Ty Beanie Babies is it really?

My two eldest daughters bloody love these things but i think theyre ugly as sin. DD10 calls the fake ones lafufus and shes sniffed them out at markets before when ive pointed them out to her. I got her a real macaron one from game, but just the one, asking for six is just greedy

b&m sell kimmons which are kinda similar to labubus but half the price, DD15 already has a coca cola labubu and said she actually prefers the kimmons to the labubus so i got her a couple of kimmons instead.

A lot of girls that age are big into skincare, my 10-year-old asked me for skincare things for xmas this year

I feel a bit sad about that. Their skin is perfect.

Hate this 😔

I understand that usually the official stockist runs out really quickly, often selling out all their stock in a day. After that happens, people pay crazy money to get them from other sources.

My guess is that some stores which aren’t official stockists, buy up lots of the stock from the official one, assuming that they will be able to sell it at inflated prices when the official one runs out. But it doesn’t seem to have worked with this series, because Pop Mart appear to still have them in stock, presumably having bought loads anticipating a Christmas rush that hasn’t quite happened in the way they expected?

Thats what i said to her, shes 10 years old why does she need skincare and she said "because i want to have perfect skin, all my friends are doing it and they say if you get into a good routine you wont get wrinkles when you get older"

I am NOT getting her skincare stuff for xmas, she wont be happy but i think shes too young for that crap
