If you don’t yet have a holiday gift for the child or adult geek in your life, you better not cry – Ridgewood’s own “Toy Hunter” is already in town.
Even better, professional toy devotee Jordan Hembrough, a Ridgewood resident whose Travel Channel show about toy collecting aired its first season’s finale episode earlier this week, has shared some gift tips with The Ridgewood News.
For children, Hembrough suggested the new Furby or the collector’s edition holiday Barbie.
The animatronic Furby toys, said Hembrough, are selling out after recently being “reinvented” by Hasbro. The toy now can interact with other Furbies and even has a related iPhone app that can translate “Furbish” to English.
