Spoiled Kids Can Get Even More Spoiled at Christmas Time

It seems that parent's now a days do not care about what they spend on their children. The rich and affluent people can buy their kids the top of the line. The more extravagant the better. Now I do not come from a rich family in which my parents can drop thousands of dollars on me and think nothing of it. This does not mean I am not grateful for the things I get on Christmas. So with that being said, there are things new to the market this year that can make a spoiled childs Christmas the best one ever. Available now are play size Grand Victorian Mansions starting at $22,000. Included in these are fireplace mantel, simulated hardwood floors, and even wrap-around porches. Now this is not the only play set children can get spoiled with. There is now ever a Scallywag Sloop Pirate Themed Club House going for $18,499. However, if these toys are too cheap for your spoiled child, you can buy them a $50,000 7-foot Robby Robot. This is a life sized replica from the 1956 classic "Forbidden Planet." A life size Lego Batman is also on the market for those only wanting to spend $27,000. Keep in mind, most of these parents purchasing these toys are not buying just one. Their children are getting numerous gifts plus these extravagant toys. It is apparent that the rising income levels of individuals is helping the toy markets this year. One must question whether this is a good thing having these toys so expensive and only the elite can have them. Personally, I feel if it is helping industries during the holidays, why not. The people of America can spend their money any way they want to. Or maybe is there a line that should not be crossed when it comes to presents for their children?
