DD1 told me yesterday that a Hexbug habitat was one of the top two things on her Christmas list. UGH! I thought my shopping was done! Normally I would take the "you don't get everything you ask for" approach, but since it's in the top two items, I'm considering it. Are there any that I should definitely check out (or definitely avoid)?

How old is she?

If she's younger, http://www.amazon.com/Innovation-First-Hexbug-Hive-Playset/dp/B0051C0HGY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1386001346&sr=8-2&keywords=hexbug+elevation is perfect. It folds and is contained and they don't have to attach more parts to it.

If she's older, we like: http://www.amazon.com/Hexbug-Nano-Elevation-3D-Habitat/dp/B0046JEXWM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386001346&sr=8-1&keywords=hexbug+elevation. The spirals are fun.

DS2 is getting this: http://www.amazon.com/HEXBUG-Nano-Sky-Max-Set/dp/B00EDGY2AG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386001437&sr=8-1&keywords=hexbug+watch. It has quite a few pieces that are different, so we'll see.

She's 9, so I'll check out the ones you recommend for older kids. Thanks for the suggestion...I really had no idea which ones to look at.

I also think more bugs make it more fun.
