We are running a week long, starting at 99 GBP, no reserve auction on the hottest little red guy of the season – TMX Elmo! We’ve opened a Christmas Shop catering to our buyers across the pond – Happy Toys Christmas Shop. Elmo’s hanging out there for the next week – until the evening of Black Friday! Even though he’s listed in GBP, like everything we sell, he’s ready to ship to you worldwide.

Can’t wait until Friday? He’s in our store, Iron Chick’s Treasures, as well! Buy Him Now and sleep in next Friday.

While you’re waiting for him to arrive, check Elmo out on youtube!

Make your own face paint this Halloween!

Save money AND get the reassurance that comes from knowing exactly what is in the product you are placing on your child’s skin.

FUNNY FACE MAKE-UP

4 drops glycerin (found at your
pharmacy)
Few drops of food coloring

In a small bowl, mix shortening, cornstarch and white flour. Add four drops of glycerin. Stir to a creamy consistency. Add any food coloring that you wish. For brown makeup, add 2 1/2 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa instead of food coloring and you’re all set.
