Norman PhartEphant

Did you watch the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday? I haven’t gotten around to it, but heard it was a good show! One of the items given away there this weekend, at the celebrity gift suite, was this adorable plush elephant:

phartephant

Isn’t he cute? His name is Norman PhartEphant, and he’s just a little bit gassy. When you squeeze his tail – you guessed it – he farts. But he’s a gentleman and says “Excuse me!” 😉

My daughters have fallen head over heels for Norman! He’s super soft, and at 10 inches in length, the perfect size to be hugged by little hands. I expected it to be annoying, but I found his farting to be quite cute actually. I love the fact that he’s so polite about it. My girls Some kids could learn from him…

Children will obviously love Norman, but he’d also make a great gift for your difficult to surprise spouse, co-worker, or friend.

  27. My favorite is mypillowpets.com. They have a store in L.A. but I forget what it was called.

    Norman is wonderful and our family would be glad to give
    the “gassy” guy a home. Many thanks, Cindi

  57. that’s so dang adorable!!! unfortunately, I don’t know any mom and pop toy store…YET. Baby is only 9 months old…i think that gives me PLENTY of time and occasions in the future to start finding one.

  61. I like Debby and Company, which used to be a Hallmark store but it has a ton of unique toys now.

  62. Honestly, I am not aware of any Mom and Pop Toy Stores in my area. I really wish there was! Thanks.

  63. We have a fun little toy store in old town Temecula, CA. I can’t remember the name of it! AUGH! Anyway, my kids love to visit there!

  70. I honestly don’t know of a boutique toy store in my area. I do remember as a child going to the mole hole somewhere in south carolina and getting a magic wand that became one of my very favorite childhood toys. I know the mole hole is actually a chain, but I do remember it as a really special and unique place!

  72. Hungate’s Creative Toys and Hobbies in Virginia Beach. I assume it is mom and pop

  74. Well, it’s not acceptable as a suggestion to Norman’s site but I loved FAO Schwarz in Las Vegas. What a store! Another favorite was a local store here when I was a kid called Thornberry’s. It’s long closed now but when I was little it was just Nirvana for us.

  76. This absolutely made my day 🙂 What a cute idea! There aren’t any Mom ‘n’ Pop toy stores in my area, and that’s too bad.

  78. Black Forest Books & Toys, NC
    Super giveaway to win – to give to the kids – so that kids can give it to Dad for Fathers Day ! 🙂

  81. i am not for sure were any little toy stores are would enjoy one so i would say toysrus thanks

  84. Am I disqualified if I don’t know any? I’m a new mom @ thirty five and I buy most toys online as I have dyspraxia and don’t drive and my husband works nights.

  86. I live in chain store land – I don’t know of any mom and pop toy store! 🙁 That’s very unfortunate.

  89. Honestly, where I live..We don’t have any Mom and Pop toys stores.
    It would be awesome if we did though.

  98. It’s not a toy store, but they do carry small fun things too. It’s called Jennifer’s in Elk River, MN. Thanks!
