Mega Bloks Yo Gabba Gabba! DJ Lance Boombox £9.99 @ HomeBargainsThis Mega Bloks Yo Gabba Gabba! DJ Lance Boombox looks like it would be LOTS of fun for kids; it could have the potential to drive YOU mad though!

Once your kids get past a certain age you start to lose touch with the latest trends in kids toys and TV programmes.

With my eldest two children now 16 and 17, and my youngest aged five, I have to be honest and confess that I didn't know much about Yo Gabba Gabba and had to pay a quick visit to my, very, good friend Google.

I learned lots.

Yo Gabba Gabba was created by two fathers who were disappointed in kids TV.  They begged and borrowed money from friends, created some Yo Gabba Gabba programmes and put them up on youTube where the director of Napoleon Dynamite stumbled across them.  She told the exec' producer and director of Nickleodeon to check them out and the rest is kid TV history!

The Mega Bloks Yo Gabba Gabba! DJ Lance Boombox has 23 pieces for your child to build and rebuild with.

There are dancing Brobee and Foofa dancing figures included too, providing your child with lots of musical play opportunities.

The original price was £24.99 - HomeBargains have dropped it down to £9.99.

Happy Gabba Gabbering!

Yo Gabba Gabba Duvet Set £4.99 @ Play.com

Yo Gabba Gabba Duvet Set £4.99 @ Play.comI won't even pretend that I know what, or who, Yo Gabba Gabba is, but £4.99 for a Yo Gabba Gabba duvet set seems like a cracking price to me.

Right, a quick bit of Googling has revealed that it was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Costume Design/Styling, and has had a fair few big names making guest appearances - Jack Black, Elijah Wood, Sean Kingston and Tony Hawks to name just a few.

It would also appear that, despite being intended for young children, Yo Gabba Gabba has gained somewhat of a cult following among students and parents too - this would explain the comment over on HUKD lamenting the fact there isn't a kingsize version!

Who'd have known!

The Yo Gabba Gabba duvet set is 50% cotton and 50% polyester, can be washed at 30 degrees and bunged in the tumble dryer - although 50/50 cotton and polyester things tend to dry in a flash on the line I find.

Yo Gabba Gabba Duvet Set £4.99 @ Play.comPlay have reduced it from £12.99 down to £4.99 and if you REALLY wanted a king size version you could always  take the advice of others on HUKD, buy more than one and sew them together to make a big one.  Or even buy a few and turn the others in to curtains.

There are some bright sparks over there you know!
