buying the brand name

Al and adik are so into Thomas and Friends now ...whenever they see anything related to Thomas and friends, they will be jumping ups and downs with joy ...i got them a few books on the series...and recently Jane also bought a couple of Thomas's books for them ...very well received!

 (one of the books - its RM 10 ++ each)

but recently on their trip to the malls with the parents, they discovered the plate and spoon with Thomas and Friends photo ...Jane indulged them ...so, we got two sets at home, one for Al and the other one for adik ...

showing off his new plate ...fresh from the mall hahahaha

but looking at the price, I am thinking we are paying more for the brand rather than for the item itself ...for example, a simple baby/kid plate and spoon set of other brand would costs less than RM10 but because of the popularity of Thomas and co, the spoon alone costs RM7 ...hahaha the plate is over RM15 ...if I am not mistaken ...but then again, parents are often falling into the trap of buying the brand as their kids are really hooked into stuffs like that ...heheheh ....but is it worth it? Depands on the individual ...like in our case, because Al is such a fussy eater, we are hoping that the spoon will encourage him to eat more ...hahaha and he did, he would enjoy his cereal or noodles using the Thomas bowl and spoon ...so, maybe that is not such a bad thing afterall ....

somehow yg branded pun tahan lama so worth it lah...and colour pun brighter , print pun nicer...i vote for brand ha..ha..ha...make sure you buy during sales ok...
