TamagotchiOriginal - Tama Garden

I got Tamagotchis for my adult children this Christmas, and I can honestly say it was the hit of the holiday! As soon as they opened them, their faces lit up with excitement—it brought back so many nostalgic memories from their childhood. They were laughing, comparing pets, and instantly fell back into the rhythm of caring for their little digital companions.They were so into it, they didn’t even bother opening their other gifts right away! It was amazing to see how something so simple could spark so much fun and connection. It turned into a whole family moment full of laughter and stories from when they were kids.If you’re looking for a unique, joy-filled gift that mixes nostalgia with simple fun, a Tamagotchi is a perfect choice. It was worth every penny just to see their reactions—and now they’re all still playing with them like it’s 1997 again. Highly recommend for kids at heart of any age!

Such a fun and nostalgic gift for my daughter!I bought this Tamagotchi for my daughter, and she absolutely loves it! It's been so fun watching her take care of her little virtual pet — feeding it, playing with it, and learning responsibility in a really cute and engaging way. It brought back so many memories from my own childhood, and now I get to share that same joy with her.The device is simple to use, the animations are adorable, and it keeps her entertained without being overwhelming. It’s the perfect mix of old-school charm and modern fun. Highly recommend for any parent looking to give their kid something a little different (and super fun)!

I had one of these when I was a kid, so I picked one up for my daughter, and it’s been a hit! It’s just like I remember—feeding, cleaning up after it, giving it medicine, and even disciplining it when it gets a little out of hand. 😂The pink sprinkles shell is super cute, and my daughter really enjoys the character guessing game. She’s obsessed with taking care of it and watching it grow from an egg to an adult.It comes with the battery and a keychain, so she can take it with her everywhere. It’s been so fun to share this little piece of my childhood with her, and she’s loving it just as much as I did!

The kids love this toy! It takes me back to when 8 was little. The battery life is fantastic, it’s loads of fun to play and the small size is great for bringing it along anywhere.

I feel like the 90s were peak civilization, at least for me as a teen. I bought this solely out of nostalgia. I wanted to show it off to my kids. They played it for a week and then moved on. Oh well, their loss. I’ll keep it for myself then

So it was very fun to play with, it's like a little digital pet you have to take care of. It beeps when it needs something.SCROLL DOWN IF YOU WANT A SHORT HELPFUL GUIDE ON HOW TO CARE FOR IT :) vvvWHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR/TIPS & TRICKS:- A button is the button on the left. B button is the button in the middle. C button is the button on the right.- If it isn't taken good care of, the pet will 'die' aka it flys back up to its home planet. You can get a new one if you reset but it isn't the same pet and if your kid is below 9 they will most likely become distraught over it dying- If you feed it too many snacks (the cake) it will die before it turns into a teenager! You can feed it the burger only.- If it isn't disciplined or played with enough or it's weight is too high it will grow up to become an unattractive bad mannered alien.- When it needs something, it beeps. You can silence it (although that is the #1 leading cause of tamagotchi deaths) but if your children go to school then you need to take care of it while they are at school, unless you want them to be checking their tamagotchi every 10 minutes or having it beep. If they are in middle school or higher, then they can put it on their backpack and check it between periods/at lunch time.- Discplining it is clicking the button with the little head that's speaking/yelling. If it beeps even though its hunger and happiness is full, you need to click that button to discipline it. The more you discipline, the less it will beep when not needed which is what we want. You also need to discipline it if it refuses to eat when hungry or play when unhappy.- HERE'S HOW TO PLAY THE GAME: When you click the play button, a number will appear on the left. If you think the number on the right (there is no number on the right YET) will be higher then it, click the B button. If you think the number that the number on the left will be higher then the number that will appear on the right, click the A button.- All the responsibilities might seem a little stressful, right? But as your tamagotchi grows up, it will become less maintenance.- It will eventually die of natural age LUCKILY things you can do to increase its lifespan are:- Keep in tiptop shape. My rule of thumb is even when it doesn't beep, check every 10-15 minutes. If a heart is gone for HUNGRY or HAPPINESS play with it or feed it!- Play with it. As much as possible. Not a lot but I'd recommend 30 minutes of play total a day. Playing with it also keeps its weight down, and the more it weighs the less it'll live :(- Only discipline when necessary!

This was a gift for my teenage daughter. She loves it and enjoys playing with it. It's a Gen 1 model. She's had 2 pets so far, one that aged and turned into an angel, and the current one that turned into a secret character. She was excited about that. It's a good quality product. There have been no issues with the screen on game play. The design is very cute. Would recommend. I also bought a Gen 2 version for my other daughter. It won't allow me to write a review for that one. So I'll include a picture of it, it's the black sparkle one. And it's just as good as the sprinkle one. Very happy with both.
