Here's a fresh twist on stuffed toys: ‘Webkinz' a line of plush toys by Ganz is taking imaginary pet-care into the web. It's the next best thing to actually owning a real pet, plus you don't need to shovel poop every so often. And the good news is, they're now available in the Philippines.

Each pet comes with a unique tag that contains a secret code. The 8-character combination lets you adopt your Webkinz online via the official website. There, you can feed, train, and take care of your pet just like in the real world. You even need to work a few jobs so you could earn money to spend on your pet's room or to buy food and clothing from the shop.

Parents may want to consider getting this for their kids instead of adopting a real pet since taking care of a Webkinz does not entail additional costs. There's no need to take it to the vet for check-ups and shots, and you don't need to give it food and water. Plus when the time comes it'll spare you from having to tell the young ‘uns why their beloved pet had to go to a farm far, far away.
