Key takeaways
  • Buying cards for someone who does not play the card game
  • Guessing their favourite Pal
  • Leaving it to gifting season
  • Choosing a cheap unlicensed plush over a licensed accessory

Buying cards for someone who does not play the card game

Cards without a playgroup sit in a drawer. Confirm they play before buying sealed product.

Guessing their favourite Pal

A plush of the wrong Pal is the most common miss in this category. One question beats the guess.

Leaving it to gifting season

Licensed stock thins and resale premiums appear. Order while the licensed retailer still has stock.

Choosing a cheap unlicensed plush over a licensed accessory

At the same price, a licensed small item is a better gift than an unlicensed large one, and it can be returned.
