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.
