Cuddle Barn Rockin Robbie vs Kurt Adler Laughing and Farting Snowman

These are two different kinds of novelty holiday toy, so pick by the reaction you want. The Cuddle Barn Rockin Robbie is a 12-inch plush Christmas tree that sings and sways to "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" with flashing lights, which suits kids and a musical centerpiece. The Kurt Adler snowman is a 10-inch fabric-mâché and plastic figure that laughs like a baby, bobs its head and ends with a fart sound, which suits older kids and adults who want a gag. Build goes to Kurt Adler's mixed materials; the Cuddle Barn is softer plush and more kid-friendly. Owners of the snowman rate it well, and the tree is a long-running, simple battery toy.

• Choose the Cuddle Barn Rockin Robbie if you want a singing, light-up tree for a child or a musical holiday display.
• Choose the Kurt Adler Laughing and Farting Snowman if you want a push-button gag figure that gets laughs from older kids and adults.
