One of my least favorite parts of Christmas is that stage between when the kids open the presents and when they get to play with them. Clipping through all of the little twist wires and opening all of those evil sealed plastic casings. I just want to get the kids playing with the toys.
Amazon has noticed our frustration and is working with manufactures to change it. Behold! Amazon’s Frustration-Free Packaging
It uses recyclable packaging, gets rid of all of that excess crap that the stores love to prevent shoplifting, and saves all of us precious moments in an already busy day.
They are starting off with just a handful of items. They have some toys, some SD memory cards, and some computer mice. I have links below to all of the items currently included in the program.
- Fisher-Price Imaginext Adventures Pirate Ship
- Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Sing and Go Choo-Choo
- Little Mommy Gotta Go Doll
- Matchbox Mega Rig Space Shuttle
- Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera Pink
- Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera Blue
- Polly Pocket Ultimate Party Boat Playset
- Batman The Dark Knight – Batmobile & Batpod
- Barbie Party Cruise Ship
- Transcend 4 GB SDHC Card
- Transcend 8 GB SDHC Card
- Transcend 16 GB SDHC Card
- Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 – Slate
- Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 – Dragon Fruit Pink
- Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 – Winter Blue
- Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 – Pomegranate Red
- Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 – Aloe Green
- Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 – Milk Chocolate Brown
- Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 – Creme Brulee
Hopefully this will take off and they’ll introduce a lot more items to ship with this new packaging in the near future.
What do you think of the new packaging? Would you prefer the easy opening and less packaging materials or would you prefer the old packaging because it is prettier and shinier?
