JERSEY CITY, N.J., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- www.egift.com, the recently launched online gift site from CyberShop International, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYSP - news), today announced that they have Furby available for purchase -- and plans to continue to have the hot-selling toy in stock throughout the holiday season. As the ultimate Internet resource for consumer purchases, egift offers an extensive range of gift items and services. The company also recently announced an expansion of their relationship with America Online Inc. (NYSE: AOL - news), making it the sole featured tenant in AOL's quick gift area, where Furby is presently featured and other promotions are planned.
''Our merchandise managers were well ahead of the curve,'' said Jeff Tauber, CyberShop's CEO. ''They realized several months ago that Furby was going to be one of the hottest toys of the year and were able to secure a large supply for the holiday season.
''All visitors to egift.com will have equal opportunity to purchase Furby, regardless of time-of-day or the number of shopping days left in the season. Furby is a perfect fit with our assortment for egift, which is positioned as the ultimate Internet destination for gifts, offering high quality, hard-to- find gift items, with the ability to ship overnight,'' added Tauber.
Furby, the hard-to-find offering from Tiger Electronics, a division of Hasbro (NYSE: HAS - news), has received widespread attention since the media reported the toy would be the ''Tickle me Elmo'' of this holiday season. To date, Furby has generally not been available at traditional retailers such as Toys R Us, or on the Internet due to the high demand from shoppers.

All gifts can be gift-packaged complete with a personalized gift card, and available to be shipped worldwide via Federal Express™.
