Giga Pet Gabbers are unreleased, interactive keychains from Tiger Electronics. They appeared in Tiger's 1999 Toy Fair tradee catalog. They require two AAA batteries to function.

Two versions exist, including one based on Elmo from Sesame Street and another based on Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

From the hit TV series into your heart

And one of the keychain's lines is "Salem is happy".

The description for the Elmo version says:
