Finding The Hottest Christmas Toys:

Let's face it. It's not the eggnog, the snowmen, the sledding, or the hot cocoa that make Christmas the favorite holiday for millions of children all over the world. It's the gift giving that ultimately puts Christmas over the top. As parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, we all try to give the type of gifts that our children will love and appreciate for years to come. But gift giving can be a daunting task. With all the television, radio, and internet marketing that goes on these days, it's hard to know what present will be a hit and which will be a dud.

The annual problem adult consumers face is that there are just too many choices out there. With the massive advertising blitz that hits from November all through December 25th, it takes a savvy consumer to wade through all the hype and find that perfect gift. Here are a few recommendations:

LEGOS: For the kid that likes to "build stuff", you can't go wrong with Legos. Many sets help kids to recreate famous movie scenes from the Harry Potter to the Star Wars series. Legos also create a great bonding opportunity for parents and their children. Building together is fun!

PAPER JAMZ: If the child you're buying for loves music, Paper Jamz has a line of toys geared towards musical development. Their guitars provide a great way to learn the basics of guitar playing without getting blisters on the fingers and their Paper drum set is a blast!

IMAGINEXT: For young children, Imaginext has been putting out quality interactive play sets for years. They've put out a Dragon Castle, Space Station, a Jungle set, and even a cool Batcave for your little Batman fan! They also have been putting out amazing remote controlled giant action figures for the preschool set. "BIGFOOT the MONSTER" being a favorite.

HAND HELDS: When all else fails, hand held video game systems are always a hit. Nintendo is the current champ with their DSi line, but Sony's PSP line is also quite fun. V-tech has many hand held prospects for the "under 10" crowd and Fisher Price has a wonderful system called the iXL that the 3-5 year old set just loves!
