Christmas is approaching in less than three months—can you believe it? I certainly can't, but I'm eager for the holiday season to arrive. If you're anything like me, you prefer getting a head start on gathering presents for your family and friends. However, if you have kids, navigating the plethora of popular toys can be quite a challenge. For those seeking to quickly discover this year's hottest toys, here are my top 5 Christmas toy recommendations.
-
Barbie Dreamhouse Playset
Barbie and Mattel had a fantastic year, thanks to the success of the Barbie movie, which grossed over $1.38 billion. The Barbie Dreamhouse Playset, inspired by the movie, has earned its spot as one of the top toys this year. Priced at an average of nearly $174, this dreamscape is a must-have for Barbie enthusiasts.
-
Furby
Making a nostalgic comeback, Furby is another sought-after toy this year. With a whimsical revival in June, the adorable creature now comes with more than 600 preloaded phrases and dances, keeping the fun alive. For around $60, you can relive the joy of teaching your Furby to talk.
-
Nintendo Mario Kart 8
Riding on the success of the Mario Brothers animated film, the Nintendo Mario Kart 8 game is a hit this year. Priced at approximately $47, this game is sure to bring joy to Mario franchise fans and gaming enthusiasts alike.
-
Bitzee Interactive Toy Digital Pet
Although not widely known, the Bitzee Interactive Digital Pet is highly recommended by my niece as a must-have toy. This interactive pet, housed in a cute decorative case, features 15 different interactive pets that kids can watch grow from kids to super Bitzee, all for under $30.
-
Ride-Along Scooter
For a charming and affordable option, consider the ride-along scooter designed to resemble a mini Vespa. Available in white, pink, and blue for around $72 (currently 10% off the list price), this scooter is a delightful choice for those looking to score a great deal.
