As we leave summer and head into
autumn, one of the things that will be at the forefront of parent’s minds will
be what to get their children for Christmas. Although it may seem a bit early
to be thinking about Christmas, every year there are a few toys which are
incredibly in demand and these tend to be the toys that all children want. To
save themselves from getting the wrong thing or not being able to get the toy
they want, parents need to start thinking about Christmas as early as possible
and get a good grasp on what is going to be popular this year.
According to toy shop Hamleys,
who start their Christmas sales push as early as summertime, they know exactly
what children are going to want this year and have released a list which
reveals some of the most popular choices.
Topping the list are the Monster
High Dolls, showing a marked change in the kinds of toys that children are
fascinated by. Monster High Dolls are ghoulish themed fashion dolls which all
purport to come from a high school named Monster High. The dolls each come with
a signature pet and a school diary which kids can fill in themselves. With new
dolls being added to the range all the time, it is worth researching the dolls
available and which are the latest to have been added when shopping for these
dolls in time for Christmas, to prevent buying a doll that is already out of
fashion come December!
Surprisingly this year, Cabbage
Patch Dolls are making a resurgence, coming high up on the list of most wanted
toys. Cabbage Patch Dolls have been around for decades and are chubby looking
babies that are supposed to have been found in a cabbage patch. there are a
huge range of these available, all with different looks and styles, so it is
best to find out from your child which kind of doll they would like in advance
to prevent choosing something they are not happy with.
For boys and gadget fans, the Web
Shooting Spider-Man is very popular and makes for a great addition to their
existing action figures. Tying in perfectly with the popularity of The Amazing
Spiderman movie this year, this action figure shoots out webs at the touch of a
button, as well as making the appropriate web shooting sounds, which will make
him the pride of your child’s collection.
Whatever you choose for your
child’s Christmas gift, if they are old enough to know what they want you may
be safest asking them for a Christmas list which you can choose from the
surprising them with something you have researched and know they have an
interest in. See what is popular online and in stores and trust your instincts
and you can be sure to find something your children will adore.
