2008 Holiday Toy Guide:
What They’re Wishing For
|
Ladies,
Forget the crowded malls, avoid the holiday traffic, and shop from the comfort of your keyboard. We’ve been following all the reports and talking with industry insiders for the hottest gift ideas for kids this holiday season, and we’ve rounded up a list of all the toys that are going to be flying off the shelves. From hi-tech interactive learning toys, to video games, dolls and even budget-friendly toys for under $25, we’ve found them all.
As items sell out we'll update this page with alternative retailers, so make sure to add us to your bookmarks. When you see a vendor marked like this, that vendor has sold out already—click on another link and get yours ASAP while they're still available. And if you have any other items to add to the list, or if you find a toy stocked somewhere else, leave a tip on our message boards.
Happy
Holidays,
