My top tip for Christmas toy shopping is to do it all on line. It makes Christmas shopping so much easier than it was in years gone by. relax and do all your Christmas shopping from the comfort of home. This is a big improvement on previous years when we had to visit the stores on foot, often dragging a tired child along with us.
The best online stores will give you lots of useful information including the ability to sort toys and games according to various categories. For example; sort by type of toy, age group, price range, customer rating, new releases and best sellers.The most useful improvement is the user rating information. Many parents leave copious amounts of feedback on the toys they have bought. They are happy to tell you how robust it is, how much their kids liked it and whether or not it was a good buy. People love to be helpful and to share their experience, both good and bad.
Another very feature of online toy buying is that you nearly always get free gift wrapping and very often free shipping too. Its a good idea to do your on line Christmas toy shopping early to ensure there is ample time for delivery and so that you get your order in before stocks run out. With more and more people shopping for toys online popular toys can sell out early.
With all the help that you can get with buying toys online there seems no reason to do any shopping the old fashioned way. To get you started with some toy ideas here just are a few of the top toys that will fly off the shelves this Christmas:
Pillow Pets plush folding stuffed animals and other plush products are favorites for all ages - from toddlers to teens.
Cute Lalaloopsy rag dolls are best sellers with girls this year and of course they like to collect the whole set.
Star Wars Lego sets for all ages. Lego is a quality toy; always a favourite and it will last and last. I have some that is no over 40 years old and it's as good as the day I purchased it.
For the younger kids the Melissa and Doug Standing easel is popular. You get a chalkboard on one side and a drawing pad on the other. A real classic toy to which you can add spare paper, paints, and crayons.
The most important thing is to make Christmas fun rather than a chore, stay within your budget and remember children often love the smallest least expensive toys as much if not more than the pricey ones.
