When it comes to holiday toys, things do not look much different this year than they have in the last couple of years. There are video games, Webkinz, iPods, a doll first introduced 35 years ago and, of course, Elmo. Industry analysts say we aren't likely to see a repeat of 1996's "Tickle Me Elmo" craze, which had parents fighting in store aisles and forking over as much as $1,500 to secure the furry monster through online auctions. Still, there's just a month left until Christmas, and if there's something on your child's list that has been labeled a "hot toy," you'd be smart to get it soon, as you might not be able to find it later. Here's a tip: visit www.hottoys2008.com to find out what stores have your coveted purchase still in stock. We've scoured the stores, magazines and online sources to come up with a list of the 10 things we think will be most popular this year. Read Tuesday's Family life to find out what we think the Jolly Old Elf will be delivering this year. |
