Anyone got any kids here?

Looks like these are the toys you may see more of soon.

Thank you for the links. There was one on the list that I do need to get. Of course my boys seem to think they should get all the new toys. Every commercial is "I want that". I have heard that so many times I could scream.

Well Ten year anniversary Elmo is suppoesd to be the big one.

We always get our daughter an American Girl doll - not only are they beautiful - but they go up in value year after year.

They run about $85 for the basic meet and greet dressed doll from Americangirl.com

I highly recommend them for girls ages 5-10.

I have two boys but do not buy them expensive toys. In fact, I tell everyone else to only buy them very specific things. This year it is legos and hardware (my eldest wants to build a robot from scratch). Books are always welcome. I just can't see spending tons of money on some toy that will either break or the child will get bored with them soon.

That is a very good idea to keep to a couple basic products. My sons love the power ranger action figures. Maybe I will have the relatives pick out one each and that would even save them money because they tend to go overboard.

So many people spend so much cash on toys that will be neglected very soon anyway, youre absolutely right.
