Christmas 2009 Top Gift IdeasChristmas 2009 will be here soon and the shopping season has started. The belts will be a little tighter this year than it has been in Christmas past so it is important to make sure that you spend your money on the right gifts. Most of us just can't afford to pile the gifts under the tree and run up our credit card bills anymore. Here you will find a list of gifts to help you make sure that you are making the right choices. All of these are going to be popular gifts this year and it just makes sense to spend your money on something that the kids will actually play with. So here is our list of Top Christmas Gift Ideas for 2009. While they are all popular toys I thought I would go ahead and point out my favorite. That is the Snap Circuits educational toys. In my opinion that is the best gift on the market right now. It of course has a lot of educational value but beyond that it is just down right fun. Something that you can play with the children and all of you have a good time.
With the movie this fall Ben 10 is going to be fresh on all of the kids minds just in time for Christmas. There is a wide selection of toys and games but our number 1 pick is one of the newer games called Ben 10 Alien Creation Challenge. With this game you have to create your alien before the time runs out. If you are too slow then it all blows up in your face. The game includes 4 alien figures and eight combo cards that you need to play the game. As well as the storage container and the alien key needed to unlock the figures. You can expand on the game a little by going online and downloading additional combo cards or by adding more figure packs. I would start buying anything Ben 10 related on the Early side this year. No telling how fast these things are going to sell after the movie comes out.
Zhu Zhu Pets seeem to be extremely popular all of a sudden and more than a little difficult to get. These are faux hamsters and each one is supposed to have its own personality and make unique sounds. These interactive toys have several buttons on them that allow you to change the mode or you can pet them behind the ears to let them know you are ready to cuddle. These pets do have motorized wheels so make sure that the kids don't sleep with them. Since this is an interactive toy the motor can turn on by itself and may get caught in the childs hair.
Bumblebee is without doubt the most popular Transformer hero of them all. Even Optimus Prime the Leader of the Transformers does not even come close to having the same status as Bumblebee. This toy features Bumblebee along with his best friend Sam. (The human from the movies) There are quite a few toys out there for Bumblebee and one of them is actually a little more popular than this one. It also has a lower rating from people that have bought it though. This means that Bumblebee with Sam will be our top pick for Transformers this year.
The most important job that a child has is to learn. This is not always an easy job if you are sitting there listening to a teacher drone on and on. Of course you know that kids spend a lot more time learning than just what they get in the classroom. The Leapfrog toys are designed to make learning fun and actually do a pretty good job of it. They combine one of the kids most favorite things with the lessons that are being taught. Video Games. There are tons of electronic learning toys out there now but Leapfrog is king.
The GX Racers are going to be a huge hit for the 2009 Christmas Season. These are new cars and they have a gyro in the middle that spins fast enough that these cars can go a scale 600mph. Don't worry though, these cars are only 1/64th scale. That means they are actually only moving about 10mph so they won't be flying around the house like bullets. They have several different styles of Gyros that can be changed out. They are designed to do different things such as stunts, racing, or off road. You can spin up the Gyro using a rip chord or they have launchers that you can use. The rip chord kind of reminds me of the motorcycles I use to get when I was a kid.
The Little Mommy Walk and Giggle Doll is a fully interactive toy that does just about everything that a toddler does. She can stand up by herself, walk, fall down, tell you when she is sleepy, and drink from a bottle. This toy was just released this year so it is completely new and a sure thing to be a hit this year. The doll uses servo motors and sensors to make it mobile and interactive. With over 60 phrases that the doll can say and the way that she can interact with the kids it should be a lot of fun.
The Wolverine Battle Claws are a very popular role play toy right now and will sell even faster as Christmas approaches. The main feature of them, other than the way they look, is that they make slashing sounds when the kids swipe them around. The Snap Circuits toys are winning awards and are without doubt one of the best educational toys out there. They are fun, educational, and come with all kinds of experiments for you to build. This is one toy that you will not mind helping your child play with. It is also one of the Hot Toys this Christmas. Just about any field that you decide to work in these days you will have to deal with some kind of electrical or electronic equipment. Even in our homes you can't turn your head without seeing something that either runs on batteries or plugs in to the wall.

The Cupcake Maker comes with four special cupcake mixes and frosting that are custom designed for use with this toy. The cake flavors include red velvet, chocolate, yellow, and cinnamon sugar; the frostings are chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and cream cheese flavored. These easy-to-use mixes, which contain no wheat ingredients--a definite plus for the gluten-free crowd--and require only water as an added ingredient. (Allergy alert: the mix does contain powdered eggs and powdered milk.) The toy comes with everything your child needs to mix, bake, and decorate the cupcakes: a tiny mixing bowl, measuring spoon, water dropper, and miniature spatula for mixing the batter and frosting; a microwaveable container for baking the cupcakes; and a cupcake frosting gadget with a shape reminiscent of a KitchenAid standing mixer.

The way that we pick the top selling Christmas gifts is not exactly scientific but it is pretty effective. We just monitor some of the bigger retailers to see what products they are selling the most of. Along with that you have to also pay attention to the commercials and recent movies. Something that I have found that is also invaluable is just talking to kids. They will tell you what is popular and what they want. < p> < p> Xmas 2008 - Top Gift
Ideas The 2008 Christmas Season is already here. Time sure flies by. We can help you find the best gifts for this Christmas Season and let you know what you need to buy soon. Before it is out of Stock. Unfortunately every year the top selling gifts will sell out and some people won't get what they really wanted.The thing that I love most about Christmas is watching the kids open the gifts. Every year I think it is all such a hassle. Going out and buying gifts, spending more money than I can really afford. It is all worth it come Christmas morning though. Just watching how excited the kids get when they open their presents and find the gifts that they really wanted.
Christmas 2008 Top Gifts
These toys will be some of the top sellers of the 2009 Christmas Season. Remember that it is best to do your Christmas shopping as early as possible. The most popular toys of the year have a tendency to start selling out shortly after Thanksgiving. Some of the best selling gifts this year are going to have a smaller price tag then the best sellers last year. This is due to the economic difficulties that I am sure you are well aware of. The toys that you can build on are expected to do well. Toys like the Bakugan stuff are inexpensive and you can keep adding to the collection to make it bigger and better.

The Starter Pack includes instructions, making it an ideal way for newbies to get started with this fun and exciting game. The game itself is fairly straightforward, but if your child has never played before, you might have to help him or her to understand the rules -- after reading and understanding them yourself. While some of the plastic Bakugan pieces are small and could easily get lost, others, like the Bakugan Deka, are as big as a softball.
The electronic tagger plays upbeat music and calls out voice commands to control the game, while players following the commands race against the clock to tag targets identified by color and number. Kids can play solo, up to four players can compete head-to-head, or up to eight players can work cooperatively in teams of two. There's even a level where kids need to solve addition and subtraction problems to figure out which target to strike next.
Air Hogs makes the only cars that can climb walls, and the Zero Gravity Micro is smaller and faster than the original Air Hogs Zero Gravity Humvee. We were surprised by how small and light the Zero Gravity Micro is; it is basically a thin plastic shell wrapped around a light body with a vacuum in it. Our car was designed to look like a red race car, but you can choose from other designs available as well.

Four players make this abstract game especially fast and exciting; however, it can be just as fun for two or three players. Blokus has come up with a number of different ways to play the game to make it more thrilling when playing with less than four players. Draft Blokus allows a player to use more than one color and Reverse Blokus reverses the entire game so that the person who places the least amount of tiles on the board is the winner. It can even be played in a solitaire version when one player attempts to place all of their pieces in a single sitting. A game of Blokus typically lasts a 30 minutes. As a practical feature, raised edges on the board help keep the tiles in place and allow convenient clean-up. This game includes 84 pieces in four vibrant colors, an instruction guide, and one gameboard with 400 squares.
Included are six template designs of varying degrees of difficulty that will help you get accustomed to using the studio. With the templates, kids can make strawberries, cherries, cats, dogs, and more! Some of the designs are three-dimensional, so they can stand on their own. Once these templates have been mastered, kids can create whatever they want and will only be limited by their imaginations.
The Bakugan come in lots of colors and varieties that make them fun to collect and trade. Most of them are pocket-sized and easy for your child to carry around and bring over to their friend's houses. The Dekas are are much bigger than the standard Bakugan, but still lightweight. Having a magnet that activates the warriors is a clever idea that adds excitement to the game. The optional Bakugan Launcher (sold separately) is a great accessory, with three shooting modes ("curve," "angle, and "distance"), but it doesn't come with any instructions.
Vtech - V.Smile TV Learning System
The games -- called "Smartridges" -- feature popular favorite characters like Scooby Doo, Dora, Thomas, and Shrek. Each Smartridge includes four or five additional learning zone games aimed at improving specific scholastic skills. This system comes bundled with one Smartridge.

These toys are great for helping young children with their learning because it lets them have their own computer just like Mom and Dad. My son has a little table in the computer room and when I go in to work on my computer then he comes right with me to work on his. If you are looking for an educational toy that your children will actually use then these are a good way to go. They have a low price tag and are a good deal for all of the use that they will get out of it. These are primarily for younger children that are working on early Math & Reading skills.
Kindle: Amazon's Wireless Reading Device
The screen is designed to look like you are reading something off of actual paper. It is pretty cool the way that this thing looks and works. It is also extremely popular. Far more popular then I expected it would be. Unfortunately this popularity means that Amazon is currently sold out of the Kindle. You can still order one but it is going to have over a 2 month lead time. If you want to get one before Christmas you still can but you will most likely have to pay a little extra for it.
