Now, we’ve had the men, we’ve had the women, so it would only be fair that we compile a list of what the kids are after this Christmas. Every year it’s “Mum, can I have this?” or “Dad, I want that!”, so make sure you’re up to date with the hottest presents this year to ensure that you’re child won’t be disappointed with Santa’s deliveries!
1. Monty the Penguin
We all know him from the award-winning John Lewis advert, but now is the chance to get even more warm and cosy this Christmas with a cuddle from their very own Monty the Penguin soft toy. Demand for these has been through the roof and the shelves are already looking very bare, so for £35 make sure you head on down to John Lewis to feast your eyes on the ever-expanding ‘Monty and Mable’ range.
2. Ice Skating Elsa Doll
It has been one of the most popular films of the year, and is continuing to score points in many family homes. I’m sure many of your young ones will be disappointed if they don’t have an ice skating Elsa waiting for them under the tree on Christmas Day. But you better get your skates on (pardon the pun) and show your face in Argos whilst these hot cakes are only £25.49. Christmas? Consider it sorted!
3. Zoomer Dalmation
Something predominantly for the boys here, and there’s no surprise considering the remote control, gadgetey looking creature that this is. Zoomer Dalmations are the new craze for this year and it’s largely what all the children are talking about in the school playground. Find yours at your nearest Tesco for a hefty £59.99 – you can always rely on your kids to break the bank!
4. Xbox One
As we all know, having one gaming console is never enough and if its not the most recent release then, well, you’ve got no chance. So this is why the Xbox One is sought after for many teens this Christmas. Next level gaming and brand new adventures to embark on, surely Santa wouldn’t let them down? (Oh, I forgot to mention the £349.99 price tag!)
5. DohVinci Style and Store Vanity Set
It’s every girl’s dream to have the perfect hair and make-up, and in order to acheive that, you need the perfect mirror to stare at yourself in. Cue DohVinci Style and Store Vanity Kit. This allows them to design and decorate their mirror in their own unique style. What’s more, they can even pair this up with a number of other DohVinci products that are within this year’s hottest range. Fabulous! So for only £19.99 at Argos, don’t be a Scrooge this Christmas.
6. Kidizoom Smart Watch
Getting a new watch is exciting for anyone, never mind their age! And there’s no surprise that this has made into the Top 10 for this Christmas. With exciting new features, interactivities and games, your son or daughter will look the coolest kid on the block with this piece of arm candy! What’s more, the price isn’t too frightening either – £29.99 from Toys R Us – bargain!
7. Furby Boom
The new generation of Furby’s is hatching! They were always a winner on their first appearance, so it’s no wonder that the kids are after them again! With loads more content, interaction and colours, Furby’s are invading the shelves of many toy shops this festive season. They can even interact with their Furby using the Furby Boom app! Sounds great, right?! That’s right, collect them all at £39.99 each at The Entertainer!
8. Nerf Demolisher
This is where Nerf Wars get stepped up a level. Be prepared to be sabotaged whilst you’re preparing that turkey if one of these is waiting patiently under your Christmas tree. The Nerf Demolisher is the new member to the Nerf family and it’s at the top of a number of Christmas lists. If you’ve got kids that love to cause mischief, then this is one for them. 2-in-1 bullet blasters are priced at £33.99 from Smyths Toy Store.
9. My Friend Cayla
My friend Cayla is just like a real friend. You can talk to her, play games with her and get to know her like a part of your family. It would seem that the generation of Baby Annabelle is in the past since this chick has hit the town. Who needs real friends when they’ve got Cayla by their side?! She needs picking up from Argos for around £59.99 – sound good to you?
10. My Monopoly
My Monopoly is the most interactive Monopoly board game to date. Set up a personalised account online and use this to create your own properties and places that appear on the board. It’s the fun and exciting evolution of board games, so get up to speed with the 21st century and get your hands on one of these. Come on, it’s an easy one to wrap!
So even if you’ve threatened Santa’s naughty list this year, or even if you have a child that wants everything, there must be something that you can surprise them with on Christmas Day. Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy one of these gifts and, well, that’s kind of the same thing!
