It’s CYBER MONDAY! Today is yet another day to take advantage of some major savings in time for the holidays. Whether you are celebrating Hanukkah or Christmas or another special occasion, December is the month of giving. I’ve already published two gift guides (click here for Holiday Hostess and click her for Gifts for Her) and today it is about the littles! I’ve unearthed the hottest toys for girls and boys with direct links for more information.
As far as where to shop for toys, TARGET is one of several big box retailers that is offering Cyber Monday sales. Today, you can get 15% off prices, and this applies to some already red hot Black Friday prices. But, as you can imagine, there’s quite a bit of competition today among retailers. I encourage you to shop around to see if you can get better deals from places like Amazon, Walmart, TOYSRUS and Kmart. They will carry many of the toys in my lineup.
In preparation for this Hottest Toys Gift Guide, I’ve read multiple different reviews and done my own research. I have a 13-year old boy and a 5-year old girl which gives me an experienced perspective on what to recommend. I’ve separated my top toy picks by age group to make it easier for you to zoom in on options. My gift guide includes all types of toys from tv/movie characters to building and creativity, some that squish and others that are just plain fun!
And finally, I’ve rounded up the most in demand tech toys and gadgets for that tech-hungry person on your gift giving list. Happy Shopping!
