We’re back again for the 2009 Christmas season and I know parents everywhere (like me) are wondering what to get their kids. First of all, the economy is suffering – so our budgets might be a little tighter. You might get fewer toys or buy cheaper toys – but you want a good deal!!

What’s hot this year? For boys it’s going to be Bakugan Battle Brawlers 6 pack. It’s the #2 selling toy for boys on Amazon right now!

For girls, it’s probably going to be the Vtech Kidizoom Digital Camera in Pink.

Toddlers are toppling all toy sales on Amazon with the Elmo Live Doll! It’s now the #1 top selling toy on Amazon!

Here are some of the other most popular toys for Christmas 2008 and there’ll be more gift buying tips to come, so bookmark this page for later:

Elmo Live is two things – it’s a live stage show you can take your kids to, PLUS it’s an animated Elmo doll that will bring thousands of smiles to your little one’s face!

This Elmo toy dances and sings – he plays games with your kids. He even crosses his legs and tells jokes! That’s very silly. This Christmas toy for 2008 is going to be flying off shelves. Remember Tickle Me Elmo? Same thing – it was a duel between parents to see who could grab their kid the last Elmo doll in the store.
