Like a Kid on Christmas
The ultimate guide for the hottest toys of 2017
Is there anything more humbling than watching your wide-eyed child open presents on Christmas morning? All your time spent searching for the perfect gifts has led up to this moment — and your little one is none the wiser to your behind-the-scenes efforts.
You know your child like the back of your hand, but the trouble is getting 4- to 7-year-olds to articulate exactly what’s on their letters to Santa this year. Leave it to Gift Hero to get inside the mind of a child with our Christmas Toy Watch 2017 wish list. No coal here.
All things retro have finally trickled into the toy market with Tickle Me Elmo and Teddy Ruxpin reemerging from your childhood and Barbie’s Dream House and the View Master getting a 21st-century makeover — one step closer to your kids thinking you’re a trendsetter.
The element of surprise is never lost on children, and Hatchimals and L.O.L. Surprise are leading the bandwagon with new friends waiting to be uncovered. It’s like the gift of Christmas that keeps on giving.
For instant gratification, your kids will appreciate a FurReal Friend, Fingerling, or Luvabella that all respond to your touch with sound and motion that only an interactive playmate can provide — almost enough to get them to stop asking for that puppy every year.
And for little ones who want to hang with the big kids, it’s time for them to show off their hot new ride-along Star Wars Landspeeder and VTech smartwatch that captures photos and videos, plus educational games in disguise for the kid at heart.
Stick with Gift Hero’s predictions for what’s hot this year, and your kids will thank you…umm…Santa.
