Top Toys for 2006

Well besides some of the apparent obvious like the new gaming systems and the ever illusive Elmo TMX here are some of the supposed top toys to be on the look out for this holiday season. I myself am in need of serious help in finding things for my little ones!

A top ten list from about.com includes these.
1. Elmo TMX
2. Fisher Price Digital Camera (my boys are getting these)
3. Barbie My Scene Bling Bling Head
4. Power Rangers Megazoids
5. Lego Mindstorms *great for older kids but $250
6. Speedstacks Stack Pack
7. DigiMakeover
8. Bratx Forever Diamondz
9. Nintendo Wii
10. Butterscotch My Furreal Friends

Other worthwhile and good things.

Zingo - there is a regular version and a superhero version. It is a child's version of bingo. Fun and Easy

Snap 'n Style Dolls - these look like big Polly Pocket type things for toddlers. The clothes snap on and off so they can dress them themselves. Very cute. Different dolls to choose from

Superman Laptop - just too much fun to watch it open when you wave your hand over the top

Gameboy - the best price on these is going to be Black Friday Doorbuster at Circuit City *49.99 - if you know of a better price let me know!

We decided to get the spiffy cute pink costco kitchen this year too. Way cute.

I will probably be updating this post with more stuff. Really this christmas has me stumped for gift giving.

How many shopping days are left . . .

People shopping all around,
For great deals to be found.
All the gifts they must find,
No one will be left behind.
Here are my tips to find a deal,
To help your wallet start to heal!

Really the sales are just beginning and the Black Friday ads are already popping up all over the internet. This is my favorite black friday site. BFADS
or Gotta Deals site

Discounted Tickets to events in Atlantasame day, 1/2 price tickets for theatre, dance, music, and cultural attractions

Never shop online without first searching for a coupon! There is generally speaking some sort of discount code floating around cyber-space.
My favorite coupon board is savings-center! or flamingo world. For technology type deals techbargains is the best listing. And for general all over good deals try slickdeals. Just leave something behind for me. :)

best of luck to you as you check everyone off of your list!
