Christmas 'Must Haves'? Let's speculate

Hi

Every Christmas there are some things for which demand outstrips supply. I can think of the Wii last year and we have had Tracey Island and Buzz Lightyear previously.

What do you think will be the 2008 Christmas 'Must Have'?

Let's get our thinking caps on and try to save some money by getting in there early this time :D

    Wouldn't it be nice if the Christmas Must have was a Cardboard Box or something, chasing round looking for Nintendo's, Wii's etc is mostly what I do all of December !!

    I'm not getting sucked in to the "must haves" any more.

    Last year people went mad for 'Iggle Piggle' toys.........wonder how many of them have been dumped in the toy box untouched for months, lol
