Top 10 Christmas Presents 2008

Does anybody have any idea about what kids are going to be wanting for xmas this year......every xmas im sick of struggling to find stock in the shops and being forced to pay top prices, im going to get the main prezzies early this year and make the most of bargains and bundles....
My sugestions are:
Nintendo Ds
Nintendo Wii
PSP LITE
XBOX 360
PLAYSTATION 3

Those with younger children are prob going to be looking at:
STARWARS
IN THE NIGHT GARDEN
RORY
DISNEY PRINCESS
DORA
THOMAS

Ive been looking around and theres loads of half price offers on...every year i wait for the last minuete deals and always lose out as theres never enough stock.

Does anyone have any ideas??????

  • I'd definitely agree with the Nintendo Wii & DS - our daughter wanted a DS for Christmas last year and we couldn't get one anywhere as we left it too late. Anyway, our son wants one this year .....we bought it back in February.

    This year my daughter (she's 8) is really into Puppy in My Pocket, as are alot of her friends and I have struggled to get one of the houses she wanted, so I'm guessing those are quite popular this year!
  • My kids are mad on Doctor Who (as they were last year...)

    So would add them as they have produced a load of new figures again for this year, and have re-done some of the classic series figures as well.

    I have mine all upstairs in a box (labeled Hanna Monttana LOL)

    HTH
    :D:D:D:D:D
    Where's the Coffee?? Show me the Coffee NOW!!
  • Have to agree the lego star wars figures are actually quite popular. I struggled to get some in september for my sons birthday!

    I guess we are lucky as we got him a ds for his birthday although there was a bit of a panic as his favourite colour is red and only found 1 shop within a 50 mile radius who had a red ds! luckily I planned in advance or he wouldn't have one!

  • Ive noticed Argos have got alot of deals on at the moment like there PSP bundles. Toys ru have got some half price offers on like thomas rail sets.
    If anyone see's any more bargains on the popular stuff please let everyone know!

    I think the wii fit will be one - so I got mine in August and it is all wrapped up...
