Crayola Glow Dome, crayola crayon maker, Apple iPod Touch (3rd Generation), Razor Spark Scooter, Connect 4x4
what a great list! The Razor Spark is fun if you're an experiences scooter kid---if you're starting out, look at the Maxi Scooter from Kickboard USA. The Glow Dome won an Gold Award from us (it's fun and you can keep redesigning your dome which is cool--the motor is kind of loud but didn't upset our testers)...and the Crayon Maker is even better this time around and made our top list of award winners again. All the reviews are on toyportfolio.com. Connect 4x4 is a nice twist on the original--but our testers didn't like the gimmick of the Spongebob version even though that's the one they all wanted to test!

Our family has decided that Santa has a big weight on his shoulders this Christmas, so instead of everyone getting something they are asking Santa for one present for all. They would like the Wii and then each kid chooses a game. From Grandparents we are asking for a contribution towards summer camp and/or dance lessons. We don't need more stuff and quite frankly, the kids don't play with anything anymore. They are more than happy when I come home from the dollar store w/ paints, crayons, stickers and paper. So why waste the money? The experience of Camp and dance lessons is more valuable than things. Other than the Wii, it seems they want nothing else.
Kathleen--I think that's great. I also love that there is the opportunity that your family will share in playing some of the wii games together. It's a new day--so if it's not gathering around the Monopoly board any more, that's ok--it's really more about making those connections. Dance and camp--provide so much more than a bunch of stuff. Funny, since I spend my entire year reviewing "stuff"...I sometimes feel like George Carlin must be laughing at us somewhere. To me, it's about making memories...with the exception of a few toys, our memories from our childhood tend to be more about events and doing things with the ones we love.
Littlest Pet Shops are still # 1 for my daughter - 3 years running... she will be 10.
For my nephew, it is the Rocky The Robot Truck (which is onsale at Sears.com).

happy shopping everyone -
Wow--she's really loyal. I had a little 2 1/2 year old boy ask me for Polly Pockets. Actually he asked me if I knew Polly Pockets...as in know her? He also wants the truck! The truck is a cute novelty--but it's not the kind of truck you'd take to the park or play with outside. Watch my video of Rocky interacting with Monty the T-Rex (another hot toy this season).
