eToys 2005 Hot Holiday Toys List
|
DENVER, Oct. 25, 2005 -- There's Tom and Lindsay, and Justin and Jessica and who can forget baby Ashley. With so many kids to buy for, it's no wonder that parents and grandparents become frazzled each holiday in their never-ending search to find the perfect gifts for the beloved children in their life. This year, there's hope with the release of a comprehensive hot list from eToys (www.etoys.com), the one-stop shop for children's toys, video games and kid's room decor online.
From hard-to-find specialty toys to engaging educational toys to the holiday season's most popular must-haves, eToys' list offers multiple gift suggestions for each age group, including baby, toddler (1-2 years), pre-school (3-5 years), elementary (6-8 years), tween (9-12 years) and teen (13-16 years). Each category features a mix of nationally advertised toys, specialty toys, educational toys and picks for boys and girls.
"Each year the buyers at eToys are extremely accurate with their predictions for the holiday season's top toys, but this year we wanted to take it a step further," said Michael Wagner, eToys Direct CEO. "By selecting significantly more toys, and then breaking them down by age, we are providing parents and grandparents with a foolproof guide to holiday shopping for kids."
