It may be summer now, but before you know it the holidays will be here. And between work, taking care of the family and everything else parents (and grandparents, aunts and uncles!) have to do, it’s always a challenge to get your Christmas and holiday shopping for the kids done without any stress. Luckily, Amazon helps out big time by releasing its annual Hottest Holiday Toys list each year. On it, you’ll find over 100 toys for all ages that the shopping site predicts will be flying off the shelves come December.
While we patiently wait for Amazon to drop its 2021 list, we’ve rounded up the games, gadgets, dolls and everything else we think will land a spot in the coveted digital catalog. Our list includes toys that are trending now on the site per Amazon’s Hot New Releases and Amazon’s Best Sellers, as well as top-tested picks from the toy experts and resident parents in the Good Housekeeping Institute. The best part: Everything here is $30 or less.
Want more great toy recommendations? We have expert- and kid- approved picks for every child on your list: 2-year-olds, 3-year-old boys, 3-year-old girls, 4-year-old boys, 4-year-old girls, 5-year-old boys, 5-year-old girls, 6-year-old boys, 6-year-old girls, 7-year-old boys, 7-year-old girls, 8-year-old boys, 8-year-old girls, 9-year-old boys, 9-year-old girls, 10-year-old boys, 10-year-old girls, 11-year-old boys, 11-year-old girls, 12-year-olds, 13-year-old boys and 13-year-old girls.
