The 2008 eToys Hot Holiday Toy List Makes It Easy to Find Perfect Holiday Gifts for Babies, Kids and Teens

Online Retailer’s Toy Picks Range from the Season’s Must-Haves to the Most Family Friendly

The toy experts at leading online toy retailer eToys.com, a member of The Parent Company, have released their highly anticipated annual Hot Holiday Toys List, a comprehensive and foolproof guide of multiple toy gift suggestions, from the popular must-haves to the most family fun. The list, which is divided into age groups, is an invaluable tool for parents and grandparents faced with the daunting task of searching out toys that will engage and entertain from those that will end up at the bottom of the toy bin days after the holidays.

“Children of all ages look forward to opening that special present each holiday season. We create our Hot Holiday Toy List each year with that in mind,” explained Michael Wagner, CEO, The Parent Company. “Not only does our list help make shopping for that perfect toy gift a simple and fun experience, it also helps empower our customers by giving them information to make informed buying decisions.”

Among the trends found on this year’s eToys.com holiday toy list are music-inspired and licensed toys, including the ever-popular High School Musical 3 and Hannah Montana items, and tech toys, such as LeapFrog’s Tag Reading System, with its high-tech pen that features a camera in the tip that reads aloud text from specially printed books.

In addition to the toys listed below, eToys also posts an expanded listing of hot holiday toy picks at www.eToys.com .
