Holiday Must Haves 2018
By EMILY PENSABENE
Late November and December are when people really go crazy with holiday shopping. Between Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and constant deals from stores, people are always shopping for their loved ones. There’s always people that are hard to buy for, so knowing the 2018 holiday must haves is extremely handy.
One popular toy for kids is “Fingerlings Hugs”. Last year, Fingerlings were very popular; they were little toy monkeys that could hang from stuff with their tail. This year, the company made “Fingerlings Hugs”. This particular toy has long arms that give hugs and kids can even throw them, tickle them, and hug them. This toy is for ages 4 and up, Sommer reports.
A popular toy for preschoolers is Let's Dance Elmo. It’s an Elmo toy that can sing and dance and it has three musical modes, Sommer notes.
The Amazon website has a section named “Amazon Gift Ideas” with the caption “Our most popular products ordered as gifts. Updated daily." They have several categories ranging from Toys and Games to CDs and Vinyls.
One must have gift for adults is the Echo Dot (3rd Gen). It’s a newer version of the regular Amazon Alexa. The new Echo Dot has a better speaker, had over 50,000 skills, she can control your home (lights, locks), and much more. There is not much that Alexa can’t do.
Currently, the most popular movie that can be bought for someone is the Incredibles 2 movie. Even though it is a kids movie, it’s a very entertaining Disney movie for all ages. It contains themes that both older and younger people can enjoy.
The most popular toy for kids is the L.O.L. Surprise! Glam Glitter Series Doll with 7 Surprises. L.O.L. dolls are another toy that was very popular in 2017 as well. In the new toy, there are seven surprises: a secret message sticker, regular/collectible stickers, a water bottle, shoes, an outfit, a fashion accessory, and a L.O.L. doll. These dolls are a must have because they can be fed or bathed and even change colors, "Gift Ideas" tells consumers.
