Press Release Summary: Littlewoods Direct make Christmas buying easier for parents with their What's hot for Christmas lists of this year's top gifts to provide some much needed inspiration
Press
Release Body: Christmas is always a difficult time for parents who want to buy
the latest and hottest toys for their children. Every year there are new 'must
have' toys and games, and knowing what the current ones to buy is a headache
for many families. This year Littlewoods Direct has sought
to make things a bit easier for parents by providing a What's hot for Christmas
section to their site to provide some much needed inspiration.
The Littlewoods Direct What’s hot for Christmas section
provides several top
ten toys lists split into gifts for boys, gifts for girls, as well as providing
ideas for what to get mums and dads. Gift ideas can also be filtered by price
or TV show.
Toys
and games always come out top as presents for kids or all ages at Christmas,
and this year the number one kids' toy is the High School Musical plug and play
karaoke which allows children to simply plug the microphone into the TV and
then Sing-along with 10 High School Musical songs.
For girls the X Factor board game, which takes players through the journey of
an X Factor contestant, passing through Auditions, Boot Camp, the Judges Houses
and all the way to the Final, is one of the most wanted gifts this year.
For boys the 49-piece JCB Durable Workbench is one of the most fun and engaging
toys for Christmas, while the feature packed Star Wars Millennium Falcon is
sure to be one of the most sought after gifts for older boys, although dads
may have to stop playing with it first.
For younger children the Sesame Street Elmo Live is the one of the most talked
about soft
toys this year. For the first time ever, Elmo seems to actually be speaking
as his mouth opens and closes just like the real muppet, Elmo from Sesame Street.
He waves his arms, sits and stands, even crosses his legs all the while telling
stories and jokes, singing songs and playing games.
For slightly older kids, the Nintendo
DS Lite is again for the third year, the number one 'must have' console
for both boys and girls.
With so many 'must have' Christmas gift ideas, Littlewoods Direct
want to ensure that everyone gets what they really want this year.
