Top 12 Christmas Gifts Commentary

Review of the (British) Toy Retailers Association press release indicates that Music takes the Girls category by storm, with the Bratz Girlz Really Rock Dolls, High School Musical Sing Together Dolls and the film-inspired Camp Tock Gift Pack making it on the wish lists of aspiring rock stars.

TV and film inspire the Boys category this year, with nearly all of the selection featuring characters from movies.

It is interesting how many of the British Toy Retailers Association's toys for 2008 reflect the same Top Toys in North America, based upon similar articles of Hot Christmas Toys for the Holidays Season. Check Top 12 Christmas Gifts for its continued additions to top Christmas gifts for children.
