Every year, the major online retailers come out with their Top 15 Christmas Toy lists. These selections are typically based on the massive amounts of marketing data they have compiled and generally rather accurate when it comes to predicting the hottest Christmas gifts of the season.

2011 Holiday Hot Toy List

LEGO Ninjago Ice Dragon Attack - One of the cool things about these toys is that there are no stickers at all. That's right; all of the amazing detail is actually printed on the blocks themselves. Talk about cool!

Moshi Monsters Moshlings - These are fun, collectible toys that your kids will love to play with all year round. Each pack comes with a code that they can use online for even more creative fun.

Air Swimmers -We certainly did not have anything this cool when I was a kid. This remote controlled shark can be controlled from as far as 50 feet away and actually floats via helium.

LeapFrog LeapPad - My son would literally play with his leapster for hours if we let him. The cool thing is that since the games are educational in nature, he is having fun while learning valuable skills such as math, reading, and logical reasoning.

Skylander's Spyro's Adventure - It was only a matter of time before manufacturers developed a way to full integrate virtual video games with physical toys. This one is sure to sell out fast this Christmas.

Sesame Street Let's Rock Elmo -This cute Sesame Street toy will provide hours of entertainment for your son or daughter. What many parents like most about it is that it actually helps small children with their development and motor skills will making them laugh and giggle.

As the parent of a six month old, I understand how much fun it is to shop for your new baby. These little bundle of joys really help put things into perspective. With that being said, it is important to remember that what your son or daughter really needs are simply, yet practical gifts.

A few months ago, one of our friends gave us the Cloud B Gentle Giraffe. Besides being cute and soft, it makes smoothing sounds that often helps to soothe our son. In fact, when we are on the move we generally attact it to his car seat so that he cannot inadvertantly drop it. I cannot recommend this toy any higher; it is awesome!

Here are the things that will not only entertain your children, but also provide a bit of usefulness for you!

One your child gets mobile, your entire thought process when buying gifts has to change. No longer will your kids sit quitely and watch people move about their business. In this stage of life, toddlers are constantly in motion; never really sitting down for very long. As such, here are a few of the best Christmas gifts for toddlers.

Little boys are so much fun to shop for at Christmas. It would be safe to say that anything that makes a lot of noise, moves really fast, or involves going outside is a safe bet. Of course, our favorites involve anything that helps them to burn off some of their excess energy.

We actually started our son off with a balance bike. While it is certainly true that he enjoys riding it still, he actually enjoys using the petals of a normal trike better. We ended up buying him a normal bike with training wheels. Hopefully by the end of this year he will be riding it without them!

Little girls, on the other hand, prefer to play with cute little dolls. As such, Barbie dolls, playhouse, and related accessories are always popular. One new gift trend that we have noticed over the past few years is anything related to arts and crafts. Pretty much anything that allows your little one the freedom to express her creativity will work out well!

Of course, just about every little girl loves to dress up as a princess, or in a cute green fairy costume, so clothes will work nicely as well.
