Children and adults ages 6 and up will love the EBF-25, the largest full auto blaster that Nerf makes. It lets you shoot 25 sonic micro darts at up to 3 darts per second for an offensive assault. Watch as the belt feeds automatically through the blaster, letting the barrage of firepower continue as you battle your opponent. The piston-powered internal launching system makes it an unstoppable force! My personal favorite from the hottest Christmas toys list.

A loving puppy that deserves its place in the hot Christmas toys listings.

Baby Alive Learns To Potty

Playing ‘mommy’ is even more realistic with this very sweet Baby Alive Learns To Potty doll! Press the doll’s bracelet to ‘wake’ her up. It’s time to eat! Mix her special food and feed her, using her bowl and spoon she’ll really ‘chew’ her food and even ‘drink’ from her bottle and tell you how much she likes it! And since Baby Alive is also ‘potty training’, she’ll also let you know when she needs to go. You’d better hurry, though! Put her on the potty and she’ll ‘pee’ and ‘poop’. But if you don’t get there in time, you might hear her say, ‘Oops. I had an accident!’ Change Baby Alive’s messy diaper and she’ll be happy once again. Moving up fast in the hottest Christmas toys list.

Bakugan Brawlers Battle Pack

With this Bakugan Battle Pack, kids 4 and above will enjoy the challenge of earning points by rolling their Bakugan (or shooting them from a launcher) onto magnetic cards where the plastic spheres burst open to reveal the fearsome warrior apparatus inside. The popular and fun TV series “Bakugan Battle Brawlers” has spawned this strategic game that pits a variety of Bakugan warriors — such as “Juggernoids,” “Fear rippers,” and “Robatallians” — against each other for points. This could end up being the #1 hottest Christmas toy this year.

These are just 5 of the hottest Christmas toys this year and there are many more to choose from, but, seeing as they are hot Christmas toys they are extremely popular. And since Christmas is just around the corner your preferred selection could very well sell out if you delay any longer.

The Old Hamster Wheel is Out! Check out These Fun Toys for Hamsters and Gerbils

Last week, my mother gave my son Eric a hamster for his 6th birthday. I kind of looked at the thing with disgust, I must say. But as the days went by, that furry little thing won my heart. Now, it is no longer a “thing” for me; now it has a name: Hanky.

Hanky is quite a pal. He gets pretty scared when I vacuum my son’s room. I take him out -in his cage, of course- to the yard. I guess he must enjoy the sun.

I still owed Eric his birthday present. So, I asked that dreaded question “What do you want for your birthday?” I secretly feared: a Wii, an iPod. What do you want, for Pete’s sake! Speak now or forever hold your peace. I was flabbergasted at his response: a toy for good old Hanky.

That made perfect sense. After all, as the old saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. Well, in this case Hanky. So, I set to getting him a toy. I thought a wheel was the most you could get, when it came to toys for hamsters. Well, I was wrong.

I checked out PetGadgets, and I was amazed to find the Super Pet CritterTrail Puzzle Playground. Yeah, the real deal. First of all, it is completely made of plastic, so it is very easy to wash. And it looks like real fun! Tunnels, and ramps for Hanky to climb, mazes, you name it. You get to design your toy, since the customer assembles the parts together in the shapes he likes the most. Sweet! Oh, and really inexpensive.

You wouldn’t believe what a cute object the FerreTrail Bubble Play Kit is. It consists basically of two bubble wave tubes, a number of connectors, an elbow, a tee, and a round around ball. I could picture Hanky running around the ball like crazy. Sure, it sounds like fun. It is also made of plastic, and you can make your own design, since the pieces fit together perfectly. Very important piece of information for mommies: it’s odorless.

I almost died when I saw the Critter Cruiser. It is actually a racing wheel, with the shape of a car. It’s lovely. It looks like one of my son’s toy cars. If you adjust it properly, the Cruiser will move in three directions on any flat surface. I figured it was a nice way to fulfill two purposes: exercise Hanky -he has put on some weight since he came home-, and find a nice way for Eric to play with his hamster without hurting him.

Needless to say, I ended up buying all three things. That made us all three -Eric, Hanky, and myself- extremely happy. The perfect birthday present for a little guy with a furry pet.

Most families are experiencing tighter than normal times with the economy the way it is so how can you still enjoy summer vacation with your kids?

There are several inexpensive swimming pools on the market today many under $300 that are easy to assemble quickly in your backyard. You just need to decide where the most level place is to put your swimming pool up.

Once you decide where to put your swimming pool, it’s time to fill it up. When I was a kid living in Ohio, it didn’t matter that the water was only 60 degrees we just wanted to swim! That’s the same way it will be for your kids also. Just keep an eye on those blue lips.

Adding some fun swimming pool toys and floats will make your backyard oasis feel even more like a vacation. There are great floats that also double as snow tubes in the winter time so if you choose carefully, you’ll get double the fun. Snow tubes are manufactured of durable vinyl with hand grips guaranteeing a great time summer or winter. Pool floats are great for the adults too. There are several pool floats available today that will hold 2 adults along with their drinks. Or try a fun island to float around the pool with your kids.

Some pool toys are battery operated and others are kid powered. Super Subbies available in animal shapes such as Squiddy and Manty or as Magical Mermaids use 2 AA batteries for hours of fun. These little guys have random motion technology so you never know where they’ll go next. Dive N Rise Torpedo Sharks and Dolphins are kid powered. Your child tosses them into the pool and they surface just like a shark or dolphin. The Glow in the Dark Shark is great for day or night play. All of these pool toys retail less than $10 which is very important to guarantee fun while not breaking the bank. These toys are great dog toys too!

New for 2008 is Scoobarang which is the world’s only underwater boomerang. How cool is this toy? This pool toy is made of soft vinyl for safety and boomerangs back to the thrower. It can also be used to skip on top of the water or as part of a game to see who can catch the boomerang the most.

Once you have gotten the kids set up with their fun stuff, how about some great accessories to make life easy for you? An awesome must-have backyard accessory is the 5 Piece Table Set that you place in your pool. This allows you to create your own swim-up bar just like those expensive all-inclusive resorts. Enjoy a cold drink while relaxing in your pool.

Windy day? Use Boca Clips to keep those towels on the chairs. Crafted in adorable animal shapes, these towel clips hold the towel on the back of the chair so you won’t have to chase your towels anymore. Tired of picking up towels? Pool and spa towel holder to the rescue. Simply place this adjustable towel holder near your back door and your kids will automatically hang up their towels as they’re heading in. Accessory tray can also hold goggles, sun block, and more in one easy to find place and it retails less than $50.
