Top Gifts For Boys - Christmas 2010

 The 2010 Christmas season is here and it is time to go shopping. Make sure that all of the little boys on your Christmas list get exactly the gift that they were wanting. As always recent movies, trends, and commercials will influence the results for the best selling toys of the year.

While video games are always extremely popular don't forget that a child needs to spend a very limited amount of time playing these each day. Do not forget about toys that will exercise their imaginations and their bodies, instead of just their thumbs. 

Spy Net Secret Mission Watch

The Spy Net Secret Mission Watch is the ultimate in spy gear for your child. It takes video, records audio, takes still pictures, and plays it all back on the screen of the watch. It also has a rechargeable battery so you don't have to worry about replacing batteries all of the time.

This is a must have for the little spy guys this year and it looks like something that BatMan would wear. If you're child is in to technology and spy games he will love this little gadget.

Syma S107 Indoor Metal Frame Remote Controlled Helicopter

These little remote control helicopters are really a blast. Since they have started being made I have not met a kid yet that does not love them. The biggest draw back is that they can only be used in-doors. If you take them outside and there is any wind at all then they will crash, or worse just fly away.

These things can be flown by young children but I have noticed that the younger the child the sooner the toy is destroyed. They are not expensive though and the kids get a lot of fun out of them before they do break.

The Syma Metal Frame RC Copter is the newest of these mini RC helicopters and we expect that these will be a little tougher then the older foam and plastic models.

Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100

The Snap Circuits kits are one of the best educational toys on the market. They teach your child about electricity and electronic circuits and do a great job of it. Any child that is inquisitive and likes to learn will really enjoy the Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100.

This toy has been a popular Christmas gift for several years now and has won several awards for being one of the best educational toys out there. While people often will think of getting this for a boy, it makes a great gift for girls as well.

Although this toy is definitely educational it is also loads of fun. There are different experiments and circuits that you set up that will make lights work, bells chime, and the flying saucer fly.

Stinky The Garbage Truck

Stinky the garbage truck is the cousin of Rocky the Robot Truck and are both made by Matcbox. These toys are great fun for the younger kids of around 3-5. If your boys are getting older than that they would probably get bored with it fairly quickly.

It is an interactive toy that says over 90 different phrases and songs, can stand up by himself, and even exercises. His grill works like a mouth that you can open up and feed him toy cars or other small items when he says that he is hungry. (They are not gone forever, they come out the backend later.)

Stinky is a colorful character and promises to be just as popular as his cousin was last year.

Beyblade Metal Fusion Super Vortex Battle Set

The Beyblade Metal Fusion Super Vortex Battle Set comes with two tops and is ready to go. You can make changes to the tops to try and make them more effective against your opponents. This game is a lot of fun and will be a popular hit for the 2010 Christmas season.

There are a lot of other battle tops available as well, so you can build on this toy and make it where more than two can play at a time. It is pretty much the old battle tops toy from years ago but it has went through a lot of upgrades and is far cooler.

Multi Voice Changer by Toysmith

The Multi Voice Changer by Toysmith makes such a great gift because it is a great addition to a child's own imagination. It lets them talk in all kinds of different voices and is really a blast. If your child ever shows an interest in playing make believe then this toy will be a big hit.

Top Gifts For Boys - Christmas 2009

Find the 2009 Christmas Top Gifts for Boys. Christmas is coming up fast and it is time to start deciding what to buy for the little men in your life. Recent movies like Transformers 2, G.I. Joe, and the Upcoming Ben 10 movie are still fresh in their minds and they love their favorite heroes.

Bakugan is also still a very popular game with children and you of course can't forget to get them a few things with some educational benefit. As one of the educational toys we highly recommend the Snap Circuits toys. (Pictured below) This is a great toy that teaches about electricity and the kids just love it.

  Rocky The Robot Truck

This is the dump truck that we all wish we had as a child. This thing has a pretty rugged design so it can stand up to a boy playing with it. This is far more than the plain old dump truck that we played with as kids though.

In the trend of today's toys this is an interactive type toy. Meaning it has sensors and can respond to certain things. I am sure you have seen the various robots, dinosaurs, and puppies that come out with this kind of stuff now.

  GX Racers Super Jump

The GX Racers are going to be a huge hit for the 2009 Christmas Season. These are new cars and they have a gyro in the middle that spins fast enough that these cars can go a scale 600mph. Don't worry though, these cars are only 1/64th scale. That means they are actually only moving about 10mph so they won't be flying around the house like bullets.

They have several different styles of Gyros that can be changed out. They are designed to do different things such as stunts, racing, or off road. You can spin up the Gyro using a rip chord or they have launchers that you can use. The rip chord kind of reminds me of the motorcycles I use to get when I was a kid.

Bumblebee with Sam

Bumblebee is without doubt the most popular Transformer hero of them all. Even Optimus Prime the Leader of the Transformers does not even come close to having the same status as Bumblebee. This toy features Bumblebee along with his best friend Sam. (The human from the movies) There are quite a few toys out there for Bumblebee and one of them is actually a little more popular than this one. It also has a lower rating from people that have bought it though. This means that Bumblebee with Sam will be our top pick for Transformers this year.

 Wolverine Claws

Wolverine was one of the most popular movie with kids this year. Although I was worried that the movie may be too violent and grown up for my son he finally wore me down and I let him see it. There has never been a question that Wolverine was the coolest of the X-men characters. With the recent movie though he has become even more popular.

The Wolverine Battle Claws are a very popular role play toy right now and will sell even faster as Christmas approaches. The main feature of them, other than the way they look, is that they make slashing sounds when the kids swipe them around.

Ben 10 Alien Creation Challenge

With the movie this fall Ben 10 is going to be fresh on all of the kids minds just in time for Christmas. There is a wide selection of toys and games but our number 1 pick is one of the newer games called Ben 10 Alien Creation Challenge.

With this game you have to create your alien before the time runs out. If you are too slow then it all blows up in your face. The game includes 4 alien figures and eight combo cards that you need to play the game. As well as the storage container and the alien key needed to unlock the figures.

You can expand on the game a little by going online and downloading additional combo cards or by adding more figure packs. I would start buying anything Ben 10 related on the Early side this year. No telling how fast these things are going to sell after the movie comes out.

 Snap Circuits

The Snap Circuits toys are winning awards and are without doubt one of the best educational toys out there. They are fun, educational, and come with all kinds of experiments for you to build. This is one toy that you will not mind helping your child play with. It is also one of the Hot Toys this Christmas.

Just about any field that you decide to work in these days you will have to deal with some kind of electrical or electronic equipment. Even in our homes you can't turn your head without seeing something that either runs on batteries or plugs in to the wall.

Need a little help deciding what gifts to buy for a boy. Christmas 2008 is fast approaching and it is always best to get your shopping done early. The popular Christmas gifts have a nasty habit of selling out if you wait too late. You can use this site to help you find those popular Christmas gifts and to find some good discounts as well.

 More Christmas Gift Ideas For Boys

DS Lite Cobalt

Nintendo DS Lite revolutionizes the way games are played with ultra-bright dual screens and touch-screen technology. Connect wirelessly to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and put your skills to the test against players across the room or across the world. With impressive 3D rendered graphics and ultra-bright screens, Nintendo DS Lite delivers cutting-edge portable games for fans of any genre. With the Nintendo DS Headset, you can talk and chat over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or voice command games.

The Cobalt DS Lite is my favorite one of them all. While there is no difference between the different ones other than color I just really like the blue on black color of this DS Lite. Make sure that you buy this early though. With a lot of the most popular toys around Christmas then they end up selling out. The only way to get one after that is by spending three times what it is worth on Ebay.

Bakugan Battle Pack

The mission of Bakugan game play is to battle against other Bakugan to win the points awarded on the cards by getting your Bakugan to land on card. Players will love pretending to be one of the various characters in the show, such as the fiery 12-year-old leader "Dan" or the wise "Marucho," and they gain a deeper understanding of the cards and warriors as they play.

The Battle Pack includes instructions, making it an ideal way for newbies to get started with this fun and exciting game. The game itself is fairly straightforward, but if your child has never played before, you might have to help him or her to understand the rules -- after reading and understanding them yourself. While some of the plastic Bakugan pieces are small and could easily get lost, others, like the Bakugan Deka, are as big as a softball.

Air Hogs Zero Gravity Car

Forget those remote control cars that just scoot across the ground! These Air Hogs Zero Gravity Micro cars moves in three dimensions -- across the ground, up the wall, and even upside down on the ceiling! By using a specially designed suction device, the car can climb a wall and maneuver just as it does on the ground.

Air Hogs makes the only cars that can climb walls, and the Zero Gravity Micro is smaller and faster than the original Air Hogs Zero Gravity Humvee. We were surprised by how small and light the Zero Gravity Micro is; it is basically a thin plastic shell wrapped around a light body with a vacuum in it. Our car was designed to look like a red race car, but you can choose from other designs available as well.

 Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 Blaster

Complete your N-Strike arsenal and prepare for the ultimate in battery-powered blasting! Be ready for any battle with the Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 Blaster-- an awesome, fully automatic dart cannon!

The removable tripod folds for easy transport or a quick escape from enemy fire! Even your toughest opponent wont know what hit him! Blaster comes with ammo box, folding tripod, 25-dart belt, and 25 Sonic Micro Darts ammo and instructions. Requires 6x 'D' batteries, not included. Ages 6 and up.

The Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 gives you the auto-blasting advantage when you're at foam-filled war with your friends and enemies. 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.

Air Hogs Havoc Heli

The Havoc Heli has twin rotors for stability and four-way control for flying in any direction with accuracy -- up, down, under, over, left, right, forward and backward. Like a real helicopter, the Havoc can hover in one spot. It even manuevers through the toughest of obstacles. Intended for indoor use, the helicopter operates outdoors with zero wind conditions, and can fly up to 100 feet high in the air. The Havoc Heli is also equipped with a flashing blue LED light for night flying.

Measuring six inches long and weighing only ten grams, the Havoc fits in the palm of a hand. Extraordinarily lightweight, the helicopter is built for crash resistance with a flexible, high-impact EPP foam body. The internal battery offers twice the amount of flight time as other R/C helicopters. The remote control charges the rechargeable LIPO battery in 15 minutes, providing six minutes of flight time. The remote requires 6 "AA" batteries (not included). Available in yellow, blue, and red, the Havoc Heli comes completely assembled and ready to fly.

EyeClops Bionic Eye

The hand-held EyeClops magnifying "eye" is made of brightly-colored, lightweight, durable plastic and features an ergonomically shaped handle that fits comfortably into small and large hands alike. To operate, simply insert five AA batteries into the "Brain Case," attach the video wire to your TV's video input jack, and turn on the power switch, and you're ready to go!

With the easy-to-hold magnifying lens in one hand, you can focus on any number of everyday objects, such as coins, fabric, your pet's fur and even your own hair and skin. The images will appear on your television, and a zoom dial offers either 100x, 200x or 400x magnification. The EyeClops comes with a focusing lens, a viewing dish and a tube to enable your child to explore a variety of everyday objects safely and easily.

Kid Tough Digital Camera

Kids can pick between using the live view on a 1.5-inch color LCD preview screen or looking through the two-eye viewer when taking pictures. The preview screen also lets kids look at pictures the moment after they take them. With a built-in flash that automatically illuminates darkened scenes, and a shutter noise that makes it easy to know when a picture has been taken, kids are sure to be delighted by their images.

The 64 MB built-in memory stores up to 500 pictures and eliminates the need for handling fragile and expensive memory cards. Two image resolution settings, 0.3 and 1.3 interpolated mega pixels, let kids take plenty of pictures and make 4 x 6-inch prints.

Clone Wars Ultimate Light Saber

Whether your child is a fan of the new Clone Wars animated film or the original trilogy, this light saber, with its light up blade and electronic sounds, is sure to be a hit. Its sturdy plastic components in gray, black, and gold, three colored crystals, and telescoping blade can be combined in over 1000 different ways to create a customized battle weapon.

PowerWing Caster Scooter

Cruise through town with confidence with the Razor PowerWing Drifting Scooter, a sleek and stylish trick scooter that powers itself. The PowerWing sports a pair of rear caster wheels on a double-wing platform, along with a 125 mm front wheel with a patent-pending brake system. The rear caster wheels are what make the PowerWing tick, propelling the scooter with a simple twist of the feet. Thanks to the unique design, it's easy to steer the PowerWing around tight corners or perform kick-outs, side drifts, spin-outs, and other tricks.

Ultimate Bumblebee Transformer

The Bumblebee Transformer is the most popular transformer toy that there is. The recent transformer movie gave Bumblebee a whole new identity from what he had back in the 80's. In that time Bumblebee was a smaller transformer that changed into a volkswagon bug instead of the sleek camaro that he becomes now.

Bumblebee transforms into a massive, powerful robot. Equipped with a plasma cannon, he is more than prepared to defend your local Autobot from Decepticon attacks. This is one of the biggest transformer toys that there is and he is also probably the most detailed.

With a few minor adjustments, kids can transform Ultimate Bumblebee seamlessly between his robot and his vehicle mode. His robot mode stands an impressive 14 inches, and is fully articulated, meaning that kids can adjust him into any pose. He is also incredibly detailed -- likely one of the most attractive action figures your aspiring heros will ever get their hands on.

Clone Trooper Voice Changing Helmet

Featuring realistic details, including a tinted visor, a crest on top, and clone-inspired colors, this durable, plastic helmet has three buttons on the right side that prompt five different sayings from the Clone Wars TV show. A button that issues radio static keeps communication interesting, and commands like "Cover Me!" and "All units fire at will!" add a quick adrenaline rush to any battle. Plus, there's a voice-modulator microphone so kids (and adults) can issue their own statements in a cool clone voice.

Wild Planet Hyper Dash

Hyper Dash is an award-winning fast-paced race course game from Wild Planet that encourages kids to be active and think on their feet. Designed to improve listening, coordination and math skills, this exciting game is easy to set up and is an ideal way to help kids aged six and above to practice addition and subtraction while exercising and having fun.

The electronic tagger plays upbeat music and calls out voice commands to control the game, while players following the commands race against the clock to tag targets identified by color and number. Kids can play solo, up to four players can compete head-to-head, or up to eight players can work cooperatively in teams of two. There's even a level where kids need to solve addition and subtraction problems to figure out which target to strike next.
