THIRTEEN POPULAR TOYS FOR CHRISTMAS 2011These are among the top picks for kids, according to the gift gurus at Gifts.com. I like thinking of all the happy faces when it's discovered Santa left these under trees all around the country ...
1) Disney Tigger (Eco Plush). The wonderful thing about Tiggers is Tiggers are wonderful things -- and this one is made with recycled fibers and eco-friendly dyes.
2) Fisher Price Topzy Tumblers. It's bright and sturdy and it makes a bit of noise and, oh, hell, I don't know how to describe this. If you have a baby in your life and want to learn more about it, click on the link.
3) Go, Car, Go! A little Euro-styled coupe (in red, green or blue) with a curved roof that doubles as a handle. So kids can grab it, push, it roll it, etc. Even better, it has googly eyes that make it look really friendly.
4) Fisher-Price Rockstar Mickey Mouse. How cute is this! Mickey rocks out with a six-string guitar. His head bobs and he does the splits.
5) Paint a Wooden People Family. Plain wooden dolls come with paint and colored pencils and felt and glue so kids can make their own unique doll family.
6) My Keepon Interactive Robot. This little yellow bird dances to music and responds to touch. (I want one.)
7) LEGO Ninjago Fire Temple. "Battle for control of the four Spinjitzu weapons has begun. Sensei Wu, Kai, Zane and Nya need help to keep Lord Garmadon and his evil skeleton army from taking the ultimate Spinjitzu weapon - the Dragon Sword of Fire." I have no idea what any of that means. But then, I'm not a 10-year-old boy.
8) Barbie "I Can Be an Architect." I'm old school. I like Barbie at Christmas. And this Barbie comes with a hard hat and a blueprint tube and a little model house.
9) Spynet Stealth Video Glasses. High-tech glasses with a video camera on the bridge of the nose. So you can record people without their knowing it. (Tee hee.)
10) Inflatable Flying Shark. With a remote control! So you can make your shark do your bidding from up to 40 feet away!
11) Orbeez Perfume Magic. A kit to help you make your own perfume.
12) NERF Vortex Nitron. A kind of a friendly assault weapon.
13) Buckycubes. 125 little cubes made of really powerful magnets so you can build any cool design you want.

Aha! Today's toys! I did toys today, too, only I did toys from my childhood. I don't have any children in my life at the moment and have no frame of reference for the toys of today. Some of these are very cute!
