• If you are buying Christmas toys for babies, then make sure that the toy is colorful, large and smooth. Toys for babies should not have any sharp edges, or small parts that might come off. The toy and all its parts should be large enough in size so that they can never be ingested and made out of materials that are non-toxic and hypoallergenic. Colorful rattles, toys with soft music or blinking lights and soft toys are a good choice when it comes to buying Christmas gifts for babies.

• If you have to buy Christmas toys for preschool and kindergarten kids, then dolls, plastic guns, superhero costumes, synthesizers or fake electric guitars, toy cars and the latest super hero or comic book character toys are good choices.

• For kids elder than these, video games, action and board games, and once again superhero related stuff make the best kind of Christmas toys. Older children are also good at expressing their choices, so you can ask them to tell you about three things that they might want, and then buy one that fits your budget as their Christmas present.
