This Christmas holiday will see some new toys on the market that will be the center of attention. However, even with experts and industry insiders making predictions, no one knows for sure what will be the hot toy for 2009. This does not mean that there are not any clues. For instance, look for trends to be heavily affected by the family pocketbook. With many families experiencing a reduction in expendable cash due to a job loss or pay cut, the toy that is affordable will definitely have a head start. The other thing to look for is toys that give a bang for their buck. If a toy can demonstrate that it is actually worth its price even the most reluctant and cost conscious consumer will be willing to pay. Here are some of the big trends to look out for in the upcoming holiday shopping season.

Old toys will have an encore performance this year. Rather than risk their bottom line on new toys that may not sell well, many companies are going to rely on popular and well established toys and games. So look for the reemergence of toys like BopIt and classic board games as well. The best part is that since many of these toys have been around for a while you be able to find them at much more affordable prices than when they first came out.

The growing awareness of the impact of manufacturing on the environment by major companies and the consumer has made green toys one of the trends to look for. Many of these are familiar such as stuffed toys or toy trucks. What makes them special is that they are made with recycled materials such as plastic from drink bottles. Each of these is sure to be sure fire hits. You can now in many cases look at the case of a toy to make sure it is 100% recycled. This and a wide range of environmentally friendly toys are sure to not only give you affordable options but confidence in the products you purchase. (more…)
