Christmas is just around the corner and there are so many people to buy gifts for and so many choices when it comes to gift giving it is enough to drive anyone crazy. Some of the toughest gifts to give are for children. There are endless possibilities when it comes to toys and gadgets for young ones, but how do you know what is best for what age group and whats HOT this season??

Here is a list of some of the most popular toys this year. Believe by December 25th these toys will be part of your long term vocabulary like 'Furby' and 'Tickle me Elmo'.

Eye Clops by Jakks Pacific sure to be a hit with both pre-teen kids and their parents. Take an eye-popping peek at the world around you with the EyeClops Bionic Eye. The EyeClops is a hand held bionic eye that allows kids to view virtually any item at 200 times the regular size on any TV screen.

Smart Cycle is the perfect system for parents who want to get their video game-loving kids to be more active. Parents simply connect the stationary bike to a TV's A/V jack, pop in a software cartridge, and your off! Average price is $89.99.

O.K. lets face, just about anything related to the hit movie 'Transformers' is sure to be a hit this season but the 'Ultimate Bumblebee to 2008 Camaro' is definitely a must have for boys 5 years and up. This TransFormers Movie Ultimate Bumblebee robot figure from Hasbro transforms into a 2008 Camaro ! It responds to music with animatronics and features different lights and sounds in robot and vehicle mode, but it is a little pricey at $89.99.

You cant go wrong with a new twist on a classic.

All it takes is a card swipe for money to change hands. Now you can collect rent, buy properties and pay fines - with the touch of a button. Recommended from ages 8 years old and up. Priced at $29.99 but well worth it.

There is always the seasonal toys that a child of any age would love a new sled or ice skates something to break up the boredom of cold snowy days- perhaps movie passes and vouchers for snacks.
