A few days before Christmas, an essential question arises: what gifts to give to children? Board games, dolls, remote-controlled cars… This year, a few trends stand out among this infinite choice.
December 25 and its traditional grand unwrapping of gifts are approaching. But before this long-awaited moment, it is time for the final purchases and preparations for the big day. What gifts will the children find under the tree this year?

The dolls confirm their popularity with children. At the end of the year, two types are doing well. The historic doll with an all-pink universe, boosted by the cinema release of the film directed by Greta Gerwig and the dolls at the forefront of fashion, with gothic, heavily made-up and with flamboyant hair in the colors of the rainbow.
The figurines, disguises, dolls and accessories featuring cartoon characters are sure to please little ones. With this wide choice, they will be able to immerse themselves in the world of their favorite characters.

Manga, these Japanese comic books, are a real success with teenagers. In addition to books, derivative products such as accessories or figurines in the image of their favorite heroes will be a hit on Christmas Eve.
This year, interactive companions, these intelligent toys that react to sound, movement and touch, will be popular with children or nostalgic adults. They take the form of a plush toy, a robot, a virtual animal and even a hologram!
The 3D Tamagotchi is out of stock. It’s a worldwide hit and even the manufacturer can no longer supply it.

In stores, slightly more traditional toys line up at the head of the gondola. They never go out of style and are a hit every year when gifts are opened.

We have the great classics, board games, cooking games, styling heads, which work very well, and remote-controlled games.
After scrupulously consulting the toy catalogs, the children finalized their letters to Santa Claus. In complete confidentiality, the parents agreed to reveal the content of these lists duly sent to the North Pole.
The Christmas list is made. There is a secret locker which apparently is the trend this year for girls and boys to put these little secrets in with a code, a factory to make watches and superhero figurines of all kinds.

Aude reveals to us the list of Anthony, her young son.
He ordered a ball gun because he is a fan of the military world, a circuit, and video games for his console. He’s been making his Santa list since May. For him, it’s Christmas every day.

I have no idea what the current trends are, so I refer to their list. My daughters asked for makeup palettes, a diary, a smart robot, a Macao Macao parrot.

In addition to the great classics, in the years to come, new toy models will slip into Santa’s bag. Neutral colors, non-gendered, more inclusive or eco-responsible… Trends should evolve by adapting to changes in society.
