1. Make a list: Making a list of the toys and gifts you are going to buy this Christmas is an ideal way to avoid all distractions and also save a lot of money that would otherwise be wasted on trivia. First of all, get Christmas gift catalogs from as many stores as you can, and then use these catalogs to brainstorm gift ideas. Another idea is to watch the commercials that are on Nickelodeon or The Cartoon Network. The commercials can give you ideas about what Christmas gifts are going to be popular with the children this year.

At first of course, your list will really be a big one, after which you can shortlist it so as to make sure that you spend cash only on worthy items. It is always a good idea to discuss your gift ideas with your family before going ahead with your list!

2. Use discretion: There are two types of Christmas toys available out there: one falls in the traditional group. The traditional toys are the ones with which we are all familiar with, and with which we have played in our childhood. These would include things such as Legos or GI Joe. 

The other group is the ‘famous’ group; the toys which fall in this group are either associated with famous celebrities or are manufactured by a famous toy company. Examples would be John Deere or Disney.

Thanks to the increased commercialization of Christmas, children would definitely vie for the ‘famous’ gifts. But this doesn’t mean that they won’t be happy with traditional gifts either! At the end of the day, children are what you make them! Instead of buying only traditional or only the most famous toys, you can mix the two.

Get the mixture right and buy some toys from each group. Not only will your children appreciate it, but you will also end up saving big money on Christmas toys!
