What's the "big craze" this Christmas? How to stay ahead of the rush

What do you think the next big thing will be? Last few years we've had fingerlings, lol big surprise and hatchimals.

DD has a habit of asking for the big craze a month before Christmas and I almost gave to fight people to get the last one.

How do you get ahead of the rush?

There was a thread on this a while ago. I think rainbocorns will be popular, unicorns, surprise egg and reversible sequins which are everything dd2 loves at the moment, I have one ready for Christmas!

Wrapples and pomsies look cute and potentially a must have. Similar to the fingerlings. Also have one of each (DD's will each have one and share them)

Lol everything seems hard to find and popular. Dd2 has asked for lol dolls as her friend has one.... I think I might get her a couple but no idea which ones are the best to get. They just seem expensive for what they are.

In answer to your question I gave DD's the smyths catalogue and asked them to write a list!

I reckon for the 6-10 girls group the lol dolls house will be up there!

Interested in this thread?

I'm waiting for Nintendo to announce the N64 mini but it's getting a bit late now if they are going to get it out before Christmas. They announce it first then suddenly release it.

I'm buying some LOl dolls and have a pomsie already, she's 8, nearly 9.

Saw some rainbow slime pooping unicorns in the entertainer and was shocked at the price!

I’ve got the following in my Xmas cupboard for the kids as I missed a few crazes last year:

Pomsies
Shimmeez
Bubbleez
Squeezamals
Unicorn poopsie slime
Treasure X
Grumblies
Lol products

The lol ones to get are the code ones. They are oblong type shape not ball shaped like the other ones and the latest ball shaped ones are the glitter ones hope that helps

Just a warning on the unicorn poopsie slime - a youtuber I follow reviewed 4 packs of it and the slime didn't work in any of them.

Thanks benby I picked up 2 of those lol dolls in Sainsbury's sale today. Hopefully dd will like them!

Yes I’m hoping to find out what the “must have” items are so I don’t fucking buy them.

That Hatchimal was the biggest waste of money ever. At least the fingerling was “only” £15.
