It seems every year there’s always a special new gadget or product that’s on every kid’s wish list. And with the gift-giving season quickly approaching, we at GiftWorksPlus started wondering, what were the most popular kids' holiday gifts in history? Here’s what we found!
Most Popular Holiday Gifts for Kids EVER!
-
Nintendo NES Classic: When Nintendo rebooted their 1985 NES Classic gaming system in 2016, they ended up completely selling out. Proving that a little bit of video game nostalgia goes a long way.
-
Pokémon Cards: These were everywhere back in 1999. Some kids just collected them while others would use them to play against one another. Pokémon recently made a big comeback with the release of their free app Pokémon Go!
-
Furby: These fluffy, battery operated pets were the must-have Christmas gift for kids in 1998, selling around 1.8 million that year. They were also successfully relaunched in 2016!
-
Tickle Me Elmo: Speaking of talking, fluffy toys, Tickle Me Elmo was such a big deal when it debuted in 1996, some customers were arrested for fighting over it.
-
Cabbage Patch Dolls: 1983 was a popular year for these cute little dolls. They were so popular that they managed to start the “Cabbage Patch Riots” among customers during the holiday season.
-
Barbie Dolls: Barbie made her debut in 1959 and has been dominating the Christmas wish lists of kids ever since. Her look has evolved throughout time, but she is still the most popular doll out there!
-
The Pet Rock: In 1975 the pet rock was a popular choice among kids. It was in high demand after it was advertised as the perfect pet because it needed absolutely no care... because it was a rock.
