The toy industry can be damn near impossible to keep up with, what with approximately four million new toys coming out every millisecond (I rounded up). This holiday season, don't let yourself get overwhelmed by the thousands of "hot" toys [1] that are out — we've been alerted to the most searched-for toys of the year (according to Adobe), and the list isn't miles long. What's better is that all of these toys are brand new for 2018 [2], so you don't run the risk of grabbing something the child on your gift list got last year.
Check out the top seven most popular new toys of 2018 that are sure to be a hit!
Pomsies Patches Plush Interactive Toy
Pomsies Patches Plush Interactive Toy [4] ($15) will tell your child when it feels tired, cold, or hungry with adorable light-up eyes, purring, and cute sounds.
Grumblies
Tremor the Grumblies [5] ($20) has over 40 reactions to kids poking, shaking, tilting, and rolling him.
Little Live Scruff-A-Luvs
Little Live Scruff-A-Luvs [6] ($20) arrive as a sad ball of matted fur, but once your child bathes them, dries them, brushes them, and loves them, they will discover what kind of pet they really are.
Monopoly: Fortnite Edition
The most classic family game night board game of all, this Monopoly: Fortnite Edition [7] ($16, originally $20) has a mix of rules from the original game and some inspired by the Fortnite video game.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Elements of every Super Smash Bros. game before this new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate [8] ($60, available for preorder now and released on Dec. 7) was taken into account in the making of this version, which looks absolutely epic. If you played SSB as a kid, you're going to love playing this new one with your kids!
