Best Black Friday 2018 toy deals: Legos, Hatchimals, Star Wars, Xbox One X, PlayStation 4
Signs that you're a full-fledged old: The gift you're most excited about is a Dyson vacuum and the person with a sack of gifts you're awaiting the most is the wine delivery guy. Can't we just go back to the good old days of flipping through the toy catalog over a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
You know the young-ins in your life deserve that joy — what you may not know is what the kids are into these days. (Hot tip: kids play with drones now, not toy planes). And with Toys 'R' Us gone, there's not really a store (or a Black Friday ad with more than two pages of toys) to show you what's big.

Hi, it's us. We've done the research, compared ads, and put together a guide to 2018's hottest toys, complete with all of the places they're on sale. You don't need to know what on earth a Hatchimal is to know that you've heard it mentioned nonstop for the past six months. And the only feeling better than being a kid and receiving the toy you want is being the adult and knowing that a kid has that feeling because of you.
