I find myself wandering around the toy isles more and more these days. So many of the new toys seem similar to the ones that I grew up with. This could be the toy company's way of luring adults back to their childhood, and I'm okay with that.

Nostalgia Sells

Walmart, Target, Amazon, and other retailers agree that nostalgia is a big seller this year. No matter how old you are, sometimes it's fun to get out your old toys (If Mom and Dad saved them) and play like a kid again. So, when I see things like the Barbie Dreamhouse and Furbies trending for the holidays, I almost feel like writing my own letter to Santa.
