If you have a kid on your holiday shopping list, this time of the year is all about one thing — getting them the perfect toy.
We've been finding plenty of inspiration in the hot toy lists from retailers like Target and Amazon, and Macy's and longtime favorite toy destination Toys“R”Us have released their own toy picks, too. Introducing, Geoffrey’s Hot Toy List for 2023. And it's good.
If you paused wondering whether Toys'R'Us was even still around, the answer is yes. Just last year, Macy's announced that it was bringing the beloved Toys“R”Us brand to all of its stores with in-store activations and exclusive collections. So you can shop all of this year's hot toy picks at Toys“R”Us at Macy's stores nationwide or online.
"We are thrilled to bring Geoffrey’s Hot Toy List for the 2023 holiday season to our customers with unique Toys“R”Us experiences for kids of all ages to explore and discover all of these fun toys at Macy’s stores across the country,” Adeline Trento, resident toy expert at Macy’s shared in a release. “We have the most coveted toys on everyone’s holiday list, guaranteed to make you the star of the season.”
Here, we're sharing some of the top picks from this year's list. Don't delay — these prices won't last.
