Like most parents I spent too much money, yet I knew in advance what my kids' favorite presents would be: Laser pointers from the dollar store. My son hasn't even touched the Hot Wheels crap, but he and his sister have been teasing the dogs for hours with these stupid lasers.
Progress is amazing. As a child in 1979 I'd never, ever imagine that in 30 years I'd be able to buy laser devices for my kids for a buck each.
Their favorite toys, in order:
1) Cheap laser pointers
2) Nerf guns
3) "Daddy, did you get any new games on your iPhone?"

My dog chased the spot from a small flashlight. A good entertainment break from the boob tube, and I could exercise the dog without having to move myself from the couch!
In another 30 years, maybe you can buy the grandkids some frickin' sharks with frickin' laser beams on their frickin' heads...
For $1.00 ... ;-)
You'll be pleased to note here in SoCal it is low 20s and lots of snow on the ground. Yeah those iPhone apps are high on my kid's list too. My 16 year old got a tripod mounted fully automatic Nerf gun (with the power restrictors removed) so don't expect this to be a passing fad.
I realize this thread is pigged (can I say that here?) but I had to weigh in with the 3 y/o's most favorite gift...
Ready for this one?
A harmonica.
She loves it. Talk about kicking it old skool.
Steph, she may love it, but you will get sick of it real quick. :-)
Lou, truth! =)
Actually though, I find the talking dolly (complete with baby-talk speech impediment) more odious...the poor Chinese people who make this crap must wonder what is wrong with us!
Lou,
One Christmas my son asked his grandpa (my dad) if he'd buy him a drum set for Xmas.
The reply?
"Depends on if I get mad at your parents." lol
