Toy retailers in the UK have predicted this year's Christmas top sellers will include Barbies, Pokemon and Paw Patrol.
But the annual DreamToys list shows eight of the top twelve most sought-after presents will cost less than 40-euro as parents deal with the cost of living crisis.
The Toy Retailers Association's top picks also include a dollhouse, Star Wars Lego and a cuddly giraffe.
Selected by an independent panel of retailers and toy experts, the DreamToys list is pitched as the most authoritative predictive list of what items will be the most sought after this festive season.
This year, the panel selected a long list of 72 toys, and from that was selected 12 Top Toys for Christmas to suit a range of ages.
The DreamToys Top 12 toys include: Barbie Cutie Reveal Doll, Mattel UK Gabby’s Purrfect Dollhouse, and Spin Master Toys UK Pokémon Elite Trainer Box.
Paul Reader, the new chair of the DreamToys selection committee, says: 'Featuring an exciting mixture of classic toys and the year’s biggest brands, the DreamToys 2022 list encapsulates what we believe will be the most sought after products this Christmas'
'2022 has been a challenging year for many families and the committee took this into consideration when selecting this year’s list with eight of the top 12 priced under £35'
