Look away now ... but it's just over 50 days until Christmas!
And if you are at a loss as to what to buy the kids, top Daytime TV show This Morning has come to the rescue with the annual Top Toys for 2022.
The programme's demo expert Steve Wilson has whittled down the 12 most in-demand toys for kids of all ages - and delivers his verdict.
This Morning's editor, Martin Frizell said: "Fresh from our Halloween spectacular on Monday, we are already looking ahead to Christmas and will be here to help make life a little easier for any parent or relative looking for the latest toy for the younger ones in their lives.
"Our trusted team and experts have once again delivered their pick of the best for this year, and have selected items for all ages and price ranges.
"Your readers will get to see all 12 of these top toys in action on today's show and one lucky person will get to win the lot too!"
FUR FLUFFS PUPPY
RRP £39.99
Steve says: "FurFluffs are an adorable ball of fluffy cuddliness, but that’s not all! This interactive toy will need loving and playing with to eventually ‘open up’ to you and reveal its facial features!
"You can then interact in many ways with games and music, but if your FurFluff feels scared at any point, you may need to coax them out of their shell again!"
CASDON MINIATURE KITCHEN UTENSILS
RRP £10
Steve says: "A timeless classic, miniature kitchens have always been so popular, and you don't need a full mini-kitchen to play with miniature kitchen tools.
"They are just as popular for making mud pies in the outdoors, or for playing with at bath time!"

VTECH JOTBOT ROBOT
RRP £50
Steve says: "JotBot is such a good way to make drawing even more fun. Insert one of the drawing data chips and this fun robot will draw that picture for you to copy, trace or colour in.

MY FAIRY GARDEN - HEDGEHOG HAVEN PLAYSET
RRP £20
Steve says: "My Fairy Garden playsets transport you to a magical world of make believe and fun, with the added bonus of being able to grow actual plants at the same time!
"The Hedgehog Haven features all the things you'd hope for in a playset; swings, roundabout, cute characters and multiple play zones.
"But you can also grow red cabbage in its garden to eat, plus there are educational outdoor activities in a Fairy Field Guide to take part in. Not just hours, but days and weeks of fun!"
LITTLE LIVE PETS - MAMA SURPRISE
RRP £64.99
Steve says: "The magic of having a pet who in turn has babies, all in interactive toy-form! Simply care for your mama guinea pig, and in time she will produce not one, not two, but three little babies, all with their own birth certificates and accessories.
"And unlike nature, you can go through the whole process more than once!"
BRIO WORLD BATTERY OPERATED STEAMING TRAIN
RRP £38.99
Steve says: "A self-propelled train for your Brio train track! This will quickly become the favourite train in any young person's Brio line up, as it has a battery powered motor, working lights and uses water vapour to make a safe steam effect from the funnel.
"Brio train sets are the kind of toy you hang onto as you grow up for your own children and grandchildren to play with. A timeless classic."
MEGA POKÉMON MOTION PIKACHU CONSTRUCTION SET
RRP £74.99
Steve says: "Mega's line of building block kits aimed at children 4 and up will also appeal to grown-up collectors too, and their Pokemon collection is bound to be very popular.

SQUISHMALLOWS
RRP From £8.99
