Top Holiday Toys This Year Are Quite The Throwback
What’s old is new again. Each year, parents and forecasters alike try to figure out in advance what the hot holiday toy is going to be. Early contenders this year included Baby Yoda and Squeakee The Balloon Dog. There’s no doubt those will still be popular (especially since Baby Yoda was not even available when the character became an internet sensation last Christmas), but it looks like the real way to win the holidays this year will be to go retro.
According to the Washington Post, “instead of perusing the toy aisle or trading notes during playdates, parents are drawing on their own childhoods for inspiration.” Some of the most popular products so far this shopping season are Legos, Barbies, Tonka trucks, and Hot Wheels. It turns out that when children aren’t together to socialize, and when there is a dearth of new content on kid-friendly stations like Nickelodeon, it’s hard for trends to truly develop. The surefire way for parents to know what all the kids are asking for this year is to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth. Absent that, it’s pretty much guesswork as to whether the Present Pets or the Vango goggles will be better received. Moreover, without playdates or in some cases even elementary school, your child wouldn’t be able to show off her new toy anyway. You might as well get her something that you yourself enjoyed at that age, knowing that it had the ability to spark joy all those years ago.
Popular toys this year include:
Tonka Classic Steel Mighty Dump Truck Vehicle, Single, Standard Packaging — $48.26
Barbie Play ‘n’ Wash Pets Playset with Blonde Doll, 3 Color-Change Animals a Puppy, Kitten and Bunny and 10 Pet and Grooming Accessories, Gift for 3 to 7 Year Olds — $19.99
Hot Wheels 20 Car Gift Pack (Styles May Vary), Multicolor, 7.6″ T — $16.99
In addition to keeping the toy industry during uncertain economic times, hopefully the reemergence of old favorites will encourage parents to get down on the ground and play with their children. In the hectic pre-COVID world, it was all too easy to let the TV or the iPad do most of the work of entertaining the little ones. Perhaps quality time spent together will be the real Christmas winner in 2020.

In 2022, Santa hats are out. Silly turkey hats are in.
I was on Amazon looking for things to do over Thanksgiving with relatives (eventually landing on the brand new game Christmas Categories) when I came across this:
Kangaroo Plush Thanksgiving Day Roasted Turkey Hat Tan — $8.95
My first thought was that it creates the perfect opportunity for someone in the family to recreate the classic Monica turkey head scene from Friends:
Then I realized that there are many ways you can have fun with the turkey hat Thanksgiving. When you play games, you can decide in advance that the loser has to wear the turkey hat. Or perhaps you can start a tradition that whoever carves the turkey each year gets to wear the turkey hat. The possibilities are endless!
No matter how you are spending the holiday this year (with funny turkey hat, or sans funny turkey hat), the We Know Products team wishes you a very happy Thanksgiving!
If you go on Amazon and search for “handheld massager,” you will find dozens and dozens of clones of the same $100 massage gun. My immediate reaction upon seeing this was that there is no longer any innovation in the massager industry. Instead of actually investing in R&D to come up with more advanced ways to help customers, massager companies seem content to copy one another and compete on price.
One company gives me hope. That company is NAIPO, a well-known massager brand whose stated mission is to help people all over the world “Find Well-being.” NAIPO’s latest handheld massager features a brand new design that provides added value for the user. While it is still a percussion massager, its sleek comfort-grip handle grants access to otherwise inaccessible areas of the body. It also features 5 interchangeable massager heads so that you are able to treat each acupuncture point with the best possible massage.
This attention to detail creates a truly customizable experience. After a workout or just a long day at work, you can choose from 5 different speed levels and 5 different working modes, from gentle relaxation to vigorous, deep-tissue massage. By virtue of the extended front grip, you can give exactly the right type of massage to previously neglected muscles all over your body.
A common complaint about percussion massagers is the noise level that can make it awkward or even impossible to use in public. The new NAIPO handheld massager is different. Unlike its competitors, it provides amazing results with only a single massage head. This has the twin effect of reducing noise levels and making it lighter and therefore less unwieldy, a huge plus especially for older users.
The NAIPO XF-5120 handheld massager will be available for purchase soon, and at $52.99 it is inarguably cheaper than similar products on the market. You get your very own either at NAIPO’s own storefront on naipocare.com or on Walmart.com. Stay tuned for more updates!
