The early bird gets the worm—or in this case a head start on finding the most popular gifts! Starting now gives you better odds of catching what you want on sale and getting the hottest toys on the market.

To help get a jump on things, Amazon released a list of the top 100 toys for 2017. The list includes, of course, all the best-selling toys and gadgets you have heard of non-stop if you’re a parent. Or, maybe you have never heard of them if you’re buying for you niece or a friend’s kid.

The number one best selling toy on the list is Snap Circuits Jr. This kit offers a hands-on introduction to electronics with more than 30 color-coded, real circuit components.

Cozmo – $179

Cozmo, a “supercomputer and loyal sidekick all at once” can express hundreds of emotions. From curious to clever, persistent to playful, he has a pretty massive personality.

Amazon

Barbie Dreamhouse – $164

Good luck finding a Barbie lover that doesn’t absolutely need a house. I know a Barbie Dreamhouse was for sure on my Christmas list a few times. This one has three floors, seven rooms, 70+ accessories and a working elevator. As to not ruin the Christmas surprise, it even comes in simple brown packaging so kids can’t tell what it is.

You can even feed it with carrots that are included.
