Don't pay too much for hot toys

By Fletcher

Avoid the temptation to go online and spend a lot of money on the toys your kids are clamoring for. All these toys will be available in January for their retail price.

If your kids want something big like a PlayStation 2, get on the waiting list at a local store and give them a rain check at Christmas.

Fletcher

Editor's Note: This is a great word of caution. Don't break the bank to buy the hot toys before Christmas. One thing you can do if you wanted to buy something that is no longer available is give an I.O.U. in a card.

Additionally, if you are buying presents online, make sure that the items are actually in stock. There has been some controversy about online stores selling items that they won't have in stock any time soon.
