WITH just under four weeks to go until Christmas, Royal Mail has revealed this year’s top ten most wanted presents, according to children in their special letters to Santa.
Unlike most toy surveys in the run up to Christmas, the Royal Mail findings come directly from the children themselves.
Traditional toys continue to hold the top two spots, with Lego retaining the top spot. Lego has appeared in the top three since 2013.
Bikes have moved up from third place to nab second place this year and Video Games Consoles are a new entry in third place.
Hatchimals leap into fourth place despite not featuring in the list at all in 2016, while Scooters drop from second place down to fifth.
Mobile phones drop from fourth spot in 2016 down to sixth this year, with Paw Patrol also taking a tumble from fifth spot to seventh.
Two new entries to the list see Fingerlings and LOL Big Surprise Ball as the eighth and ninth most popular request of Christmas 2017 with Nerf Guns falling from sixth to tenth.
The findings come from Santa’s helpers’ analysis of many of the thousands of letters sent to Santa, and reveal what children REALLY want for Christmas this year.
The top ten most requested toys of 2017 are:
Lego
Bike
Video Games Console
