In a move that's sure to help parents of indecisive children, Toys R Us has just released its five toy trends for the holidays. The list is culled from data which Toys R Us collects from its stores throughout the world in order to determine what toys kids will want this holiday season.

Toys R Us doesn't just look at sales figures to determine these trends, the list also includes influences from the adult world. Bob Giampietro, the Senior Vice President of Trend and Innovation for Toys R Us, provided the following commentary on how some of the categories and toys made the list: "Children continually emulate and adapt based on what they see and hear in real life, and this is reflected in the trends we've recognized this year.".

The Toys R Us Toy Trends for Holiday 2008 include:

• $avvy Savers
• Adorable Animatronics
• Curious Kids
• Earth-Friendly Fun
• Music: My Way

While all of the categories should prove helpful to gift givers this season, the $avvy Savers category caught my eye, especially after Bob Giampietro linked the trends to current events. The $avvy Savers category focuses on toys that help kids save their allowance as well as budget for a big ticket item that they didn't get to unwrap on Christmas morning. I know I would have loved to get one of the items, a laser protected safe, back when I was saving up for a Super Nintendo!

Every man should have at least one pink shirt, if only to prove that he's manly enough to pull it off. If you're a young guy -- let's say, under age 25, at least in spirit -- this one from Hollister is a great one to get you started. This is what Hollister has to say about it:

"100% cotton, left chest pocket, seagull embroidery, Vintage Hollister Destruction Wash, Muscle Fit, Imported"

Basically that means that if you have a good, lean body with a little bit of muscle, you will look really good in this shirt. Abercrombie and Hollister give your chest a nice convex look that would take hours at the gym with clothes from most other stores -- if you're feeling bold, try a size smaller than you normally wear. Note: if you have a Pillsbury Doughboy physique, go with a different pink shirt.

It's currently $9.90, marked down from $15.50.
