Holiday shopping is starting early this season for a variety of reasons—ongoing supply-chain issues being a big one—and because of this, many experts are predicting that popular toys will sell out faster than usual. Fortunately, Amazon is helping make it easier to grab a great present early with its annual Toys We Love list, which is a roundup of the hottest toys they expect will be a hit with kids this year. From Funko POP! figurines to LEGO sets and more, the best Amazon gifts on this page can help make Christmas morning even more exciting for the special kiddo in your life.
