Amazon's top holiday toys list has finally been released! For 2020, Amazon has done something a little different and launched a new list called Toys We Love, but the concept is the same as years past: you'll find over 100 toys for all ages that the site predicts will be flying off the shelves come December.

This year's selection includes a ton of great toys and gadgets from kid-favorites like L.O.L. Surprise!, LEGOs, Barbie, and every other toy brand under the sun. To help you find the very best toys for this holiday season, we've rounded up over 20 must-see items all of which are under $30. Take a look, but act fast if you see something you want to grab, we have a feeling a lot of these best-selling dolls, games, puzzles, and stuffed animals will sellout fast.

Want more great toy recommendations? We have expert- and kid- approved picks for every child on your list: 2-year-olds, 3-year-old boys, 3-year-old girls, 4-year-old boys, 4-year-old girls, 5-year-old boys, 5-year-old girls, 6-year-old boys, 6-year-old girls, 7-year-old boys, 7-year-old girls, 8-year-old boys, 8-year-old girls, 9-year-old boys, 9-year-old girls, 10-year-old boys, 10-year-old girls, 11-year-old boys, 11-year-old girls, 12-year-olds, 13-year-old boys and 13-year-old girls. Whew!

FYI: Certain items may be shipped later this year due to the pandemic. You can check here for all shipping deadlines to ensure your item arrives in time for the holidays.
