The calendar may say October, but for the toy industry, it's Christmas.
America's Toy Wishes magazine on Wednesday unveiled the toys it predicts will be the top sellers this holiday season -- and the most impossible to find.
The mania surrounding the hottest toys is legendary. Some years, parents have wound up fighting for scarce items in toy stores and $20 dolls have been auctioned off for 10 times as much.
Rugged Elegant Living would like to take the stress out of holiday shopping by making it easy for you to order this year's hot toys. Simply click on any or all of the links to purchase the toys listed below.
Here's to a calm and happy holiday shopping season!

Get ready for a Bratz night out.
This totally stylin' playset features five funkadelic themes in one. Kick off the night by getting down at the dazzlin' disco, which has real floor lights that light up and flash. From there, it's time to cool things down at the smoothie bar before getting gussied up again at the make-up counter. When your Bratz Doll is looking her best, she can strut her stuff on a motorized fashion runway that actually enables her to walk the catwalk all by herself. Then make a quick stop at the changing room to meet up with the rest of the Bratz.
