Every year there seems to be one toy that parents will get in a frenzy over to get for their tots. Remember the Tickle Me Elmo or the Nintendo Wii for 2007? This year Elmo is hot again with Elmo Live.

Forget the rocking horse, this holiday is all about a dinosaur! KOTA The Triceratops ($300) is a plush, prehistoric pal that your lil guy or gal can ride on. Six "D" batteries bring this endearing, movable toy to life.

With the toy catalogs piling up on my kitchen table, most of the talk in my home is around new playthings these days. I buy toys, both for my kids and as gifts, from a variety of different places, but started thinking about where people shop. So tell me, where do you buy most of your toys?

My husband is a big kid — he can't resist climbing on the playground structures with our son and daughter or hold back when he takes them to the toy store. More often than not, a trip for one small trinket becomes an all out shopping spree. He buys the toys he longed for when he was little now that he's an adult under the guise that they are for our offspring.

Toys buy moms and dads time. From the cardboard boxes our children turn into forts to the train sets that occupy them for hours, some playful inventions deserve recognition. The National Toy Hall of Fame recently inducted some more playthings to sit alongside past honorees.

I already love Planet Dog's cute, yet sturdy toys for my crazy chomper, North – they're definitely worth the investment because they hold up so well in jaws of steel.
I especially enjoy the minty scent (doggie breath beware) so how cute is their latest creation?! Added to their traditional holiday lineup (of Christmas bulbs and snowballs), is a mint-flavored peppermint candy ($11)!

We've already seen our share of "Chewy Vuitton," "Chewnel," and "Kate Spayed" doggie accessories, so it's only natural that our fashion forward pets get tech savvy and sink their teeth into some gadgets. Take this iPhone knockoff, the iBone for example. Although it doesn't make calls, give directions, check email, or even tell you the temperature outside, it sure does feel good on Fido's teeth!

The name says it all, but that's kinda what scares me! With an embedded rope toy for fetch and tug, Shooey Chewie ($16) looks suspiciously like the sole of my galoshes. Although North hates shoes, some people (like LC) have pups that enjoy eating footwear.

I know, I know. Not all cats like toys. Friends with finicky felines have told me that the material of a toy makes all the difference so I've scoped out these adoro birdy designs with three different textures .
