Whether you're still recovering from a day of hectic Black Friday shopping, or you've been prepared for this year's holiday season since last March, the 'Holiday Toys Then & Now' infographic offers some helpful tips and interesting facts on all the must-have items of the past and present.
Taking a nostalgic look back at the favorite toys of the last eight decades, this illustrated graph definitely brings back some childhood memories for me, especially with the 1990s 'Tickle Me Elmo' boom! While the toy might seem a little outdated now, the newly updated 'Let's Rock Elmo' sounds like it will be a hit this year.
