Sears Reveals Top Holiday Gifts for 2008

Sears asked Americans to list their top choices for holiday gifts and has compiled the results into a list of the most requested gifts. Results for the first week included in order, video game system, MP3 player, Notebook computer, Digital Camera, Diamond Ring, Wii Game, LeapFrog LeapPad, Diamond Earrings, Cell Phone, and Diamond Pendant.

You can tell from all of the diamonds that lots of women have voted. Sears says that men are two times more likely than women to want electronics with the men's top gift list having (in order) MP3 player, notebook computer, digital camera, electronics, entertainment system, video game system, outerwear, jeans, shirts, and watches.

Women on the other hand are 30 times more likely to ask for a fragrance, and from the looks of it jewelry. Women picked diamond rings, diamond earrings, diamond pendants, gemstone pendants, fragrances, handbag, gold necklace, activewear, bath and body gifts, and stuff for the home.
