We continue our big Top 100 Holiday Gift Guide with our gift tip #2. As announced yesterday we are counting down the 100 days until Thanksgiving day Sales start with a tech-gift tip each day.
Our second Holiday Gift Tip is in the toy category. Elmo has been a hot holiday gift toy for the last couple of years. Each new Elmo doll is more capable and more hilarious than the previous one.
Elmo Live behaves almost as he does on TV in the Sesame Street series. Elmo moves and talks extremely "realistically" as you can see in this early video.

Elmo Live waves his arms, sits, stands, and even crosses his legs, all the while telling stories and jokes, singing songs, and playing games. Like with last year's Elmo edition, Elmo is actually more fun for adults than little kids. Elmo Live will sure induce the fun in your Christmas Eve night or morning.

The large retailers have started taking Elmo Live pre-orders and the new Elmo ships November 1st. Pre-order Elmo Live now to avoid the hassle in November and December to get your hands on one or pay a premium on eBay.
