The holiday shopping season is now underway, and already, some toys are hard to find. The Zhu Zhu hampster pets, intended to retail for about $10 each, are still fetching upwards of $50 and more, as customers have driven up the bids for this year's "Cabbage Patch dolls."

TimetoPlayMag.com put together a list of the top 16 most-wanted and best-selling toys this season.  (Click here to find out why they made the list). Zhu Zhu is on the list, and hopefully, as supplies increase in the weeks ahead, prices will come back to where they should be.

Here's a great guide to help you select the perfect toys this holiday season. The list is arranged according to age, from youngest to oldest.
