The hottest holiday gifts for 2014
From Snow Glow Elsa to iPhone 6, here's what's topping wish lists.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Just when you thought the Frozen frenzy would end, here comes Snow Glow Elsa. This talking, singing, glowing version of the ever-popular Disney character has been deemed the hottest toy this holiday season. We spotted shopper Marcie Rupcich at the Clovis Toys R Us, clutching one under her arm, "I kinda spotted them in the corner and they got my attention and I told my husband we better do this now because by next week, they'll all be gone." the doll is already popping up on eBay for much higher than the retail price of $34.99.

The $80 interactive Zoomer Dino is another one of this season's top toys. Zoomer is on virtually every retailer's top toy list, including Toys R Us' Fabulous Fifteen. Store Manager Teresa Mariscal says other toys on the list include, "Transformers are huge, Ninja Turtles are gonna be huge, Doc Mcstuffin, Leapfrog, Skylanders, so it's really a wide range of toys on our Fabulous 15". While Toys R Us prides itself on keeping its shelves fully stocked, many shoppers aren't waiting until Black Friday to get a start on their holiday shopping. Mariscal pointed to several customers with loaded carts perusing the aisles, "People are shopping early. We have customers looking for these hot toys and they're in here ready to buy."

For grownups, the newly released iPhone 6 and 6-plus are still the most in-demand devices if you can find the one you want in stock. At the AT&T store in North Fresno, the wait ranges from two to four weeks, depending on the model. Area manager Andrew Chacon explains, "The new iPhone demand has been pretty crazy since launch. The inventory level is still inconsistent so we're still taking orders. So if you really want one for the holidays we really encourage you to order it online or come in the store and we can order it for you." Chacon advises acting now to avoid disappointment later.
