Scottsdale, AZ -- (SBWire) -- 11/15/2012 --Recent polls have shown that many consumers plan to increase the amount of money they spend during this year's holiday season. That increase in shopping has already become apparent. Reuters reports that some shoppers began making their holiday purchases as early as October.
The U.S. Commerce Department has noted an increase in consumer spending in the last two months. This can be largely attributed to early holiday sales. However, those who wish to get the latest toys still have time to fulfill the wish lists of those youngsters in their lives.

Thanks to films like Marvel's "The Avengers," superhero toys are expected to be big this holiday season. Target predicts that the SpiderMan Mega Blaster Web Shooter will be one of the most highly sought after toys by boys and girls this year.

According to toy giants Toys R Us and Walmart, classic toys are new again this Christmas. The Easy Bake Ultimate Oven offers a new take on an old favorite.
