Santa take note: Google reveals the hottest gifts this Christmas

Santa might have his elves, but the rest of us have Google.

And following the recent Black Friday spending spree in the US, Google has revealed the top searches for gifts ahead of Christmas.

Flying high

According to Google, drones are so hot right now.

The flying gizmos topped the list for trending toy searches, followed by Shopkins, Hoverboards and Lego Dimensions.

Rounding out the top five were Sinola Watches and Bomber Jackets.

Tech heads
