Enter Fractus Learning. With millions of visitors frequently visiting their website that helps parents and teachers educate and raise happy, well-rounded kids, they have the ability to analyze their rich website user data and pinpoint the most popular Christmas gifts this year across American states.
The methodology is simple but vastly informative.

Below, we outline the findings of the Fractus Learning data insights, and highlight what the most popular Christmas gifts are across American states:
- Squishmallows
Popular in Delaware, Kentucky, Hawaii, Nebraska, and New Hampshire
The breakout toy of 2021 according to Fractus Learning, are Squishmallows plush toys. If you have kids then you’re likely already well-aware of these cute, huggable toys, but if you live in any of the states listed above, the data says these should be top of your shopping list.
- RC Trucks
Popular in Florida, Illinois, District of Columbia, California, and North Carolina
The ever-present remote-control truck has made a phenomenal comeback this year according to Fractus Learning data. Not only are they immensely fun to play with, but they can be used at home and outdoors, encouraging kids to make use of their environments.
- Rock Tumblers
Popular in Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Maryland, and Texas
Fractus Learning data suggests that rock tumbling was very popular in the Great Lakes region and peaks in Wisconsin but becomes less popular in Arkansas and Louisiana. Whilst this could be because of the weather or the availability of rocks in each location, Upper Midwest residents should certainly consider rock tumblers as their choice of gift.
- Telescopes
Popular in California, Texas, Alabama, Maryland, and Georgia
If you live in any of these states, the data suggests you should set you sights sky high.
