Kaspersky Safe Kids experts have analyzed anonymized children\u2019s search requests during November \u2013 a time when kids usually make their Christmas wish lists. Roblox’s most popular game and the most desired toy is LEGO, while bands BTS and BLACKPINK are the top music requests.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Christmas fast approaching, people around the world are making preparations for the big day. Bearing in mind that key \u2018stakeholders\u2019 of this holiday are children, it can be hard for some parents and family members to come up with the ultimate gift ideas. Kaspersky recommends that parents look carefully at kids\u2019 top interests on the internet to ensure that the presents they buy are what their children really want this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Kaspersky\u2019s recent analysis, based on anonymized metadata voluntarily provided by Kaspersky Safe Kids users, children showed the most interest in several areas in November. Games, music, shops and shopping, toys, cartoons, services and platforms, characters, hobbies and activities, and game consoles were the most popular categories. The top three out of these interests are games (44%), music (14%), and shopping (10%).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children who looked for games on the internet showed the most interest in Roblox (23%), Among Us (21%), and Minecraft (20%). Other popular games are Gacha Life (16%) and Fortnite (11%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, despite the new generation consoles which recently went on sale, Nintendo Switch topped kids\u2019 searches (42%), while PlayStation is in second place (36%) and Xbox is third (22%). The most wanted Nintendo Switch console games are Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K-pop music, which has\u00a0rocked the charts in recent years<\/a>, is still trendy among children worldwide. Almost half of \u2018music\u2019 requests are comprised of \u2018K-pop\u2019 (48%) and dominated by two favorite bands: BTS (58%) and BLACKPINK (42%). Kaspersky experts recommend parents consider checking out K-pop merchandise shops for clothing, supplies for school, or some cute souvenirs, or even purchasing a Korean textbook if a child is really keen on Korean culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, toys are still loved by kids. Notably, LEGO accounted for 51% of \u2018toys\u2019 requests, followed by Barbie (22%), Playmobil sets (11%), L.O.L. Surprise! Dolls (8%) and 5 Surprise Mini Brands (8%). Concerning children\u2019s obsession with LEGO, they usually search for special editions of LEGO depending on their favorite game or character. Most desired LEGO sets are dedicated to Among Us (even though it\u2019s not on the market yet), Harry Potter, Star Wars, Ninjago, Technic, City, Friends, and Minecraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaspersky recommends parents find gifts from the gaming industry, explore Korean pop culture, and look at LEGO sets. Although any presents do not undermine the importance of cozy family chats and finding out who your child\u2019s heroes are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/em>There is a popular saying on the internet\u00a0\u2013\u00a0\u2018Google knows more about you than your mother does,\u2019 which sounds ridiculously true. Knowing what your children search for can help parents understand their needs better, consider their intentions and even become a better friend \u2013 which is, of course, vital not only ahead of Christmas but throughout the whole year,\u201d comments Anna Larkina, web content analysis expert at Kaspersky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
