Thinking of the right gift for everyone on your Christmas list can be taxing, and if you're still looking for things to get your nieces, nephews, co-workers, or your neighbors, we have a simple solution for you. Amazon’s Wish Lists show you what everyone else on the internet is hoping Santa will deliver this holiday season, making it easier to get those creative juices flowing. Here are the top products people are wishing for across seven different categories.

1. Top Video Game: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity for Nintendo Switch; $60

Nintendo/Amazon

Technically, the most wished-for video game products this year are the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox consoles, but those are going to be sold out for a long, long time, so we'll just skip to the first available item. For Nintendo Switch owners who already blew through The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the new Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity prequel game (which is set 100 years before Breath of the Wild), is a must-have. Fans of the series can discover new insights into classic characters like Link and Zelda during the mysterious events of the Great Calamity while battling hordes of enemies at the same time.
