LEGO and Barbie have been selling for more than 100 years between them but are still among the most sought-after Christmas gifts in Victoria this festive season.
Shoppers leaving it late had to battle big crowds throughout the state, with around seven per cent of Victorians buying last minute presents on Christmas Eve, the Australian National Retailers Association (ANRA) says.
More than $1.46 billion will be spent nationwide in the two days before Christmas, with Victorians stumping up around $233 million on presents alone.
David Jones regional manager Lyn James said despite continuing growth in online shopping, many Victorians still preferred to visit retail stores and purchase gifts personally.
"People love the stores and the experience of being able to touch and feel what they want to buy," Ms James said on Tuesday.
"The trend is definitely around the very last minute," she said.
"This Christmas for children it has been about Lego and Barbie," Ms James said when asked about top selling items.
For adults, it's all about smelling good this festive season with perfumes and cologne among the top stocking stuffers.
Retailers are predicting about $29.6 billion in sales across the Christmas period, a jump of 5.4 per cent on 2012.
