There's a smart trick to getting your hands on this year's most sought after Christmas toy.

Unless you’ve been living under some sort of rock formation these past few weeks, you’ll be well aware that Hatchimals are THE PRESENT to get your mitts on this Christmas.

For those of you who are clearly disconnected from society and everything that’s important, Hatchimals are interactive toy pets that begin their life in an egg. After being sufficiently nurtured, they hatch into the world like bloomin’ magic.

Now I’m no kid expert – but I’ve got to admit, that’s pretty damn cool. It’s also a lot more high-tech than the netball I got every Christmas.

Anyway, parents everywhere have been tearing their hair out, because Hatchimals have sold out everywhere and anywhere. It's basically Christmas toy pandemonium.

Until now.

One clever mum from the UK has seemingly solved every parent's headache with a quirky technique.

Holly Smith, a shopping blogger, shared over the weekend that she actually buys the toys from the Italian branch of Amazon, and uses Google Translate to understand the descriptions and shipping terms.

Listen: Have you felt the pressure of the Christmas wishlist?

While many stores in the UK, US and Australia retailed the toys for $300 each, Smith says you can buy them from Italian retailers for about $110 AUD.

"They have loads in stock and are no way near the inflated price on eBay," the savvy online shoppers shared with her followers on Facebook. "They are the English version too!"

Mums and dads flocked to the post to share praise for the creative method.

"I bought two Hatchimals from amazon.it beginning of last week and they arrived Friday, very pleased. Gonna have happy daughters," wrote one.

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!" wrote another happy commenter. "I'm a single mum and can't afford eBay prices. You have helped make things less stressful and made my little girls xmas wishes come true."

So there you have it, folks! Better get translatin' ASAP.

Are you buying your kids Hatchimals this Christmas?
