Amazon is gearing up for Christmas
PA
Although we haven’t even celebrated Halloween, it looks like the winter holidays are approaching quickly and they’re prompting people to start gift shopping.
With all this in mind, now may actually be the best time to start looking ahead of the Black Friday sales taking place at the end of November.
To compile the list, Amazon relied on a team of experts to select the top toys of the year, with some well known brands making the list. Parents can even find some educational gifts under £20.
As well as putting together this year’s Christmas toy list, the e-commerce retailer has also revealed that hundreds of the toys will be donated to families in need as part of the Multibank charity initiative.
“It’s always fascinating to see which toys are looking like the must-haves in the lead up to Christmas and this year’s list shows a real trend for 90s nostalgia,” said Matthew Redfearn, Toys Category Leader at Amazon UK.
“Toys like Barbie and Furby have a lot of love and have stood the test of time amongst children throughout generations, and we have a wide selection beyond that for all ages and budgets. We will also be delivering hundreds of toys from the list to families in need in time for Christmas as part of the Multibank charity initiative, helping more children to discover the joy of toys.”
