After months of research and testing, here are the top ten toys, tipped to be on every child’s wishlist this Christmas

Stop the press! After months of deliberating, our expert toy buyers have announced the top ten toys for the year that your children will want to play with time and again. The most-loved? Those with a focus on togetherness, with toys designed to play with friends or family and encourage imaginary play and escapism. 

To kick it off, the brilliant Barbie celebrates her 65th anniversary this year as so, as expected, dolls will be high on wishlists with the Barbie stable set coming out on top. Why? Because it's perfect as a solo toy or with other Barbie products.

Does your child prefer getting creative in the kitchen? If so our deluxe play kitchen (available soon) is perfect for younger children to test out their imaginary culinary skills and features a full dinner service set, cooking utensils and even condiments - fun!

For a sensory gift, you really can't go wrong with Play-Doh, and their ice cream which combines arts and crafts with role-play, while a wooden vending machine toy adds an educational element through counting and letter recognition.

It's no surprised that LEGO continues to be a number one most-loved brand and we're particularly coveting the LEGO santa’s sleigh with reindeers, a creative option for older children that can be built collaboratively as well as solo. For kids into all things building and construction new brand Connetix, is perfect, with magnetic building blocks that develop problem solving and investigative skills..
