Among this year’s most sought after toys are Squishies – the foam toys that were all the rage in Japan and have since made waves overseas.
The Cats Vs Pickles videogame has been transformed into toy form, with plush characters from this game expected to be a huge hit with kids this Christmas.
Gary predicts that Jiggly Pets will be a big hit. They are animatronic rubber animals made of rubber.
Gary said that there are still some old favorites that could be revived.
He told The Mirror: “Some ranges are always massively popular.
“Barbie has had a big year so far, so has Paw Patrol. And with a Paw Patrol movie on the way, there’s always the potential for an extra boost in demand.”
Gary suggests that you start your Christmas shopping now, even though it may seem far away.
There could be a shortage this Christmas because of delays in shipping due to Brexit.
Gary tells The Mirror: “Already we cannot get the full quantity of containers we need to move our stock compared to last year.
“And we’re still in the summer. Every delay from this point runs the risk of stock not being delivered before Christmas.”
You can avoid Christmas Day panic by shopping early.
