Toy retailers have reassured parents that they “don’t have to spend a fortune” on presents this Christmas as they revealed the year’s predicted top sellers.
The Toy Retailers Association said it was mindful that 2022 had been “challenging” for many families as it released its annual DreamToys list – those expected to be the most sought-after this festive season. Of the top 12 toys to make the final list, eight cost less than £35.
The cheapest end of the list includes £7.99 original Squishmallows, the £10.99 Heroes of Goo Jit Zu Goo Shifters hero pack and the £17.99 Paw Patrol Big Truck Pups themed vehicles, as well as the Sink N’ Sand game for £19.99. Those whose budgets that can stretch a little further may well be asked for the Barbie Cutie Reveal doll costing £32.99, the £64.99 Little Live Pets – Mama Surprise or the Lego Star Wars Hoth AT-ST for £44.99.
