Top Toys for Christmas 2016

12th November 2016

Every year around Christmastime there is always one particular toy that every child seems to want and every parent is desperately trying to get hold of. I have no idea how one particular thing becomes popular with kids each year, and I’m always clueless until I see people posting about them on Facebook.

The lovely ‘If I Were a Toy’ TV ad has captured the imagination and excitement of adults and children alike with the latest and greatest toys from Smyths Toys Superstores. And now Smyths Toys have just revealed their Top Toys List for Christmas 2016 to help out clueless parents like me. The list includes the likes of Trolls, LEGO and Shopkins, and even a motorbike! I love Smyths (although not quite as much as Ava does!), and handily we have one very close to us – it’s such a huge shop so they have so many toys and games in store and you can get so much there that you need for kids Christmas presents. I took Ava there recently so that I could see what she loved the look of so I could get ideas for her for Christmas.

So if you need some ideas as to what to get for your children for Christmas this year, then here are some of the top toys for 2016, including some that are exclusive to Smyths…

I might get Ava something like this to start off her LEGO collection!

Trolls Feature Poppy

We went to see Trolls this week and Ava loved it (so did I!), and she has been talking about Poppy and Branch lots since, so I think she would love this.

‘Trolls Feature Poppy is a loveable, colourful princess who always takes a break for Hug Time, no matter where her adventures take her. Inspired by the DreamWorks Trolls movie in cinemas now, Hug Time Poppy stands 35 cm tall and speaks 25 phrases when you press her tummy. She even plays songs from the film. Kids can wear a light up bracelet just like the doll’s — when activated, their matching bracelets and the doll’s hair all light up to the beat of the music. Give her a hug and join the fun!’

BMW GS Motorcycle 12v Electric Ride On 

Uhm, I kind of want this myself! Do you ever wish you were a kid again?! This is obviously a much bigger and more expensive gift, but I’m sure most kids would love it. I would love it if the picture of the product featured a girl riding the motorbike instead of the boy!
