Top toys for Christmas

It is some time off we know – 12 weeks more or less – but with the kids back at school, Striclty on the telly and the nights drawing in it might be a good idea to start thinking about Christmas.

We’re thinking here mainly about what pressies to get the kids.

Argos has already made its predictions for the top toys for Christmas.
2018 is the ‘Year of the Unicorn’ with the mythical steeds set to dominate the toy scene having already taken over social feeds and the food and design worlds.

Four unique and innovative unicorn toys are expected to fly off the shelves this year, including the My Lovely Unicorn Electric Ride-On (£229.99) which makes a great high-impact gift, to the quirkier Poopsie (£49.99), the unicorn who poops glitter.

Other predicted bestsellers for 2018 include the latest innovations from LOL Surprise and Fingerlings, such as dinosaur-themed Fingerlings and the LOL Surprise Under-Wraps (£14.99) which is the first cylindrical-shaped case from the collectible favourite. TV stars Paw Patrol also feature with the brand-new Rescue Fire Truck Playset (£69.99).

Boxer (£79.99) the playful robot is a fantastic choice for those looking for toys that encourage children to be interactive and imaginative. Kids who prefer something more hands-on will also love the Treasure X 3-Pack Chest (£29.99) which lets you dig for gold-dipped treasure. And construction fans will be delighted with the City Arctic Mobile Exploration Base from perennial favourite LEGO
(£84.99).
