Toy Shop UK has published the results of its 17th annual Independent Toy Awards, showing what the nation’s independent toy retailers believe will be the best toys for parents to be buying their kids this Christmas.
The awards are the only ones voted for by the nation’s independent toy retailers who list themselves for free on the popular online directory. Gold, silver and bronze medal logos have been awarded in each of the 30 categories, with several other suppliers receiving a ‘commendation’ logo for products that narrowly missed out on a top three place.
“This year’s list of winning toys features a truly diverse mix of products, which perfectly reflects the life, character, and occasionally eclectic nature of the independent toy retailers”
Toy Shop UK founder Michael Hawkins told TnP: “This year’s list of winning toys features a truly diverse mix of products, which perfectly reflects the life, character, and occasionally eclectic nature of the independent toy retailers that bring so much to this industry.” We couldn’t agree more.
Gold medal winners included SES Creative for the Creative category for I learn the Alphabet, Cartamundi, Games (board) category for Twisted History (pictured), and Zimpli Kids (Collectable category) for the Unicorn & Dino Surprise Baff Bombz.
