LEFT your Christmas shopping for the kids until the last minute and looking for some inspiration?
Owner of Toyworld Wangaratta Bill Michalowski said while all toys have been selling out across the board there are some that stand out from the rest including perennial favourites Lego and Barbie, due to their timeless nature, as well as Squishmallows and toy cars.
“Lego and Barbie have always been among some of our most popular toys,” he said.
“Squishmallows are made of this different material unlike any other plush toy, which some people find very comforting, and remote control cars this year have been popular with both boys and girls.”
Lego and Duplo has especially been in demand due to appealing to all age groups.

“I’ve actually been surprised with the amount of people buying them for their dads, brothers, husbands, and themselves.”
Other toys that have been flying off the shelves particularly for the 10 to 12 age range, have been educational scientific sets.
