Survival Christmas
With many of us yet again having to make less money go even further this Christmas and with our little ones innocently no less expectant,
it’s important that each prezzie hits the mark. To point you in the right direction, we’ve highlighted some excellent toys chosen by the influential Rainbow Toy Awards.
Pots of
Christmas Gold T
he annual Rainbow Toy Awards are unique in so much that each toy in each category is tested, reviewed and chosen by the children (and parents) they are made for! This means you can be confident that your kids will
not only love them, but they will be well made and excellent value – vital if Santa is bringing slightly less down the chimney this Christmas. We’ve highlighted each category winner below….
